[ViX_Misc] Seeking forward and backward in IPTV and VOD

[rimas]

Seeking forward and backward in IPTV and VOD is possible in openATV.
https://github.com/openatv/enigma2/commit/fc11c25fca955b26c863eaa0234806fa1c929270
And it's not only for VOD. For example Estonian public tv and radio channels can be rewinded up to 120 minutes.

#DESCRIPTION ETV HD

I find it very useful. It would be great to have this feature in OpenViX.

Where are the commits that make it possible?

In addition, you need to install the plugin seekbar. I made these changes and it's working for me on OpenViX too.

 

[rimas]

I was mistaken. There is no need to install seekbar or any other plugin, to make seeking work. These changes are enough.

Can anyone confirm whether this will be implemented in openvix please. Preferably the next update!

 

[Huevos]

Please zip the files you have made changes to and post them here because going from ATV git causes merge conflicts for me.

Can someone tell me where to ftp these files to so I can give it a try. Thanks.

If you don‘t know then wait, so that it can be incorporated correctly into OpenViX

In streams with multiple resolutions ViX selects the lower resolution first. This causes often picture to freeze when switched to higher resolution. In ATV the higher resolution stream is selected first and picture does not freeze.
I think this is the fix for that.

[spanner123]

Can all these improvements by rimas be implemented as soon as possible please. Then my Solo2 will be a perfect iptv player!

 

[rimas]

With these files selecting the hi-res stream first works in ViX. Perhaps ViX coders can use them.

 

[spanner123]

Any timeframe when these improvements will be incorporated into the image please.

 

[twol]

Seeking forward & backward will be in the next build

Please also include a diff.

Please also include a diff.

ViX is working on my ET10000 with these patches for almost a week. No crashes, very stable.
I tried to modify as little as possible, but I'm no expert.

 

[twol]

This diff changes more code than just picking up the "connection speed" for m3u8 (.hls) and omits some of the .hls code.
As pointed out in another thread, Servicemp3 has been heavily re-written by ATV and has been just changed again recently, so would have thought that just the m3u8(.hls) code would have been sufficient - I am not knocking the change (after all I have Christophecvr's changes in my ViX clone), its just how far you need to go.

 

[rimas]

It didn't compile for me with lesser changes. As I said - I'm no expert.
Please provide a patch for ViX yourself.

Or box crashes on multi-res streams.
