Jumpy: Jump into Python (and onto XBMC) Updated 22 Sep 2012

[infidel]

Apologies for the delay, I'm away on a trip.

@tmknight: ESPN3 from the bluecop repo works fine for me both on linux and win32. Two things I noticed with reference to it working in xbmc but not in jumpy:

• make sure the subfolder userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.espn3/ exists under your xbmc user folder, otherwise you'll get a 'no such directory' error and the addon will bail out.
• check pmsencoder.log to make sure the built-in 'rtmpdump://' psuedo-protocol isn't being overridden. I know you've already done this but I mention it here just to be complete.

@glenrocks: I'll post my own patched win32 build of rtmpdump for you to try when I get back on Thursday.

[glenrocks]

Sure..no worries 'n thanks IN...enjoy your trip!!

[infidel]

Here's a win32 build of the current rtmpdump source with the SWFVerification Type 2 patch applied.

Thanks IN. I tried couple of plugins and they work great.

Problem plugin:
1) Hulu: Unfortunately, I am getting strange new error now.. ImportError: No module named xbmcvfs...Any clues? I may have upgraded Hulu plugin (now 3.1.5) or updated XBMC library as it worked last time.

2)Espn: Its erroring out too.. xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 13, column 27

Path of XBMC seems okay but not sure what changed on XBMC Eden.. Both Plugins do work on XBMC though...Let me attach jumpy debug too.

Thanks in advance..hav a good weekend.

Let me attach jumpy debug too

Thanks, Infidel, I have the espn3 folder is in the correct place and am able to browse content and am presented with "item" to play. It begins to load, but then quits without any output on TV (no errors). jumpy.log and debug.log attached for attempt to play "Maria Sharapova vs. Victoria Azarenka (Women's Final)" under 10 day replay (ALL) [randomly selected that stream, but confirmed this plays on web browser and in XBMC].

Any thoughts would be appreciated; HULU is working great!

Cheers!

FYI, Hulu plugin got fixed with the latest update from Bluecop. One down, ESPN to go...same expatError as in attached jumpy log earlier!
Enjoy Tennis..Nadal better wins..

[tmknight]

Is it possible there is an XBMC config that needs to be changed? I'm using the default settings - maybe Infidel you have changed something there?

[infidel]

not sure what changed on XBMC Eden..

One down, ESPN to go...same expatError

This is probably an incompatibility error, since I haven't made the adjustments for the Eden (v11) API changes yet. I don't get this error on Dharma (v10), so for the moment try reverting xbmc (...and thank you for your patience ).

jumpy.log and debug.log attached for attempt to play "Maria Sharapova vs. Victoria Azarenka (Women's Final)"

Logs show that rtmpdump is failing (this same stream plays fine on my linux setup). Were you successful in patching/building current rtmpdump from git? If not this may help:

Code: Select all

# install ssl headers
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
# build for linux
make SYS=posix


btw, jumpy.log includes a 'test cmd' for every rtmp link:

test cmd: rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp88998.edgefcs.net/ondemand/?auth=da.c...

which you can paste into a terminal to test your rtmpdump. If it's working the stream will dump into the terminal and you can ctrl-c to bail out (or you pipe the stream to mplayer by adding 'I mplayer -' to the end of the command). Keep in mind that each ESPN url seems to be good for one try only, so don't press the 'Item' link on the xmb before opening up jumpy.log and copying the test cmd). If you want to see detailed debug info add '-z' to the rtmpdump command. HTH .

Thanks, I did patch rtmpdump. The test results in:

No improvement if I specify -o /var/tmp/espn.mpg

I'm also using Eden, think this may have something to do with it? Will try again with stable version.

Cheers!
