I found out what is the problem with the playing of the streams from uitzendinggemist.
There are a lot of tvshows which start with a very short flash fragment, in which the STER symbol is shown.
When such a fragment is in front of the moviestream, XBMC will not buffer the movie it self!

On uitzendinggemist.nl there are also some moviestreams which do not have such a flash fragment in front, and those streams are buffered correctly and played by XBMC!

Does have anybody else have this problem too?

Basje Wrote:If this is the case, could you please give me an example of such an item with flash? Then I will fix it.

Plofkroket Wrote:Examples that have the flash preview are 'Boer zoekt vrouw', or 'Bananasplit', or 'Blik op de weg'. All programs of Nederland 1. Also other channels use these flash previews.

Examples of programs without flash preview (these are the tvstreams which do get buffered and played) are 'Ajax, missie kaapstad' and 'Jorge Castro ontmoet', also tvstreams of channel Nederland 1.

Basje Wrote:Well, I tried all the above and they play find for windows and XBMC. Please post a complete uzg.log (at pastebin.ca, don't paste here) after starting an item that does not play correctly.

Performed actions:
- after starting XBMC live, I directly started the XOT_Uzg script from the myscripts directory.
- Within XOT_Uzg I directly browsed to the newest episode of 'boer zoekt vrouw'(29-11-2009).
- XBMC shows the first frame of the tv stream, but it doesn't buffer.
- I pressed the 'play' button, and for the tvstream starts playing for less then a second. Then it stops.

One suggestion for the cause of this problem:
Maybe the XOT_UZG application uses the duration of the 'ster' animation (flash) (which is in front of the tvstream) as if it is the duration of the tv stream it self.
When I open the tv stream itself in IE on my windows PC, the flash animation is about the same duration, the first time I open the tvstream in IE.

hanlof Wrote:So i had this problem too (running T3CH from Jan 17 and XOT-Uzg v3.2.0b6 on an XBOX. No Linux. no PC.).

I have not figured out why it crashes but i hacked around the problem by adding try/except around line 204 in logger.py.

For anyone else who i looking for a quick and dirty fix i suppose you can simply remove line 204 from the file resources/libs/logger.py (the one that is listed in the error log). Thus turning

Code:

def debug(self, msg, *args, **kwargs):
        self.Write(msg, level=DEBUG, *args, **kwargs)
        return

Into

Code:

def debug(self, msg, *args, **kwargs):
        return

This will kill all logging but it does get the script to run.

Basje Wrote:Well, the problem is that I cannot get XBMC Live to work in my Virtual PC. So it will take a bit longer.

Goga777 Wrote:yes with current truck I can play mms stream without any problem
http://trac.xbmc.org/changeset/27149

also need to install the patch for libmms 0.5
https://bugs.launchpad.net/libmms/+bug/512089

still has someone the problem with mms streams ?

pele Wrote:Any updates on this.

I'm running XBMC Live 9.11 and downloaded the plugin from http://www.rieter.net/uitzendinggemist/.

Then copied it to /home/xbmc/.xbmc/plugins/video/XOT-Uzg.v3

When I try "Add Source" - Video Plugin - XOT nothing happens. Don't even get logfiles (which I suppose will be found in the same directory as the plugin )

Even tried to copy it to the scripts folder but no luck.

TIA!
