AddonScriptorDE: Awesome, it works very well. I do get some errors complaining that the proxy can not connect because the ports are busy, you should add some code to check whether the proxy is already running.

My fault... I checked for the proxy with:
but I did this check before defining getUrl(): So proxyIsRunning always was set as "False"...
It's fixed now...

Now, there is something wrong with the named pipes implementation - the named pipe is created, but the "open" command in WriteFlvFile errors.

Do you have a working named-pipes solution on Windows ?

Thanks

Who cares about windows, release it anyway Joke aside, if I understood right predakanga's code should work on linux in theory it just got some messed up captions? Are you planning to update your git code predakanga?

@AddonScriptorDE how to enter the proxy address for your add on??

I didn't see proxy setting in this add on ?

The proxy qurben is talking about is actually an internal one to make the Akamai streams work properly. There is no proxy for the enduser in the eurovision addon.

Is it also possible with this proxy to watch hulu streams outside the US?

it isn't that kind of proxy. It is only for a specific type of streaming that some providers have started using.

It doesn't bypass any restrictions from geo-checks. It just calculates the correct token to allow you to continue streaming. This required re-serving the data over a local http server because we needed to parse data from the video.

@Bluecop Thanks for your answer.

I've made some progress on the named pipe and discovered that mplayer DOES support named pipes on Windows.

So I first do this:

Quote:flv = win32pipe.CreateNamedPipe(r'\\.\pipe\bbcsport.flv', win32pipe.PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX, win32pipe.PIPE_TYPE_BYTE | win32pipe.PIPE_READMODE_BYTE | win32pipe.PIPE_WAIT, 50, 4096, 4096, 10000, None)
win32pipe.ConnectNamedPipe(flv, None)

Then I write to flv:

Quote:win32file.WriteFile(flv, flvHeader)

And then write the data:

Quote:win32file.WriteFile(flv, flvData)

I connect mplayer to the pipe:

Quote:mplayer \\.\pipe\bbcsport.flv

Problem. MPlayer starts; at least it says "FLV File Detected" which means it sees the FLVHeader, but it doesn't get any further than that, even though the download script is still writing to the named pipe.

I am thinking that win32file.WriteFile may be the wrong mode, but it is the only way I can see of writing to the named pipe ?

Do you have any ideas !
