Serviio

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:09 am**

Hi,

I am writing a new WebResource plugin for svtplay, and I am finding that Serviio can not sniff out the media type for the applehttp stream.

Here is an error from the log file:

The url reported by the FFMPEGWrapper contains commas.
But the url reported by the ProcessExecutor contains escape sequences (url-encoding) for those commas.

If i try to run the unescaped url in VLC, the stream plays fine.

If I try to dump the unescaped url using ffmpeg (latest static build for Windows x64) I get some warnings, but it still parses and dumps the stream:

So, my guess is that one of the components FFMPEGWrapper or ProcessExecutor erroneously url-encodes the url before passing it to FFMPeg.

Suggest this command line:

ffmpeg.exe" -i "http://svtplay4h-f.akamaihd.net/i/world/open/20121115/1308916-064A_ABC/REGIONALA_NYHET-064A-abc-da7336991ee4e4ce_,900,320,420,620,1660,2760,.mp4.csmil/index_5_av.m3u8?e=b2a7ace1bf661c32" -y -copyts -c:v copy -c:a copy -f mpegts C:\Windows\TEMP\Serviio\TEST.ts

Well, to clarify:

It's not the exact command line switches I'm after. I'm trying to report what I perceive to be a bug in Serviio, namely:

* My plugin delivers the correct url in the contaier.
* When serviio attempts to find out the media at the other end of that url, the url appears to have been mangled

Thus, Serviio does not show any items for the online feed, although they obviously exist and can be dumped using ffmpeg and the url which my plugin reported.

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:21 pm**

I'll look into this. There is code to manage commas in URLs, will try it with your example.

Zip: great.
The report got a little confused by the forum board mangling the urls as well :-)

Basically, the FFMPEGWrapper reports the url suggested by Illico, whereas the ProcessExecutor reports the url with all the commas replaced with %2c.

I can't be certain that the mangled url is used in the media retrieval; it might just be mangled in the log entry.

If it's just a log entry bug, I suppose Serviio can sniff the stream but does not recognise "hls,applehttp" as a media container type. Which if that is the case it needs to start supporting.

fixed for 1.1

Wonderful. Is there a scheduled release date?

No

Aiming for before Christmas.
