[BoxFreak]

I'm willing to donate if someone continues to developing this addon and makes it working again.

Areena for Playstation just isn't good enough (sound problems, buffering and so on).

[teepean]

The problem is explained here:

https://github.com/aajanki/yle-dl/issues/71

I've tried enabling php and AdobeHDS.php but haven't been able to actually get it working.

[JPXNET]

"AdobeHDS.php or youtube-dl is required to download videos from Yle Areena. AdobeHDS.php additionally requires PHP and the following PHP extensions: bcmath, curl, mcrypt and SimpleXML."

With Windows...better solution is use python and HDS.
With AdobeHDS.php we have to install php?!

[teemue]

I have requested Yle API keys, I'll try to figure something out if I only find time...

E: The problem with the official API is that it excludes some of the media (e.g. news). It also requires a certain key for media to play and the key should be hidden according the license agreement. It's not easy with an open source plugin.

[teepean]

Php can be found from the unofficial repo but it is missing bcmath, mcrypt and SimpleXML so it would have to be recompiled.

EDIT: I'm talking about Openelec.

Flickfetch uses hdsdump to download from areena, maybe that can be used?

https://github.com/WendyH/hdsdump/releases

EDIT: Hdsdump compiles with mono so that might be a cross-platform solution.

[mize]

hdsdump is indeed promising. I just compiled it in my Visual Studio and moved to my osmc. then installed mono:
sudo apt-get install mono-complete

After that ran hdsdump :
osmc@osmc:~$ mono hdsdump.exe -h
You can use hdsdump with following switches:

-h |--help displays this help
-l |--debug out debug output to log file
-p |--play dump flv data to stderr for piping to another program
-st|--showtime show time remaining
-fp|--fproxy force proxy for downloading of fragments
--post use POST method for http request
-wk|--waitkey wait pressed any key at the end
-sl|--showmlink display manifest link at the start (deprecated)
-c |--continue continue if possible downloading with exists file
-a |--auth <param> authentication string for fragment requests (add '?' with parameter to end manifest url)
-s |--duration <param> stop live recording after specified number of seconds
-fs|--filesize <param> split output file in chunks of specified size (MB)
-m |--manifest <param> manifest or playlist file for downloading of fragments
-b |--urlbase <param> base url for relative path in playlist
-od|--outdir <param> destination folder for output file
-o |--outfile <param> filename to use for output file
-th|--threads <param> number of threads to download fragments
-q |--quality <param> selected quality level (low|medium|high) or exact bitrate
-f |--start <param> start from specified fragment
-t |--skip <param> skip time hh:mms
-lf|--logfile <param> file for debug output
-ua|--useragent <param> User-Agent to use for emulation of browser requests
-re|--referer <param> Referer in the headers http requests
-ck|--cookies <param> Cookies in the headers http requests
-un|--username <param> username to use for access to http server
-ps|--password <param> password to use for access to http server
-px|--proxy <param> proxy for downloading of manifest (http://proxyAddress:proxyPort)
-pu|--proxyuser <param> username for proxy server
-pp|--proxypass <param> password for proxy server

osmc@osmc:~$

Has somebody any idea how to fetch example video with that?

[JPXNET]

My point was...
Plugin is python code
yle-dl is python code
- You can download newest and change it to yle-dl.py. And replace old one.
and if we don't download videos, we don't need AdobeHDS.php or youtube-dl
I believe main purpose is watch and secondary download?

I did that after yle-dl 2.9.0 was released but it doesn't work anymore.

Me too, but plugin must be changed.
I suppose we need calls to HDS part of dl.
I'm not a python coder, but ATM plugin use old site (V3) for program info and videos.
For new site, we need HD streams.
example: http://areena.yle.fi/1-3171644?autoplay=true

yleareena.py is hardcoded to rtmp:
line 60:
dl = yledl.downloader_factory(url, None).wrapped_class("rtmp")

change it to hds:
dl = yledl.downloader_factory(url, None).wrapped_class("hds")

restart and play:

URL is incorrect. Any idea how to correct that one? Same result with yle-dl 2.7 and 2.9

[mize]

Finally some progress:
- install mono: sudo apt-get install mono-complete
- copy hdsdump.exe to your home
- download yle-dl 2.9
- Replace line 79: hds_binary = ['mono', '/home/osmc/hdsdump.exe']
- Copy yle-dl 2.9 to your rapberry pi
- test it: python yle-dl.py --protocol hds http://areena.yle.fi/1-2420309 -o isotkoneet.flv
- scan your library and play isot koneet with sub titles!

That's totally outside of Kodi/plugin? Progress?

We all can use 3rd part downloader

Protocol change isn't enough, it wont work even if you change urls.
I believe you must fix yleareena.py and ybmxUtils.py

yle-dl is part of yle areena plugin:
https://github.com/szymex/xbmc-finnish-t...areena/lib

Working yle-dl is prerequisite for working areena plugin. Current plugin is hadcoded to rtmp and hds part of yle-dl 2.9 is not compatible with yleareena.py. I just tried to get live stream working with my modified version. Not luck yet.
