Problem playing GenericSite .asx streams (1 Viewer)

[vaz]

I have created a new Generic Site and added new channel with the following URL:
www.ontvtime.ru.

I was able to play it only once. After that error always pops up.
Here's the good log (first time):

The WM ASF Reader filter has some troubles with Internet streams. You might want to use the WMP Player (Overlay). You can do so by changing the xml:
Example:

<Site name="MusicTelevision" util="GenericSite" agecheck="false" enabled="true" [COLOR="Red"]player="WMP"[/COLOR]>

Still could not get it to work

Thanks for your quick reply and for this great plug-in!

I tried to use WMP, no effect.

Looks like some kind of security from that website (ÍÒÂ (372 Êáèò/ñ) Îíëàéí ÒÂ | Ìèð îíëàéí òåëåâèäåíèÿ | Òåëåêàíàëû è âåáêàìåðû | Online TV)
I cannot play if I try to run it directly from WMP, but it does work from their website when it's embedded with control.

It uses this script on the page:

<script type="text/javascript">


   if(navigator.cookieEnabled == false)
       alert("For watching TV you need to enable cookies.");
	   else
	   {
function setCookie (name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {
      document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
        ((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires : "") +
        ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
        ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
        ((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
}

function getCookie(name) {
	var cookie = " " + document.cookie;
	var search = " " + name + "=";
	var setStr = null;
	var offset = 0;
	var end = 0;
	if (cookie.length > 0) {
		offset = cookie.indexOf(search);
		if (offset != -1) {
			offset += search.length;
			end = cookie.indexOf(";", offset)
			if (end == -1) {
				end = cookie.length;
			}
			setStr = unescape(cookie.substring(offset, end));
		}
	}
	return(setStr);
}
var str = getCookie("tv_online_cookie");
var sttr = '<object type="application/x-oleobject" classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" TITLE="www.ontvtime.ru" width="480px" height="385px"><param name="FileName" value="'+str+'"><param name="AutoStart" value="true"><param name="stretchToFit" value="true"><param name="enableContextMenu" value="true"><param name="ShowStatusBar" value="1"><embed src="'+str+'" type="application/x-mplayer2" autostart="1" stretchtofit="1" enablecontextmenu="0" showstatusbar="1" width="480px" height="385px"></embed> </object>';
document.write(sttr);
setCookie("tv_online_cookie","");
}
</script>

But I can't figure it out how to get that str value from the cookie.
Would you be able to help me plz?
I need it for my parents. They cannot live without this channel.

thank you very much,
Victor

Then it needs the cookie for the video play request. You can look at the LiveVideoUtil class. This one needed a cookie set as well. There is some tricky things to do with the request:

// set all IE requests in one process
InternetSetOption(0, 42, null, 0);

Thanks for the tip!

I will try that,
Victor

 

[vaz]

Thanks!

It worked out fine. I'm able to play all WMP-based videos. Now, I'm facing another issue.

How do I play a flash playlist (flash-based live tv), a number of continuous .flv files?

Another words, how do I process the following embedded code.
flashvar will return the .flv files.
What videoUrl do I feed the player?

   <embed height="360" width="480" pluginspage="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  allowfullscreen="true"
 allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#ffffff" 
 flashvars="file=http://www.ontvtime.ru/stream2/tnt.ontvtime&config=http://www.ontvtime.ru/images/players/config.xml" 
 src="http://www.ontvtime.ru/images/players/ontvtime.swf"/>

or this script:

<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject("http://tvali.ge/mediaplayerpl.swf","player","560","360","7");
    s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
    s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
	s1.addVariable("width","560");
	s1.addVariable("height","360");
	s1.addVariable("file",
"tv/901_list.php?d=6085");
	s1.addVariable("displayheight","220");
    s1.addVariable("backcolor","2868ae");
	s1.addVariable("frontcolor","CCCCCC");
	s1.addVariable("lightcolor","EEEEEE");
	s1.addVariable("screencolor","000000");
	s1.addVariable('autostart','true');
 	s1.addVariable('repeat','list');
	s1.addVariable("overstretch","fit");
    s1.addVariable("controlbar","over");
    s1.addVariable("item","144");
    s1.addVariable('playlist', "right");
    s1.addVariable('playlistsize', "60");
	s1.addVariable("shuffle","false");
	s1.addVariable("autoscroll","false");
	s1.addVariable("autostart","true");
	s1.addVariable("thumbsinplaylist","true");
	s1.addVariable("titlesinplaylist","false");
	s1.addVariable("streamer","lighttpd");
	s1.write("player");
</script>

Thanks for your help,
Victor

You can check in the Southpark Util, there is also a playlist used.
You need to implement the following:

public override bool MultipleFilePlay
{
  get { return true; }
}

public override List<string> getMultipleVideoUrls(VideoInfo video)
{
  ....
}

The second one should return your urls to play.

But you cannt mix this with normal (non playlist) playback. If your util returns true the first property, the function getMultipleVideoUrls is always used instead of getUrl. So you would need to split in two utils. Do you need this functionality in one util? I'll have to check the code to make that possible.

 

[vaz]

Thanks!

I think I can have another Util class, and later on merge all channels into favorites. But this would be a good feature for the generic websites that play kind of a proxy role to multiple servers.

I like simplicity and so are my parents. Less clicks is always better.
After this website is done I'm looking at another one.
They have an archived TV for the past week. Need to add some UI controls to select date/time.
But this is for the future work I guess. So, I may bug you again

Appreciate your help again,
Victor
