Do you mean YleAreena plugin or the SubTV / MTV3 etc. plugins? Because YleAreena plugin is the only one I have fully implemented and released. I don't think that the other plugins will work.. They are pretty much still under work, and I don't remember to what point I implemented them.. They might not even give the stream url to xbmc.

YleAreena plugin should work though.. And I have some info for the playback issue with other platforms than XBOX:

First the bad, the dvdplayer in xbmc does not seem to be able to play the streams from YleAreena.

Then the good, the plugin works fine (i think) if external player is used in xbmc with other platforms, like WMP. There are custom builds for that.

EDIT: Changed external player to WMP, it seems that VLC cannot play areena streams.

Excelent, I was talking about YleArena, so I'm gonna update XBMC tonite.

I took a quick glance to http://www.sub.fi/nettitv/ and http://www.nelonen.fi/nettitv/and they are quite a lot of work in order to Rip the urls of the clips off.. There are few tools to windows that rips and interperts the html...

Those would be quite marvellous to have (sub&nelonen)..

I've been working with another plugin for YLE Areena similar to that doze's but for Plex media server. I decided to write one from scratch due to the difference in the underlying framework. The problem in video streaming (on other platforms than xbox) seems relate to the parsing of the asx-file. Anyhow, I used the following approach to get the video streaming work (and also confirmed the solution to work in doze's plugin):
1. Fetch asx-file, e.g. http://www.yle.fi/java/areena/dispatcher...te=1000000
2. Parse url from asx, e.g. http://mediak.yle.fi/media/areena/1/95/6...148736.wmv
3. Replace 'http' with 'mms'
4. Use the result as video url

There is one ceveat in this approach, though. I found out that some streams (see newest episodes of "Pasila" for instance) go through "ondemand" service, which causes this solution not to work. I didn't figure out yet how to overcome this problem.

Atleast latest tech build XBMC can stream Yleareena in XBOX. But buffering is my problem, why does XBMC take age to buffer streams. The same problem occurs with Apple Trailers also, which is included with XBMC.

Connection is 8mbit NAT, 100mb lan.

In finnish:

Doze mä todellakin ootan et saisit mtv3 ja nelonen sekä subtv pluginit toimimaa!

In english:

Doze, I really wait for you to complete your mtv3, nelonen and subtv plugns!

Plus few feature requests for yleareena plugin....

1. in list view, list also the TV show name, Now you list only shows topic ie. Poliisi-tv - Poliisit ajavat takaa karkulaista! You list now only: Poliisit ajavat takaa karkulaista.
2. Also if yleareena supports gategories like apple trailers ie. documents, drama, kids it would be nice to browse yleareena in gategories.

Hi there.
There are some news rising up that YleArena has dumped MS WMV formatted videos and are turning to Flash (FLV?) mpeg-4 H:264 with AAC sound.

Beta Stage is http://areena-beta.yle.fi/

? How will this effect the Plugin? I presume that some changes must be done?

I've been checking it, but with no results. It's using RTMP so it's quite similar to BBC iPlayer.

http://philwilson.org/blog/2007/12/downl...er-is-hard

where both SECRET_KEY and STREAM_NAME come from a file of the name http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/3/str...er?pid=PID where PID is a BBC Programme ID such as b008h3zq as found on http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/

YLE has similar thing, i'll post information about it when i come back home.

[realjobe]

Current YleArena has now stop working, probably due to a new site, so are there anymore any intrests of fixing this? )

please.

CRAP! Too smart Yle's developers!! s****

[Jeroi]

Yeah, how come some youtube plugins do exist? Does Youtube not ask any authentication?

Some hope for the future development; there's this RTMPDump-YLE program which can download streams from Yle Areena. Maybe a dirty hack could be that XBMC starts this program and it downloads file, then a player plays it. I've tried it on linux and it works, and users are reporting that mingw-windows compiled version works too.

Program can be found here:
