Starting .pls / Flv stream in "Videos" - possible? (1 Viewer)

[EncoreDK]

Hi...

Posted this earlier in´wrong section....

I've encountered a problem i cannot sove myself.

I'm using Mediaportal 0.2.3.0

I want to be able to stream from http://dr.dk/bonanza, wich is an .flv stream. I've created playlist files with a tool called bonanza scraper : http://Unormal.dk/Bonanza

I have no problems watching this stream with MediaPlayer classic, nor with VLC initiated by running the .pls file, so i guess I am on the safe side regarding codecs.

Bu I am only getting sound, and no picture inside Mediaportal? - I am beginning to think, that MediaPortal doesn't see the .pls as a videofile - mainly because I've tried to use ex. VLC as external player but it was not invoked when selected in MediaPortal. (I have added .flv as extension and, .pls for testing). The screen does'nt change either but stays on the list..

Am I doing anything wrong here?

the .pls looks like this:

[playlist]
File1=http://downol.dr.dk/download/bonanza/19-03-2008/55382_512x384x840K.flv
Title1=EM84 Fodbold, semifinale: Danmark - Spanien. 2. halvleg
Length1=-1
NumberOfEntries=1
Version=2

Just found out, that if I download an .flv file, MediaPortal's embedded player plays it just well....problem must be in the straming part, or the .pls handling.

Is it impossible to have .pls files in "list" if specified as moviefolder, and added in movie extensions?

Please point me in the right direction

FLV

Hi,

Had the same problem - the solution is very easy.

Make sure you have VLC Player installed (do NOT activate that plugin though). Then under "Movies" in MP-Configuration add ".flv" to the movie extensions-list.

Now it works like a charm

Hello,

I tried your Bonanza Scraper. I'ts a cool tool!

I'd like to be able to play PLS files as well. I tried adding PLS to the accepted list of extention in the Movies, but it only shows the waiting circle.

Any news would be perfekt.

BTW: Is it possible to get ONE PLS for every category in BonanzaScraper ?!?

Same for me in 1.1 RC2. I am only getting sound and no picture.. But if I download the .flv I can play it without any problems in MP..
But when I try a .pls playlist with a .flv url inside I only get the sound...

Are there any suggestions how to get this to work?

If I try one of the urls in WMP it allso works fine.
