USTREAM.TV plugin for Serviio.

Thanks to piscui - http://piscui.webear.net/ustream.php for providing the logic to extract the stream information.

Add the links as video webresource in serviio after installing the plugin

v1
Sample links:

Code:: http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv http://www.ustream.tv/opensea

v2
Page urls and categories are also supported. Only the channels with the LIVE badge on the page are loaded.
Sample links:

Code:: http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv http://www.ustream.tv/opensea http://www.ustream.tv/discovery/live/sports?order=most-views-all http://www.ustream.tv/discovery/live/sports?order=most-views-all&page=2 http://www.ustream.tv/discovery/live/entertainment

v3
Fix for /new#./ and /new# links for the new USTREAM when using IE as reported here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=6877#p49895

Code:: http://www.ustream.tv/new#./nasahdtv http://www.ustream.tv/new#./creativelive http://www.ustream.tv/new#channel/live-iss-stream http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv http://www.ustream.tv/opensea http://www.ustream.tv/discovery/live/sports?order=most-views-all http://www.ustream.tv/discovery/live/sports?order=most-views-all&page=2 http://www.ustream.tv/discovery/live/entertainment

Hi,

Great plugin and I really appreciate it.

However, I'm still not able to get either http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv or http://www.ustream.tv/opensea to work

I'm using a Sony KDL-22EX320, neither of the above appear in the list but they both have the live badge in the top left. I added as a web resource as stated and nothing.

What Source URL are you using?
rtmp://ustreamlivefs.fplive.net/ustream3live-live/ playpath=stream_live_1_1_6540154 swfUrl=http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/viewer.rsl:96.swf swfVfy=1 live=1
and
rtmp://ustreamlivefs.fplive.net/ustream2live-live/ playpath=stream_live_1_1_9600798 swfUrl=http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/viewer.rsl:96.swf swfVfy=1 live=1
...should work for the two channels you listed.

The new ustream at http://www.ustream.tv supports live streams but displays and uses links of the form

Code:: http://www.ustream.tv/new#./usarugby or http://www.ustream.tv/new#channel/drag-story

It also has new category support using links of the form

Code:: http://www.ustream.tv/new#new/explore/entertainment and http://www.ustream.tv/new#new/spotlight/underthesea

Can you update the groovy to support these as well?

Note also that your V2 groovy still says V1 in the header comments.

For the direct channel links:

Code:: http://www.ustream.tv/new#./usarugby and http://www.ustream.tv/new#channel/drag-story

I am still unable to get the links that you have here. When I double click on a video in the new USTREAM, I get the link of the following form in my browser window:

Code:: http://www.ustream.tv/usarugby and http://www.ustream.tv/channel/drag-story

respectively. I am not sure why you are getting different links tham myself.

For the new page links, http://www.ustream.tv/new/explore/entertainment and http://www.ustream.tv/new/spotlight/underthesea, I will update it in a day or two.

Its kind of weird

www.ustream.tv opens at category explore/all and the browser bar changes to http://www.ustream.tv/new and a video plays in the little window.

If I double click the first video "NASA TV ..." it opens and plays it in the medium size window an the browser bar displays http://www.ustream.tv/new#./nasahdtv

If I double click the second video "Creative ..." it opens and plays it in the medium size window an the browser bar displays http://www.ustream.tv/new#./creativelive

If I double click the third video "Live from the ISS" it opens and plays it in the medium size window an the browser bar displays http://www.ustream.tv/new#channel/live-iss-stream

This is with W7-64 IE8.

When I repeat with firefox I see that the /new#. and /new# are removed from the browser bar links, but I would like to be able to copy these IE links directly to Serviio and have the groovy remove the /new#, and /new# so the links become "normal".

I've moded my copy of your groovy to do this and it works fine, but you may want to update yours to do the same.

I don't know if the update included the new categories but " http://www.ustream.tv/new/spotlight/underthesea" does not work yet.

When I generate them via the php script they sometimes work (on and off).
My TV connection is wifi but I cant see that affecting anything since everything else through serviio works fine. The problem with those streams is nasa restarts them a lot which causes the address to change slightly every time which is why this plugin would be great for me

Just use the plugin then. It works fine for those links.

