Crash to desktop when downloading a video but streams it fine... (1 Viewer)

Hi.

Hope someone can help. I have a weird behaviour with onlinevideos and tube+

There are certain videos on Tube+ (havent tried other sites as I just dont use them - actually i will try bbc iplayer and see what it does) that play perfectly when streamed. If I however try to download the video (my broadband isnt super fast and streaming some of the HQ videos causes it to stop start a lot) will cause a MP crash. It basically exits MP to the desktop. To start with if i kept trying it might download it, but now it seems to not want to do it at all.

I have a couple of clients (with different hw) and they all behave the same - so im hoping it is something ive not setup right.

Any ideas?? Starting to drive me crazy as the particular video (in the logs) i reeeaaally want to watch!!

Logs of mediaportal and error attached - onlinevideo log is clean.

I had the same a few time - I did not have time to investigate further, @offbyone : I might be able to reproduce this.

Yep, I can reproduce (tried to download Charlie Chaplin Limelight as a sample). See attached Debug logs. Downloading Parallel or sequential does not change the behaviour.

From the logs it must be a bug in the Tube+ SiteUtil code, where a filename is to be extracted for the downloaded file (NullRefEx). Tagging @doskabouter

Oops, small mistake.

It should be fixed now
