[WIP] RTE Player for Enigma2 - Irish Video on Demand plugin

[judge]

I live in Ireland, so I can't get BBC iPlayer or ITV. I won't have anytime soon to work on CH4.

I'd say all are possible, seeing as it works in XBMC with python.

No worries. Just wondering, have you looked at the Irish TV3 player?

It works great on my ET9200

I had a quick look at TV3 early. As it working in xbmc so should be doable. I want to clean up the code first, but I will try to add it to the same plugin. Might got a chance to do the code clean up tomorrow.

Thanks Roger, it really is a great & long awaited plugin for E2 boxes, well done.
Couple of screenies of how it looks when VIX'd to default skin & a plugin icon if you want it.

Hi All.
Been using the rteplayer this morning for the first time to watch a full program (only used for short clips previously) and it keeps stopping from 1-3 mins in. Tried several programs and on my DUO and SOLO with the same effect. They play fine on laptop. Internet is 22ms 12mb down 5mb up and can stream full HD video no issue on several devices (tablet, laptop and phone )so it seems specific to the plugin.

Anyone else having this issue.

No problems here either. Using beta-1 on a uno with vix 3.0

 

[Mr. Mister]

Have not had any problems on any of the 3 releases.. All working great..

Got this installed on 2 x Quads..

 

[dfdream]

Thanks Guys.
Its still the same for me now.
Stops after a few minutes.
Ah Well...

 

[Mr. Mister]

Hi df..
I know this is a bit long winded.. But why not try a fresh flash Build 553 with no backups.
Then install the plug in again.. ?

 

[dfdream]

Just rebuilt them both Friday evening with openvix-3.0.552-vuduo_usb.zip.
And did online update to 553.
Its no biggie.
Thanks Anyway...

This is the code used for playing the files:

fileRef = eServiceReference(4097,0,fileUrl)
returnValue = self.session.open(MoviePlayer, fileRef)

class MoviePlayer(MP_parent):
	def __init__(self, session, service):
		self.session = session
		self.WithoutStopClose = False
		MP_parent.__init__(self, self.session, service)

I don't know a lot about how this works. If anyone knows how it works or how to make it work better, this would really help.

I'm more a interested into getting the regex working for different sites.

This plugin should work worldwide. If we get the right playing video files code, it should work for the different sites eg BBC iPlayer etc

Not sure if this helps, but here is a link to the code used by the xbmc iplayer plugin :

You can see how for example the feeds are retrieved starting with the code:

class feed(object):

Fixed unicode character ' -to '

RogerThis not sure if this is possible, but is there any way you know of for outputting programme name rather than stream name for info button press?



The unicode fix works perfectly by the way, thank you.

 

[RogerThis]

Yes, it is possible. I should be able to fix it during the week.

excellent, no rush in implementing it.
Plugin working perfectly, so thanks again.
Only other thing, pressing stop to exit out of stream results in bringing up movie list rather than live TV, have only tested this on VIX on various boxes though so not sure if it's intended behaviour? or an image issue?

If anyone else is interested in making similar plugins, this is how I learnt how to do it:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Write_plugins_for_XBMC

Scroll down to "2.1 Test, test, test again"

Here you will learn how to used regex (regular expression) to parse a html document and get the useful code, to go from page to page, and find the video file to play. It take a bit a practice, but if you're like me you will find it really enjoyable.

XBMC and Enigma2 both use python programming language, so the only real difference is how it's displayed on the screen. If you have any previous programming experience, then you will pick up python every quickly.
