+--- Thread: Q: How do I start a video stream (/showthread.php?tid=4139)
- Alpha7959 - 2004-06-14
hi,
i am trying to start a video stream via script and can't get it to work. maybe somebody here can help. out of other posts i found how to do it for audio playlists. in theory it should be similar for video. here the code i have tried:
pls = xbmc.playlist(2)
streamfile = 'f:\\filename.strm'
pls.add(streamfile)
print 'executetagesschau: playing ' + streamfile
xbmc.player().play(pls)
i can manually start the file, but if i try it from the script i get the follwing error:
13-06-2004 21:58:28 mplayer play:f:\filename.strm cachesize:1024
13-06-2004 21:58:29 flipping bi-directional subtitles disabled
13-06-2004 21:58:29 stating file f:\filename.strm.conf
13-06-2004 21:58:29 stating file q:\mplayer\filename.strm.conf
13-06-2004 21:58:29 cmplayer::openfile() f:\filename.strm failed
anybody an idea what to try?
