Credit to gimbal and sulfobus for finding the category feeds. I took the liberty to copy them here for easy reference.

Here are the links for the latest broadcasts by category:

Exchange "expression=full" to "expression=sample" to get the latest clips, not just full programs.

Thank you so much... fingers crossed more play sites listed soon..

I tried it but it seems my Samsung B-series TV can't play the files. It tries to play it but says that the file format isn't supported and then skips to the next svtplay program.

I'm on a Samsung B-series myself, so it may very well not be the tv...

I haven't done huge amounts of testing though, so there could also be a bug on my part.

Is it always the same issue with the same show? Does it happen on several different shows?

Seems like a nice job!

When I'm up to it I would extend it to select quality based on the incoming parameter.

I have one major problem though, it doesn't work at all with my Serviio running on my Ubuntu Linux. My Serviio logs errors similar to:

  Code:

As seen, the rtmp URL are extracted al right, but Serviio doesn't seem to know what kind of media type this is. Thing is, using rtmpdump (i.e. http://svtget.se/) works fine, and Serviio transcodes the .mp4 file and it plays well on my TV (Sony Bravia).

Am I the only one experiencing these problems?

[zip]

what OS are you on? Do you use the supplied FFmpeg?

this works ok for me:

  Code:

ffmpeg -i "rtmp://fl11.c91005.cdn.qbrick.com/91005/_definst_/kluster/20110924/1191201-0924RAPPORT1930-PLAY-mp4-c-v1.mp4"

So far all the svtplay shows I have tried have failed. I've tried about five or six or something like that and they all have "unsupported file format".

Wait, now it works!
For some reason I had two render profiles, the first one was an unknown device and the second one was my TV. (It's been that way for months and since everything has worked up until now I haven't touched it) But now I removed the unknown device and hey presto, SVT play works.

Thanks for the plugin.

Also fail for me.. i have a B model panel with a D series Home Theatre.. with smart hub..

Found out peerblock was blocking the ip of the feed.. all is good

[zip]

enable detailed log and post the ffmpeg command it uses to transcode the file

Great news that you got it working in the end!

Do you have your render-profile setup correctly? Perhaps your issue is similar to the one Gimbal had?

If that's not it, then what sort of "fail" is it?

Seems like a nice job!

Yah, I'm ignoring the quality-parameter at the moment because I always want the highest possible quality anyway... But it would be a good way to extend/improve the plugin.

As for your error on ubuntu I better leave your issue in zip's skilled hands as it seems to be related to serviio rather than the plugin itself(although I may be utterly wrong here).

Forgot to check peerblock.. now working great with all links shown in menu.. with D series HT...


Great work thanks heaps.. btw tv3play thru smart hub is worth checking out..

Many thanks for the plugin (and for the online feeds-function), it works well with serviio on a windowsxp-PC and a samsung D-series tv (UE376517) connected by wifi.

Just to clarify the feed creation, the number in the feed URL in the first post can be replaced by the number shown in the web-view URL.
Example: http://svtplay.se/t/103478/dokumentarfilm
becomes: http://feeds.svtplay.se/v1/video/list/1 ... mode=plain
Probably obvious to most, but just in case...

Question: Is there a way to show the latest feeds in a specific category, not just the "all category"-view in the example?

I wasn't aware that there were feeds for all the programs, I've been searching for something similar...

Further clarification on the feed-generation: As solfobus says above the number in the feed url can be replaced by the number for a particular show to get a feed for all episodes of that show.
Example:
Show URL: http://svtplay.se/t/102814/vetenskapens_varld
Feed: http://feeds.svtplay.se/v1/video/list/1 ... mode=plain


To the point. Yesterday I got categories working at home. However, it requires that I run a groovy-script to create the rss-feeds for the different categories and then publish them on localhost, as I couldn't find any feeds for the categories on the svtplay-website. I'm looking into a way to get around this, although it might not be possible with the current plugin-system.

Are we talking about categories at SVTplay such as "Film och drama" or "nyheter"? If that is the case all I did was selecting the RSS feed icon on the web-browser for the different categories I wanted and then cut-and-pasted the address from the adress field of the browser into serviio. I now have three different categories to choose from, pretty sweet actually. Thanks Petr for a great piece of software.

Thanks. Here are the links for the latest broadcasts:

Exchange "expression=full" to "expression=sample" to get the latest clips, not just full programs.

Hm, which browser did you use to find those rss-links? I don't seem to get them in Firefox...

Either way it's great news that there are rss-feeds for these. Good find!

Good summary there sulfobus.

Just for fun I can add that you can combine categories as well...
Kultur, Nöje, Film och Drama:
http://feeds.svtplay.se/v1/video/list/9 ... mode=plain

Or do single categories...

Right I forgot about that, for some reason Firefox doesn't have this function any more, you have to install an RSS plugin to get it back. (I say "back" because it used to be integrated in Firefox.)
