OE-Alliance OnDemand player

[RuberDuck]

Here is a sneak preview of the word done so far, please bear in mind that this is still WIP ( work in progress ) and it is far from finished, but it should give you a idea of where things are going with the project.

you can keep up with developments via the GIT here

https://github.com/oe-alliance/oe-alliance-plugins/tree/master/OnDemand

extract the following archive and FTP the OnDemand folder to

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/


then issue the following command via a telnet session.


init 4 && opkg install python-lxml python-beautifulsoup python-dnspython && init 3

This plugin will only work with the ViX image at present.

Fix for 3player ( strait off the telly ).

extract the following archive and FTP the threeplayer.py file to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OnDemand/ overwriting the file already there. a reboot is required for the fix to take hold.

[dell_xps]

Some info on these plugins would be nice ?
:-)

[RuberDuck]

Try it and find out !!.

if you look at the GIT i linked to you will see exactly what this plugin is about.

[Smurf786]

I followed the instructions unzipped the file copied OnDemand folder to the location and logged into putty via telnet.
Logged in username as root and pasted the command and press enter.
The box froze for a while and didn't return so had to power off and reboot?

Once into plugins said some plugins were not installed have i done something wrong?

Thanks

Box is an original Vu+ Solo2 running vix 3.0?

[DOUGALMCD]

The latest on demand file is 10/03/2013 maybe RD could post it for others.

[lincsat]

Be aware that the standard OD player is currently not working on Blackhole 2.0.1. There are some modded files on the BH forum.

[DOUGALMCD]

I see it should be available for download on vix image.

04.02.2013
-[onDemand] A complete rewrite of the threeplayer.py plugin
-A total rewrite of the threeplayer.py file to bring it in line with the format of the other onDemand plugins. New method to parse the html using lxml so a new dependancy for this to be installed also.
-The plugin still needs work for the findPlayUrl function, this is very slow but I could not figure out a quicker way to get this to run.
-[onDemand] threeplayer.py tidyup
-Some of the code vs the Git became out of line so tidyup. Also, existing import "from . import _" caused Import Error so removed.
-[OnDemand] fix translation code. this import IS required.
-[onDemand] Fix Tabing issues
-Tidy up the code as I had lots of tabbing issues. Also, only call findPlayUrl for the Section "Straight off the Telly" as we can determine the mp4 url for the other sections by using the icon url.
-[onDemand] Add Icons
-[onDemand] Remove thumbs.db
-[onDemand] Added judge's update for plugin.py
-[onDemand] Fix threeplayer.py skipping shows
-When pulling the media data I was looking for div's that had and id = "gridshow" instead of an id containing "gridshow". This resulted in every 5th show getting dropped (Good spot Sean)
-Also, putting in some of Seans code to remove the call to BeautifulSoup in the function findPlayUrl so this should help speed up getting the stream going.
-[OnDemand] cleanup and fixed line endings (now LF (Linux) instead of CRLF (windows)).

22.02.2013
-[OnDemand] threeplayer.py fix Straight Stream
-The html that was being returned for the Striahgt off the Telly streams had changed so I needed to change the findPlayUrl function to retrieve the mp4 url.

-Also added a few MessageBox popup's to display an error if this happens in future.

[RuberDuck]

OnDemand can now be added to the new 2.0.2 BH images with the following Telnet command as all dependencies are now within their feeds.

init 4 && opkg update && opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand && init 3

please note i'm not sure if this is the very latest version with ABC iview included as i have not tested it yet.

[dougm1970]

my rte player on ondemand doesnt play....just freezes.....i see this a LOT over and over again in the log....what does it mean ??

gst_element_query_position failed in getPlayPosition

also...to explain more...i can get the menu's and listings of the videos on rte player up fine...it is only when it tries to play them...the player is stuck on 0.00 and doesn't play anything...and pressing stop gives the vix logo spinning and it takes around 7-8 minutes to go back to the previous screen...the listing of videos on rte player.

the rest of the ondeman plugin is fine...bbc iplayer, tv3 player etc..no issues.

also other streaming plugins like icefilms have no issue

The version loaded from the feed did not have ABC iview but the download from the GIT is now compatible with BH2.0.2, so just extract the files from the archive and FTP into the appropriate folder then restart enigma.

Any news of when they will get past the Geolock for ABC?
