Playing wsx streams from masteetv.com
#1
Hi
We had been running into problems playing wsx streams from the below website:
http://www.masteetv.com/geo_entertainment2.php
I thought I would check with the devs on this one because there are a lot of these wsx streams around and the links are better quality and more stable than their rtmp counterparts

I snooped it using Fiddler and found that when the url above is opened, there are a bunch of requests sent to the server (passing in a timestamp and hash value). When the stream is stopped, the last request returns an xml file:
http://pastebin.com/4gwXd0Mq

I was hoping this would contain the underlying playlist of stream urls (i.e. rtmp or mms or asf etc), but it just seems to point to the same wsx url again. The url looks like the below (the timestamp and hash changes every min)
mms://89.248.162.177:911/live/geotv.wsx?server_time=TIMESTAMP&hash_value=HASHVAL==&validminutes=1

Pasting the wsx url (with hash and timestamp) into Windows media player works (provided you do it quickly after generating the hash/timestamp pair), but trying to play the same url through xbmc doesn't seem to work

Looked over the microsft doc about wsx but haven't been able to get much further:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows...model.aspx

From my plugin I am able to invoke the php script and generate the hash/timestamp pairs but can't get the final url to play in xbmc.

Any ideas on how I should proceed on this?

Thanks!
