    History
    I restarted development on the OnlineVideos plugin originally developed by gregmac45. Since there were many plugins also scraping and playing videos from websites (AdultVideos, YahooMusicVideos, MTVMusicVideos, NrkBrowser, DRipper, TvGemist, MyTrailers, MyStreams), I tried to get their sources or asked the developer to join this project. The goal was to create a single well maintained framework, that
    • eases off the workload for skinners (only one skin for all sites)
    • makes it easy for developers to create and maintain a site
    • provides a unified user experience for browsing online video content from any website
    Installation
    Download
    The current version was developed and tested with MediaPortal 1.16.0. You can also find OnlineVideos in the MediaPortal Extension Installer linked on the Desktop or Startmenu.
    Linked by the installer package are:
    • LAV Filters - they provide the easiest, most complete and contained way to get all the different formats to play that websites use for their videos.
    • Extensions plugin - which allow configuration of almost all OnlineVideos Settings directly inside MediaPortal.
    • MediaPortal IPTV filter and url source splitter - With great thanks to georgius we have a custom directshow source filter that supports connection via RTMP, HLS/HDS and improves http connections by supporting ranges for seeking into unbuffered areas files.
    It is recommended to install Adobe Flash Player for IE on your System to play protected FLV streams.

    Bugreports
    Before posting a "xyz does not work" report, make sure you
    • have the latest version of the plugin installed
    • can reproduce the bug using the DefaultWide skin
    • searched the forum for known bugs
    • checked availability of the actual website providing the video
    • tried playing different videos multiple times on different days
    • tried to download the video (context menu - F9) and play the local file
    When posting always attach logs from a troublesome run (set verbosity to Debug in Configuration, use the startmenu entry: Team MediaPortal/MediaPortal/MediaPortal Debug-Mode and select Report a bug to a plugin developer) and fill out your system specification in the forum's user profile section (and make it public).
    Ignoring these guidelines will result in deleted posts!

    Skins
    The skins files for DefaultWide and Titan are provided with the installer package. Most of the skins with current releases also include support for OnlineVideos out of the box. If your favorite skin does not support it or seems to be missing features/updates in comparison to the Default skins, please seek support in the appropriate thread of the skin creator.

    Please note that OnlineVideos 2.0 has a lot of breaking changes to the previous version. In order to have a good install, please:
    1. uninstall the previous OnlineVideos version
    2. uninstall the older MPUrlSource Splitter
    3. install Onlinevideos 2.0
    4. install the newer IPTV and URL Source Splitter (if not done with OV 2.0)
    Older SiteUtil Dlls are no longer compatible, so check your OnlineVideos.log to see which ones can be deleted.

    Depending Plugins also need to be updated:
    • Trailers by @ltfearme
    • StreamedMP BasicHome editor by @ltfearme
    • most likley other Basic Home editors based on that one

    I want to take this place to thank all people that gave their efforts to make this new release possible. Without your contributions Onlinevideos would never have gone where it is now! Keep up the great work guys!(y)

    One note for Beta test users - do not install OnlineVideos 2.0 from MPEM, this might (will?) install the Beta version again.
    This is how I installed the new version:
    • Unistall beta from MPEM (no need to remove settings)
    • Clear cache in MPEM
    • Open the window plugins directory and remove any remaining online videos files
    • Install the mpe1 file linked to from the opening post (OnlineVideos will not be in the list of known plugins in MPEM after the cache is cleared and and an update of the list)

    Thx for the update mate!

    I do however get this error when selecting the Plugins section in MediaPortal - Configuration:

    An error occured while loading the plugin StreamedMPEditor.formStreamedMpEditor.
    It's incompatible with the current MediaPortal version and won't be loaded.

    I am running MediaPortal 1.10.0 using StreamedMP skin. Also tested on 1.10.100 with same result.
    Not sure which logs to add here, so if I can be of help uploading them, just tell me which ones.
