I am using XBMC version 17141-jester and I use the dutch script XOT-Uzg.v3.2.0b2.

When I run a tv program for NET5 (e.g. Alleen maar een man -> Aflevering 11) I don't see anything happening.

The XBMC.log shows several warnings and errors.

Somebody knows what can be the reason for this?

[spiff]

yes. those files are .wmv

[michelch]

Does anyone have already a solution for this problem?

Full debug log to pastebin.

I played now another file than the initial submit, but the problem is the same. So it doesn't play correctly .wmv files.

[tslayer]

Does it work if you download it first and then try to play it?

[tslayer]

Actually, I think this is an mmsh stream (mms over http) and won't work with XBMC as we don't have an MMSH implementation yet.

[michelch]

Hello,

I downloaded the stream using 'Super', and here the details analyzed using the 'AVIcodec' program.

File: type ASF
Video: WMV3 (Windows Media Video 9)
Audio: Windows Media Audio 9.1

After downloading I can normally play the video file locally using XBMC, pointing to the file locally on my local hard disk.

So, probably it has to do with the fact that this type of file can not be streamed over http?

When will this problem be solved.

[tslayer]

There is a trac ticket already for having mms over http. Currently, just not supported.

[michelch]

Do you know when the proper implementation will be implemented (mms over http)?

Are there any workarounds available to get this working for now (short term solution)?

I've got the same issue with mms://stream.cnl.tv/cnl-ukr (and there are also few similar URLs). Tried mplayer with that URL - it tried to connect to 62.128.58.133:1755, failed, then connected to 62.128.58.133:80 and started to play. 3 days ago it played well with XBMC but now it fails. I have that URL in Favourites for ages, now tried to change mms://stream.cnl.tv/cnl-ukr into http://stream.cnl.tv/cnl-ukr or into mms://stream.cnl.tv:80/cnl-ukr. first one fails the same way, trying still mms despite of http in URI (but showing that http in error message):

22:59:47 T:3023419264 M:1379495936 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: Opening: mms://stream.cnl.tv/cnl-ukr

23:00:09 T:3023419264 M:1379266560 ERROR: XBMC.PlayMedia could not play media: http://stream.cnl.tv/cnl-ukr

when URI is in second form then XBMC successfully opens the stream but sends nothing to it and fails after timeout about 3 minutes:

23:00:13 T:3023419264 M:1379266560 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: Opening: mms://stream.cnl.tv:80/cnl-ukr

Tell me if I can help with that but I need to watch that URI in XBMC really much.
