Veoh High Quality Streaming Proxy - Nearly Working - Help needed!

VeohProxy is now on google code with a much improved version:
http://code.google.com/p/veohproxy/

The MPlayer problem is still pretty much unsolved. The only way I could get it to work was patching the default.xbe. I searched for "-forceidx" in a hex editor and changed that to "-noidx", followed by 0-Bytes.
When writing a plugin, playing via DVDPlayer is not possible: The automatic detection of the player even forbids the user to choose DVDPlayer in the context menu. I fixed this by appending "?extension=.avi" to the stream URL. Maybe there is an extension that DVDPlayer is the default player for?

When I want to launch the video with XBMC.Player.Play(), this is also not working, I think Python gets confused when two scripts are running at the same time. It becomes so slow that the player closes the stream.

You can force player from python. Check apple trailer script it does so.

mplayer aught to seek first to eof (must succeed and return 0 bytes read not error) then directly to the idx chunk i should think.

This also happens even if I force any of the players.

I could not see the seek to EOF in the logs yet. That's odd. I will investigate further.

Is there any file extension that I could append to the stream URL so DVDPlayer is automatically launched? As I said, launching it from a python script doesn't work - python becomes horribly slow for some reason and the stream won't start to play. So I need a way to launch the stream with DVDPlayer.

Hmm, doesn't work. It still uses mplayer. Maybe it doesn't work this way. But then it's weird that when I added "?.somefiletype" to the URL I got to choose DVDPlayer in via context menu. This had influence.
Any ideas on how to get DVDPlayer to play the files?

Set the content type in proxy to video/x-msvideo instead of application/x-msvideo. Then xbmc will know this is a video file.

Hi!

I downloaded: http://theendofthelongestline.de/veohproxy.zip

I put in in the script folder of my XBMC (I never used the script before)

I tried to run it from XBMC and it just shows (running) nxt to the folder name...

Anyone know why I cannot run it?

Thanks!
