4OD (UK only) - Web Resource

[Xmantium]

Also doesn't your PS3 and possible your TV natively do 4OD and Iplayer?

My PS3 is jailbroken so can't go online. I've seen 4oD my Xbox 360 and iPad but seems to be much lower res compared to what Serviio produces, and the most annoying is the amount of adverts you get.

IPlayer app on Bravia is sluggish to watch a programme and it's low res even if you choose "high quality". With Serviio the video quality is so crisp I just wish there was more content than the rss feeds.

Ok will do testing on the Windows version with the stock ffmpeg provided by zip.

you should see what bbc iplayer and 4od looks like on the wdtv live hehe awesomeness personified the only issue i had with it was it was transcoding or remuxing all online content even though it plays every file format and container natively so i just deleted all the transcoding in the profile and bam all good

[Xmantium]

Tried installing windows 0.6.1 and still no luck, it bombs out randomly
Im sure a month ago 4oD was working fine, has anything changed?

Update: its not a Serviio issue, just checked the XBMC forum which most of the source this plugin originates from. And they are having the same problems. It seems the swf player was changed!!

[Xmantium]

I found the fix!! if your still running the old January 4oD plugin please amend it as 4oD revised their swf player
final SWF_PLAYER = 'http://www.channel4.com/static/programmes/asset/flash/swf/4odplayer-11.8.5.swf'
To

  Code:

final SWF_PLAYER = 'http://www.channel4.com/static/programmes/asset/flash/swf/4odplayer-11.21.2.swf'

Hope we can see an update from zip very soon

[Xmantium]

Update: zip had updated the plugin so you dont have to edit your plugin
thanks zip!

[WildRushSykes]

cant seem to extract it bad archive why did zip archive it anyways lol

[Xmantium]

not sure what you mean... is the plugin not working for you?

I did a full restart and refreshed each 4oD feed

[WildRushSykes]

i cant even extract the 4od plugin from the rar file it says it maybe corrupt

EDIT: NVM it was opera browser being stupid and saving it as an archive and not a groovy file stupid thing

Hope you can update your plugin pack soon

[WildRushSykes]

Works great for me too. A big thank you!

Hi, hope you can help with my 4od problem ...


I've set it up as follows:
Source Type = web resource
Source URL = http://www.channel4.com/programmes/loca ... cation/4od
Display name = 4od
Media type = video

The 4od plugin is in the Plugin folder .... I've 'saved' and "forced a library reset" ... but still nothing on the TV (Panasonic).

I've used Location-Location as an example ....

Hi, hope you can help with my 4od problem ...

What system are you running on?
Are you in the UK? Do you other plugins working ie iPlayer?
Please provide debug logs to identify the problem

I have been experimenting with Homeland on my Sony Bravio.

I can stream some some episodes but others appear to time out.. Is there any way of increasing the time out period.

Are you sure you've got the updated 4oD plugin that zip updated this month?
It fixes the timeout as the original plugin was using an old 4oD swf player

[WildRushSykes]

if their using my plugin pack they will be Just make sure when extracting the files to select overwrite all

I've just registered on the forum to say thanks for such a great product and plugin! My PVR didn't record Homeland the other week (there's a slim possibility I forgot to tell it, but that's unlikely) and I was resigned to having to watch it on the 4OD website on my laptop. When I realised my new Win7 laptop could see my telly I thought something might be possible, 5 minutes of Googling and I found this site, 5 minutes later and I'm streaming 4OD to my telly!

Thanks for a great product which just works - how it should be!

Al.

Xmantium - sorry for the delay, but answers are:
System - Vista Home Premium SP2
In the UK - yes
working plugins
- the only plug in that I have got working fully are YouTube standard feeds, eg most viewed
- I have partial success on some of the streams - in that they appear on the TV (Panasonic Viera - DT30 model) - but it seems that it will only play the first thing I select after that I get various error messages after waiting for about 30 seconds..
- I can't get any other YouTube channels etc to
- The iPlayer doesn't seem to work as set up - HAVE NOW GOT THIS TO WORK USING "FEEDS" URL and "POPULAR"
- 4od doesn't seem to work as set up

I'm sure I am doing something wrong - but it isn't at all clear to me !!!

I've attached the latest log - where I can see lots of error messages, but don't know what action to take.


Thanks ...

Thanks


I am using the current plugin but still experiencing timeouts when trying to stream Homeland and other programs.

Hello,

I've got Serviio installed on FreeNAS 8.0.3 on a HP N40L MicroServer with the 4OD plugin installed, it allows me to add the web resource and then will produce a folder on my DLNA view but there is no content within the folder?

This problem is not present with RSS feeds such as live streams or the iPlayer or YouTube plugin.

I get a whole mess of these;
