@enen92 Could be possible to add a "Player start delay" option to Acestream in the same way as Sopcast?

What for? The engine only returns the playable url when the stream is ready so there is no logic in doing that

[Meiden]

No I didn't. I tested raspbian and openelec. Rascas tested osmc and pipplware and they both worked the same way. p2p-streams is in a different location so there is no influence with plexus. Also, p2p-streams didn't work on the pi2. You sure you have enough space on your sdcard?
There is no way right now to delete the cache from the addon nor to remove the cache files on stop (it's work in progress) so it has to be done manually.

I'm from Spain. No problem with streams or p2p via PC. I noticed that the problem only appears during "peak hours" (you know), so you should try a certain stream that I can give you via pm in order to try to replicate the issue.

missed that!!
It might be that! thank you. I'll go check it out

Couldnt this be a problem too ?

sh: /bin/netstat: not found
sh: /sbin/ifconfig: not found

No it isn't, that is android related stuff also happens on certain android roms. Not all of them have those tools.
Meiden pm me the acestream hash.

i'm on OSMC too
all playing nice (acestream and sopcast).

only problem with 1080p acestream when i get to >1000mb dowloading, as i reported earlier.

I was trying right now a 1080p acestream channel and the same issue happened: frozen screen after have reached 1000mb download size.

I'm using openelec 5.95.4 Beta, raspberry pi 2.

[enen92]

I am affraid I can't reproduce that as well. First it took me almost 30 minutes to get to the 1000mb mark (it is not that "small ammount of time"). Then, it continued to work flawlessly (and to be more precise it still is).
I am now near the 1800mb download mark..



PS: Upload rate is low since my port is not forwarded to the pi.
PS2: Just passed the 2000mb mark with 1 hour of playback without a single glitch to be honest. Not that I can do anything buffer related or in the way the engines work (they are closed source).

[grey]

what bitrate is the stream?
mine was smth like 5000 kbps

It's between 4000 and 5000kbps.

[Meiden]

I tried it again. 1080p stream. I've reached 1103, and the screen froze again like this:



The image is still like that. Playback time is something around 25 minutes. No response from IR remote, keyboard, or samba/ssh.

PS: If you need the logs (either kodi or acestream) I can provide them to you.

are these errors okay?

[baba420]

Grey, can you PM me the acestream hash so I can test it on my RPi2, too?

[neno1978]

Enen, one question about next OS X release. What's about sopcast? Clean functionality or the old p2pstrem workaround?

The ones related to android are. I say they "are" due to the intrinsic nature of how the addon is getting the engine to work, not that these errors are normal as if they were supposed to happen.
You are not running a full android rom/system, you're running linux and chrooting into an android filesystem. That being said, you don't have access to stuff like the android property service or the netd stack. Despite those errors, the engine works properly and does it job. Plus one can't just change code or even check what exactly is being done on those lines due to the fact that the acestream engine is closed source!.

PS: I think I reproduced or faced the error at 1000 kbs. I don't think this is related to the 1000kbs mark but for some reason the addon is sending a shutdown command to the engine.

Hi enen92

i just wanted to thank you for all the work
havent tried so many streams so far but for now everything seems stable

read its work in progress so it can only get better

design is also cool as many other users said here

keep up

cheers
