SVT Play (4 Viewers)

[Ministerk]

I noticed there where pagination in "Öppet arkiv" shows with more than 18 episodes, ie "Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter". I'll try to fix this sometime this week or the next.

Hello again!

I have done some more work with the SvtPlayUtil:

• Paging of "Öppet arkiv" fixed
• Added the "Livesändningar" under the Live category to be able to watch the play exclusive live videos
• Added subtitle support. Configurable in the context menu of SVT Play, the default is not to download subtitles

Aside from the attached patch SVTPlay site definition in OnlineVideoSites.xml must be changed

If anyone notice any bugs (bound to be some, i'm not an online-videos-coding-wizard as @offbyone), do feel free to report it in this thread.

Over and out, now it's time for bed!

I have a problem when using ffdshow audio decoder with SVT Play. After a couple of seconds all audio goes only to the right channel. This happens only on SVT Play and only with ffdshow. I need to use ffdshow since I'm converting FLAC 5.1 to AC3 when playing other videos.
Has anyone seen anything like this?

If you use LAVF and in the Mixer tab setup the channel setting to match your receiver -> use ReClock as audio renderer (might work with MePo Audio Renderer as well) you can set the ReClock (or MPAR) to output AC3. Should let you get rid of FFDShow and get what you want?

Never noticed this problem. Can it be a problem with the f4m container maybe? Other sites I now uses f4m are BBC iPlayer and TV4 play. TV4 play does not work right now in OnlineVideos, although a fix is in the pipeline out in the near feature.

If you have a uk proxy or un-block.us you can check with BBC.

EDIT:
Does it work as expected with a downloaded video from SVT Play? If you remux the video does it work then? You can try with ffmpeg.
ffmpeg -i in_video.f4m -vcodec copy -acodec copy out_video.mkv;

Appreciate the work you guys put into keeping Svt Play and Online videos updated. Myself and my wife use it a lot within MP.
Big thanks,
Ola in Stockholm

FYI, I've updated SVTPlay - the live channels was broken.

 

[Ola Nilsson]

So I noticed. Thanks for updating.

Hi, I've just installed OV but can't get SVT Play to work properly. The first couple of seconds everything looks ok but after a couple of seconds the video freezes and only the audio keeps playing. Other sites like YouTube and iTunes trailer works without problems.
There is no problem when try the same shows with the SVT Play plugin in XBMC on the same PC, but since I'm using MP primarly it would nice get it working in MP also. Anyone knows what might be causing this issue?
