MERGING MediaPortal Url Source Splitter & IPTV Filter (8 Viewers)

[moryoav]

I'm trying the m3u playlist (attached as a zip file), when I load the playlist in the TVServer plugins page (TV Server Configuration -> Plugins -> Mediaportal IPTV filter etc) then it loads fine and all the URLs get a "V" next to them when I click on the "?" icon.

Then, I go to "TV Servers" -> My HTPC Name -> DVB-IP MediaPortal IPTV Source Filter" and I select this m3u file in the Service dropdown list. I click on Scan.
First problem: The 3rd URL: http://sw.gostreaming.tv:1935/live/smil:myStream.smil/playlist.m3u8 is marked red and is not added as a channel.

Then after the scan continues, when it gets to this line:
rtmp://rtmp.zerocast.tv:1935/live playpath=rGCi7bg0Qxvs8q7Sl13l swfUrl=http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/10/jwplayer.flash.swf live=1 flashver=WIN\202012,0,0,77 timeout=15 token=8964316ec8772dfa live=1swfVfy=1 pageUrl=http://zerocast.tv

Then TVService crashes and the entire TV-Server Configuration exists.

And all that happens after all the URLs in the m3u file get a "V" from this plugin...
So am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?

Thanks!

It is not valid playlist, it is master playlist, which is not supported.

Then after the scan continues, when it gets to this line:
rtmp://rtmp.zerocast.tv:1935/live playpath=rGCi7bg0Qxvs8q7Sl13l swfUrl=http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/10/jwplayer.flash.swf live=1 flashver=WIN\202012,0,0,77 timeout=15 token=8964316ec8772dfa live=1swfVfy=1 pageUrl=http://zerocast.tv

RTMP protocol returns FLV stream, which is not MPEG2 transport stream. Crash is caused by partial incompatibility between filter and TV service - this will be fixed soon.

EDIT: working on updated filter and plugin to show compatibility of received stream with TV service.

The main problem, in my opinion, is that the plugin marks the stream with a "V" so you think that it's going to work, and then when you go scan you realize that there are problems, either a stream is not supported (master playlist? it did get a "V") or crashes the whole thing. So the process that marks the streams with a "V" should be a little more selective.
This plugin is incredible. I cannot understand how this is not an integral part of MediaPortal. It definitely should be.

Thank you georgius for your hard work.

Yesterday was released filter version 2.1.6.5489. It fixes crash problem, also is updated TV server plugin, which is checking compatibility of received stream with TV service. It should not mark stream with green "V" until stream is surely compatible with TV service.

I was able to install without error message - but there is no "database editor" visible.
What could i do?

Do you see any other tabs (like playlist editor, separate settings for protocols)? Which version did you installed (I hope that laest 2.1.6.5489 - you can check it in MediaPortal Extensions Installer)?

Hi,

I get that :

Hm, i installed the plugin on my Laptop - there i can see the "database editor" tab.
On my media pc at home the other tabs are visible, just "database editor" not. I can check the version at weekend...

I have the configuration described here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...-card-scrambled-channel-problem.128583/page-3
1. Is it possible to get the scrambled flag ignored for some marked channels in data stream with your plugin?
Or at least to clear the MediaPortal Scrambled flag after scanning? I modified the tswriter.ax to get it work. But after channel scan the MP-scrambled-flags have to be cleared, a lot of work ;-)

2. While scanning i get strange channel names like that "30. ?Disney? ?Cin?emagic ?HD?"
The entry in the mru for that channel is
#EXTINF:0, 30. †Disney‡ †Cin‡emagic †HD‡
http://192.168.2.33:8001/1:0:19:6F:D:85:C00000:0:0:0:
It is also some work to edit to get clear channel names... What is wrong in my playlist?

Thank you in advance...

Sounds like a hack.

Setting the "free to air" flag is a one line SQL statement... or if you want to avoid SQL, simply export your channels using the import/export section, find/replace the required text (you can find/replace all occurrences with good text editors like NotePad++), then reimport.
In other words, it should not be a lot of work.

The channel name is read from the stream, not the playlist. So there's probably nothing wrong with your playlist... but your provider seems to have a lot of problems.

Äh, mhm, i just did what you described there;-)

With SQL Statement i would "uncheck" all scrambled channels - i will try method 2 ;-)

Ah, ok, ist not a provider, it is a receiver, so no chance...
