[ViX_Misc] OE-Alliance OnDemand player official support and discussion thread.

[mcquaim]

Hi All involved, this is a fantastic plugin much appreciated. Is there anyway to get the same HD streams in this plugin as on XBMC?

Hi there,

This request has appeared a few times and it is something that we need to look into to see if it will be possible. If the XBMC Addon-on can play the HD stream then I presume that our OnDemand plugin should be able to do so also.

Time will tell though..

I'm afraid that this is one that we can't take credit for I'm afraid..

I suspect that the method used to bypass Geo Block (service called TUNLR) must have been having issues that have since been resolved. Anyway, great to see that it's back and working :thumbsup:

What image & build are you using?
If using ViX, it's now in the plugin feeds.

Latest VIX mate? Where is the feeds section please?

It looks like all of your attached logs are the same and I can only see an attempt to play a BBC iPlayer stream..

Anyway, for users outside of the UK the only streams we can play are source by Limelight. For the show you tried to play it doesn't look like a limelight stream was available as this is the error thrown:

Non UK Address
findPlayUrl: Non-UK and no limelight, return blank:

I suggest try and play a different show and see if that works for you on the iPlayer. As I can't see any details in the log for ITV Player I can't debug this fro you...

Thanks for your reply just tried again, still the same on bbc, itv and 4 but rte and 3 ok. I have attached another log file hopefully with all the info in, sorry about the last one.
Thanks again nml

Thanks Phoenix, do i not need to FTP a IPK file then? I just simply go through the steps you mentioned and it should already be there automatically?

In your latest log I can only see one attempt to play a programme from BBC iPlayer, no output from any of the other players you mentioned

As for the BBC stream you are trying to play, are you always trying to play the same stream or trying different ones and always getting the same error?

BTW, where are you based?

Yes just try the feeds or the telnet command and it should be fine.

All dependencies are in the feeds. If it does not work dont worry as andy is currently in the process of rebuilding the feeds and having a major clear out of the ViX build machines etc.

OK, I'm looking for a UK based user to test a bit of code for me on this HD option..

I have added a new stream quality option of HD so the plan is that if you select a programme that has a HD stream available it should hopefully play it as long as you are in the UK. Unfortunately HD streams don't seem to be available from outside the UK so this is why I can't test this myself..

So, can someone in the UK transfer the two files in this zip over onto the OnDemand folder of your receiver and then reboot. If you could then launch OnDemand, press Menu and change the preferred stream quality to HD and then try and play the latest episode of Top Gear from the Most Popular category (I know this has a HD stream).

Can you report:
1. That the programme plays.
2. That you are getting the HD quality stream.

If you don't know if the stream is HD then change the config option back to High, play Top Gear again and compare the quality of both.

Works brilliant on Top Gear .

BBC icon is a lot smaller on the HD stream

 

[danivtec]

Also works in the HD section of iplayer

 

[grampy]

Top gear on now and is definitely in HD

am in UK and all working well

great stuff

 

[Larry-G]

also may be worth pointing out here but on my main TV at home the BBC icon is never cut off even before this test file possibly as i have overscan turned off on the TV ?.

Yeah, it always displayed fine for me too but I also had overscan turned off so perhaps that..

Anyway, looks to be working then so happy days, thanks for testing lads :thumbsup:

I will release this to the GIT now then!

 

[Larry-G]

Just a quick thanks to those who tested this file for us, you really helped us a lot here as none of our UK based guys were available to test the file.

As for the BBC stream you are trying to play, are you always trying to play the same stream or trying different ones and always getting the same error?

Hi I am based in Granada Southern Spain.
I am mystified as to why the log only shows 1 attempt, what I did exactly was to test a different stream on BBC a stream on ITV and 4 also RTE and 3 and the last two worked. I downloaded immediately the log file from home via ftp. Is this the correct way to do it?

Just a bit more info that Could be relevant my internet connection is wifi via a subsidiary of Telefonica using a cable router and of course the box picks up a local network address for dns. Strangely I can use ITV player on my Foxsat hdr but not Iplayer.

Thanks again for your time and help.
