Web content will not stream

[pentazoil]

PS3 media server 1.53.0, Win 7 x64, Java x86 and x64 7 up 5, K-lite codec pack 0x86 and 0x64, VLC 2.01

- PS3 SHB43 - no success
- VLC 2.02 - no success
- Avisynth 2.57 and 2.58 - no success
- PMSencoder 1.6 , 1.58-b1 - no success
- Reinstalled and reseted codecs - no success
- 2 audio channels - no success
- 384kb - no success
- disabled subtiles ASS/SSA - no success
- open firewall ports - no success
- disabled antivirus - no success
- rtmpdump.exe moved to a path without space char in its string - no success
- Http v2 disabled - no success

It is so frustrating to setting this software. PS3 media server promises a very interesting way to deliver multimedia content to TV. I enumerated some of my tries to make it ok, however, no success.

WEB.conf
- videofeed - ok.
- videostream - always fail.

without PSMencoder - ok on Sony bravia EX , but no success on VLC (Network->Plug´n Play Universal).
with PSMecoder - the video stream never worked.

Bravia - > It seems that is ok, but suddenly a pause icon appears on tv screen and no video.
VLC -> Similar symptoms.

Is there a way to configure pmsencoder to stream mp4 from web without transcoding?
Either directly or through tsMuxer?

Cause direct links to youtube videos: link.mp4 are correct streamable mp4 files and should be playable and are actually playing just fine on PS3 without transcoding through Serviio.
Could you give an example of a groovy script to try that out?

The link has become obsolete, but it's possible to fetch direct links with something like:

Code: Select all

channel Test {
    folder {
        name=Test
        url=http://youtube.com/
        folder {
            matcher=<a title=\"([^\"]+)\" href=\"/watch\?v=([^&]+)&amp;
            order=name,url
            prop=auto_media
            url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
            media {
                matcher=,url=([^\\]+)\\u0026quality=([^\\]+)\\u0026
                order=url,name
                prop=http_method=get,url_unescape
            }
        }
    }
}

I do not understand what to do here. I added the JAR to my plugin fodler for pmsencoder and restarted my ps3media server. I now see PMSEncoder on my plugin list. What is the next step? how do I watch youtube on the ps3?

Hi Guys,

I am a bit new to this but I did have success with chocolateboy's web.conf entry,

There's an invalid option in infidel's WEB.conf entry. Use this instead:

Code: Select all

videostream.Web,News=Al Jazeera English,rtmpdump://rtmp2pms?-v&-r=rtmp%3A%2F%2Faljazeeraflashlivefs.fplive.net%3A1935%2Faljazeeraflashlive-live%3FvideoId%3D883816736001%26lineUpId%3D%26pubId%3D665003303001%26playerId%3D751182905001%26affiliateId%3D&-a=aljazeeraflashlive-live%3FvideoId%3D883816736001%26lineUpId%3D%26pubId%3D665003303001%26playerId%3D751182905001%26affiliateId%3D&-W=http%3A%2F%2Fadmin.brightcove.com%2Fviewer%2Fus1.25.02.02.2011-04-06164328%2FfederatedVideoUI%2FBrightcovePlayer.swf&-p=http%3A%2F%2Fenglish.aljazeera.net%2Fwatch_now%2F&-y=aljazeera_english_1%3FvideoId%3D883816736001%26lineUpId%3D%26pubId%3D665003303001%26playerId%3D751182905001%26affiliateId%3D

I can watch aljazeera on my PS3 no problem, I tried decoding how the url was put together and failed just to learn about rtmp2pms and here is my question:

the raw rtmpdump command line for

Code: Select all

 rtmpdump -r "rtmp://stream4.dmi.ae/live4" -a "live4" -f "LNX 10,1,102,64" -W "https://dashboard.longtailvideo.com/players/flvplayer.swf?file=rtmp://stream4.dmi.ae/live4/dubaione_source.flv&autostart=true&backcolor=000000&frontcolor=FFFFF&lightcolor=FC7404&displayclick=link&stretching=exactfit&fullscreen=false" -p "https://dashboard.longtailvideo.com/players/flvplayer.swf?file=rtmp://stream4.dmi.ae/live4/dubaione_source.flv&autostart=true&backcolor=000000&frontcolor=FFFFF&lightcolor=FC7404&displayclick=link&stretching=exactfit&fullscreen=false" -y "dubaione_source" -v -o dubaione_source.flv

does work on the command prompt, but if I plug that in the command section and use rtmp2pms to generate the link format to use in web.conf

