Seem to be getting a timeout error on all of the latest channel 4 (4od) programmes. Is anyone else having problems watching say "8 out of 10 cats does countdown"

    Does the video work on the actual website because it doesn't for me?

    I find 4 OD a bit hit and miss. I did change the timeout settings in the config menu to 1 minute as I found the default 15 secs was too short for 4OD porgrammes and it helped a bit.

    The old programmes seem to work fine, it seems to be mainly the programmes that were first broadcast on and after Friday 24th August 2012 that say they can't find a valid url. The programmes that won't play like 8 out of 10 cats does countdown work fine on the website they just wont play in online videos. I keep getting the message "Error getting playback urls for video"

    I have tried extending the timeout but the problem still exsists.

    I have attached my logs, if anyone needs anything else to investigate this let me know

    BTW Running Windows 7 32bit, Mediaportal 1.2.3.0 and OnlineVideos 1.3.0.2261 and have 3 machines running this they all have the same problem.

    As I say its not every video just the programmes that were first broadcast since around Friday 24th August 2012.

    Looks like the new videos are using flash dynamic streaming which isn't supported until the next release of OV, I'll try and get a fix ready.

    Will do, although it looks like 4od have changed their key encryption method for the new streams so I can't get to them at the mo :(

    Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode?

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
