TOU.TV doesn't works (3 Viewers)

[georgius]

@georgius: Any comment about this bug report? I don't know much about HDS.

I have checked bug report and stream mentioned in bug report is encrypted. Good news are that they're using same encryption as used on SVT. Maybe I'm wrong, but only needed parameters should be hdcore and g (g is 12 character long, random A to Z string). Filter from OV 1.4 is capable to decrypt (better is to use from SVN - some minor fixes), but you need installed Flash Player for Internet Explorer.

I don't know if this can help, but Tou.tv does have a iOS-compatible site that streams mp4... shouldn't it be possible to use those streams instead of the Flash player?

Probably yes, but quality of these streams is possibly optimised for iOS devices (low resolution, low quality).

@georgius:

1. Starting with the Belle maman page (http://www.tou.tv/belle-maman) we find idMedia (UwKabILm2W9_ChVsNs_ztrmFUPIZsuiW).
2. Then call the API with URL which takes the idMedia
3. You should get back JSON with manifest URL as follows

   Player_srcAV_21378044.validationSuccess({"url":"http://cp143903-f.akamaihd.net/z/003/mp4/b/2011-03-22_bellemaman_0001_,500,800,1200,.mp4.csmil/manifest.f4m?hdnea=st=1357667309~exp=1357667324~acl=/z/003/mp4/b/2011-03-22_bellemaman_0001_*~hmac=3b2dd364d1e060b011ca3692cf6b4e9bcbf4438f00722287cc4e3e3459700afd","message":null,"errorCode":0,"params":[{"name":"mediaType","value":"video"},{"name":"streamType","value":"akamaiHDN2"},{"name":"tokenType","value":"flashHDNetSession"}],"bitrates":[{"bitrate":1200,"width":852,"height":480,"lines":"480p","param":null},{"bitrate":800,"width":640,"height":360,"lines":"360p","param":null},{"bitrate":500,"width":640,"height":360,"lines":"270p","param":null}]},66)

4. To get to that manifest URL, you have to use a UserAgent string, e.g., Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0, otherwise you will get access denied.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Find attached a manifest and 5 fragment files (used K-S-V AdobeHDS.php script on Mac OS X).

I hope that your working in C#. In that case use HttpUrl class and set property UserAgent. E.g.:

String returnedUrlToOV = new OnlineVideos.MPUrlSourceFilter.HttpUrl(manifestUrl) { UserAgent = "[FONT=courier new]Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0[/FONT]"  }.ToString();

Thank you, thank you. You are a genius. This part is solved.

Now onto next issue. The spinner keeps spinning and buffer stays at 0.0%. Logs attached.

Remote server returned 403 Forbidden. Probably because bad constructed URL. Can you catch format of segment - fragment URL? These URLs have on the end SegXX-FragXX part.

By the way, I can confirm from within OV that I can see the contents of manifest (used an extra debugging statement with GetWebData(url, userAgent: "blah")).

The same manifest URL is then supplied to MPUrlSourceFilter. So, access denied somewhere else within MPUrlSourceFilter?

From the K-S-V PHP script, I gathered the following (for debugging purposes).

Manifest:

Replace and try attached filter version. There is bug in filter in parsing manifest URL.

Same. Buffering stuck at 0.0%. I stopped it after 10 seconds. Attached logs.
