Hi jamontes,

Thanks for your great plugin. I love watching the ESA videos and especially this morning it was exciting that there was the Rosetta orbital injection.
That's why I was wondering whether it would be possible to add the Live stream of ESA to the plugin as an extra option?

The link is: http://www.esa.int/spaceinvideos/ESA_Live

It would be really cool to see the Rosetta landing in November on a big HD screen! :-D

Kind regards and all the best,

Hi ferriedeperrie,

I'm glad to know that you like to watch the ESA videos using the add-on. I've been trying to include the ESA Live option as you say. Unfortunately, is not that easy as I thought at first time, because the video live source is an rtmp link, and is quite hard (at least for me) to get it properly formatted to play it inside the add-on as any other video.

To be honest, I've been trying to get the rtmp link working outside the web browser for the last three hours (at least, not kidding), without success. I have no experience dealing with rtmp sources, and I have to admit it is something out to my scope of knowledge.

If someone could get the rtmp from the webpage properly encoded to use it inside the add-on (i.e. by calling xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl or the sort), I'll be glad to include the Live option into the main menu and update the add-on with pleasure.

I'm sorry to say that, but by the moment, the only option to watch the live events is through a web browser (or any other app for Android/IOS available), or wait a while until the video recorded is available into the website (I think it is a matter of hours, maybe a day or two as maximum).

Many thanks for your interest and suggestion for improving the ad-on, and best regards,

jamontes.
