Dailymotion video's not working

sansat · 2010-03-29 11:00

Hello ,

I am not able to play Dailymotion videos via XBMC. It looks like they have changed the video file to .mp4 with source of video files as below:

http://proxy-58.dailymotion.com/video/59...c0&cache=0

http://proxy-69.dailymotion.com/video/79...1b&cache=0

Any idea on how to play videos from dailymotion ? Does it work with any new code ?

Please help

Thanks

Yes, this has been solved by updating ffmpeg :-)
Done in r28729.
But svn trunk is still unstable (especially for plugins). The best is probably to wait until the addons part is ready.

Thanks for your reply.

Do you have any updated code for Daily motion video which I can use in the plug-in, as the source of the video file is different now from the previous one.

Please let me know.

Thanks

I'm not parsing dailymotion directly.
I'm just getting a dailymotion link (like the one in your first post) while parsing another website because that's where the videos are hosted.
It's a french website (arretsurimages.net) that requires a subscription. Probably not very high audience among XBMC users :-) Will try to release it as an addon when I'm done.
But don't think this code would help you.

I used to use below code in my plugin to get video from dailymotion site, but after the change done by dailymotion, below code does not get me the source of video, so was wondering if any change can be done to below code to get the source of video ?

Code:

#DAILYMOTION

                try:

                                daily=re.compile('<param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/(.+?)">').findall(link)

                                req = urllib2.Request('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/%s'%daily[0])

                                req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14')

                                response = urllib2.urlopen(req).read()

                                match=re.compile('url=rev=.+?&lang=en&callback=.+?&preview=.+?&video=(.+?)%40%40spark').findall(response)

                                print match[0]

                                addLink('Play '+name,urllib.unquote(match[0]),"")

Please let me know.

Thanks

i've tried to find it while doing my noob web series video plugin, but didn't manage to get a readeable link, if switch to another source.
all lead me to permission screen

Here a valid video URL I found:
http://proxy-04.nyc.dailymotion.com/18/8...291838ba16

i've got error:

yes, I think the last part of the url "auth=1270099898-83bb55f0f19e93f7aadd5d291838ba16" depend on the current session.
But the 1st part allow to get the video.
I got this url with a sniffer, but I didn't dig too much in order to see how they build it.

One thing you can try is to look for the iphone video.
If you have a link like http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/<id>, get the <id> (like in your code) and try to open http://iphone.dailymotion.com/video/<id>
On that page you should be able to get the video link with something like:

Code:

BeautifulSoup(html).find(type="video/x-m4v")['href']

You won't get the best quality video available, but you get around the flash problem.
