As I said before, when the MediaPlayer starts it will enumerate the files and playlists.

 

If there is a stream in a playlist that doesn't respond, I can imagine that the player hangs until it responds or falls into a HTTP timeout?

Could you recommend another application for Enigma 2 that allows you to listen to audio streams?

Thanks in advance.

Streams can be played using Gstreamer the default player, so place them in a bouquet and select them, just like you select a TV channel.

Under the bonnet the Media Player does the same, it just calls the Gstreamer playbin.

 

There seems to be more wrong with the Media Player, I can't get it to automatically play the next item in the playlist, it just stops. And selecting another one doesn't start it again, I have to fiddle quite a bit before I can get the next to play (after which the issue starts all over).

 

So this does need to be looked at.

MediaPlayer should give up enigma2 .pls and instead of use .pls for internet streams, e2 .pls or .e2pls looks like this

4097:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:/tmp/Example.ts
4097:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:/tmp/Example.mp3

probably there comes the freeze

Hello and thank you for your inputs.

I'll try various solutions. The strange thing is that I haven't changed my lists compared with VU+ Ultimo. There must be something different with VU+ Duo 4K.

I'll come back to you with news. Thanks again.

Hello, I choosed this solution (to place radio streams in a bouquet). It helps a lot.

 

Now, for the future, I would have two expectations:

1) to know why MediaPlayer opening freezes the system

2) get another application capable of displaying images (many radio streams offer an image of the title broadcast)

 

Thanks again everyone.

1. We will never know until that has been properly debugged on your box and with your file(s) of streams.

 

I remain convinced that the box isn't frozen, the box is waiting for a stream to respond.

OpenPli 9.0 develop mediaplayer at plugin start gives me also an endless display spinner.
In 9.0 RC no problem.

@ WanWizard, once again thank you for being there.

As you know, I flashed and restored my box multiple times. The MediaPlayer freezes even with no content at all (completely empty - no lists).

Hello Jork, thank you! I'm glad you were able to reproduce what I'm seeing with my device (VU+ 4K Duo with OpenPli 9).

Test 9.0

[Jork]

Thank you Dimitrij!
The plugin starts normal again and working.
Was it caused by the starting map default setting in mediaplayer?
Could be that this also works for John74.

Sorry if I look stupid: where should I put the file?

In /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/MediaPlayer?

Elsewhere?

[Dimitrij]

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/MediaPlayer?

 

yes

 

 

 

Was it caused by the starting map default setting in mediaplayer?

maybe

		defaultDir = config.mediaplayer.defaultDir.getValue()
+               if not os.path.exists(defaultDir):
+	            defaultDir = None

MediaPlayer works, great, THANK YOU DIMITRIJ

 

Wish for the future: to get an application capable of displaying images (many radio streams offer an image of the title broadcast)

I can't reproduce this. It works ok on a Gbquad4k with OpenPli 9 Develop.

 If i remember i think Merlin Music Player plugin and Kodi plugin were having options to use cover-art. 

You have to keep in mind that these images are dumped on the usb disk.

Make a script to clear them when exiting kodi or MMP.

I tested it on a uClan Ustym 4 KPro, with my own develop build.

 

I can't remember having this problem before (this is a new test box, first used a HD66 and later a Qviart Dual as test box), so perhaps it is box dependent.

 

If I run Enigma in debug mode, I don't even see the player attempt to start the next MP3 when the first is finished. And also, the long standing bug that skips the first 10-15 seconds of an MP3 is also still in there somewhere.

Does the standard player have the same behavior?
