As I said I don't use mixcloud but you have confirmed what I expected - mixcloud doesn't play well with MP4 support in LMS 8.* . Have you checked why the Mixcloud MP4 URL I copied which plays OK with VLC and doesn't with play in LMS 8.* which hasn't mixcloud plugin installed (i.e. so all the parseHeader etc. stuff is irrelevant) ? https://stream6.mixcloud.com/secure/c/m4a/64/2/6/0/6/442f-d95a-4b49-a3a1-8c1c59ed1186.m4a?sig=oP6RGk-Bo-2rKvOpYVPOTQ I agree - I think Mixcloud plugin cpould be simplified. The plugin manages to find a source which has a JSON response of track details. The JSON response has 3 playable URLs (HLS/fMP4, DASH and HTTP/MPEG4) which means the plugin should just provide a playlist of applicable URLs to LMS and then so could remove all the special stream handling code. A stopgap would be to provide variants of PlayMP4 to use ffmpeg to play HLS/fMP4 stream or maybe to proper PlayMP4 support for 8.* (i.e. override all LMS 8.* - extreme as I think loses more than it gains) . Coincidentally, when time allows, I'm working on enhancing PlayHLS to enable the playHLS plugin to natively play HLS /fMP4 and also a PlayDASH plugin to play stream with suffix "mpd" and mime "application/dash+xml". These additions would enable mixcloud just to pass URLs to LMS to play - although metadata would still be up to mixcloud to maintain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88286 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
