blip.tv

Hi,

although blip.tv is partially supported out of the box, I had some problems with async audio (on my panasonic TV) or too fast video playback (on my PS3), missing thumbnails and the option to select resolution didn't work. So I built this plugin wich fixes all these problems (at least for me ).

To add a video from a specific member of blip.tv enter an URL like:

http://blip.tv/{username}/rss

To install this plugin just copy the attached file to your serviio plugin directory.

For x86:
C:\Program Files\Serviio\plugins

For x64:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Serviio\plugins

Please let me know if it works for you.

Thanks! Works fine on my Sony TV (it was also supposed to be supported out of the box but doesn't work properly).

Please let me know if it works for you.

It works great. Thanks! Blip videos are unplayable on Panasonic G20 unless your plugin is installed.

There is one minor issue, though. Only 8 videos are available from from http://blip.tv/redlettermedia/rss. Without the plugin all 20 are listed.

The remaining ones are not added to library because of the following error:

Thanks !!

Hello,

thank you for your feedback. It is very much appreciated.

I investigated the issue rrutkows was describing and found a minor bug in my code. The problem occurred for videos that don't provide the requested quality (configured in Serviio Console).

This specific issue should be fixed now. But it still doesn't accept all the videos from rrutkows feed so maybee I'll have to dig somewhat deeper.

Please try the updated version in the first thread post.

Hi,

I'm running into a bit of a issue that I can't figure out. I have installed the latest blip.tv groovy plugin and have added this RSS feed to Serviio:

http://blip.tv/redlettermedia/rss

It works fine. However, when I add this feed:

http://blip.tv/blackboxtv/rss

I get the error:

java.io.IOException: Cannot parse resource from http://blip.tv/blackboxtv/rss. Message: Error during feed parsing, provided URL probably doesn't point to a valid RSS/Atom feed. Message: Invalid XML

What am I missing here? What is interesting is that when I plug the feed URLs into http://feedvalidator.org or http://validator.w3.org, neither of them validate successfully.

Ideas?

[Cerberus]

they would not validate that why the plugin is required to get the actual rss feed from the link.

Understood. Do you get the same error with the link I'm having issues with? The one included in the first post works OK for me, and I do have the plugin installed

I'm still visting from time to time

Are there any bugs left since my last update? Not that much feedback since then Please let me know

Thanx so much! Works smoothly.
