Installing ffmpeg will get you the /usr/bin/ffmpeg binary yes :)

I didn't know it was a requirement for your IPTV Player.

 

Now here's what's up.

 

I know people would like to use your IPTV Player plugin, so I added "exteplayer3" and "gstplayer" as dependencies for the ServiceApp plugin.

 

Knowing ServiceApp is not relevant for IPTV Player of course, people could just install ServiceApp from the plugin browser easily and they'd get exteplayer3 automatically.

 

However when exteplayer3 is built using bitbake.. it will decide that it only depends on the ffmpeg's libraries.

Like this:

root@hd51:~# opkg depends exteplayer3
exteplayer3 depends on:
        libavcodec57 (>= 3.3)
        libavformat57 (>= 3.3)
        libavutil55 (>= 3.3)
        libc6 (>= 2.24)
        libswresample2 (>= 3.3)

These libraries are of course generated and provided by the ffmpeg package in our feeds.

 

But the 'main' ffmpeg package which contains the /usr/bin/ffmpeg binary does not get installed, because bitbake has determined it's not a requirement for exteplayer3 (or any other installed package).

 

Now my question is:

Why would people try and install third party ffmpeg ipk packages, while they could just do:

opkg update
opkg install ffmpeg

Installing third party ffmpeg ipks will of course give problems with the already installed libav libraries !

Is our ffmpeg binary not good enough for IPTV Player?

 

In order to fix this and make life easier for people who need the ffmpeg binary, I'll create a dummy package, something like:

enigma2-plugin-extensions-install-ffmpeg, which shows up in the plugin browser for easy installing the main package :)

@gorski

 

 


"ffmpeg --version" command, the command will have found nothing

 

 

Maybe you also start read: "you must install ffmpeg binary. This is obvious."

 

 

Well done, SSS. It is a minor sign of potential to eventually be able to understand other people's arguments but there it is, mercifully it happened, however tiny the sign...

gorski my friend.

 

So when using an official OpenPL 6 image one could:

1. Install ServiceApp from the plugin browser, getting you exteplayer3 and gstplayer automatically

2. Install the main ffmpeg package (which requires a manually telnet commands atm) from our feeds

opkg update
opkg install ffmpeg

3. Install IPTV Player

4. Watch illegal Movies and Series :P j/k

 

Like I said, for point 2, I'll create an option in the plugin browser, which will install ffmpeg, not requiring telnet anymore.

 

But my question remains.. why would one install a third party ffmpeg ipk instead?

e.g. an older ffmpeg working better somehow?

That is my question, too - if redundant and potentially mutually disruptive similar packages HAVE to be installed?

 

Moreover, as another coder warned me, all the necessary libs are in there, in a new image of his I tested. From what I can see both OE-A and OpenPLi images now have those libs included in their images and they are newer than SSS's ffmpeg package [which does not automatically mean they are better for the purposes of IPTV Player plugin, of course - I can not judge this one without professional help] BUT without the ffmpeg binary itself, which renders IPTV Player limited, as it can not detect it and hence can not use the provided libs that are necessary for its proper functioning, it does not pull extplayer3 and extgstplayer during the first run etc.

 

So, your idea of a dummy plugin might be good enough, I hope, with the additional measures you are proposing, which would fix the problem, from what little I can see, as an IT lay person. Because, if IPTV Player can see the ffmpeg dummy package and if it has extplayer3 and extgstplayer included with the serviceapp, which it can interact with - problem solved!

