tv3nz problems (1 Viewer)

Hi Doskabouter,

Thanks for that but there seems to be a small issue
The stuff that isnt geoblocked plays fine but anything else appears to fail

 

[doskabouter]

Ah, damn. I was kinda hoping it worked all the same. Back to the drawingboard then...

 

[iascoot]

Had a quick look and I see
non geo link:
rtmpe://vod-non-geo.mediaworks.co.nz/vod/_definst_ mp4:tv3/transfer/23082013/JABATDunedin_3
geo link:
rtmpe://vod-geo.mediaworks.co.nz/vod/_definst_ mp4:tv3/transfer/04092013/HX049281_330K.
and in the source you have coded it to the IP address for vod-non-geo (rtmpe://202.49.175.79/vod/_definst_"; // found with wireshark. )

Name: vod-non-geo.mediaworks.co.nz
Address: 202.49.175.79

Name: vod-geo.mediaworks.co.nz
Address: 202.49.175.77

I'm not getting any good results here.
Just uploaded a testversion so you can try if it works at your end.

The changes I've made are that the url is now fetched from the smil-file, instead of hardcoding the ip address.
At my end nothing is playing now (geo and non-geo), but perhaps a "real" kiwi is more lucky

Where did you get those rtmp urls? If i check in fiddler, both americas top model (geo) and the first one of 7 days (non-geo) give me the vod-geo.mediaworks.co.nz in the smil file. But that's in mediaportal. perhaps there is some cookie-juggling needed to provide me the real url, but I want to make sure the geo-ones are played properly before I venture in that direction

 

[iascoot]

yeah same result as you now, both are not working

I was using URL Snooper and that reported the different URLS for both
Cant imagine its DNS related either as im actually using Unblock US DNS Servers

The following was for The Block NZ S02E07 taking the results from URL snooper for retrieving a video from both chrome and MP

From Chrome:

GET /portals/0/video/smil1500-2.aspx?serverVar=rtmpe://vod-geo.mediaworks.co.nz/vod/_definst_&locationVar=mp4:tv3/transfer/09092013/HX049282_V2&typeVar=mp4 HTTP/1.1

Then under rtmpe://vod-geo.mediaworks.co.nz/vod/_definst_

From Mediaportal (Well the online videos app for testing):

GET /portals/0/video/smil1500-2.aspx?serverVar=rtmpe://vod-geo.mediaworks.co.nz/vod/_definst_&locationVar=mp4:tv3/transfer/09092013/HX049282_V2&typeVar=mp4 HTTP/1.1

Then under rtmpe://vod-geo.mediaworks.co.nz/vod/_definst_

Servertv3.co.nz_pool=1147447488.20480.0000; path=/

<smil>

<switch>
<video src="mp4:tv3/transfer/09092013/HX049282_V2_33

So its returning different results

Ok, that assures me it is cookie related, but I still can't figure why it wouldn't play. Rtmpdump also aborts when I try downloading it with the params that rtmpdumphelper give me.

More investigation (i.e. nag @georgius) is needed

Did you check server with RTMP stream - is it same IP?

 

[doskabouter]

No, I assumed the ip addresses you provided were from wireshark, not just a ping to the domain...
But I'll check it, and see if I (or georgius) can come up with something.

Edit: just checked, ip and domain name matches, so no tricks there

 

[doskabouter]

Did some digging with wireshark, but I only see the responses of the rtmp-servers, not the requests I (or the browser) did.
Perhaps it's because there's a VPN involved?
