BBC iPlayer

[NX3]

Firstly BBC iPlayer only works if your IP is based in the UK (or if you use some sort of VPN or masking software but thats for elsewhere).

Anyway you can get from the BBC website info on RSS feeds at :
http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

I added the following to web.conf file and started PMS. This is using my Asus O!play, see the realtek render I've posted, I've got a PS3 as well. This appears to work at first in that it brings up tv listings as I'd expect for the day and you can browse around. The problem comes when it attemps to play anything, it fails. I presume PMS can cope with transcoding flash based website e.g youtube seems to work ok and the BBC is only using flash. I'll post the error logs but hoping some others might help get this working as PMS is fast / good compared to other UPNP servers. TVersity and PlayOn both do BBC iPlayer but I'm not a fan of either and would rather run PMS only

Trace Logs, no errors as such just nothing appears on screen on the PS3.

What's wrong with using iPlayer direct from the PS3 XMB shortcut under TV?

[NX3]

You can use PMS for many other devices other that PS3 so this would bring iPlayer to those devices

This is from where I select the video to watch to the end. The RSS feeds are all working ok, PMS seems to think its going to work as correct versions of VLC etc are in place. However I get a black screen on the PS3, nothing seems to be happing, no buffering, nothing at all. The command line for VLC looks reasonable, its the corrent web address. You normally have to click on the page to play the video unlike youtube where the video just plays. I guess thats where it gets stuck, its just waiting to confirm play. This is a feature the PMS would need I guess though I know TVersity and PlayOn servers can do this and stream to a PS3.

[chocolateboy]

I'd be interested in getting iplayer on my tv via ps3 media server as well..

This thread is over 2 years old. Please don't necropost unless you have something new to add.

I tried it using pmsencoder and it does not work

If you must raise a topic in multiple places, post a link rather than spamming the forum with duplicate posts.

debug.log

As I've asked you twice before, please follow the instructions for reporting issues if you want help.

[gregd72002]

Ok, it looks like this might work using get_iplayer scripts http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer/
I was successful downloading iPlayer movies just using get_iplayer script.

My idea is to create GROOVY script for pmsencoder that will invoke get_iplayer to retrieve the movie (FLV file) and pass it over to pmsencoder for postprocessing. Does it sound reasonable?

My groovy script looks so far like this:

Code: Select all

// videofeed.Web,BBC iPlayer=http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/popular/tv
script {
    profile ('BBC iPlayer') {
        pattern {
            domain 'bbc.co.uk'
            match uri: '/iplayer/episode/(?<pid>........)/(.*)'
        }

        action {
            downloader = "/Users/me/Downloads/get_iplayer/get_iplayer --pid ${pid} --mode=flashstd --output DOWNLOADER_OUT"
        }
    }
}


pmsencoder.log when trying to play bbc movie:

Code: Select all

Why is my groovy action not being executed and the pmsencoder goes straight into transcoding?

[gregd72002]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to write my own groovy script for pmsencoder. The idea is to play an FLV movie that is downloaded using 3rd party script.
I got the downloader working but the movie does not play?

Groovy script:

Code: Select all

// videofeed.Web,BBC iPlayer=http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/popular/tv
script {
    profile ('BBC iPlayer') {
        pattern {
            match $URI: '^http://www\\.bbc\\.co\\.uk/iplayer/episode/(?<pid>........)/'
        }

        action {
            def GETIPLAYER_PATH = "/Users/me/Downloads/get_iplayer"
            $DOWNLOADER = "${GETIPLAYER_PATH}/get_iplayer --pid ${pid} --mode=flashstd --flvstreamer ${GETIPLAYER_PATH}/flvstreamer --overwrite --stream >> ${DOWNLOADER_OUT}"
        }
    }
}


When I try to play the movie I got the following debug:

I am sure that the downloader (get_iplayer) works fine because if I copy-paste the above commands into shell I can read the fifo and get my FLV file. Moreover, I can also run ffmpeg on the above fifo which writes into transcoder_out file which I can play perfectly fine using VLC.

So why this does not work within PS3 Media Server?

[chocolateboy]

I am sure that the downloader (get_iplayer) works fine because if I copy-paste the above commands into shell

The command doesn't understand the shell redirection syntax. There's no shell unless you exec it:

Code: Select all

$DOWNLOADER = [ "/bin/sh", "-c",  "/usr/bin/perl /path/to/get_iplayer ..." ]


[gregd72002]

Wow!! this is working now So BBC iPlayer is working with PS3 Media Server!

Instructions:
1) download and unpack get_iplayer from http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer/html/get_iplayer.html
2) download flvstreamer from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/flvstreamer/; save it so its name is flvstreamer into your get_iplayer folder; if you are on *nix system you might want to chmod +x ./flvstreamer
3) place bbciplayer.groovy script in pmsencoder folder (on OSX it is PS3 Media Server.app/Contents/Resources/Java/pmsencoder)
4) edit bbciplayer.groovy script and set correct path (see the content of the script for info)
5) add the following line to your WEB.conf

Code: Select all

videofeed.Web,BBC iPlayer=http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/popular/tv


bbciplayer.groovy

Code: Select all

// 05 March 2012 (Gregory Dymarek, gregd72002@gmail.com)
//
// Please verify the following variables: GETIPLAYER_PATH, SHELL and PERL
//
// videofeed.Web,BBC iPlayer=http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/popular/tv
script {
    profile ('BBC iPlayer') {
        pattern {
            match $URI: '^http://www\\.bbc\\.co\\.uk/iplayer/episode/(?<pid>........)/'
        }

        action {
            def GETIPLAYER_PATH = "/Users/me/get_iplayer" //this should point the FOLDER get_iplayer is in
            def SHELL = "/bin/sh" //your sh interpreter - for windows users this should probably say C:\windows\command\cmd.exe or something similar
            def PERL = "/usr/bin/perl" //path to perl interpreter

            $DOWNLOADER = [ "${SHELL}", "-c", "${PERL} ${GETIPLAYER_PATH}/get_iplayer --pid ${pid} --mode=flashstd --flvstreamer ${GETIPLAYER_PATH}/flvstreamer --overwrite --stream >> ${DOWNLOADER_OUT}"]
        }
    }
}


Now, you should have a BBC iPlayer menu in PS3 Media Server - just navigate and play!

Hints:
Need to change quality? - Edit bbciplayer.groovy script and search/replace 'flashstd' into one of the following: flashhd,flashvhigh,flashhigh,flashstd,flashnormal,flashlow

Troubleshooting:
run get_iplayer from your command line/shell and verify this works fine (i.e. you are able to download FLV movie)


Thanks,
Gregory Dymarek
