Version 8 now posted, to fix titles and thumb extract, and add option to generate urls.
With V8 the groovy also offers a parameter genurls=1 which will cause it to generate the stream urls based on the currently known stream parameters rather than extract them with each refresh (default genurls=0). For 350 videos this reduces the url extract refresh time from 22 minutes to 1 second, however it will fail should the current stream parameters change

Wouldn't it be better to have that URL generation ON by default? Thus no useless polling of Beeg servers that may lead to adding encryption and what not?
And if they would change something on the line, users would be able to disable it until you post an updated version.

So what is the syntax for the genurl option? Where does it go? Sorry but we're all not programmers!

http://beeg.com/section/long-videos/1?start=1&for=50&genurls=1First parameter always starts with ?, subsequents with &.
I will leave genurls=0 as the default because that way it will always work.

Here is a nifty idea.
The first time extractUrl is called:
- generate the link
- Add additionalInfo.put("generated", "true")
- setExpiresImmediately(true);
So when the file is actually played, Serviio would call extractUrl for a second time:
- check if getAdditionalInfo().get("generated") == true
- if so, load the page and get the link.
That way it would be fast and would always work. And no useless polling.

Thanks for the syntax...is this the proper use?

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!
In fact I think this might be applicable to all plugins as a solution to the problem of refreshes taking so long and defer the actual extracts to playback time.

As suggested by mqojdn, Version 9 has been posted which eliminates the genurls option and only extracts the urls if and when when the videos played.

Beeg has the advantage that all the streams are exactly the same, and that it's not that important if those are 9 or 12 minutes long. But that wouldn't work as well for other streams.

this already happens when you set expiresImmediatelly to true (unless I didn't get what you mean). It calls extractUrl just before playing to get the latest URL

Used V8 with the following syntax and (for me) it didn't work.
http://beeg.com/tag/blonde/1?genurl=1Used V9 without the ?genurl=1 flag and still didn't work.
http://beeg.com/tag/blonde/1Rebooted computer and media player after path updates just to be certain.
Guess I should have taken some programming classes back in the '70s!

What does doesn't work mean? Use the info under my signature to post

The trick is that there are no online requests the first time extractUrl() is called.

If it was only the first call, it would not be that big a deal. The point is that there will never be an online request, with the first call at Serviio startup or for every refresh, forced or as scheduled by default in the console. That's where the waste of resources on both the Serviio server and the source stream servers lies. The only on line request is made a playback time.

Hi jhb50,
It seems Beg plugin does generate URl with several different servers: it may be due to some load balancing on the server side.
However, very often URL starting by
http://01.007i.net do timeout with ffmpeg process (error 1), hence files can't be played.
When URL start with
http://0.video.mystreamservice.com (or other initial digit), then ffmpeg connects properly and can process files.
Could the plugin do some test on URLs and generate the most responding ones?
Thanks!
PS: did figure that out after thinking I had transcoding issues with some (most) files and not others. see post there:

You need to post a debug log. V9 of the plugin only generates urls to video.mystreamservice.com and will only get the link from the beeg if that link fails. Perhaps you did not restart Serviio after you loaded V9.

it seems initial web ressource parser is correct, but then when actual playback is requested something goes wrong, file is polled again from sever, and this time with "wrong" server.
Does it help?

The plugin is doing as it should. It is generating the default url at refresh time but loading the url that beeg says it wants you to use at playback time. I will add a usegen=1 option which will ignore the new beeg url and always use the default url to play the files.
