i'm making a python script to watch tv from a french internet provider (only access for french people who are client)
the stream is rtsp format, but my script is a proxy to return the data stream on http.
this works like a charm... i start my proxy, then i can laucnh a .strm file containing the http url to the stream i want.
a couple of seconds later, the stream starts.
i f now, i want to launch the exactly same http adress using python xbmc.player stuff, it hangs, ang log respond
22:50:50 m: 35078144 info: loading web playlist http://xboxip:port/373
22:50:50 m: 35078144 info: get header url: http://xboxip:port/373

i can't figure why it is working with a strm file, but not from python script..
does someone have an idea ?
of coure, i think my proxy don't send a header... but i don't know why player from python hang on this, and why mplayer with a .strm file is just open it without any problem ??

hi

none of you guys have an idea ?

works like a charm :
mystream.strm : http://mystreamserver:port/channel played with mplayer

does not work and hang :
xbmc.player().play("[url]http://mystreamserver:port/channel"[/url])

as a result i got an error saying
info: loading web playlist http://mystreamserver:port/channel
info: get header url: http://mystreamserver:port/channel

what player does your log show is trying to load the stream? (dvdplayer or mplayer)

i'm sure you're aware of this change.

- 08-04-2006 added: pythonscripts can now decide what playcore to use. this allows playback of streams that mplayer does not support
example: xbmc.player(xbmc.player_core_dvplayer).play('.....');

no worries, my xbmc is from 13th of may.

before this date , it was not working at all because of thumbnail that mplaye rwas searching while laucnhing http request.

when i launch the strm file i got :
Quote:23:09:20 m: 34271232 info: loading web playlist http://127.0.0.1:8083/373
23:09:20 m: 34271232 info: get header url: http://127.0.0.1:8083/373

[...] then i got my "rtsp to http" proxy answering to the request

after at least 10minutes of playing stream just fine, no more logs, neither xbmc nor my proxy have something to say in debug log. it juste play fine, i've got commands.

for my attempts with python, i tryed to leave the player() to use default player, i tryed the dvdplayer and the mplayer (others are audio players only i think.)

i really hope someone could explain this difference...

no help, but the following does work. i couldn't find an html stream that would play as a stream file.

Quote:import xbmc

xbmc.player().play("http://www.ontoptv.com/asx/ontoptv.asx")

this one works like a charm...
no, i definetly think my script needs to send a header or something...
but i don't understand why it does not work the same inside python and from the video screen...
someone else ?
any xbmc devs maybe can have a look inside the xbmc code to know what difference may occur... ?

your log shows

Quote:user-agent: xbmc/2.0.0 (compatible; msie 6.0; windows nt 5.1; winampmpeg/5.09)

as your header.

launchbrowser uses one if you need an example.

edit: m_struseragent = "mozilla/4.0 (compatible; msie 6.0; windows nt 5.1)";

this http-header is the one returned by mplayer when launching the stream from the 'video' screen.
so you think i should try to set a user-agent in my script before opening the stream with python player() ?

i will test it as soon as i get back home tomorrow evening.

in launchbrowser, http-header seems to be only used for urllib2 to get http datas.
any other idea ?

up to make you know that the problem is not solved...

maybe it is not possible, but what i would love to know, is why from python or from "my video" screen, behaviour is different...

hi !

no success...

these are my tests results :

from 'my video' screen :
- .strm file with http://127.0.0.1:8083/201 inside : works
- .m3u file with http://127.0.0.1:8083/201 inside : works

from python script :
- xbmc.executehttpapi('playfile(http://127.0.0.1:8083/373)') : works
- xbmc.executebuiltin("xbmc.playmedia(http://127.0.0.1:8083/373)") : works
- xbmc.player().play("[url]http://127.0.0.1:8083/373"[/url]) : does not work
- xbmc.player().play(myfolder+"mystream.strm") : does not work


can really someone think about that, because i definetly thin it is a bug...

i don't even want to mention this, but i will. Smile

it may sound stupid, but could python have problems with proxies? can you enter the xbox's ip instead of 127.0.0.1.

if stupid i will delete.
