Videos from internet are not always played - ololoe - 2013-07-21

I created a srtm file

STRM files only work one URL per STRM file.

RE: Videos from internet are not always played - ololoe - 2013-07-21

No, a file with multiple urls is displayed as a directory. And the links cannot be played even if 1 link per file.

RE: Videos from internet are not always played - ololoe - 2013-07-21

Noone knows?

RE: Videos from internet are not always played - ololoe - 2013-07-21

Is this forum dead?

RE: Videos from internet are not always played - negge - 2013-07-21

As always, post a debug log showing you trying to play one of those streams.

RE: Videos from internet are not always played - ololoe - 2013-07-21

Have you tried opening them by yourself?

That's not a debug log (wiki) and it's only a snippet. Please upload your entire debug log (wiki) to a public paste site such as www.xbmclogs.com and post just the assigned URL here. Finally, please do not bump your own thread in less than a 24 hour period.
See forum_rules (wiki) 1.3.6 and 1.1.6, respectively.

RE: Videos from internet are not always played - negge - 2013-07-21

@ololoe: I just tried to play one in VLC, it didn't work. Some files just can't be streamed without downloading the whole thing first, I've seen it happen elsewhere. I don't know if the problem lies in ffmpeg or the web server.

RE: Videos from internet are not always played - ololoe - 2013-07-21

@negge VLC doesn't play or buffer too long even the first file, so it isn't a good comparison.

So can someone tell what's wrong with that files?

@artrafael you have the urls - you don't need logs, unless the program behave different.

RE: Videos from internet are not always played - negge - 2013-07-21

@ololoe: if VLC can't play them, chances are very high XBMC can't either since they both use the same codecs. Since those files are just plain AVI files, why don't you just download them?

RE: Videos from internet are not always played - Ned Scott - 2013-07-22

We're not your gofers. If you want help then generate a log file for us to look at.

RE: Videos from internet are not always played - ololoe - 2013-07-22

@negge I meant VLC doesn't play it from internet. It have to play it from local drive but I haven't checked it.

@ned Scott what's the problem of opening that links? My log can contain some private information I don't want to share. You won't see goatse if you open them, don't worry.

Exactly the point negge was making. If it won't stream for VLC, chances are it won't stream for XBMC either.

Which is the second point negge suggested you do.

You can always edit your log to remove sensitive information before uploading it.

Ololoe you are rude beyond belief. If you can't be bothered uploasding your logs, I don't know why you expect help.

FYI the first two play OK for me (although there is quitre a delay before it starts to play, it is NOT downloading the whole file first though), the last doesn't work at all for me.
