Hello folks,

I recently updated my Kodi to kodi 17 on my raspberry pi 3. I heard talking about dash mpeg support then i tried to play an mpd stream with no luck, i have created an .strm file like this :

Code:

#KODIPROP:inputstreamaddon=inputstream.mpd
http://download.tsi.telecom-paristech.fr/gpac/DASH_CONFORMANCE/TelecomParisTech/mp4-live/mp4-live-mpd-AV-BS.mpd

I have tried with several differents URL nothing is played. Can someone explain to me how it works?
Thanks in advance

What distribution of kodi are you using?
inputstream is an external binary add-on. Do you have that?

[neosqualls]

Hi popcornmix,
I have the latest version of Kodi available via pipplware repository. I thought inputstream wars integrated to Kodi. So i have to install this addon ? Where can i get it?

[rascas]

In Linux, Kodi binary addons are generally packaged separately from Kodi program.
Also inputstream.mpd (and also inputstream.smoothstream) were superseeded by inputstream.adaptive.

You can install it by running the following in a terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install kodi-inputstream-adaptive

Than you may need to enable it in "My addons".

To search for additional available binary addons do:

Code:

apt-cache search kodi

And install what you want.

And don't forget to change your .strm files to inputstream.adaptive like this:

Code:

#KODIPROP:inputstreamaddon=inputstream.adaptive

Many thanks for that quick and complete response. I will try this evening

Ok so did what you say, i installed the addon, i did the activation then i modified my file but i still have this message : Can't find a next item to play ....

I am under Kodi 17.0 Git: 20170202-523ece1-dirty if it can help and the latest raspbian jessie

And here is the log when i try to play .mpd file :

Code:

You also need to add this to the .strm file:

Code:

#KODIPROP:inputstream.adaptive.manifest_type=mpd

More info here:

[neosqualls]

Ok, so i have been able to make this file to work with you help : http://download.tsi.telecom-paristech.fr...-AV-BS.mpd

But i have other mpd's files with different manifest that doesn't work, i have a curl error 400. Is that related to inputstream.adaptive / smoothstream ?

Thanks

[rascas]

No, error 400 is an invalid address.

[neosqualls]

Weird because, here is the log file :

Yup, that's it, malformed / invalid address. It has to end with .mpd or .ism.

[neosqualls]

But i dont understand what is malformed, because it work if i play it with this player http://dashif.org/reference/players/java...ce-player/
there is no problem, my file end with .mpd :https://***********/t/PZVPOKSZPHK7W35/fre1/none/aac/full.mpd

[neosqualls]

From my understanding it's a matter of absolute and relative path of the stream correct? By default it will use the path of the mpd file to get the path of the stream ? I have this in my log : https://*********.com/t/PZVPOKSZPHK7W35/.../fre1/none
And of course this file return error 400 because it doesn't exist, is there a way to change this ?

[neosqualls]

Hey guys, i have found the line i wanted to change usine inputstream source from github but i don't know how i can compile the source and then reinstall the addon does any of you know how to do that? Thanks

[rascas]

What exactly do you want to change, and why ?

You can follow this for compile instructions:
