Version: Sep 15 2011 nightly

Hi guys,

I've just got myself an Apple TV 2 from my brother who didn't like it, and is unfortunately already on the latest iOS version. Beside the random crashing, I'm having an issue with streaming from my Dreambox.

Like other XBMC installations I have on a Macbook and netbook, I thought it'd be simple to stream from my VU+ Duo (Enigma2) via tuxbox. Unfortunately that isn't the case. By the looks of it, XBMC thinks for some reason it's getting no input from the Dreambox when it tries to connect to a stream. Streaming works great on every other XBMC device and VLC on everything I have, so I'm sure that it's XBMC on the ATV2 that's at fault somewhere.

Code:

Incidentally, this is via Tuxbox and the plugin available here: http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/board/...adID=14215

I've made some modifications to the code of that particular plugin to allow you to authenticate with the Dreambox. If anyone's interested in that let me know, and I'll upload it here. Smile

I'm interested in doing some more work on it in the coming weeks, once I get the streaming working on my own setup.

running the enigma2 plugin on ios 4.2.1 and never had an issue really, have you tried it on a stable release?

obviously you modified the .py file with the correct i.p?

Yep, I can confirm the correct IP address is being used. Are you getting the following line in xbmc.log when trying to stream, or is it selecting something different?

It's determining that the file is a stream (that's because it's a TS stream), but then saying there are no available players to play that stream. It then drops to the default of using the DVD player, which isn't going to work due to it being an incorrect structure.

It'd be interested to see a) how the stream is detected, and b) what player is used on a working system.

I had the same issue on stable (as far as I can recall), but dumped it due to unpredictable behaviour with various scrapers.

Worked it out. This line is from my ATV2 nightly:

19:15:55 T:132313088 DEBUG: FileCurl::Open(0x1f2ee080) http://192.168.1.100:8001/1:0:1:1134:7D7...0:0:0::301 - Sky Premiere

And this is from my netbook (Dharma)

19:05:34 T:140592801642240 M:948408320 DEBUG: FileCurl::Open(0x2bac340) http://192.168.1.100:8001/1:0:1:1134:7D7...20Premiere

Somewhere along the way FileCurl stopped substituting the whitespace for %20. If anyone (stuarttravs?) tries adding a space or two somewhere in a channel name on a recent ATV2 nightly, they will probably find they have the same problem streaming that channel, I imagine.
