Re: SvtPlay (Sweden only)

zip wrote:wow, that's some bitrate. Find the ffmpeg command used to the download/transcode and add this at the end of the url:

  Code:
buffer=100000000


for example:

  Code:
ffmpeg -i "rtmp://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx svfVfy=1 buffer=100000000" -vcodec copy .......


If it doesn't load the file completely you can try changing (increasing) the buffer to see it there is any difference.

Another possibility is that the rtmp server closes the connection because swf verification fails, but that normally happens after 1 minute or so, not 1 hour.

Another test would be to use latest rtmpdump and try to get the file with that.


I'm not sure where to find that command. It's not in the plugin, right? Anyway, judging from the ffmpeg process that's already the size of the buffer. But I'll increase it if you point me in the right direction :)
I did try to change the Prefered quality from High to Low. I can definitely notice a decrease in quality but the file ended up being around 1300 MB anyway. I did manage to watch a couple of minutes more with the lower quality.

What about the "Produce the best video quality" under the Transcoding tab? It's checked right now, would unchecking it help in this case?

Re: SvtPlay (Sweden only)

the command is in your (detailed) log. You'll have to enable detail log first, then restart Serviio service (or PC) and then play the file again.

Buffer should not necessarily be more than the file size, the value is milliseconds.

Here's an example from the detailed log:
  Code:
2012-01-10 21:08:52,896 DEBUG [FFMPEGWrapper] Invoking FFmpeg to transcode video file: rtmp://cp90686.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash/sweden/tv3/Elsa/season1/Program/elsa_108 swfUrl=http://flvplayer-viastream-viasat-tv.origin.vss.viasat.tv/play/swf/player110420.swf swfVfy=1 buffer=100000000


The "buffer=100000000" part is not from the plugin but added somewhere else.

I actually tried with a different file in my previous post, which uses a different plugin. Sorry about that.

Here's a portion of the log for the correct file:
  Code:

Running the command from "Starting" in a terminal doesn't work. I get this:
  Code:

buffer=100000000: Invalid argument


I find all this a bit strange, since it's working through Serviio.

Running without buffer all together I get this after a short while (I'm guessing that's the problem you talked about earlier):
  Code:

the buffer line must be part of the url, within the quotes separated from the url by single space

Right... stupid of me :) Encoding now, I'll be back with the results!

Edit:
I got this in the middle of the output, right before it stopped:
  Code:
RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header1:08:00.48 bitrate=2841.4kbits/s   
frame=102060 fps=199 q=-1.0 Lsize= 1416095kB time=01:08:02.36 bitrate=2841.6kbits/s   
video:1096205kB audio:191361kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead 9.982359%


This was with buffer=100000000. I'll try increasing it but I'm guessing that won't help with this?

Re: SvtPlay (Sweden only)

will see.... looks like it's the time you're all seeing right? 1:08. So it could be down to swf verification of the provider just cutting the stream.

I ran one with buffer=150000000 and the time stopped at 1h14m instead. I then ran one with 200000000 but that stopped again at 1h08m.

Re: SvtPlay (Sweden only)

Alright. You could try the rtmpsuck trick (or the plugin dev could) - as described in the plugin dev guide (viewtopic.php?f=22&t=3274) to see if the librtmp parameters the plugin generates are valid.

Re: SvtPlay (Sweden only)

When running Serviio 6.0.1 (on Win7, 64 bit) SVTPlay worked perfectly for on my Sony Bravia 2010 as well as on my iPad, but after the upgrade to 6.1 it doesn't work for any of my devices. The contents shows up, but it when playing it is VERY bad, showing like one frame every other second or so.

Am I the only one with problems with the SVTPlay plugin under 6.1 Serviio?

I'm working on this... I'm assuming you're refer to Urlsnooper etc. Although, I just got the swf-player when I used that.

However, I found the links anyway. This is an example of how they look:
  Code:
rtmpe://fl11.c90909.cdn.qbrick.com/90909/_definst_/kluster/20120108/PG-1155122-003A-MIDSOMERMURDERS-01-mp4-e-v1.mp4,bitrate:2400


The plugin has an example of a match in a comment:
  Code:
// example of match: rtmp://fl11.c91005.cdn.qbrick.com/91005/_definst_/kluster/20110922/PG-1146034-001A-MITTINATUREN2-02-mp4-e-v1.mp4


It's not the same show, but would the difference between rtmp and rtmpe matter here?

Re: SvtPlay (Sweden only)

maybe. try to download it via FFmpeg to confirm if it can get past the 1h mark.

I looked at the command on the previous page and realized that it already used rtmpe in the url... I'll keep poking at this when I find the time :)

Re: SvtPlay (Sweden only)

I used rtmpsrv and got this:
  Code:
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://fl11.c90909.cdn.qbrick.com/90909/_definst_" -a "90909/_definst_" -f "WIN 11,1,102,55" -W "http://svtplay.se/flash/svtplayer-2011.18.swf" -p "http://svtplay.se/t/111847/morden_i_midsomer" -y "mp4:kluster/20120114/PG-1155122-004A-MIDSOMERMURDERS-01-mp4-c-v1" -o PG-1155122-004A-MIDSOMERMURDERS-01-mp4-c-v1.flv

Closing connection... done!

Here's the command used now (from the debug log):

Do you think it would be possible to change the plugin to make it work? RTMPDump gets the same error, as far as I can tell.

Looks like RTMPDump doesn't support this validation (8). You might check their mailing list.

Re: SvtPlay (Sweden only)

Allright. I'll have a look there and ask around. I find it strange that this problem only occurs with files longer than approx 1h8m, but I know nothing of rtmp so maybe that's not so strange as I find it :)

Re: SvtPlay (Sweden only)

I just want to say that this SVTPlay works flawless for me. But I have one question. In every RSS feed I only get the first 20 streams, is that normal or you can fix somehow to get more?

Like for instance with Youtube plugin there is a limit of 25 streams, but I've gotten around that by having another RSS with next 25 streams.

Check on Serviio Console, where you can limit the number of feeds parsed.

OK, but I have there set the number of feeds to unlimited, should I set to 50 for example?