 

Thanx again to both you and SSS, as well as Athoik and others for the sterling work you're doing! :)

 

I will test the new OpenPLi 6.x when you are done.Please, advise as needed and I'll report back. ;)

4. Watch illegal Movies and Series :P j/k

 

 

According to your logic:

- https://www.youtube.com/ - contain " illegal" movies

- https://vod.tvp.pl/ - contain " illegal" movies

- https://www.pinkbike.com/ - contain " illegal" movies

- https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer - contain " illegal" movies

- https://uktvplay.uktv.co.uk/  - contain " illegal" movies

- http://player.pl/   - contain " illegal" movies

- http://www.dailymotion.com/us - contain " illegal" movies

- https://tvgry.pl/ - contain " illegal" movies

- https://www.hitbox.tv/ - contain " illegal" movies

- https://go.twitch.tv/ - contain " illegal" movies

- https://www.ted.com/ - contain " illegal" movies

- https://ororo.tv/en/channels - contain " illegal" movies

- https://vod.pl/ - contain " illegal" movies

- https://tvplayer.com/ - contain " illegal" movies

- https://www.tvnow.de/ - contain " illegal" movies

- https://www.itv.com/hub/itv - contain " illegal" movies

- https://www.liveleak.com/ - contain " illegal" movies

and so on, so on.

 

I have suggestions for you @MastaG do not talk about things about which you do  not  have  elementary knowledge.

OK? And now you should apologize each  IPTVPlayer user.

 

I am waiting.

 

Regards,

SSS

You're right, I should !

 

I just gotta be a man and apologize to each IPTVPlayer user personally.

So for everyone feeling offended, please PM me your phone number and I'll call you up personally to make up for this gross and foul statement.

 

And for you SSS, I think it's best I attend your wedding, so I can publicly apologize in front of all your guests and family :)

Then I can also sing, dance and entertain while I'm at it ^_^

@MastaG your behavior is typical for a young child.

At first you wrote about something you have no knowledge.

 

When I showed you that your post has nothing to do with facts then you do not have the courage to say sorry.

 

This is very sad that you are not first person from PLI@ Core team which show lack of competence by writing about something about which do not have knowledge.

SSS

Seriously, guys, take SSS's coding seriously. And only deal with him in serious terms. The poor man doesn't know anything else. He is a great coder and this is where it stops.

 

The best bit is: he yearns apologies but when he should give one - like a fish, thoroughly slimey...

 

Never mind, we keep ploughing on... :)

Yes there is available much more parsers for web pages. 

But I will tell you a secret, Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer can handle all of them.

 

So, if you want to thinking in the same way you should say to all users using Chrome or Firefox or Internet Explorer or other web browser that they watch illegal movies.

I think you understand this. Do you?

 

@gorski

You are talking about apologies? Really? You're a cynic. Maybe I will remind your post were you insulted me using vulgar words.

You are so cheeky that I can not found words to describe this.

uhm, not really...
comparison seems like a bit of stretch, don't you think?
anyway let's just leave it as that ;)

actually the second part of my post was more important - i.e. joke is just a joke and not the reason to feel attacked or something...

so, I hope you possibly rethink your decision to drop the support here

greetings!

If you know how IPTVPlayer works than the comparison is very adequate. 

You can compare IPTVPlayer wich is able to parse only some web service to web browser with favorite bookmarks.

 

IPTVPlayer not provide any content by it self. IPTVPlayer provide web service parsers. Chrome provie parser to any web service IPTVPlayer only to some services.

You want to say that 'bookmarks'  can be illegal?

Quite possible that in some countries bookmarks can be illegal. There are so many stupid rules forced by old UE (like this one which say that carrot it is fruit or that which say that snail it is fish - guess which country invented this :D) that it is possible.

 

The law of what country say that 'bookmarks'  can be illegal? Is there any?

Do someone know such "smart" country? :D

well, I  didn't mean 'bookmarks' literally (however browsers are shipped with no external bookmarkss, doubtfull or not)

but probably ther's some reason e.g. kodi is shipped without preinstalled plugins / links (and any greyzone ones you  can only install manually)

and no, I'm not any IP worshipper, quite a contrary, you know...

You probably know that not all  plugins in KODI works in this  way like IPTVPlayer. many plugins for KODI provide own content.

So, this comparison is not very good.

 

 


however browsers are shipped with no external bookmarks, doubtful or not

 

This is not true. For example Google provide special browser with www.youtube.com/leanback.