@xs2inattar
Any progress on this? http://www.ustream.tv/new#new/spotlight/underthesea
is not returning results for me.

Also neither
http://www.ustream.tv/new#channel/madsci9001
or
http://www.ustream.tv/hannel/madsci9001
work.

All the above return video not found in the log.
does not work

The stream urls extracted using the new url: http://www.ustream.tv/new#channel/madsci9001 is completely different from one extracted from the old url: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/madsci9001.
The one extracted using the new url without removing the /new# seems to extract the correct url. Can you please test with some urls after removing the following two lines from the code.

ustreamURL = ustreamURL.replaceFirst("/new#\\./", "/")
ustreamURL = ustreamURL.replaceFirst("/new#", "/")

Also after removing the above two lines from the code, this link: http://www.ustream.tv/new#new/spotlight/underthesea works fine. Again if you could run some test with other urls as well.

Please let me know, if all the urls that you usually use work fine afvter the above changes, and I will update the plugin here.

Removed those 2 lines from your groovy.

Tried

The ISS failure is due to the URL that was used

Code:: rtmp://ustreamlivefs.fplive.net/ustream2live-live/ playpath=stream_live_1_1_9408562 swfUrl=http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/viewer.rsl:96.swf swfVfy=1 live=1

URL snooper gave me this link which works:

Code:: rtmp://cp39920.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live/ustream-lax@11229 swfUrl=http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/viewer.rsl:96.swf swfVfy=1 live=1

I've played around with this today but just cannot figure out how to get these new links. They seem to change all over the place.

UPDATE
Version:4
August 25, 2012
USTREAM made some changes to how their streams work. Updated the plugin to reflect those changes.

Thanks to jhb50 for testing out the changes.

Posted: **Mon Aug 27, 2012 10:37 pm**

UPDATED
v5
August 27, 2012
Update provided by jhb50
Added support for new categories.
The following category format is now also supported.

Code:: http://www.ustream.tv/new#new/spotlight/underthesea

Posted: **Mon Aug 27, 2012 11:35 pm**

Regarding Version 5 and the new categories support:

The new www.ustream.tv site now provides a menu of categories (home, spotlight and explore) and under each category there are a number of subcategories (eg:explore has news, pets & animals, entertainment, sports, music etc), which when selected may contain a menu of recorded and live streams.

The browser line will also show a URL of the form http://www.ustream.tv/new#new/category/subcategory or www.ustream.tv/new/category/subcategory depending on the browser; for example http://www.ustream.tv/new#new/spotlight/underthesea or (http://)www.ustream.tv/new/spotlight/underthesea

Entering either of these url forms as a video web resource, will produce an online menu of the live streams for that subcategory. We have not yet determined how to access the recorded content.

This version works fine for me but xs2inattar has received index errors when accessing these new categories. Please post if you encounter similar problems.

Posted: **Mon Sep 03, 2012 2:06 pm**

bit of a novice query here but I'm trying to use Serviio to grab the feed off the following UStream page:

http://www.ustream.tv/GTWorld

Unfortunately it is only online when the race is live so once a month or so which makes me troubleshooting the link a bit of a nightmare.

I have the latest ustream plugin. I am unsure of what I do next as it doesn't seem to fall into a category that I can find.

Do I enter a livestream of "http://www.ustream.tv/GTWorld"
or a web Resource of "http://www.ustream.tv/GTWorld"
or possibly both are wrong...

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Pete

I thought he made it pretty clear

Add the links as video webresource in serviio after installing the plugin

Posted: **Mon Sep 03, 2012 6:17 pm**

thanks for the quick reply. thanks for that info on which category it goes in.

my other question would be is my link "http://www.ustream.tv/GTWorld" the correct format? it seems quite different to the other formats like "http://www.ustream.tv/new#new/spotlight/underthesea" which include the category and sub-category parts.

If i simply insert my channel link as a resource will it be fine?

Thanks again jhb50,
Pete.
