Web Streaming To TV: A Working Method And Help!
I have been using Serviio for many years to play movies from my PC to my TV. This works very well.
I have tried to add web streaming to Serviio to watch occasional sports: this years Champions League Final for instance which comes from a bonafide YouTube channel from BT Sports, so nothing dodgy!
I have found many help videos and instructions,and consulted the Serviio plugins forum but they all appear to offer different ways for older versions of software with non working links, and I cannot get anything to work as expected.
Basically, I have downloaded the 'YouTube.groovy' plugin and added it to the serviioo/plugins folder.
I then have obtained the source url (using several firefox plugins) and used the settings: see the attached image file.
When I save I get 'provided url is not valid'.
When I go to the Serviio library options on my TV (Panasonic TX-55GZ950B) I get an additional 'online' folder, but this has no content.
I have also tried some other suggestions and YouTube websites, but I cannot get anything to display.
I know the TV has a YouTube web channel I can use, but this has an awful interface and takes ages to enter the web address, so I want something easier and repeatable.
Would someone please advise what I should expect to see in the 'online' folder and what I am doing wrong!
I even tried this serviio forum entry: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=24428.
But all I get is an invalid url popup!
Does anyone have a working website I could try?
regards and thanks
