Playing RayV TV Channels (1 Viewer)

Doron · May 28, 2010

First I want to thank you for a wonderful plugin.

I began adding many channels that I like to my list, but I encountered a getting popular format for TV channels that is not supported.
I am taking about RayV.
I actually do not know if they provide a direct access to their stream.
Anyway, here are some details:

Examples of sites using it:
RayV-watch-start channel
Welcome ? FoxSoccer.tv

The following is a simple html code which plays a channel. It first requires installing the software: Download the RayV Viewer

Code:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<object id="RayVActiveXCtrl"
classid="CLSID:3B1E1AB9-98C2-4B7E-AE01-59C84302BBDB"
width="800"
height="600">
		<param name="ChannelID" value="tv_eretz"/>
		<param name="SessionActive" value="true"/>
<embed type="application/x-rayv-plugin"
width=800 height=600 
ChannelID="tv_eretz" 
SessionActive="true"

/>
</object>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Some more information is here:

I think that you have to find the actual filename of the (probably) flv which is played. This html just embeds a flash player which plays the requested file.
Most of the time there are references to that file in the html, near the references to the player.

Good luck!

Thanks.
AFAIU the player does not use a conventional way to access the stream. The embedded player is a dedicated RayV player.
Sniffers usually show the stream being played. But in this case (of the example above), this are the only things I get by the sniffer:

Non of the URLs seem to be useful.

Well, when I open Welcome ? FoxSoccer.tv in a txt-viewer and search for "player" then I find that it is rtmp-stream, so it doesn't show in url-grabbers.
Don't know if that one is directly playable in mediaportal (some of them will, and some of them won't) but it seems to me that you have to get working with the regexes and see if you can get those rtmp links out of it.

Usually there is no such code. The example code I wrote is enough for playing a channel.
However, maybe on that page they have wrote it as an alternative. Maybe when the RayV player is not installed.
So it might indeed be a lead. I'll find the time to investigate this some more.

What I found could indeed be a fallback. I didn't install that player (cos I want to keep my dev-machine clean) but I did see the video.
