[RELEASE] Demand 5 (Video) Addon - UK Channel 5 on demand

Just in from work, pint of cider, and you have uploaded 4OD, brill, now can watch some shows been missing!!
Thank you very much...i tried with the py as pat suggested, but it wasn't having it!
regards

After applying the fix to default.py to get it to work with the nightly's, all videos are now downloaded at 640*360 where as before they were 832*468

Any quick fix for this? And maybe in the long term a quality setting for 5 & 4od?

Thanks for the plugins BTW

+1 on this ... been hoping for this for AAAAGES!

File has gone Stammie, any chance of someone reupping please?

Well, here goes.

I have a new, HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL version of the Demand 5 plugin:

Demand 5 1.3.2

New, possibly broken, features:

1) Supports HTTP, SOCKSv4 and SOCKSv5 proxies for the HTTP data

2) Supports SOCKSv4 only for RTMP streaming outside the UK/via a SOCKSv4 proxy. (Channel 5 in their infinite wisdom geo-lock the RTMP streams - doh !)


To make this work with a proxy is a little tricky.

1) Make sure that you have a UK-based SOCKSv4 proxy. Test it using your favourite browser to ensure that it actually does work.

2) In the "Proxies" page, declare your HTTP proxy (that is the one that serves webpages)

3) In the "Streams" page, declare your SOCKS proxy

4) In the "Downloads" page, declare the location of RTMPDump and the Default Download Folder. (You can ignore the mplayer setting)

5) If you have a SOCKS streaming proxy set up, whether you press PLAY or DOWNLOAD, a background process to download via the proxy and then kick off the XBMC player will work. If you find that the your video cuts out after starting, it is probably because the buffer hasn't filled up enough - you can adjust the amount of time between starting the RTMPdump and the video playing by changing the "Playback Delay Time" (default 10 seconds) in the "Streams" page.

I will probably make some changes to this over the next few days, so, Your Mileage May Vary.

Good luck !

David


BTW - looks like this is Linux only for the moment. Windoze is complaining that the zip file has an invalid structure and giving me no indication of where that problem may be. Plus, the parallel download mechanism that works well on real operating systems refuse to work.

So that was a disaster.

The 1.3.2 Zip didn't even load correctly in XBMC.

So I fixed that.. Demand 5 1.3.3

Not working on Windows if you use a SOCKS proxy for RTMPdump.

The issue is that I have is that I have to fork RTMPDump to background and then XBMC reads the file - this works fine in Linux, but with Windoze XBMC minimises and the RTMPDump stays in an active window rather than going to background.

Good job that no-one in their right mind uses Windows

Workes great on my Windows machine with Expat Shield running in the background.

Hi all. After a long period out of commission I'm checking back in here. It looks like dlake02 has picked up the baton and taken things much further forward, but for completeness, I did just update my old plugin to fix that problem. I'll look into David's great work soon.
