"git pull git://github.com/cptspiff/xbmc.git hls" would achieve what you couldn't figure out Smile

Ta and noted...

Also - I guess this won't get pulled into the master until the stream selection logic is worked out?

**spiff** · 2011-05-12 18:43

correct.

Thanks for the help. This was my first time using Git and compiling anything and it went flawlessly. Now I just need to hope for an updated AirPlayer that allows for proper resumption and timeline scrubbing.

Bump for status.

I'd like to know what is needed from ffmpeg and to what degree this branch currently works. Does stream selection not work at all, or does it only work with limitations?

Thanks.

hi, read the patch.

Just thought I'd add an update for those interested in this - looks like m3u8 playlists are recognised and played by XBMC now. Been using it to playback some HLS streams without and problem.

I guess that ffmpeg is able to detect and decode the streams, but I'm not sure about rate-adaptive stream selection (all the streams I've been playing back are single bitrate only).

Anyway, it works and I'm happy Smile

without supporting code, you will be using a random stream variant (first encountered) AND you will be downloading all the streams as there's no code to disable those you don't want..

Thanks for the confirmation. My plugin only requests single streams, so I should be safe, but i'll keep an eye out.

Cheers
