RE: [RELEASED] PlayIt service : Play hosted video url remotely on XBMC - sparkyvanburen - 2013-06-28

ok somehow i think i am an idiot...
i am trying to send a novamov video to xbmc...
i have this link
http://www.tubeplus.me/player/2122173/MythBusters/season_12/episode_1/Painting_with_Explosives___Bifurcated_Boat/
in the listings there are many video links..so i try the novamov one...it gives me this error, i try an xvidstage one, or a putlocker...
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=32826
and there is a link directly to the novamov site...
http://www.novamov.com/video/d00d6c9104a49
but try as i might, i cant find any way to send the video, i always get errors, and i see that it is a javascript error, but i dont know why...
ididnt see any "guide" because it seems it should be self evident, fairly straight forward type of thing...but somehow i am not able to decipher this enigma...any idea please?


RE: [RELEASED] PlayIt service : Play hosted video url remotely on XBMC - sparkyvanburen - 2013-06-29

ah so i can play the video from the link i pasted here in this previous reply...is there a way to be able to play the video from the address bar of firefox? http://www.putlocker.com/file/164432235C457BE1 for example...have that in the address bar, then right click and it will send it to xbmc? or is there another way of doing it with existing links like in tubeplus or 1channel or elsewhere?
edit: i guess i could just make an html file with gedit and make the links i want hyperlinks...
aka
<a href="http://www.movshare.net/video/f1272bf3dbac2/">video</a>
then that would work, it is just an extra step

No need to create HTML and do all techie.. :)
Enable extension (addon) bar on Firefox. There you will find two buttons provided for playit. One to play address bar and second for playit frame view.

It doesn't play amazon. Do you have any info on drm flash? Is this means the video is encrypted and its decrypted by browser flash player if so there is no way we can intercept the video content.

I will check if it is possible.

It is very nice of you to share logs but until it is taken in debug mode, I am unable to find the url used by you in request. Please make sure to enable debug logging when capturing logs for error.
Which website your are using with PlayIt frame View? Sometimes the URL is wrapped into javascript url which causes this issue.


RE: [RELEASED] PlayIt service : Play hosted video url remotely on XBMC - ajay - 2013-06-30

PlayIt v0.4.3 UPDATE logs:

- Added VEVO video and playlist url support. MUST have VEVO plugin created by BlueCop pre-installed.
- Added BBC iPlayer episode url support. MUST have BBC iPlayer by Hitcher pre-installed.

KNOWN Issues:
- YouTube has recently updated its algo for video signature encoding. Some of the videos on YouTube may not work.

ah sorry,
here you go, tried it again, only novamov worked

Firstly, URLResolver provides support for tube plus but seems like the website has changed and the current code used in URLResovler doesn't work. This means don't expect video streaming will start by sending website URL.

Secondly, The alternative for above problem is to use PlayIt Frame View and try to send streaming website URL. The Frame was getting created but not visible due to alignment set on video frame, kind a crap code written by website owner. Fixed the alignment of frame view, it will now be visible, sometimes not full but enough to make the job done.

This update is pushed to all extensions, available for Safari and Chrome immediately but not for firefox. For firefox, it has gone into review and will take time, if interrested download it from following link(v1.0.1):

http://code.google.com/p/apple-tv2-xbmc/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Faddons%2Fservice.playit.browser-extensions%2Ffirefox

Yes, the BBC iPlayer addon works perfectly in the UK! I am guessing that you might be able to test the website outside the UK using "Hola Unblocker" chrome extension.

The PlayList issue is fixed but it can be limited to 50 videos only. I hope there wont be really big playlist. Usually, its preferred to have less number of videos in playlist because the streaming URL expires quickly.

BBC support added but not tested. Hopefully, it will work.


RE: [RELEASED] PlayIt service : Play hosted video url remotely on XBMC - sparkyvanburen - 2013-07-01

you sir are awesome Big Grin thanks for the fast fix!
edit: so i installed the new firefox extension and i now i see the frame view on almost all vids, sometimes just a small corner, but enough to be useable.
still having problems on links that i thought would work, like movreel, muchshare, putlocker/sockshare etc.
i did get it to work with vidbux, videoweed and novamov so that is cool Big Grin
really like the youtube playlist feature, will be great for my kid and her mr rogers/sesame street Big Grin
i am including debug log if you wish to see it
thanks again for all the nice work

Youtube playlist working great

BBC iPlayer not working though. Pops up error message saying that Iplayer addon V2 must be installed, whilst it is already installed in my case. Please see debug log attached for your convenience.

Oops there is one typo in my code. Forgot to write bbciplayer addon I'd instead I put Vevo addon id. I will fix it in evening. It should work after you install vevo addon or wait for my update push.

Hi Ajay...things are looking pretty positive. I have tested BBC-iPlayer on Windows as well as Raspberry Pi. Below are my findings

Windows: Video starts playing but a dialogbox covers the screen showing that video is loaded 80%. This does not happen when I play the same video directly from the addon.
Please Find Debug Log here. Please see screenshot below

Image

Raspberry Pi (Openelec):
1.Video started playing perfectly the first time around but then all my android remotes and webinterface got disconnected. Had to SSH into RPi and reboot. Please see log here

2. Sending the link again using playit pops up an error message saying "Stream already playing, unable to open stream, to continue, stop all other streams (try pressing X)". I googled up a fix to this (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=167996).

3. Upon clicking the "force resume lock" in the BBC addon settings, the stream starts playing but no video...just the audio. Android Remotes and webinterface cannot connect. Log here. Rebooting and re-sending the URL using PlayIt brings back the error as listed in point #2 above.

I got a problem with this
I have installed chrome extension off playIt
entered my http://192.1xx.xxx.xxx
port 8181

Checked it on XBMC settings same port but every time I get "unable to connect"

Firewall related maybe? but after I shut that down aswell still no go...
