Plugin: PlayOn in Online Services (Hulu, Netflix, Amazon VOD, etc.)

[gplasky]

Don't know. I play it on a HD200 and a PC client. Anything showing up on the PC client would have to do with drivers and decoders installed there. I would choose different decoders and see what happens. And make sure source is chosen. Do you have ffdshow installed? If you do uninstall it.

So for example, the old/original Star Trek show is published on CBS (and shows up in hulu.com, but just redirects you to CBS). I'd love to be able to add this. . .but no that this thread is so big its very cumbersome to look through it all. . .

[gabe1475]

Is there any way to get the online content on the HD 200 in stand alone mode or do we have to wait for an update?

[evilpenguin]

Well... maybe? Its possible to compile this tool for x86 Linux for PC's, but i'm not sure about ARM Linux for the HD200

I'm super busy right now so I don't have the time, but if someone else were to post a guide I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,

Yep, I can see it too. I made some more changes to the base UPnP package in 1.5 to fix some serious Netflix bugs but it must have broken this particular case somehow .

Debugging at that level is incredibly time consuming so for now i'd say just let me know any feeds that are breaking for you and i'll remove them via the feed updater.

question though regarding the integration. So i got my PS3 Netflix disc in the mail and i now have "HD" content from netflix available. Will Playon pick up the HD content and allow me to get it on my Sage Setup? Or, is the HD content limited to the "authorized" device with netflix?

Nope, PlayOn only has access to the same content you have available to you via a browser i.e. no HD.

Goog that this is reproducable. I hope you being busy is also good

Nothing too exciting, for other people at least, i'm just doing some remodeling in my place

As for Sage stuff, i'm kinda in a holding pattern until Sage gets a chance to look at a few of my feature requests. I've got some ideas for expanding the Online Service menu to make it more powerful tool for creating STV independent plug-ins with zero Studio development.

Always a lot of work when that is going on. Last year I had to do some "forced remodeling" due to severe termite damage. Half of the front of my house had to be replaced and it all happened right through the holidays. My wife wants me to setup the Christmas tree THIS WEEKEND since we barely set it up last year due to the upheaval in the house. I thought about saying no and then I remembered those all-too-true words: A happy wife means a happy life and if Mama isn't happy nobody is happy. Needless to say I will be busy setting up the Christmas tree this weekend.

*Known Issue*
A few of the Shows now have Season Subcategories, but I haven't figured that out yet.

Hi, I am going nuts trying to figure this stuff out - slow learning curve. So I am using the HGTV as an example.

I am trying to use the PBS plugin and using Arthur as an example to try and get some shows to come in. I try:

xFeedPodcastCustom/PBS_Arthur=xPodcast_PBS_PlugIn;external,UPnP2Podcast,PlayOn:PBS:^Arthur$:+2

But i get no videos listed after i click on the subcat. Anyone setup PBS w/ the plugin and could maybe show me how they get it working? Thanks

Did you add it to the UIText file as well?

Yes, I added a UIText file taking from the original HGTV file, but changing all the references and putting in the Arthur show.

seems like the PBS plugin is not working right now. will try another one to use.

My ultimate goal is to get the PlayonLive plugin to work, but wanted to get some set ones first.

I don't think that one will work as things are now. There is discussion of it in some previous pages of this thread. At the very least, it will require rewriting of the PlayOn scripts themselves, not just Sage file customizations....

Getting nothing showing up, blank screens. Was missing the ieshims.dll and moved it into the correct directory. Had another missing called GPSVC.dll and have no clue what to do with that one.

Also I see a lot of people talking about UPnPInspector.exe but I cannot find a link anywhere? I am also using a Wii and have that connecting to the PLayon server fine.

Thanks

Thanks. Ran that and could navigate to the playon server and find my Hulu content.

So the issue could be dependancy of "ct.dll" which says it is missing a file called "GPSVC.DLL"? Googling that says it has something to do with Group policy.

I am running 64-bit by the way.

Thanks

I set this up and had it running perfectly this weekend with Hulu & Netflix, but today, I can only watch on netflix, everything I select under Hulu tells me the video isn't available. Is there anything I need to do to refresh the RSS feed data, or does it do this periodically?
