Folks -
Some of you will be aware/have been following
the thread we've had going about H.264 corruption on post-Dharma ION/VDPAU builds - or, "a green wavy line over the bottom chunk of an HD iPlayer stream", as some of you may know it :-)
Anyway, just looking for a bit of help here from anyone else... FernetMenta has successfully patched XBMC to correctly handle files of this type, and I've successfully played files which were failing before, so it's looking really good (well done, that man!). However, to test it properly, I'd like to see iPlayer HD streams also working as they did in Dharma - but the iPlayer plugin isn't working for me at the moment, even on a clean installation.
While I have a look at this (yes, I'll pull a full debug log if needed ...), I thought I'd throw it open here in case there's a BBC or XBMC change that's already broken the plugin - or whether it's related to FernetMenta's patch - or some Ubuntu updates - or whether it's just me and I should thus take it personally.
The symptom is simply iPlayer video stream not working - silent failure or the "One or more items failed to play..." dialogue box. Radio seems to work (albeit buffer-y).
The only errors I can see in the debug log are some
DeprecationWarning statements and then
ERROR: Open - failed to open source <...> followed by
ERROR: CDVDPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening [...] before XBMC gives up with
ERROR: Playlist Player: skipping unplayable item: 0, path [...].
Time to fiddle with some CDNs, etc., but thoughts/volunteers appreciated in the meantime!
