SVT Play plugin (Swedish TV) (4 Viewers)

[MrMad]

This plugin browses the SVT Play site and lets the user select a stream to play.

Some videos are only available in Flash format. Therefore you need to do the following to get most things working:
Install FLV splitter
Install FFDSHOW and make sure it is enabled for FLV.

Latest changes:

• 09 dec 08:
  Fixed: Reading EVR setting correctly (which was apparently changed in RC4).
• 06 dec 08:
  Fixed: When a streaming Flash video is found, plugin will try to find a Windows Media video instead.
• 30 nov 08:
  Fixed: ASX files which do not end with .asx should now work.
  Fixed: Added support for EVR.
  Fixed: Better error messages when video can not be played.
• 12 dec 07:
  Fixed: Trying to play Flash videos. You need player/codec for this to work (flv splitter).
  Fixed: Removed some unnecessary printouts to log.
  Fixed: Using g_Player.PlayAudioStream(url, true) as proposed.
• 05 dec 07:
  Fixed: Made some code changes because SvtPlay changed XML format.
  Fixed: Since some firewalls are blocking mms, http is now used to retrieve the videos.
  Fixed: Thumbnail exception hopefully solved
• 21 nov 07:
  Added the source code for the ones who want it.
• 21 oct 07:
  Fixed: Refresh when changing between view modes.
  New: Latest news, sports and weather buttons
• 03 oct 07:
  Fixed: Some minor errors, can't remember right now.
  New: Added thumbnail views (big and small icons)
• 30 sep 07:
  New: Changed logo to hover_svtplay.png
  Fixed: Extracting .wmv file location from .asx file since .asx was not possible for me to play with WMR9 enabled.
  Fixed: Dates in combination with name of program now works.
• 29 sep 07:
  New: Support for VMR9 added. Doesn't work for me, but hopefully for someone else.
• 27 sep 07:
  Fixed: Packat & Klart should now show correctly.
  New: Added Replicant and Project Mayhem 3 skins.
• 26 sep 07:
  Fixed: Aktuellt and Rapport should now be working.
  New: Plugin is enabled by default.
  New: "Previous" takes you back one level. (Can't exit before you get to top level though).
  New: After watching a video, last "directory"is shown.
  New: Directories are cached during session. (Should probably add some Refresh function later).
• 24 sep 07:
  Fixed: XML was showing in some video titles.
  Fixed: Video was not in fullscreen.
• 23 sep 07:
  Major changes in parsing because of SVT changes in XML.

Improvement suggestions:

• Image headings.
• Favorites/Bookmarks
• Last watched list
• RealMedia support. Will probably not happen if no support is added to Windows Media Player

I'll look into the problem with the Stop button.
The missing OSD is a problem with most streaming video plugins at the moment. I hope there will be some progress on this. https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/vmr9_and_stream_video_problems-t24942.html
