Hello everyone.

I asked the maintainer of deb-multimedia.org to package inputstream.adaptive and inputstream.rtmp. He did, I installed them both and now I have no way to check if they work so as to provide any feedback. The only one i know is plugin.video.netflix from here, but it needs 2 things I do not have: kodi 18 and... a netflix subscription.

https://github.com/asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix

Do you know any addons that use them?

Thank you in advance.

YouTube I think.

That's what I though as well, even before asking him to package inputstream.adaptive and inputstream.rtmp, but plugin.video.youtube does not use any of the two yet. There is a relevant discussion here

https://github.com/jdf76/plugin.video.youtube/issues/53

I think you are reading that github thread too narrowly.

YouTube addon certainly uses inputstream.adaptive.

How can it use inputstream.adaptive when it does not even have it as a dependency?

Code:

    <requires>
        <import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.20.0"/>
        <import addon="script.module.requests" version="2.12.4"/>
    </requires>

from here > https://github.com/jdf76/plugin.video.yo.../addon.xml

Needless to say I use the latest 5.5.0 alpha given from his github.

If it does use it, how can I verify it? Codecinfo and playerinfo show the usual stuff.

p.s. How do I upload an image here? I uploaded them on imgur, please click the link.

This is the video playing, in case it looks like illigal streaming etc

It is optional, so not listed as a dependency.

https://github.com/jdf76/plugin.video.yo.../addon.xml

[add] mpeg-dash support for live content (requires inputstream.adaptive >= 2.0.12)

There is even a link to set up inputstream.adaptive in the youtube settings dialog in kodi.

How you tell if it is working, sorry, not sure.

I have a netflix account, but no debian box sorry.

I am looking it up now, thank you.

You should get stuff like this when looking at youtube live - the Channel "Venice Italy Live Cam - Grand Canal In Live Streaming From Hotel San Cassiano Venezia" plays in 1080p for me.

I found a more user friendly way to verify it. After setting inputstream.adaptive's stream selection to manual, open a video on youtube, select dash as its quality, click the gears icon > video settings > video stream > and select one of the qualities available as seen on the screenshot. The change in quality is instantly noticeable, so it works.

Any ideas for inputstream.rtmp?

[spiff]

just find some rtmp stream, stick it in a .strm file and play it. note: you have to verify in log, mere playback is not proof as there is limited built-in support for rtmp in ffmpeg.
