Channel plugin (Updated 12-06-23)

[SharkHunter]

Hi there, time for a new plugin from me

This time I've done a plugin that allows you to browse web tv channels (like SVTPlay here in sweden) and then play programs on the fly without searching for feeds or weird links that you need to update WEB.conf with.
I've gotten MyP2P to work as well (with sopcast and pplive).

In order to use this plugin you MUST have PMSencoder and RTMPdump. In the zip-file there are two groovy scripts that are needed to use with PMSencoder (see http://ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewtop ... =12&t=6644 for use of scripts etc.). In the zip there are 3 .ch files which is the plugin channel config. Use them as reference for creating your own.

To start the plugin dump the jar file in the plugin (as usual) add channels.path=<some path> to your PMS.conf where you dump your .ch files and then restart PMS. Once this is done you can place new .ch files in that path and new channels will be added automatically. Now your all done. You'll now find a folder "Channels" where you can browse and find the TV shows and play them direct.

The channels contained in the zip is svtplay,swedish viasat and Myp2p. I'll try and mkae more. I'll also try and be better and upload this on github this time (and update grooveshark plugin there to...)

If you are new use the SharkHunter Build to install "ALL" this for the first time (viewtopic.php?f=14&t=10854)

Thanks for that great plugin...

In case of PPLive, I get the following error in the Log-Tab of PS3MS:

Code: Select all

[win32\mencoder.exe] TRACE 12:28:17.508 Process C:\Program Files\PS3 Media Server\win32\mencoder.exe has a return code of 1! Maybe an error occured... check the log file

Could you please check it? I use Win7 32 Bit and Sony Bravia EX505.
Would it be possible to customize the directory path of the used applications 'RTMPdump', 'SopCast' and 'PPLive' ? Perhaps as path variables in PMS.conf?

[SharkHunter]

As always I don't tell you everything from start . You must modify the groovy scripts. The PPLive script should look something like

script {
profile ('PPLive') {
pattern {
protocol 'synacast'
}

action {
$HOOK = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PPLive\\PPTV\\PPLive.exe ${$URI}"
$URI = 'http://127.0.0.1:8888'
}
}
}

If you look into the debug (both PMS and PMSencoder debug log files) you would probaly see that it cannot find the PPLive .exe. My path contains a space so I need the "" on windows 7.
This printout "C:\Program" indicates that the spaces in the path where not correctly quoted.

A common path would be super talk to chocolateboy who makes the PMSencoder which is where these progam are called from...

[brotherjohn]

OK. I see. But I don't know how to quote the space correctly in the $HOOK variable. Could you please insert the correct path (with correct quoted SPACE) ?

[SharkHunter]

The script I copied in previous post is the exact script I'm using on my WIN7 server, so it should work. You'll need those "\\" as well.

[brotherjohn]

THANKS! GREAT JOB! It works

Edit:
Now I get crazy. Could you please implement that for the following ARD Mediathek? Is that possible? That would be awesome.

I've seen that to , I removed one plugin and then it worked. I'll look into it later.

[BantryRed]

Ya, just missed around with it too and removed "markasviewed" and it worked. So I dont know if you had to remove the same one?? I also have Movieinfo, shutdown and Pmsencoder in the same folder. Thanks

Hi all,

I added an updated version of the channel plugin. Minor code updates but a first (not yet 100%) working ARD channel.
There are some issues left there with thier rtmp streams (or rather thier rtmp urls) which I am to tired right now to solve.

Edit. Fetch from github https://github.com/downloads/SharkHunte ... v_plug.jar
