It still can't play guardsman bob

that rtmp endpoint doesn't work in xbmc

Yet Doublelift, who has the exact same rtmp server, works fine??

rtmp://own3duslivefs.fplive.net/own3duslive-live?clgame_13573 pageUrl=http://www.own3d.tv/clgame Playpath=own3d.clgame_13573 swfUrl=http://static.ec.own3d.tv/player/Own3dPlayerV2_86.swf swfVfy=True Live=True

vs

I don't know what to tell ya

I think this is likely the same issue that I'm having with some jtv streams.

A lot of the game streams are using Xsplit broadcasting software and (I'm thinking it's likely the default settting) it's using an unsupported audio codec. More info here -> http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=126212

Maybe you could ask the broadcaster to change the audio codec to mp3 or mp4a that I've seen others using.

Thanks divingmule. I'll try to ask guardsman bob.

I went ahead and rewrote my last version to be a bit more sane. I am not a programmer and have never used Python before so I'm sure there are better ways to make it run, but oh well.
It works fine with both {$cdn1} and {$cdn2}, at least from what I can tell. Guardsman bob isn't streaming right now so I can't test him but everything else I've tried has opened fine.

Replace ShowLiveVideo with this one:

Guardsman bob probably changed his audio codec after asking him and now works fine even with the previous version

You should still update because that other one will crash if there's only one cdn listed in the XML... That's what caused me to mess with this thing again as Dyrus' stream was crashing it for me.

Also I tested a SC2 stream and it sat on the loading stream window for a very long time before working. Looking at the log it looks like their xplit settings weren't all correct and XBMC was trying to figure out what codec to use. So there's hope even for streams that look like they're not working.

Streams always freeze after some secs.

Guardmans Bob stream has stopped working again

Change the order of the if statements near the bottom. The if cdn1 != -1 stuff.
The way I have it is it will prefer a match of cdn1, then a custom rtmp string, then cdn2. For guardsman bob's stream, the own3d cfg file gives a custom rtmp string and a cdn2, but only the cdn2 works, the other one doesn't give it the right codec parameters (XBMC gives: "WARNING: could not find codec parameters") You'll need to switch the cdn2 to be before rtmp and his stream will load, but some other one probably won't.

The best way to do this would be to try each one and catch errors to move to another, but I don't know how to do that in python.