Code: Select all

videostream.Web,Live News=dubai one,rtmpdump://rtmp2pms?-r=rtmp%3A%2F%2Fstream4.dmi.ae%2Flive4&-a=live4&-f=LNX&10,1,102,64&-W=https%3A%2F%2Fdashboard.longtailvideo.com%2Fplayers%2Fflvplayer.swf%3Ffile%3Drtmp%3A%2F%2Fstream4.dmi.ae%2Flive4%2Fdubaione_source.flv%26autostart%3Dtrue%26backcolor%3D000000%26frontcolor%3DFFFFF%26lightcolor%3DFC7404%26displayclick%3Dlink%26stretching%3Dexactfit%26fullscreen%3Dfalse&-p=https%3A%2F%2Fdashboard.longtailvideo.com%2Fplayers%2Fflvplayer.swf%3Ffile%3Drtmp%3A%2F%2Fstream4.dmi.ae%2Flive4%2Fdubaione_source.flv%26autostart%3Dtrue%26backcolor%3D000000%26frontcolor%3DFFFFF%26lightcolor%3DFC7404%26displayclick%3Dlink%26stretching%3Dexactfit%26fullscreen%3Dfalse&-y=dubaione_source&-v&-o=dubaione_source.flv


that doesn't work and pms.log cannot read web.conf entry above ? I tried removing the -o option and put the -v option at the beginning mimicking other entries, still nothing ?

what am I doing wrong and if somebody can show me how to build these entries from raw rtmp links on the web that would be really great and I would be thankful.

Thanks for the great effort on the live streaming through rtmp, it rocks.

[chocolateboy]

The problem is the embedded commas:

-f "LNX 10,1,102,64"

- which the old version of rtmp2pms (now called rtmp2pms.pl) doesn't handle. Unescaped, these conflict with the WEB.conf delimiters. The latest version fixes this.

Additionally, that stream doesn't work for me. It results in this error:

Code: Select all

ERROR: RTMP_HashSWF: connection lost while downloading swfurl https://dashboard.longtailvideo.com/players/flvplayer.swf?file=rtmp://stream4.dmi.ae/live4/dubaione_source.flv

It can recover on the command line by reconnecting, but that doesn't work within PMS.

Try this:

Code: Select all

videostream.Web,Live News=Dubai One,rtmpdump://rtmp2pmspl?-v&-r=rtmp%3A%2F%2Fstream4.dmi.ae%2Flive4%2Fdubaione_source.flv&-w=http%3A%2F%2Fdashboard.longtailvideo.com%2Fplayers%2Fflvplayer.swf&-p=http%3A%2F%2Fdashboard.longtailvideo.com

Hi Chocolateboy,

Ill try the new perl script and start dissecting these streams away, I really appreciate your help. Instead of keep tagging this thread with questions, I would love a simple writeup on how a rtmpdump should be pasted correctly in web.conf for PMSencoder to work properly ? Iam finding alot of sites with streams like this:

Code: Select all

rtmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw=rtmp://ajslivefs.fplive.net/ajslive-live/ajs_ar_ch01_1000?reportingKey=eventId-682627_partnerId-1346 swfUrl=http://www.en.aljazeerasport.tv/ptvFlash/unifiedplayer/aljazeera/multiformat/UnifiedPlayer.swf pageUrl=http://www.en.aljazeerasport.tv/Live/channel/plus1 live=1 swfVfy=1

I would love to get these to work, I have to find the correct rtmpdump commands and try it on the command line first, once I get a working string then I can feed it to the perl script and past into web.conf

is there another way of modifying web.conf without using the rtmp2pms.pl script ? dont get me wrong, I like it and I think it rocks, but it would be easier for me to debug if I understand all of these extra characters that it adds in the web.conf entry from the rtmpdump command.

much appreciated work, this thing really rocks, aljazeera english feed really works and the dubai one also, I can add these compilations to the thread where it lists the original ones to help others.
