Just wanted to give a heads up, it appears that ABC Family in 0.0.4 is broken. Below is the log. Errors out when trying to play a stream.

Just wanted to say THANKS for this! I have it running on my ATV2 and it just increased my usage of it exponentially!

One thing I wanted to point out, I was testing "Days of our lives" since my wife gets back in town tomorrow and I wanted to surprise her. The episodes there are like 9-10 currently streamable episodes on NBC's site all listed by date.

On FreeCable it lists most of them under one date only and then the rest under a second. Instead of each individually dated.

Thanks again for all that you do this has been such a help!

i have updated librtmp, thanks for providing this update. fox, south park studios, syfy, tv land, adult swim now work however tnt, tbs and spike still do not work for me. i am in the uk and using unblock us, ns if this is why tnt, tbs and still do not work





BlueCop Wrote:youngml: try this librtmp. Replace the existing file in "/Applications/XBMC.frappliance/Frameworks" on your atv2. that should fix the handshake issue. It should also work on ios but I am not sure the exact place to put it.

Let me know how it works out for you.

Iceman72: when I commit new code it should update automatically.

Edit: I also wanted to add that on atv2 that higher resolution vp6/mp3 streams do not work well. For example conan episodes on tbs are vp6/mp3 at 864x480 which seems to be slightly more then atv2 can handle. it will drop alot of frames when there is alot of movement. all the h264/aac work great though because they are hardware accelerated.

I just modified the patch file in the darwin tools for librtmp to patch handshake.h in rtmpdump 2.3 with the old flash version so rtmp servers dont request the newer unsupported handshake. that change is already in the current git for rtmpdump which i took it from.

we can't pull from git on the buildbots, so we need a tarball and would rather keep them release tarballs instead of manually pulling and making from rxxxxx versioned tarball.

Ok, I am confused/perplexed. I don't see that file in that directory on my ATV2. There are other similarly named files there so pretty sure I am looking in the right directory. Was able to copy the file there with no "file exists" warnings. What am I missing (likely something obvious)?

eTip: which version are you running? they changed the location from older versions. you might have to upgrade to the current release if youre using an older one.

Thanks for the response. That may be the issue. I am on PRE-10.0 Git:4b032be. I did a search of the entire file system for anything with "librtmp" in the file name and it only returned the file I copied over.

Think I will hold off on upgrading since I think the latest version breaks the Pandora Addon (on ATV2). Thanks again & keep up the good work.

Can a stream be added for NBC Sports please?

I'm pretty new to all of this, but I installed the plugin and wow. When it's all said and done it may be one of the best. Now for the most part I was able to get everything to work except Hulu.

I can't get anything on hulu to play. Everything else plays fine except the odd episode here and there such as Franklin and Bash Pilot episode on TNT.

Is hulu still be worked on?

Also...Is there anyway to get this app to work on the ipad 2? I have XBMC installed on the ipad 2, but the reason I ask is because of the updating of the Librtmp file which is needed to make most of the videos run for your plugin. How would I update that file with the Ipad 2 since it doesn't use .dll? Could you make a version of it that would work on the Ipad 2?
