someone please fix this plugin!!!


- milk - 2010-06-19

Hello. I noticed that the XBOX SVN has now been updated with the code mentioned in this update:

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8971

I realize that the justin.tv code needs to be updated for it to work. My question is, does ticket 8971 fix the RTMP issue with justin.tv?

This plugin is extremely important to the xbox platform. Please advise. ...and thanks for all that you do!

highlandsun, have you had a chance to look at NetStream.Authenticate.UsherToken?


- highlandsun - 2010-06-19

Nope. Not planning to either. With this large a user community there must be at least a few other people with the interest and the skills to do this. Me, not interested.

Justin TV released their API:
http://apiwiki.justin.tv/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

Should it be easier to fix the plugin now?

That's not new. The APIs don't help because they still use the same flash player with the same token/authentication system.

Justin.tv streams are protected with a token/authentication system. There is no way around it unless you're playing the stream from a web browser. For now, assume this plugin will never be fixed. If someone finds a workaround, I would gladly update the plugin.

i thought this would have been fix-able now that xbmc has librtmp Sad
ohwell

You can use rtmpdump's --token option to send the token. The trick is to get the value of the token. It is probably embedded in the swf player or in the web page. AndyBotting is already doing something very similar for the ABC iView plugin.

The problem isn't finding the token. That's the easy part. The problem is sending the token to the rtmp stream. Justin.tv uses a special method to send the token and it can't be replicated in rtmpdump. Check for yourself, run Wireshark, then start a justin.tv stream. Read through the packets.

Perhaps the rtmpdump devs would be interested in extending it to support this? highlandsun is pretty receptive to things that enable librtmp to access more content Smile

Here is an example of the ushertoken for justin.tv:

NetStream.Authenticate.UsherToken =
729993ba4c8f0e28dfec0a383e8c0b60437e8f56:{"swfDomains": ["justin.tv",
"chumby.com", "wdtinc.com", "imapweather.com", "lads-
stage.myspace.com", "myspace.com", "myspacecdn.com", "microsoft.com",
"cpbgroup.com", "cpbstaging.com", "atdmt.com", "atlasrichmedia.com",
"atlasrichmedia.co.uk", "atlasrichmedia.com.au", "akamai.net",
"bkwlddev.com", "radioshack.com", "bkwld.com", "rshost01.com",
"facebook.com"], "streamName": "jtv_3KElRUhKgBQMc51V", "expiration":
1260226146.5775361, "server": "video66"}

I would rejoice if rtmpdump added the ushertoken functionality. XBMC's value would jump tremendously especially in the economy. Many sports fans are using justin.tv to watch games because their home market team is blacked out. That's the case for many NFL fans around the USA.

People are moving to Boxee because of the ability to watch justin.tv.
