[RELEASE] 4oD (Video) Addon - UK Channel 4 on demand

http://pastebin.com/Q5ShUJbc This should be better. Thanks Mossy

@idlerobbo

Which SOCKS Proxy are you using ? I have tried ss5 and srelay on my CentOS VPS, and neither work... I'm either doing something very stupid, or I need a different proxy.

@Slatri - new test version should fix that problem.

@dlake - does the debug output give any hints?

@Mossy - no :-(

But the problem appears to be related to the socks implementation when retrieving HTTP files. I've tested my SOCKS proxy with the iPlayer app and with my browser, and all is fine.

Looking at the iPlayer app, they are using the standard socks.py as part of the httplib2 resources. I've had a quick look at the 4OD code, and using the same library should be straightforward, but will need some changes. I'm happy to have a look at this sometime, but I'm a little busy at the moment.....

I'm very surprised that there isn't a urlerror logged due to the lack of successful connection in that case. That in itself is a bug, so it would be helpful to see the debug log, if you could post it.

Well done for spotting that David, I assumed that urllib2 supported SOCKS proxies directly.

iplayer is using a thirdy party module called socksipy (with some modifications the iplayer guys added). I've copied that module into the 4od plugin.

Now rtmpdump/librtmp only supports SOCK4, but it occurs to me that maybe only some of the 4oD urls are geo-locked, it is possible that the rtmp streams are not geo-locked, and can be streamed by anyone providing the correct authentication. If this is the case then I can stop passing the socks proxy parameters to librtmp/rtmpdump.

This will allow the plugin to use all of the proxy types supported by socksipy (HTTP, HTTP-tunneling, SOCK4 and SOCK5).

The latest version incorporates those changes.

As always, if there are problems please post a debug log (to the new thread).
