OnlineVideos 1.6.1.0 [2013/05/01] (4 Viewers)

[Quarter]

I now removed the Full Update and the Refresh button from that hidden menu. Refresh will now automatically happen on the fly when you change the filter or sort option.
This also means: all other Skins must be updated when 1.2 is released.

Thank you

Hi doskabouter,

I'm afraid that I only got Bloomberg to come up once this evening out of about a dozen attempts. I've attached logs. Could you please take a peek?

 

[doskabouter]

That's truly odd, if you got it working at least once, all structures and parameters are good, and I'm a bit at loss as to why your other attempts are failing. Do you have all time-out values of the onlinevideos plugin itself still at default values? Or perhaps it's due to slow internet (not sure, just guessing away), or has the mpurlsourcesplitter improved recently on that point, or something else I can't figure right now?...

All I can say, out of the 3 or 4 times I tried it here it always started playing :sorry:

No problem doskabouter, at least this means that it "should" be working and I have to try to figure out what else may be going on.
I have a very good Internet connection, but I'm beginning to suspect my codecs. I notice that the sites that your fix got working for me have audio that is very badly out of synch with the video.
I've got the CCCP codec pack installed and I'm wondering if that may not be such a good thing. Do you have any codec packs that you would recommend?

 

[doskabouter]

I'd recommend lavf

 

[GJC]

I installed the LAV filters that came as an option with OV. Are you referring to those codecs? I guess I just have to go into MP setup | Codec Configuration and enable those codecs in the drop-down boxes?

 

[doskabouter]

That's indeed the one I meant. Don't exactly know how onlinevideos gets the correct codecs, my guess would be that the mpurlsourcesplitter arranges for that, and that (again, guessed) would be based on merits. Perhaps offbyone can answer this?

 

[GJC]

I know that there is an option to let MP choose the codec, but there is a big warning right beside the checkbox stating that I need to understand the merits of DirectX or something like that.

 

[doskabouter]

As I said, i'm not sure that onlinevideos is using that info to get the codecs to play the video...

 

[GJC]

offbyone, when you get a chance, can you please comment on this?
