Web content will not stream

[chocolateboy]

Fixed in 1.5.12. Thanks again.

I tried searching, but maybe I am searching the wrong terms, or not search long enough...

Can pmsencoder stream youtube without transcoding?

I am using shark hunter build 35, but updated pmsencoder to 1.5.12 and channels to 1.56
I am running ps3 media server on a HP Microserver (a tad bit more powerful than atom cpu)
I am streaming it to Seagate FreeAgent Theater Plus (a Realtek device such as Asus OPlay)

Since FreeAgent Theater Plus should play just about any format (rmvb/mkv/mp4/h264/avc/xvid/etc), I am hoping I can just stream youtube (HD if possible) to it without transcoding using pmsencoder

I don't have any external groovy scripts
I put PMS.conf and WEB.conf to profile directory
I had one success with one of the TWiT TV feed (transcoding mind you), so it looks like general setup is OK

However, youtube (thru WEB.conf for channel plugin) never work. It shows Loading..., and then a circle with slash, and dump me back to previous screen

I am not next to my machine now, so can't really provide debug.log and pmsencoder.log right now.

However, is it possible to stream youtube without transcoding?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply chocolateboy
While it's a bummer, still appreciate your work on pmsencoder

[animefans]

OK
Here's more information

SharkHunter build 35
pmsencoder 1.5.12
Channels plugin 1.56
Playing Device is Seagate FreeAgent Theater Plus (Realtek player similar to Asus O!Play)

I can stream my own media just fine from PS3MediaPlayer to FAT+
rmvb, mp4/mkv (h264), avi (xvid)

I tried the youtube URL in chrome browser

and it work

Any hint on why this is not playing?

I am so sorry

Here's zip attachment

[chocolateboy]

Code: Select all

C:\Progra~1\PS3MED~1\extras\Python27\python.exe: can't find '__main__' module in 'C:\\Progra~1\\PS3MED~1\\extras\\bin\\youtube-dl.exe'

That's an issue with the SharkHunter Build rather than PMSEncoder, so you'll need to take it up with SharkHunter.

In the meantime, PMSEncoder's built-in handler should work for most YouTube videos. Try commenting out the youtube-dl.path setting in PMS.conf (shut down PMS first) e.g. change:

Code: Select all

youtube-dl.path=C:\\Progra~1\\PS3MED~1\\extras\\bin\\youtube-dl.exe


to:

Code: Select all

# youtube-dl.path=C:\\Progra~1\\PS3MED~1\\extras\\bin\\youtube-dl.exe


[animefans]

Oh boy
How come I didn't see the python __main__ missing error!
You sure have a sharp eye

After seeing what SharkHunter build looks like, I might just setup my own build, all the while waiting for SharkHunter to fix his

I will take out youtube-dl.path

Again, thank you very much for you assistance, and your pmsencoder work!

[animefans]

This is to confirm that taking out youtube-dl.path indeed fixed my youtube streaming problem
Now I am dealing with the slow transcode, which I don't think I can get away from it

Again, thanks for your help!
