RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - primaeval - 2016-08-07 Loads more channels irn|bru found that each Red Button stream has a b version too and they have completely different programs. I've added them into a beta version in my repo, along with several local channels (for local people, of course). You can find it in here, until it gets into the main repo. https://github.com/primaeval/repository.primaeval/raw/master/zips/repository.primaeval/repository.primaeval-0.0.1.zip http://imgur.com/a/irjTc RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - desertblade - 2016-08-08 @primaeval Thumbs up! The script you had for the red button makes this just about perfect to watch Olympics.

RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - primaeval - 2016-08-09 (2016-08-09, 12:20)cacheman Wrote: Hi.... It might be that OpenElec uses a cutdown version of ffmpeg that doesn't have png output. Can you try it on a desktop/laptop computer and see if it runs there. It needs python2.7 and ffmpeg. I have only tried it on Win7.

PNG is now handled by ffmpeg in kodi. That means it is more likely that you will be able to use png from ffmpeg from python. RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - cacheman - 2016-08-09 Hi.... Thanks for the super quick reply. I was hoping to avoid using Windoze, but perhaps thats the way I'll have to go. On another issue, I have noticed that if I try to play something which is listed as 'Live' on www.bbc.com/iplayer, I get a 'iplayer WWW errror' and it says check the log. When I do I see the error below (in this example I was trying to play a live Rio 2016 item). This only seems to happen if I try to play something listed as live.....if I play something not listed as live (and presumably pre-recorded) it works fine. Would be nice if this worked, but not a show stopper, can still use most of the functions.....just thought you might like to know about this. If there's anything I can do to fix or test something, happy to help. Hope this helps.

The Olympics Day 3 Highlights stream is definitely an error in the addon: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07nm4g2/olympics-day-3-highlights That stream doesn't use our normal source for streams, so we don't find them correctly. Are there many that don't work? RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - cacheman - 2016-08-09 Hi.... Right now on the BBC iPlayer site there is a BBC Collection called Olympics 2016 with 9 live programmes.....this appears in the add-on under 'Highlights -> Collection: Live: Olympics 2016 - 9 available programmes' but the only one of these 9 that works is the one which is not listed as 'Live' and that is Olympic Open Ceremonies. None of the other 8 work....they all fail with the same error in the log file. Tried the same collection at various times yesterday, but always failed on anything live with the same error. Also, under Highlights there is 'All Olympics live streams - Don't miss a moment from Rio'....if I select this, a 'Finding episodes....' popup appears, but it never finds any episodes and I'm presented with a blank program listing.....the only entry is '..'. Hope this helps. Chris.

RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - primaeval - 2016-08-09 (2016-08-09, 14:46)cacheman Wrote: Hi.... I think the Olympics Day 3 Highlights stream was just bad luck. The correct stream seems to be found now. The Live Olympics links don't work properly because they point to the Red Button streams but we don't parse them properly. In the meantime you should be able to see those links in the Red Button channels. You can use my script to get a snapshot of all of them, if you are ok with python.

I got your script to work on Windows, so using that makes the red buttons much easier. Perhaps it's already in the works, but if somehow the live links could activate the relevant red button channel, it would probably make life a lot easier and your 'Red button whats on' python script wouldn't be needed. Thanks for your help.

Here you go. One very raw addon that should show you which stream the live olympic channels are on and let you play it. BBC Live plugin.video.bbc.live in my beta repo: https://github.com/primaeval/repository.primaeval/raw/master/zips/repository.primaeval/repository.primaeval-0.0.1.zip It might break tomorrow. Be warned. CaptainT is away so no fixes will get through to the main Kodi repo before the olympics are over. So use this or the official iplayer apps on your favourite device or tv. RE: New plugin "iPlayer WWW" - thenextman - 2016-08-10 Thanks Primaeval! The brand new BBC Live add on works well and fills in the Olympics gap left by that non-functioning "Live Olympic" section in the Highlights area of the iPlayer WWW add on. Thanks to Cacheman as well for bringing this to Primaeval's attention; I'm sure there were many other users like myself who were also experiencing the same issues but didn't speak up. Does anyone know if there is a method that would allow you preselect the preferred bitrate stream for this BBC Live add on so you could launch the live video right from the sports event list? Right now, you are presented with a list of different streams with varying bitrates (and formats maybe?) to choose from. It still functions, so it's basically a matter of streamlined convenience and speed to facilitate easy quick switching among Olympic live events. Either way, I just want to express my appreciation to Primaeval and other Devs for these quality addons!

A quick hack to only show one stream with the selected bitrate or offer a choice. The addon is deliberately ugly as it is only meant to be a debugging and testing tool. If anyone wants to rip the olympics code out and make it pretty, be my guest. |
