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

[tmknight]

Cheers for the second pair of eyes, infidel. I'm much closer and now getting the xbmc addon and subdirectories on my Bravia, just can't play anything - anyone have any experience with this Hulu plugin: http://gitorious.org/xbmc-hulu/pages/Home
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=45889

Cheers in advance

[infidel]

anyone have any experience with this Hulu plugin

Try the version from the bluecop repo, which is up to date. As previously stated, it's much easier to just install xbmc somewhere else and manage the repos and addons inside xbmc: dependencies and updates will be installed automatically and you have a gui interface to the settings. Once everything is running smoothly copy '~/.xbmc' to your headless setup.

If you prefer to do it all by hand:

• unzip the addon to '~/.xbmc/addons'.
• open up 'addon.xml' and find and install the dependencies: e.g. for the bluecop Hulu addon

  Code: Select all

    <requires>
    <import addon="xbmc.python" version="1.0"/>
    <import addon="script.module.beautifulsoup" version="3.0.8"/>
    <import addon="script.module.cryptopy" version="1.2.6"/>
  </requires>


  (Jumpy provides 'xbmc.python', you will need to install script.module.beautifulsoup and script.module.cryptopy in your addons folder)
• open up 'resources/settings.xml' and edit it to reflect your preferences.

but this is definitely the hard way to go about it .

Done and done, thanks for the quick response, infidel. I was heading down that path but was cherry-picking, full copy (using vm with XBMC) has me oh-so-much-closer. Now can play a commercial, but not the actual video. I've tried a few other settings per XBMC forum, but no joy. I can play the following video via XBMC on my vm, but no joy via PS3MS; here's an example of the debug.log:

I'e tried mplayer to no improvement. Seems to be working otherwise as I can "logon" and see my subscriptions/favorites, just not able to play the core video.

Current config: Python 2.7.2+, latest py4j, jre 6u30, SB57, ubuntu kernel 3.2.0.7

Thoughts?

Hi all, back again .

I already uninstalled the previous version of PMS so I don't think I have this issue.

I just tested SHB34 and couldn't reproduce your problem. Can you attach debug.log+jumpy.log for both a good run (right after installing SHB) and a bad run (after restarting PMS-SHB). It's hard to tell what's going on without logs.
Here are the logs for bad run. will post good run in little bit

@ tmknight:

It looks like you don't have rtmpdump. Jumpy translates rtmp links to rtmpdump://rtmp2pms? pseudo-protocol for pmsencoder, which should launch rtmpdump as downloader and ffmpeg as transcoder:

BTW rtmpdump needs to be patched for current hulu (and mtvnservices, e.g comedycentral) rtmp streams to work:

Code: Select all

diff --git a/librtmp/rtmp.c b/librtmp/rtmp.c
index 5311a8a..79fefae 100644
--- a/librtmp/rtmp.c
+++ b/librtmp/rtmp.c

-      if (packet->m_nBodySize > 2 && packet->m_body[2] > 0x01)

You can do this by hand, just change '0x01' to '0x02' as shown in librtmp/rtmp.c after cloning the repo. (build instructions are in the README, very straightforward).

Here are the logs for bad run. will post good run in little bit

Both sets of logs ('good' and 'bad') show the veetle folder being browsed under jumpy, and the 'good' set shows a veetle stream being opened. I thought you said the problem was that you can only see jumpy once after installing SHB and then it disappears after a restart??? Please clarify what the issue is.

PS also please put all the logs into one zip file next time, it helps minimize the superfluous posts and keeps the thread concise and readable for others.

Yes that's what the issue is I guess the bad log has info carried from the fresh installation and that's why it shows. Can I delete the content of these files on a second run that way it wont carry logs from previous session ?
PS: when I reinstalled SHB I don't delete the previous one it kinda overwrite it.

Interesting, I do have rtmpdump, I guess though unpatched. I'll have a go at patching.

Thanks for your help thus far!

[infidel]

I guess the bad log has info carried from the fresh installation

The logs get overwritten each time you start PMS, so there shouldn't be any carryover. Both your debug.logs open with:

[main] TRACE 18:16:44.147 error killing old proc java.io.FileNotFoundException: pms.pid (The system cannot find the file specified)

which suggests that maybe there's something wrong with the installation.

PS: when I reinstalled SHB I don't delete the previous one it kinda overwrite it.

Kinda wish you would have mentioned this sooner . Uninstall, then delete or rename your PMS-SHB folder and do a completely fresh install and see if that helps.
