Hi,

I would like to play a blu-ray stream with:

player = XBMCPlayer()
player.play(videofile)


It works, but the videofile is: "bluray://udf%3a%2f%2fL%253a%255cPython%255cTest_video_files%255cPeter%2520%2526%2520the%2520Wolf%2520(2006).BR.iso%2f/BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls"

I got this from playing the bluray, and then in onPlayBackStarted "videofile = self.getPlayingFile()"


How do I get from
"L:\Python\Test_video_files\Peter & the Wolf (2006).BR.iso /BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls"

to

"bluray://udf%3a%2f%2fL%253a%255cPython%255cTest_video_files%255cPeter%2520%2526%2520the%2520Wolf%2520(2006).BR.iso%2f/BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls"

?


Is there some sort of conversion function?

Thanks!

[ironic_monkey]

it's

bluray://[udf://[path to iso]]/BDMV/PLAYLIST/000000.mpls

here [] indicates an url encode operation.

Thank you! That's a golden tip.

Searched the forum and found:

Wil try this as soon as I have time...

I still can't solve it

I have this string from the debug log from Kodi:

bluray://udf%3a%2f%2fM%253a%255cPeter%2520%2526%2520the%2520Wolf%2520(2006).BR.iso%2f/BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls

If I give this string to the player.play, then it plays this bluray stream. So far everything works...

If I break this string into it's parts according:

bluray://[udf://[path to iso]]/BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls

here [] indicates an url encode operation.

I get (using same python version as Isengard):

Code:

>>> print sys.version
2.7.8 (default, Jun 30 2014, 16:03:49) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]

>>> import urllib

>>> urllib.unquote('udf%3a%2f%2fM%253a%255cPeter%2520%2526%2520the%2520Wolf%2520(2006).BR.iso%2f')
'udf://M%3a%5cPeter%20%26%20the%20Wolf%20(2006).BR.iso/'


>>> urllib.unquote('M%3a%5cPeter%20%26%20the%20Wolf%20(2006).BR.iso/')
'M:\\Peter & the Wolf (2006).BR.iso/'

'bluray://udf://'
'M:\\Peter & the Wolf (2006).BR.iso/'
'/BDMV/PLAYLIST/000000.mpls'

OK so far (I think...)

What I really need is the conversion the other way arround. In other words, I have a path to a bluray iso and a .mpls file I want to play.

This is the file (windows 7 CLI): 'M:\Peter & the Wolf (2006).BR.iso'

I convert this to: 'M:\\Peter & the Wolf (2006).BR.iso/'

Then my first encode. urlencode doesn't work:

Code:

>>> urllib.urlencode('M:\\Peter & the Wolf (2006).BR.iso/')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib.py", line 1318, in urlencode
    raise TypeError
TypeError: not a valid non-string sequence or mapping object

So I try quote:

Code:

>>> urllib.quote('M:\\Peter & the Wolf (2006).BR.iso/')
'M%3A%5CPeter%20%26%20the%20Wolf%20%282006%29.BR.iso/'

This is better, but not completely the same as what I expected. The '()' around 2006 are also escaped, and the last '/' is not escaped. Maybe better with the second encode?:

Code:

udf://M%3A%5CPeter%20%26%20the%20Wolf%20%282006%29.BR.iso/

>>> urllib.quote('udf://M%3A%5CPeter%20%26%20the%20Wolf%20%282006%29.BR.iso/')
'udf%3A//M%253A%255CPeter%2520%2526%2520the%2520Wolf%2520%25282006%2529.BR.iso/'

nope...

This gives me something else than what I needed/expected. It also doesn't work when I give it to player.play :
Expected:
bluray://udf%3a%2f%2fM%253a%255cPeter%2520%2526%2520the%2520Wolf%2520(2006).BR.iso%2f/BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls
Result:
bluray://udf%3A//M%253A%255CPeter%2520%2526%2520the%2520Wolf%2520%25282006%2529.BR.iso//BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls

So I'm stuck... Can somebody help me with this please?

Thanks!

Found it!

First of all is it not:

bluray://[udf://[path to iso]]/BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls

but:

bluray://[udf://[path to iso]/]/BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls


The following then gets the correct URL escaped string:

Code:

>>> urllib.quote('M:\\Peter & the Wolf (2006).BR.iso', safe='()')
'M%3A%5CPeter%20%26%20the%20Wolf%20(2006).BR.iso'
>>> urllib.quote('udf://M%3A%5CPeter%20%26%20the%20Wolf%20(2006).BR.iso/', safe='()')
'udf%3A%2F%2FM%253A%255CPeter%2520%2526%2520the%2520Wolf%2520(2006).BR.iso%2F'

This gives in the end:

bluray://udf%3A%2F%2FM%253A%255CPeter%2520%2526%2520the%2520Wolf%2520(2006).BR.iso%2F/BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls

And this is the string I wanted:

bluray://udf%3a%2f%2fM%253a%255cPeter%2520%2526%2520the%2520Wolf%2520(2006).BR.iso%2f/BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls
