SBS.au wont play (1 Viewer)

[EddieB]

Hi,

The SBS.au site will list programs and such, but will not play any programs. In the MPUrlSourceSplitter log I found the following error: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden when trying to access the video. Have attached the Online video log and the splitter log. Any help or advice would be great.

Thanks.

This one has been on my list for a long time now, but still no solution found for playback of SBS.au videos

Ok Thanks. I tried to get to the site via browser and the error shown in the browser is 'You don't have permission to access' to the video. Could it possibly be that we are required to us a login and password? Anyway thanks for the reply.

That could well be the case.
But apart from that, I have no means to test/debug it as I don't have an account, and content is probably (in fact, almost surely) geoblocked, I also don't have a working VPN, nor ideas (read: hints from the xbmc community) how to implement it...

Ok I understand. I can have a crac at it but I will need some guidance. Will update if i find something.....

Be my guest!
Need any pointers: don't hesitate to ask!

 

[EddieB]

Well firstly where do I find any info on accessing these streams ? Is this the right place to be discussing this ? Or do I need to raise these questions elsewhere?
Thnx

Here is fine, as long we're not crossing any legal boundaries

You could start by logging (with f.e. fiddler2) the httprequests that are done if you watch a video in the browser.
Then you would have to find which of those logged urls is the actual video, and if you can construct that url from results of previously requested http-requests...

Or browse other forums (http://stream-recorder.com, xbmc, etc) to see if they have a solution, perhaps checking if the site works in xbmc, and if so start with that source...

Ok, will have a dig around this evening, currently at work....Thanks mate.

Hi guys,
adammw111 has posted a new XBMC/Kodi plugin for SBS.

I have played with the stream builder previously and can't make heads or tails of it, but hopefully the latest XBMC stuff is of some help.
