Hi enen!

One question for clarification since I din't find nothing related to the following: which is the video format of the streams of AceStream and SopCast? Or is there nay other specific characteristic that can identify/distinguisc a video from AceStream or SopCast with respect to the other video files (e.g. mkv, avi, mp4, etc.).

I'm asking this question since I use DSPlayer for my video playback (I find usefull to use external filters sometimes to enhcance the quality) but for AceStream/SopCast I would use the internal DVDPlayer of XBMC/Kodi. Therefore I need a rule to distinguish between the two. Actually the rules can be defined according to attributes listed at the following link http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=External_players.

Looking forward for your kind usual help!

Cheers!

For sopcast is pretty easy as the link you send to the player is always the same: http://127.0.0.1:8902/tv.asf
For acestreams you can grab the port which seems to be always the same (6878) so all the links you play are like localhost:6878/something.
Not sure if you can create a rule based on the video url. Probably a good idea to add a possibility (disabled by default) to choose dvd player as the player in windows for this addon.

Thanks a lot enen for your attention and explaination!

Do you think that the attribute "protocol" would help?

Another solution could be for sure the one you suggested...do you think it is an easy implementatio?

Cheers,

Hi Guys!

I've tried to work this out myself but sadly no luck so joined the forum in the hope someone can help.

I have P2P streams successfully working on my laptop with the following setup

MacBook OSX 10.9
XBMC 12.3 Frodo
P2P 1.0.7

Here's the problem! I have the following setup on my MacMini but can't get P2P streams to work. 30 second count down then error message 'AceStream Can't connect'

MacMini 10.8.5
XBMC 12.3 Frodo
P2P 1.0.7

I can't work out why one works and one doesn't??

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

So I've just tried an old 2007 Mac Mini I have running Snow Leopard, installed latest version of 'Kodi' and P2P streams work fine!!!?

How come my newer Mac Mini running 10.8.5 can't connect!?

Some problem either with the apsw module or the sqlite you have in your system.

If I'm honest I'm not really sure what they are without researching. Can I remove, update or replace them!?

Hi All,
So after heaps of playing around finally managed to get it working - I had to disable my proxy (socks5 in connections settings - have internet access works fine for everything else)

Looking through my log I keep getting errors such as:

19:44:01 T:140160737990400 ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: Couldn't connect to server(7)
19:44:01 T:140160737990400 ERROR: CCurlFile::CReadState::Connect, didn't get any data from stream.
19:44:01 T:140160737990400 ERROR: Open - failed to open source <http://127.0.0.1:6878/content/8b75005ccce921f5bc2c9237d45b7f940f6fa481/0.783415270475>
19:44:01 T:140160737990400 ERROR: CDVDPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening [http://127.0.0.1:6878/content/8b75005ccc...3415270475]

Its connecting to peers / downloading - everything looks good but it wont start the video over my proxy...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced.

My bet is on an outdated or absent sqlite in your system. Install brew and install sqlite3 from it.

To install brew:

Code:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

To install sqlite:

Code:

brew install sqlite3

When you say 'system' do you mean operating system? Are those links for OSX?

Sorry for newbie questions, I appreciate your help

Hi

I have this issue with acestream where I can't watch any stream, it just keeps buffering and then eventually stop. I've opened my ports on my router and used recommended settings for tweaking the advanced setting but I can't seem to get it working. Any suggestions?

I am running it on my raspberry pi with openelec

Yes, apsw is just a python wrapper for sqlite. The only reason I'm guessing for it to be failing is on sqlite side (osx).
By the way what is the name of the osx version you are running on the mac mini? I won't get there by numbers just wondering if you're using the developer preview of the new os.

Currently running official release of Mountain Lion.......could updating to 10.9 Maverick potentially fix the issue?

I'm getting the same problems with OPenElec on a Intel NUC Celeron 847.

Starts, buffers and then fails.

Would be grateful for any help.

I've tried the settings recommended in this thread regarding opening ports, changing the advanced settings etc but without any success.
