TOU.TV doesn't works (2 Viewers)

[corporate_gadfly]

I rolled back to a default 1.4.0.0 installation and everything is back to normal, except for Tou.tv
When selecting a clip in Tou.tv, an icon keeps on turning on screen while the message "0% cached" is being displayed but nothing happens...

Any ideas?

You mentioned, that you are windows 8. Perhaps that is the problem.

Attached are the log files when running MediaPortal in debug mode.

MPUrlSourceSplitter.log is unfortunately not included in the zip file. Any chance you could post that separately?

He can't - it seems the Filter does not register anymore correctly on Win8 - OnlineVideos.log says it couldn't find a filter by name and I'm pretty sure it's our

If you have GraphStudioNext, you can check if MP Url Source Splitter is registered:

1. run GraphStudioNext
2. choose Graph -> Insert Filter
3. in list try to find MediaPortal Url Source Splitter

If splitter is not in list, then is not registered. If it is registered, on right side you can see in File Path property, where is located. Maybe reason is only bad download of filter files. I'm attaching builds for sure.

Edit: Removed builds. Wrong version.

Managed to get it to work. A great job guys!

You have to make sure that the Adobe Flash Player plugin for Internet Explorer is installed.

If I may recommend something before making the changes "public": Would there be a way to display an error message if the plugin is not installed? Or maybe redirect to the adobe flash player page?

I had to check in the MPUrlSourceSplitter.log file to determine this... I'm sure a lot of users will get confused by this.

Thanks again guys!

Hello,

I would like to test your modifications on Windows 8 but unfortunately I'm totally lost as to what I should do...
Could you give me a step-by-step tutorial as to what I should do to install the latest version of OnlineVideos?

I'm using a plain 1.4.0.0 installation right now.

Many thanks!
P.S.: I'm using Chrome so if Internet Explorer is required to get this thing working, just let me know!

Here's a recap based on the previous posts and my personal installation, hope this helps. I'm on Windows 7 but it should work the same...



1. In Mediaportal, remove Tou.TV from your local sites.

2. Close the MediaPortal application

3. for backup purposes, make a copy of the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MPUrlSourceSplitter

4. Unzip the content of the file at post #74 in the MPUrlSourceSplittler folder.

5. Register the ActiveX component by opening a command shell. (windows-R, type "cmd.exe") and typing the following commands:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MPUrlSourceSplitter"
regsvr32 MPUrlSourceSplitter.ax

6. Open Internet explorer, and go at the following address to install the Adobe Flash Player Plugin:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

7. Launch MediaPortal

8. in OnlineVideos, add Tou.TV to your sites again. This should result in the latest version of the dll being automatically downloaded.
(You can also force an update from the Online Videos menu).

Voilà!

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MPUrlSourceSplitter"

regsvr32 MPUrlSourceSplitter.ax

You would want to do this with Administrator privileges.

Good luck

Many thanks for your replies.

Before doing anything, I did a test with my current installation. I ran the following command, with admin privileges:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MPUrlSourceSplitter"
 
regsvr32 MPUrlSourceSplitter.ax

I then received the following message:

DllReggisterServer in MPUrlSourceSplitter.ax done.

Which is way better than the error message I was getting yesterday, as reported in post #68!

I will now go ahead and test everything once more, following your indications.

P.S.: Under Windows 8, Adobe Flash is included in Internet Explorer, as reported by this message, at the address http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ :

If you are using Windows® 8, Flash Player is embedded in both Modern IE and Modern IE in Desktop Mode.

OK, so here are the results.

Good news: I was able to register MPUrlSourceSplitter.ax!
Unfortunately, I'm still getting an endless "0.0% cached" message when selecting anything in Tou.TV (but everything else works fine -- like YouTube -- which was not the case yesterday).

Could this be because I'm not using the latest DLL that IE is suppose to automatically download?
Could you attach that file here and tell me where to save it so I could test it on my PC?

Thank you very much!
