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

Ok, here are the new logs.
I did:
- streamed "Das Erste HD " with vlc
- in plugin database Editor
checked "Das Erste HD" -> green
checked "ZDF HD" -> red

- in channel list tried preview
"Das Erste HD" works
"ZDF HD" does not (no PMT found)

- with vlc streamed "ZDF HD"
- in plugin database Editor
checked "Das Erste HD" -> now red
checked "ZDF HD" -> now green

- in channel list tried preview
"Das Erste HD" now does not work (no PMT)
"ZDF HD" also not works - strange. It shows "channel scrambled"

(By the way - wasn't there a possibility to mark channels unscrambled in database Editor of the plugin? I can not found anymore...)

- in channel list tried preview
"Das Erste HD" works
"ZDF HD" does not (no PMT found)

As I can see from logs, the VLC server doesn't sent data - to be clear it sends 28 bytes of data and closes connection.

- with vlc streamed "ZDF HD"
- in plugin database Editor
checked "Das Erste HD" -> now red
checked "ZDF HD" -> now green

- in channel list tried preview
"Das Erste HD" now does not work (no PMT)
"ZDF HD" also not works - strange. It shows "channel scrambled"

It seems that there is some TV server or stream problem.

(By the way - wasn't there a possibility to mark channels unscrambled in database Editor of the plugin? I can not found anymore...)

It seems that wrong TV server plugin version is in 2.1.13.5650 filter version. Filter updated to 2.1.14.5650 with correct TV server plugin.

Now update filter to 2.1.14.5650 and clean up all logs. After that try in TV server configuration in filter plugin to test:

For each tested channel set first DumpProtocolInputData and DumpProtocolOutputData to True (see attached image). The changes don't have to be stored into database. In such case filters dump input and output protocol data to dump files.

After that try:

1. stream "Das Erste HD" with VLC
   
2. in plugin Database editor
   
   1. check "Das Erste HD" - it have to be green (try several times)
   2. check "ZDF HD"

1. stream "ZDF HD" with VLC
   
2. in plugin Database editor
   
   1. check "ZDF HD" - it have to be green (try several times)
      
   2. check "Das Erste HD"

After tests pack everything in TV server log folder (including dump files). You can exclude big dump files (e.g. bigger than 1 MB).

I don't have good news for you. It seems that problem is with remote server. The first url in log (http://192.168.2.33:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0 was loaded without problem. Second one (http://192.168.2.33:8001/1:0:19:2B66:3F3:1:C00000:0:0:0 is more problematic. Remote server replied on request with 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK' (this is good) and content of response should have stream. But in content is only 'HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request'.

Thank you for checking!
Do you have an idea what the difference of MP and VLC calling that link could be?

I don't know. Of course, VLC communication can be recorded with Wireshark tool. Especially changing url case is most interesting.

Now i was able to recortd the Network traffic.
I did:
1. tune to "Das Erste" with VLC -> works
2. tune to "Das Erste" with MP -> works
3. tune to "ZDF" with MP -> "no PMT" -> WireShark-file "MP-ZDF-NoPMT.cap" Row 19

4, tune to "ZDF" with VLC -> works -> WireShark-file "Vlc-ZDF-geht.cap" Row 44

5. tune to ZDF with MP -> works MP-ZDF-geht.cap

The only difference i can see is that at VLC Frame there is a Host and User Agent. But i have not really a plan of HTTP protocoll :-(
in
Does that help?

I don't think that User-Agent is the cause of problem, because sometimes it works without User-Agent. But you can try to set user agent in TV server plugin, just find in HTTP section UserAgent parameter and set it to "VLC/2.1.5 LibVLC/2.1.5". Maybe it will help, but I don't think so.
