there's just a lot more of the possible to still be eliminated

as i've stated before, your problem pertains to transcoding and nothing else; we know that much for certain. whether that is a serviio bug or not, or a portability issue or whatever is still to be determined. my line of questioning (7 of them) towards pjimmy makes sense because all of these things are factors that each might cause his media renderer/controler to not display any titles (which is a symptom completely distinct from what you're experiencing). knowing the root causes of your problem and the lack of information on his side, comparing the two situations isn't beneficial to solving either of the problems.

e:
i'm trying out my releases on win7 with the stock ffmpeg in serviio 1.3 as well as on ubuntu with a git version of ffmpeg and serviio 1.2.1

e2: alright, i had tried your fix on the windows machine and didn't remove the quotation marks again. looks like this bug is specific to windows. i'll relay it to zip.

I've made a change for 1.3.1 which should fix the problem. Basically it was caused by the quotes already being present in the JSON document that is passed in the URL.

If someone is interested in testing it, PM me.

When i open the folder @ online sources i get: No content available.

[zip]

1.3.1 is out, so give it a try

1.3.1 is out, so give it a try

Thanks Zip, it does solve the quotes missing issue.
Thanks.

To all: regarding the patch in my previous posts - with Serviio 1.3.1 it's not needed any longer. So, if you applied the change, remove it now from twitch.groovy, otherwise your online sources won't work .

cool stuff, thanks for taking this on zip.

I'm updating to the new servioo. Can you upload the final groovy that's required? Thanks

Thanks guys. The new update did the trick. The stream is playing fine on my system. Thanks for all the great work guys.

Hi guys,

several day ago, I add http://www.twitch.tv/riotgames to my serviio server, it did work for my PS3.
but today when I open the Riotgames steam, I got the message "There are no titles." it didn't work.

I have noticed the twitch got some updates.
they change 720p/480/~ to Source/High/Medium/~.

I need your help, I wish to see the stream on my PS3 again.

[jules]

did you try force refreshing?

did you try force refreshing?

I try to force refreshing and add a new steam on twitch into the server.
the new steam worked very well.

I will try the riotgames steam again when it is steaming.

Thank you.

Hi everyone !

First, thank you for the plugin.
I'm not used to ask questions like that on forums but I'm quite lost since everybody on this thread seems to be able to use this plugin and ... Not me ...

Basically, I have serviio 1.3.1 running on a Debian 7 virtual machine, host on VMware ESXi 5.5. I installed FFmpeg with aptitude (I didn't compile it myself).
I'm using it to watch movies and tv shows on my Samsung ES6300 TV and everything is running fine.

However, I cannot manage to use this plugin and Watch twitch streams either on my PC (Windows 8 via WMP or VLC) or on my TV. On my PC, WMP is just running and nothing appears and on my TV, I have a message like "this file is not supported".
For the plugin, I just put the .groovy file in the "plugins" folder and the different qualities of the streams are correctly detected (low, medium, high and live).

EDIT : ffmpeg seems to be deprecated on Debian and they ask to use "avconv" instead. Could it be linked to my issue ?

I hope I didn't miss the answer on this thread and I thank you very much for your help.

Have a nice week-end !

you still need ffmpeg because while it may be deprecated on debian, it is still used by serviio.

this wiki article details how to compile it manually (but hey, that's already in the original post):

Thank you for your answer.

I saw that yeah but the way it's written, I thought manual compilation was required only for Serviio 1.1, did I get it wrong ?
Is it mandatory to compile it manually, even with Serviio 1.3.1 and ffmepg installed through the package manager ?

EDIT : Maybe I wasn't clear enough, ffmpeg is depecrated with Debian 7 but it's still available and the "ffmpeg" command still find the binary. Using avconv is just an advice.

depends on what version of ffmpeg your distro ships. given that debian is (or at least used to be) a crapfest of ancient packages, starting with a new compile is usually a good place to start debugging these problems.

a good indicator whether your version is new enough is usually to run rtmpdump --help and look out for whether it contains the --jtv parameter, but newer is usually better.

so ideally, you should just go ahead and compile a version from git or that .tar.gz to which the wiki links.

Yeah, that's right for Debian but I found that this is no longer the case with the 7th version.

A ffmepg -version give me this :
ffmpeg 0.8.6-6:0.8.6-1
libavutil 51. 22. 1 / 51. 22. 1
libavcodec 53. 35. 0 / 53. 35. 0
libavformat 53. 21. 1 / 53. 21. 1
libavdevice 53. 2. 0 / 53. 2. 0
libavfilter 2. 15. 0 / 2. 15. 0
libswscale 2. 1. 0 / 2. 1. 0
libpostproc 52. 0. 0 / 52. 0. 0

And rtmpdump --help does contain the --jtv option.

Anyway, I'll try to compile and install it manually. Thank you for the indications, I'll keep you updated

EDIT : unfortunately, a manual build of ffmpeg from their git repository didn't change anything
ffmpeg -version :
ffmpeg version N-57109-gede7602
built on Oct 13 2013 21:20:03 with gcc 4.7 (Debian 4.7.2-5)

libavdevice 55. 4.100 / 55. 4.100
libavfilter 3. 88.101 / 3. 88.101

i guess you could proceed by posting your detailed debug log when you try watching the stream from VLC

Hello !

That's weird ... Yesterday, I could see the different files in "Online Sources" withmy TV but couldn't play it.
After I set the log level to DEBUG, I cannot see any file at all in the folders (but one folder per twitch Stream does appear). Obvisouly, I checked that the Stream is online before testing.

Here is the log, I think it could be the issue, it does the same thing for every quality (360, 480, 720 and live720), this happens when I force refresh in Online Source from the Serviio Console :
http://pastebin.com/gj9bswXE

Apparently, FFMPEG doesn't like the video format ... Which is, once again, weird because I could see the different qualities yesterday ...

Thanks for your help !

[jules]

that's quite odd, because twitch only uses x264, which ffmpeg definitely knows, along with a couple of audio formats that it should know as well. did you compile ffmpeg doing all of the steps before/after that in the wiki? i.e. x264, librtmp, etc.?

please see if doing this procedure (ffmpeg -i) gives you any output: viewtopic.php?p=72121#p72121

Well ... I just feel dumb right now.
I don't know what I did wrong the first time but it seems that the rebuild of ffmpeg (with x264 and the others libraries) correct my problem ...

Thank you guys for your patience and your help and most of all, thank you for the awesome tool Serviio is and also for this veryveryvery nice plugin
The next SC2 competitions will be even sweeter now ! :p
Keep doing such a great job !
