My best regards for all.
I'm using (and like so much) NASA add on 2.0.1 (downloaded from Github and installed as zip) on my Kodi that is in D-Link Boxee Box.
I`m writing this to ask for some help only about problem on Live HD Videos as "Nasa TV HD, Educational Channel and Media Channel". I don't have problems on " ISS Live Stream".

My problem is the live video stops show (shows that is paused) and when I can see that streaming is in download, in a progress bar. The live video go back to play when the streaming bar go to end and so I can see again the video for some seconds and problems backs.
I don't have any other problems to see other types of live videos as Youtube, Genesis or Ices.

I appreciate If any can help me.
Thanks and Greetings from Brazil.

I have come up with a temporary workaround until the author updates this addon.

There seem to be two options for streaming the main HD channel: from the NASA site directly, and the Ustream channel. I was able to get Ustream playing in Kodi, however there seems to be no way to get an HD stream...just low iphone quality crap. Google failed me in discovering a solution to scrape a reliable HD playlist from Ustream.

So I moved my efforts to the NASA channel directly. I was able to scrape an HD feed in the form of an .f4m playlist. Using the addon, F4MTester, I now have high-res video the main NASA channel on Kodi. It's not perfect (~1-2 sec buffer every minute or so at any bitrate), but it's a hell of lot more watchable than smooth 320x240.


I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG THIS WILL KEEP WORKING, but here's what ya do:

1. Install SuperRepo repository if you don't have it already (https://superrepo.org/)
2. Download and Install f4mTest addon
2a. (Optional) Addon has a max-bit rate configuration...no idea if it works
3. SSH or directly edit the following file: ~/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.f4mTester/default.py
3a. Somewhere near the bottom there is a large list of video streams, remove all of that

Code:

videos=[[...],
[...]]

3b. Add this one line:

Code:

videos = [['http://nasatv-lh.akamaihd.net/z/NASA_101@319270/manifest.f4m?g=SUSHDCJRBITU&hdcore=3.7.0&plugin=aasp-3.7.0.39.44','NASA HD','',0,'',False]]

3c. Save file back out
4. Rejoice

Or you could just use:

Code:

http://nasatv-lh.akamaihd.net/i/NASA_101@319270/master.m3u8

which is 720p from the website and skip fooling around with the .f4m stuff

Thanks, you're totally right. I didn't know where to find the .m3u8 file, you're a savior.

For anyone wondering, you can modify: ~/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.nasa/addon.py

Code:

STATIC_STREAMS = (
    {
        'title': 'Nasa TV HD',
        'logo': 'public.jpg',
        'stream_url': ('http://nasatv-lh.akamaihd.net/i/NASA_101@319270/master.m3u8'),
    },

No highjack intended, but for folks that would like to have an EPG for the Nasa TV channel, you can load my script.USChannels and page to the last entry to see the current 3 hr EPG listing for Nasa TV, as well as play the channel.
