[REQUEST] Channel4 Catchup - 4oD (Channel 4 on Demand) Plugin? - MattCook - 2008-04-14 Channel 4 in the UK also have an 'on demand' service. http://www.channel4.com/4od/index.html I'm not sure how it works (download and/or streaming) but I'll check it out when I get the chance. Along with the BBC iPlayer script (and potentially an ITV Catchup script) this would provide very good UK coverage. I'm not able to produce such a script but would use it if available ... would anyone else? Regards .... Matt - johnsto - 2008-04-15 I'm pretty sure 4OD uses encrypted, DRM'ed WMV files, so getting them to play on XBMC is nigh on impossible... Channel 4 Catch Up (UK)? - rickwookie - 2008-11-24 Sorry if this has already been asked (I know it has for 4od, which is something different). Would it be possible to create a script/plugin to parse http://www.channel4.com/watch_online/ and allow the selected Catch Up streams to be played? - Geeba - 2008-11-24 Would be nice... Channel 4 do some great shows... You need to ask Mr Voinage.... hes pretty much top dog on these... - thomasn - 2009-01-05 How does the iplayer plugin work then? That uses drm'ed files doesnt it? - Gamester17 - 2009-01-05 thomasn Wrote:How does the iplayer plugin work then?

You'd need to persuade somene with some serious skills... [REQUEST] Channel4 Catchup - 4oD (Channel 4 on Demand) Plugin? - captaincook - 2009-04-08 Channel 4 has today unveiled a new 4oD Catch-up service that's accessible through any Flash-enabled web browser. The new 4oD Catch-up portal at http://www.channel4.com/programmes/catch-up offers programmes from the previous 30 days on Channel 4, More 4 and E4, to watch directly in the browser. Would love to see a plugin for this, its not the same as the DRM 4OD windows applications cheers CC - Dan Dare - 2009-04-08 Huh, looks interesting, I might have a look... not available in my area..... - lewis.donofrio - 2009-04-08 Where is it then? - Dan Dare - 2009-04-08 @ewis.donofrio There is a Help link in the message you're getting, doh :-) If you are in UK you might want to send'em and email to clear things out. ___________________________________ Can I watch 4oD Catch-Up in another country? Rights agreements mean that our 4oD Catch-Up service is only available in the UK. Even if you are a citizen of the UK you cannot access the service from abroad. - Geeba - 2009-04-08 Yep Channel 4 would be good! Dink or Voinage are your best bets..... Dink I think now maintains the BBC iPlayer (dam good it is too) and ITV Catchup... They have a new one too ITVPlayer.... not sure if its the same as ITV catchup - pt-1 - 2009-04-08 Doesn't C4 use DRM ..? - jacksprat - 2009-04-22 Should be able to to use the base code from the BBC and ITV plugins to get the 4OD streams. Just not sure how! *looks hopefully at the pros* - Voinage - 2009-04-23 Pick a program: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/hestons-feasts/catch-up Pick an episode: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/hestons-feasts/catch-up#2870743 All you need is the number after the hash. http://www.channel4.com/services/catchup-availability/asset-info/2870743 And go from there. Code: import re,urllib2 The above code Grabs all the available content, the method gets the rtmp / maybe. I have spotted 2 rtmp streams. One within the xml from the above method. One via wireshark.... |
