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

[danivtec]

Just tested (in uk). Itv, 4od and iplayer work fine.

 

[mcquaim]

right now strange things are afoot, Ive tried the plugin again today and this time 4od will not even populate (screen 1) neither will itv player (screen 2), bbc iplayer populates the shows but when i click on a stream it doesn't play and states it is unable to find playable file.

There looks to be something funny with your internet connection on your receiver, all players failing on a simple read of the feeds:

ITV Player
getMediaData: Error getting Media info:  Error reading file 'http://www.itv.com/_data/xml/CatchUpData/CatchUp360/CatchUpMenu.xml': failed to load external entity "http://www.itv.com/_data/xml/CatchUpData/CatchUp360/CatchUpMenu.xml"

4OD
wgetUrl: Exception:  <urlopen error unknown url type: https>
StreamsMenu: Error parsing feed:  local variable 'response' referenced before assignment

BBC iPlayer
findPlayUrl: Error getting URLs:  global name 'URLError' is not defined

Can you check some other plugin to see if they can access the web or even run a network test and ensure that everything looks ok there first?

This is not Geo or anything as the Geo restrictions don't kick in until you try and play something and most of these are failing when it is simply trying to pull the feeds data.

Right just tested, internet is working fine. However i have got all Ondemand working.................but to do so i had to disable my smart DNS settings and revert to my isp dns settings. i don't understand why i have had to do this. I use smart dns to view ADMC sports in the middle east which is geo locked.

Glad you got sorted, I wouldn't know anything about smart DNS so I will leave that with you!!

 

[mickyblueys]

yeah, cheers! can't understand it had smart dns running for a while now and no problems with anything, including Ondemand until a couple of days ago. if needs be i'll just set my dns up through my Pc for now and not through my router!

I had exactly the same issue, you can solve it by editing the name server settings on the box to not go via smartdns. If you look in the Network, Device Setup area the Name server settings can be changed there, most likely setting it to 192.168.1.1 will be correct. This way you can leave the router to use smartdns for all the other devices.

I will try and give this a go tomorrow, thanks

Ok I tried this, and my name server settings are already set to 192.168.1.1

you could try using tunlr's DNS settings on your receiver it self and see if that works.

The primary (preferred) DNS server is 142.54.177.158
The secondary (alternate) DNS server is: 198.147.22.212

 

[mickyblueys]

I'll have a go after work, cheers

I have just been on my overplay smart dns account, and they state they will gladly add support to the ondemand sites where you scrape you're streams from. Where will I find this info......is it in debug log? Or could you list them here?

Sounds nice... the info is in the source files which are openly available in the git.

https://github.com/oe-alliance/oe-alliance-plugins/tree/master/OnDemand

I wonder whether these guys support Australia, Eire, NZ etc. The Tunlr IP uses servers in the UK and US so doesn't unlock other locations (as you are aware with your needs).

Overplay are a subscription service?

Anyone know an alternative to TUNLR that is free and willing to open the service to other regions? I asked TUNLR and they are not currently willing to offer anything else other than US & UK..

 

[mickyblueys]

Yes I subscribe to overplay.

Tried to install this from instructions on 1st page but fails because of allocation memory error, any ideas or where can i do this manually and where to i stick the files

 

[tolmie]

ignore got it working.

 

[Larry-G]

That would suggest that your flash is almost full which is something i would seriously look into as it could cause issues and when the flash does fill up it will put the receiver into a full on bootloop.

you can install the plugin via the following Telnet command

init 4 && opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand && init 3

or download the .ipk directly from the feeds to the /home/root folder on your receiver with this telnet command

opkg download enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand

 

[rizl4]

anyway to get HD feeds? cheers

 

[Larry-G]

HD feeds are incorporated into the OnDemand plugin now, just press menu when in the main menu of the OnDemand player and set the stream quality to HD.

 

[rizl4]

thanks i didnt see that setting will have a look later
