F4M - BBC live streams won't play (2 Viewers)

[Brownard]

Hey

I can't get the BBC live streams working with the new F4M splitter from SVN. The splitter does seem to correctly read some stream info but then fails.

I retrieve the stream selector f4m file which returns

<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">
  <dvrInfo windowDuration="7200"/>
  <media href="http://zaphod-live.bbc.co.uk.edgesuite.net/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/bbc1/bbc1_480.f4m" bitrate="480"/>
  <media href="http://zaphod-live.bbc.co.uk.edgesuite.net/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/bbc1/bbc1_800.f4m" bitrate="796"/>
  <media href="http://zaphod-live.bbc.co.uk.edgesuite.net/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/bbc1/bbc1_1500.f4m" bitrate="1500"/>
</manifest>

then pass one of those urls to the splitter.

I'll look on this problem as soon as possible.

Filter commited to SVN, try if better.

Definitely an improvement, the stream starts playing but stalls everytime on 4 seconds - the picture freezes and the audio just loops

I hope that I fixed problem, filter commited to SVN, try if better.

Looks like you fixed it , thanks - I'll let you know if I have any more problems.

EDIT: The streams play fine but it looks like they're starting from the wrong point, looks like it's about 8 hours behind lol - I presume that the BBC keep the whole of their live feed available and we need to determine the live point.
Also it's not possible to skip back through the already downloaded parts of the strean, is this the expected behaviour?

A polite bump in case my edit above was missed

Yes, I missed your edit. Thanks for notifying me

Filter commited to SVN, live stream should be starting from correct time (maybe few seconds before). In live streams seeking is not working, in common streams is working (at least on streams which I tried).

Looks good, almost exactly in sync with the website. Thanks for the effort!
