[ViX_Misc] OE-Alliance OnDemand Plugin ( BETA - WORK IN PROGRESS )

[Phenom]

That is very interesting, I only expected 4OD to work currently in the UK and Ireland as it wouldn't play the stream for us in testing...

Will you try something for me please, on a computer will you try and play something from this website:

http://ps3.channel4.com

If you can then perhaps Geo restriction doesn't apply to Morocco..

BTW, I haven't had a chance to check for the HD stream for BBC yet, been busy getting 4OD and OUG coded. It might be a case that it isn't on our source RSS feeds and if so then nothing we can do I'm afraid.. When I get time ill check for you!

I speculate there is probably a bug in the 4od server side, because on a computer it's geo locked, but using ondemand plugin sometimes it plays, although it does play it really weirdly because if a program starts and then i reopen the program then i got no video.

here is a ss of the video playing (video ss didn't work just gui but on tv there's video)

Yeah, this is what I expected to happen with the GEO restriction.. Again, if you turn on your debug logs and send us a log from after you get the black screen this will help us identify why the GEO code we have in place isn't working for everyone!

there is no crash so no log ? or should i look for log somewhere else ?

Yeah, turn on your "Debug Logs" and send us that. Debug logs will track exactly what is happening (If we have good enough debug logging in our code...) behind the scenes.. This can be turned on in the Logs Settings from the Setep Menu.

Thanks, you are getting the same error that we had experienced during testing so ATM nothing we can do for you I'm afraid... We think this is a GEO restriction coming from the stream server, not sure yet though!

ERROR: rtmp server sent error
ERROR: rtmp server requested close

just noticed this, when the stream link start's with rtmpe://ll.ps3-securestream.channel4.com 4od works outside the uk, when the stream starts with rtmpe://ak.ps3-securestream.channel4.com it's geo locked.

here's an enigma2 partial log, arround line 2800 there's one program playing outside the uk, the others didnt play.

We have code embedded to try and get around the GEO restriction and that is why you are able to even click the programme to start the stream. An error is occurring from the stream server in most locations outside the UK & Eire so not sure how yours is working sometimes an not others.

Can you post a debug here also, please include where a stream played and where it did not?

Ok, here's my log;

Took me a few goes this time to find a stream that would play...

Good spot :thumbsup:

A quick question, have you ever gotten the same programme to play one minute and then not on the next attempt? I am curious whether the server is consistent in what it returns..

######### EDIT ###################

For instance, will "Food Unwrapped" always play for you?

no, it wont play again after once played.

 

[mcquaim]

no, it wont play again after once played.

Thanks Phenon!

We might be able to attempt to loop a set number of times to try and find an rtmpe://ll.ps3-securestream.channel4.com stream and if not then return a message to screen if one was not found.. The returned stream is obviously random if it plays sometimes and not others..

Leave it with me, thanks again!

 

[mcquaim]

no, it wont play again after once played.

Here is an attempted GEO fix for the latest 4OD plugin, let me know how you get on..

Code loops for a non-UK user 15 times trying to find a playable stream, otherwise it throws an error..

Brilliant fix

All 5 streams that I tested worked within a few seconds of hitting play.

Well done guys :thumbsup:

brilliant , just brilliant , all 5 working in just few sec .

thanks to all developers of this magnificent plugin

Hi guys,I installed the original version of this plugin without any problem,now the latest version with 4od will not work.after copying the ipk to temp,it shows in vix/install local extension and then asks me to restart GUI when I say yes,but when I check when it restarts
The ipk is still there waiting to be installed,normally ipk files disappear from that location so I'm guessing it's not installing.i have the on demand folder in the right place.when I go into plugins i get an error after installing? "some plugins are not avaible extensions/ondemand (no module name simplejson)
Anyone having this error with the ipk seemingly not installing?

Nope, IPK installs fine here

What does the error message say exacty?

 

[cosie]

Hey stanman,when I install the ipk from vix.install local extension it says do you want to restart GUI as with any ipk I say yes,it restarts but I still get the error after long press blue "some plugins are not avaible extensions/ondemand (no module name simplejson)
so that suggests that the ipk did not install I guess?

Surely you would see it install on the screen then it would ask to restart afterwards......isn't that the way it would work??

ye it does the usual instal precedure all be it a bit fast,but why would the ipk still be available to instal in vix/install local extention,surley it should be gone as it always has done.i will try another download from another pc and try it just to see if the download is dodgy lol

 

[Stanman]

No mate done this a dozen time over thelast 4 days and it stays there even after install.

The error your getting its not got XLM in there has it?
