It is not problem reading m3u8 file,as said it is just text file and splitting to 3 or 4 files not difficult,but still do not understand what to replace and will work,i do not remember what we have done with nightflyers addon
But will look closely again to the m3u8 files again but still confused about the structure of m3u8 file as info button not always give me mp4 files or all files have same name

[mick80]

Sorry, my bad, I should have made myself more clear. What I meant was that all those m3u8 links in RaiReplay have always the same structure.

So, replacing the first part of those links (from http to/i/) with:

http://creativemedia1.rai.it/
http://creativemedia2.rai.it/
http://creativemedia3.rai.it/
http://creativemedia4.rai.it/ 

and the final part (from _,1800 to .m3u8) with _1800.mp4 would give us four links, among which one or two will always work as mp4 files. I understand it's not the best solution but it would work, I guess

[mfaraj57]

ok,get it now,i tested and extracted m3u8 link and replaced as you said ,only first two links are working as mp4 and 3 and 4 gave errors

so will edit the plugin to give two mp4 links and one m3u8 to select

[mick80]

Okay, thanks    But I suppose it should be creativemedia1 through creativemedia4, because some shows use creativemdia1 and creativemdia2, others creativemdia1 and creativemdia3, sometimes others just creativemedia4. I'm not sure if these servers are randomly selected for each show or it depends on the type of show, I never cared to find that out, but I've been downloading stuff of that site for years, and I know there's four servers for mp4 files.

[mfaraj57]

ok,4 mp4 links generated from the m3u8 link,two of the four are only working,sometimes 1 and 2 and for others 3,4,

not good to put invalid link,so correlate m3u8 name with wich links are active

now updated version in server test it

                    if '2uscreativem1' in line or '2uscreativem2' in line:#if m3u8link contains one of these strings then link1 andlink2 are active                            
                            for i in range(1,3):                 
                                final_mp4_link='http://creativemedia'+str(i)+'.rai.it/'+var_link+'_1800.mp4'
                                addDir("mp4_link "+str(i),final_mp4_link,3,'play.png','',1,link=True)

                    else:                            
                            for i in range(3,5):                 
                                final_mp4_link='http://creativemedia'+str(i)+'.rai.it/'+var_link+'_1800.mp4'
                                addDir("mp4_link "+str(i),final_mp4_link,3,'play.png','',1,link=True)

I understand it's not good to include invalid links, but what about having the m3u8 link as the default stream which starts after hitting okay and those four mp4 links as alternatives that are shown when hitting the arrow keys?

[mfaraj57]

In the addon now in the server,three links are listed one for m3u8 as third link and two for only working mp4 either 1 or 2  or 2 or 3

[mfaraj57]

This is fianlly what i get

Two links m3u8 one 512 and one 900 resolution and two mp4

 

[mick80]

two for only working mp4 either 1 or 2  or 2 or 3

Just tested it, working good, I like the way it's set up now Still, I'd like to better understand what you did there, as I'm constantly trying to pick your brain   What's the meaning of range here?

                            for i in range(1,3):                 
                                final_mp4_link='http://creativemedia'+str(i)+'.rai.it/'+var_link+'_1800.mp4'
                                addDir("mp4_link "+str(i),final_mp4_link,3,'play.png','',1,link=True)

                    else:                            
                            for i in range(3,5):                 
                                final_mp4_link='http://creativemedia'+str(i)+'.rai.it/'+var_link+'_1800.mp4'
                                addDir("mp4_link "+str(i),final_mp4_link,3,'play.png','',1,link=True)

You say it's either 1 or 2  or 2 or 3, did i get that right? I mean, "range(1,3)" and "range(3,5)", does that mean that the addon gets either creativemedia1 and creativemedia2 or creativemedia2 and creativemedia3? What I'm saying is, what is it that determines the value of str(i), and how does the addon discriminate?

 

Anyway, thanks again for putting up with my crazy ideas Just one more question, would there be any way at all to preserve the original chronological order since events are currently displayed randomly? If not, I guess it's no big deal after all.

 

BTW you might wanna restore plugin.video.raitv_1.0.16 to its previous real version on the server, as it's currently one of the early test versions for RaiReplay.

[mfaraj57]

after replacing first part and last part

http://creativemedia4.rai.it/podcastmhp_world/replaytv_world/raiuno_world/sera_world/7594997_1800.mp4

and just find that if  strings http://2uscreativem1  or http://2uscreativem2 are present in link before replacement then

the created mp4 links 1 and 2 will work and the rest are invalid, if http://2uscreativem3  or http://2uscreativem4  in originallink then the created mp4 links 3 and 4 will work and the rest are invalid

difficult to sort items because presented to tsmedia as coming from source and no simple solution from the addon itself,unless make changes to internal tsmedia code.

[mick80]

Cool, thanks for the explanation

Don't worry about the items' order then. I was just curious, but it's not a big issue anyway.

[mick80]

Hey mfaraj57, a bunch of questions for you.

Any chance you figured out what's going on with 1channel? Like I said a few weeks ago, it no longer displays all the items for long-running shows. For instance, check out Saturday night live. The addon shows just 19 seasons out of 42 available.

Also, live channels are still not working in USTVnow. There's a new version available (14.2.8, see attachment) which was released a few days ago. I tried getting it to work in TSmedia, but no luck.

Finally, I see there's now the openload resolver from streamondemand, but I just checked a few links and none of them worked. How come? Still a work in progress?

One more thing I just noticed, I guess it's a bug... when returning to the playlist after a video ends or gets stopped, it goes all the way back to the very first item in that playlist. It happens in every addon including YouTube, and it's quite annoying because it forces you to start over from the top, and that's a drag, especially when going through huge playlists.

[mfaraj57]

1channel problem solved and will push update today,it was encoding problem,when plugin faced unicode chafacters exit without completing seasons.
Regarding playlists,i noticed something like that but didnit give attention as may be incidental but nice you confirm that to me to fix.
Will check usatvnow today as i remember need some editing.

Edited by mfaraj57, 19 September 2017 - 10:19.

[mick80]

1channel 1.0.9 fixed the issue I described a few days ago. And the playlist bug is also gone. Thanks.

On the other hand, is openload still on the fritz? I tried several links last night in 1channel as well as others I added to userm3u, they were all valid links, but none of them worked in TSmedia. It's a huge problem when openload doesn't work for so long    Also, how come the download window doesn't show the file size anymore? That was useful, any chance you could restore that?

[mfaraj57]

Regarding openload,it is also nightmare not because 1channel  only but in my arabic forum a lot of pressure because most of arabic addons depend on openload.

decrypting openlaod by myself it is too complicated for me so i depend on external sources as well as need frequently updating

openload updated from the server i gave above but the strange thing in the morning is working with me in the evening nothing work.

For urlresolver i found this link for updated urlresolver servers and will use it,but openload to work need pairing in from this link  https://olpair.com/  and working only for 4hrs.and this applicable also to kodi

my plan to add both if peliserver openload is not working then the code direct the user to urlresolver to do pairing .

Regarding download size, nothing removed but may be hidden as effect of some skins ,but will check

[mick80]

Ok, thanks. Just so you know, I haven't changed the skin in months, though, and never had any problems in TSmedia 11.

As for openload, keep us posted if/when you find a fix.

[mick80]

Here's what I see now, just the progress bar and the percentage, but no file size.
