That linux script plays italian television, but it requires wget (useragent is necessary because the mms url are dinamically set, and you need to behave as a browser, you need to be a fake web browser ) and some grep/head/sed stuff.

Could you help me converting it?

grab this and try it as a video plugin

i think i am grabbing processing the same urls that the perl script is. I don't think i can play the videos because they are geo locked. i just get region lock videos or a little 3 second demo. let me know if they work for you.

there are alot more videos in that xml though. i don't know Italian so i don't what the other stuff is.

edit:
i made some changes and added a subdirectory that lists the other videos from the xml.
download

i got the rainews24 video working. it doesn't seem to be geolocked

Thank you!
RaiNews works here too, and the "altri video" (other videos) subdir too.
The main channels (RaiUno, Raidue, Raitre -> RaiOne, RaiTwo, Raithree) shows just 3 seconds of a banner (while the bash script works fine).
how to get some debug?

[Cimi]

judging from the bash script, it seems there's another step to do:

wget -U "$USERAGENT" -O $LAST $TMP
VIDEO=$(cat $LAST | cut -d'"' -f4)

this is used to get the video after the banner...

I will see what i can do. i don't really know perl or python so i am not sure what i am doing. I will look a little closer and try to figure it out.

basically the issue with your script is that you grab (for example, RaiUno: http://mediapolis.rai.it/relinker/relink...m?cont=983) and send it to the player. But this url should be re-downloaded with the user agent before sending it to the player, so it cointains the right mms stream.

• No useragent (wget http://mediapolis.rai.it/relinker/relink...m?cont=983):
  

  <ASX VERSION="3.0"> <ENTRY> <REF HREF="http://www.banneradmin.rai.it/ads/siparietti/buona_visioneMed_Progautopromo.wmv" /> </ENTRY> </ASX>

• Useragent (wget -U "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011912 Firefox/3.0.6" http://mediapolis.rai.it/relinker/relink...m?cont=983):
  

  <ASX VERSION="3.0"><ENTRY><REF HREF="mms://livestream.rai.it.edgestreams.net/reflector:64084?auth=daEbYdJcKbDb1d_bZcubibtaoceaac2dIdH-bj8a1H-b4-AmwwxFw&aifp=V001" /></ENTRY></ASX>

i thought that was the problem but i tried downloading with the correct user agent and processing the ASX for the mms url and it still gave me the http://www.banneradmin.rai.it/ads/sipari...opromo.wmv url. it might just be that i am located in the US. i will upload a modified version shortly for you to test

[BlueCop]

try this
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?kw2dfg31n22

it just gives me the same 3 second preview url.

when you try this version could you post you debug logs to pastebin or some other service so i can see what the asx file data you are retrieving. i added some extra debugging output.

[Cimi]

how can i get the debug?

I've seen from the debug logs that I get the non-useragent URL, so I guess the useragent request to urllib2 didn't work.

[BlueCop]

i understand but i asked you to post the log because i wanted to see it.

this should work

haven't seen yours yet, but this works here:

Code:

def getHTML( url ):

        print 'Rai Italian Tv --> getHTML :: url = '+url
        opener = urllib2.build_opener()
    opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011912 Firefox/3.0.6')]
    response = opener.open(url)
        link=response.read()
        response.close()
        return link

EDIT: your works too!!! it's the linux useragent, then.
