It can recognize if stream is online, it can show data like /3K or something like that, but when trying to launch, it shows error.

i'll take a look at it tonight. but to my knowledge, the basic algorithm should still be working (does fine in other script i have). do you guys have debug logs? sample channels that don't work?

No problem watching it on my PC browser, it's running and this guy will probably be streaming for hours. http://www.twitch.tv/sing_sing

That's the same thing that's happening to me. It gives me network error. I can see the different streams that I set up but none of them play. Only that error message shows up.

brief update: the plugin is still working fine.
i think the cause of the error is the parameters (or lack thereof) that serviio chooses to construct command lines, and twitch may have recently changed something to cause this. i'll shoot zip a pm and ask him what he thinks of this, because i can't really think of anything i could do to fix this.

e: might be a bug in ffmpeg. no fix for the foreseeable future, sorry.

Well, shit.

If it's ffmpeg, which party (serviio, twitch, windows) changed something?

Any ideas what to do to make it work for PS3 ?

[jules]

both of these are answered in my last post.

Oh damn, that really does suck.
It sounds like the only way to watch Twitch on a Smart TV will be to buy a Chromecast

I have been watching Twitch on my TV today =)

If any of you are desperate and able to compile ffmpeg from source, you can hack it to work with Twitch.

NOTE: use this at your own risk (many producers of TV's make crappy software)

if you download the source, and open the file 'libavformat/mpegtsenc.c' and add 'return 0;' first in ff_check_h264_startcode()
The hack disables validation of video content.

My TV can play this new stream fine, but yours may not.

[jules]

yeah, that works alright. unfortunately that's not really easy to deploy, especially for windows.

First off, thank you for that very much appreciated fix.
I wonder what the involved risks are though, is it about Serviio no longer working on the TV, or the TV not even booting?

[jules]

nah, the risk is just that the tv's (or ps' or xbox' or whatever's) media player doesn't recognize the video file, that's all. the routine is generally there to check whether the h264 stream is valid, i.e. its start conforms to a specific scheme.
the worst that might happen is that invalid h264 streams could be read and then the ffmpeg process goes into a panic, which is irrelevant, because serviio spawns them for each file separately anyway.

what Rune likely meant by "My TV can play this new stream fine, but yours may not." is that your tv may check this start as well, and since the stream is remuxed to .ts without changing the video stream itself, your tv may not want to play the file in the same way that serviio is currently not getting any love from ffmpeg as it tries to read the stream.

Hi y'all, I am from Germany.

I have a new Bravia W905a 55°and Serviio is working fine so far, but here I kinda have a problem:

I think that it's about my remote settings, but they look fine now:



I already tried to unset the checkmark, but without any solution. I kinda followed this guide, except the last part about the dynamic ip adress.

Edit: I am using Windows 7.


Thanks in advice. See you!

[freaknik]

might want to edit out your ip address for privacy's sake.

Hey, I did restart my router anyways, but thank you. I edited it (just in case).

[jules]

you didn't provide a description of what your actual problem is (i.e. symptoms), but judging from the log you have the same issue as everyone with twitch's new encoding settings. look at the last dozen or so posts.

if someone can compile ffmpeg for windows and provide a binary with the fix posted here, i can put that in the original post. unfortunately, i haven't been able to.

I haven't been able to either, I've been working on that since you posted it but so many issues arose, I can't even run a configure properly.

[jules]

that's possibly because they seem to have fucked up the repo's Makefile for now...

e: see viewtopic.php?p=94157#p94157 for ffmpeg.exe

Gonna do that ASAP, thank you.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit it works! Thank you, I thought I would never be able to watch the GSL finals. Big props to you <3
I'll spread the word.
