My PodCasts (2 Viewers)

I have the same issue. Don't think plugin works well under RC3

MP 0.2.3.0

I just put out a new version of the plugin for 0.2.3.0. Please give it a try if you are having problems.

You can get it from:

http://projects.c3o.com/MediaPortal/0.2.3.0.zip

It includes custom files for "SimpleMP Beta 4" skin.

I am trying to play the video podcast at motogp.com, but the logfile tells me that audioplayer is used and mediaportal gives me a message that the stream cannot be played. Did cleanup the cache of mediaplayer and internetexplorer, but no luck.

Any suggestions?

If I download the m4v file from motogp.com it plays fine in windows mediaplayer (using haali media splitter), so codecs should be fine.

Thanks in advance

I have the problem that the playback stops after a few seconds...
Also, it gives me audio but with a black screen for video podcasts (NASA).

Anyone with the same problem? Or anyone with a solution here?

Hi,
I looked into the sources of MyPodCasts and it tests the url-extentions to decide between video or audio stream. Is anybody able to fill in the two lines below into the if statement and compile the plugin again?

Thanks

||
url.ToLower().Contains(".mp4") ||
url.ToLower().Contains(".m4v")

Code snipped from GUIPodCasts.cs:

if (url != null && url.Length > 0)
{
if (url.ToLower().Contains(".avi") ||
url.ToLower().Contains(".mpeg") ||
url.ToLower().Contains(".mov") ||
url.ToLower().Contains(".wmv") ||
url.ToLower().Contains(".divx") ||
url.ToLower().Contains(".mpg"))
{
GUIWindowManager.ActivateWindow((int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_VIDEO);


if (g_Player.Play(url))
{
GUIGraphicsContext.IsFullScreenVideo = true;
GUIWindowManager.ActivateWindow((int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_VIDEO);
g_Player.FullScreen = true;
}
}
else
{
g_Player.PlayAudioStream(url);
}

Anyone capable of doing janno request? Can't wait to get myPodcast running on m4v streams...

I haven't tested, because I actually don't use this plugin, but here are recompiled dll's for 0.2.3 with those two lines added: here

Hi Moiristo,

Thanks for the quick response. Just tried a motogp m4v file but it gives me no luck. Here is some debug info from the log file:

It looks like it still uses audioplayer?

I got your videopodcast working on my machine:

http://www.motogp.com/xml/en/sindication/podcast_video.xml

I compiled the podcast plugin on my self, he he. Please try the attachement.

You also need an external player to play these kind of files. I use the FLVPlayer.dll and VideoLAN.dll.

PS.: I compiled it against the latest svn's.

Hi Janno,

Thanks for the compiled files. I will try them tonight to see if I can get it work too.
