MSN Movies & MyVideo Movies (1 Viewer)

[kroko]

Hi folks,

after looking a bit into MSN and MyVideo movies here is my first version.

The fullscreen is not full working right now.

The ActiveX part of the adobe flash player must be installed. (v10)
The trailer is played with the JW Player Flash Video Player using RTMP protocol.
The movie uses the player of the site with a special loader swf. ;-)

If somebody has experience on flash and can give me hand...



Regards
kroko

Why not integrate it as a new siteutil in OnlineVideos? Would be much easier and less coding for you.

Hi offbyone,

that would be really good BUT

Trailer : on MSN the railer is a rtmp stream, on MyVideo they use just some MP4s
Movie : both sites are powered by vod_box. I'm not really sure how the swf player from their site work (flash as)

Some time ago I coded a flash player based on the activex part from the adobe flash player. It would maybe work for the MP but for the main movie I need to preload another swf to set the global vars in flash to load then the swf player from their site.

So the biggest thing right now is to get the flash player somehow on the screen. This can be tricky, I know taht from part of the OSD and VLC......

btw OnlineVideos is one of my favorite plugin ;-)

That's not the biggest problem, because OnlineVideos can restream rtmp over an integrated local proxy as http. (Already does so with many sites that also provide only rtmp streams.)

Hi offbyone,

is there a way to test the rtmp proxy easy in advance ?

I know basicly what streams they use

Re: MSN Movies - Proof of concept

What do you mean with "in advance"? This feature has been in there for a long time now.

Hi offbyone,

I thought I could maybe test some streams somehow. The link for movie will called posting to

http://88.198.16.200/getstream/?content_id=59451
this
<XML totalplaytime="104" licensor="BetaFilm" content_title="Der Supercop" content_id="59451" />

It returns a asx like this

<asx version="3.0">
<entry>
<ref href="rtmpe://streams.nowtilus.tv/a3172/o29/s/59451/" />
<param name="session" value="AC41632BFA5652B1BEF6F144B5B63C5F" />
<param name="id" value="mp4:film.flv" />
<param name="s" value="1270741290" />
<param name="e" value="1270742490" />
<param name="h" value="34337cf38a5e43d69ab15ea9b94669e6" />
<param name="ip" value="89.246.23.32" />
<param name="ru" value="" />
<param name="pu" value="" />
</entry>
</asx>

The movie itself is played then like

rtmpe://streams.nowtilus.tv/a3172/o29/s/59451/mp4:film.flv?s=1270741290&e=1270742490&h=34337cf38a5e43d69ab15ea9b94669e6&ip=84.243.12.23

as much I can see in the decompiled flash.

Right now I'm using a copy of the player from their site. Of course this works, if a call the player with the correct parameter.
On MSN even the commercials are played. On MyVideo it just plays the stream directly (maybay the sandbox is blocking the commercials)

I'm still looking into the swf...

btw I attached my files on top

With that much info about the playback, it shouldn't be hard to make the rtmp stream playing with OnlineVideos. You can look at other utils that use rtmp how they create the proxy url.

Hi, would it be possible to use the playerfunction via proxy also from other plugins? e.g. storing only the link in the moviedb and use this to play the trailer in contextmenu of the local movie itself?
