Get Videourl from OV in MP2 (1 Viewer)

[FreakyJ]

Hey @offbyone
I'm just trying to port the MPCast Plugin to MP2. In MP1 it is possible to get the Videourl using this code (stolen from Mytrailers^^):

class OnlineVideosTrailersHosterProxy : MarshalByRefObject
    {
        public OnlineVideosTrailersHosterProxy() { }

        public Dictionary<string, string> GetPlaybackOptions(string url)
        {
            return HosterFactory.GetHoster("Youtube").getPlaybackOptions(url);
        }

        public string GetVideoUrls(string url)
        {
          var allHoster = OnlineVideos.Hoster.Base.HosterFactory.GetAllHosters();
          MPCastServer.getInstance().logger.Info("Onlinevideos: Count {0}", allHoster.Count);
          foreach (var hoster in allHoster)
          {
            MPCastServer.getInstance().logger.Info("Onlinevideos: {0}", hoster.getHosterUrl());
          }
          return HosterFactory.GetHoster("Youtube").getVideoUrls(url);
        }
    }

But in MP2 I get 0 hosters, do you know why it is so? Or better can you tell me how to do the same in MP2?

 

[offbyone]

All Hosters are defined in the siteutil dlls, so they must be present (downloaded when the automatic update on entering OV runs). Can you play YouTube videos in OV-MP2?

 

[FreakyJ]

Can you play YouTube videos in OV-MP2?

yes I can
And OnlineVideos.Hoster.Base.HosterFactory.GetAllHosters() gives me zero hoster :/

 

[offbyone]

Just to be sure:
a) go into OnlineVideos, YouTube, play a video. (so we can be sure the Hosters are initialized - Hoster != Site, even though in your case both have the same name)
b) execute your code -> still 0 hoster?
c) be confused

 

[FreakyJ]

playing a video works
But the code still says 0 oO To be honest my code is hacked together from the MP2 Airplayer and the MPCast plugin because I never written a MP2 plugin yet... but at least this line of code should return a value grater than 0 oO

 

[offbyone]

It might have to do with the second AppDomain that OV hosts all sites and hosters in. How are you creating the instance of your OnlineVideosTrailersHosterProxy ? It should be some call to "unwrap" the object from the other domain not a simple new.

OnlineVideosAppDomain.Domain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(...)

 

[FreakyJ]

Yes, this part looks like this:

 // Load OnlineVideos Assembly from OV AppDomain.
          var ovHosterProxy = OnlineVideosAppDomain.Domain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(typeof(OnlineVideosTrailersHosterProxy).Assembly.FullName, typeof(OnlineVideosTrailersHosterProxy).FullName) as OnlineVideosTrailersHosterProxy;
          var ovURLS = ovHosterProxy.GetVideoUrls(ytURL);
          MPCastServer.getInstance().logger.Info("Onlinevideos: {0}", ovURLS);

I just attached the whole file

 

[offbyone]

Hm can you attach the logfile of the MP2 client, maybe I can read smthng out of it

 

[FreakyJ]

Sure

 

[offbyone]

Hm there's no line in the log about OnlineVideos being initialized?
