just playing "rtmp://"

I didn't know there was a choice of entering in the form: 
"iplayer://live?flashaac=rtmp://..."   ?Where is all that
documented?

Also, applying the same modifications made last week to the
ElBernamegElOrobi stream for the BBC iPlayer to the other ERTU streams,
I can confirm that the modifications worked for Pernamegaam, SharkAwsat,
ElBernamegElMouusekey and Aghani.   I couldn't get SootArab to work. I
don't know if that channel has unique issues, or if I made a syntax or
coding error that I still can't identify.

Here is the URL which works from the script:

I was mimicking the version that was succesfully used with the old URL.
I wasn't aware that it had changed to AAC.

I just replaced the .MP3 with .AAC and *PROBLEM SOLVED*. Thank you

I do understand that they broadcast through satellite too, but their

As I write, the rtmp stream is up, the M3U8 stream is down.

I'm not sure what to make of that.  The station is definitely still
broadcasting. And announces itself as Radio Cairo 95.4 FM.  The website
link seems to be oriented to describing what is heard to terrestrial
radio, [FM, AM, SW]. Since I don't reside in Egypt, I cannot verify that
they do or don't broadcast on that frequency, though I'd be surprised if
they don't. 

On the other hand their FB page
(https://www.facebook.com/pg/Radio-Cairo-954-FM-351934915280125/about )
and some of their announcers keep on referring to egradio.eg though it
has been down for a while.

I thought you had developed the BBC iPlayer plugin for LMS,  and I have
not updated it since the time I first used it. So I thought all the code
for transcoding was inside the plugin, and that it didn't call up on the
BBC's digital infrastructure.


bpa wrote: 
> Why bother with a dead and insecure protocol when there is MP3 and m3u8.

That's a very good question. ERTU added M3U8 streams last October, but
they did not shut off the rtmp streams. Both streams are frequently
down, ie. offline, but the M3U8 streams are down more frequently, so
good to get the rtmp as backup.



bpa wrote:

The egradio.eg domain has been down since late Feb, early March, but the
streams still run.   In fact, this is what clued me in that the
parameters referring to flash, and to the page the links were embedded
in were superfluous.

I wrote scripts to play them on my computers. Here are links to those
scripts:

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Playing rtmp streams on Squeezebox Radio using BBC iPlayer for transcoding

2020-04-14 Thread George_C


Hi all, especially bpa

Three, or so years ago, bpa helped me get the rtmp steam of the"European
Service" of Egypt's state radio to play on my Squeezebox by encoding the
parameters of the options in the URL to Base64 so as to be read by the
BBC iPlayer.   Last summer the URLs of that radio service changed. Here
is the revised URL, which I verified to play using both rtmpdump and
ffplay.


Code:

rtmp://livestreaming5.onlinehorizons.net/ElBernamegElOrobi  -a 
ElBernamegElOrobi  -f WIN 32,0,0,270   -w 
http://www.egradio.eg/our_extentions/egplayer/swf/flowplayer-3.2.18.swf -p 
http://egradio.eg/our_extentions/egplayer/ -v-y livestream



Encoded to Base 64 for BBC iPlayer, it looks like this:

Code:


rtmp://livestreaming5.onlinehorizons.net?streamname=bGl2ZXN0cmVhbQ==&app=RWxCZXJuYW1lZ0VsT3JvYmk=&live=MQ==&swfurl=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5lZ3JhZGlvLmVnL291cl9leHRlbnRpb25zL2VncGxheWVyL3N3Zi9mbG93cGxheWVyLTMuMi4xOC5zd2Y=&tcurl=cnRtcDovL2xpdmVzdHJlYW1pbmc1Lm9ubGluZWhvcml6b25zLm5ldC9FbEJlcm5hbWVnRWxPcm9iaQ==&pageurl=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5lZ3JhZGlvLmVnL291cl9leHRlbnRpb25zL2VncGxheWVyLw==&.mp3



I did some tests using rtmpdump that confirmed to me that only the -a
[app] and -y [playpath] options are required.

Code:

rtmp://livestreaming5.onlinehorizons.net  -a ElBernamegElOrobi   -y 
livestream



which when encoded to Base64 look like this:

Code:


rtmp://livestreaming5.onlinehorizons.net?streamname=bGl2ZXN0cmVhbQ==&app=RWxCZXJuYW1lZ0VsT3JvYmk=&.mp3



I also verified that including the two option parameters as part of the
URL works. In that instance, there is no need to encode.

Code:

rtmp://livestreaming5.onlinehorizons.net/ElBernamegElOrobi/livestream?.mp3




Yet, none of these "play" to the SqueezeBox Radio, ie. no audio

I initially, focussed on a faulty encoding, (e.g. wrong syntax) being
the source of the problem, and that could still be.  However, I noticed
on the LMS UI that the URL shows as playing. 

See for example in the screen grab below how the time played iis
displayed as 1:03.  What then could be the reason for no audio? I do
get excellent audio for regular mp3 and M3U8 streams. Are there settings
for the BBC iPlayer plugin that I may have messed up ?

All help is appreciated.

I tried the method I posted earlier for KHTP and failed. In this case,
the station wouldn't play on its page
(https://player.radio.com/listen/station/hot-1037) on the radio.com
site; and I got "Stream error" instead. In the case of WGRAM, the
station played successfully on the radio.com site.

The bottom line (I think) is that while the app itself is blocked in
Canada, the radio.com website blocks some stations and not others.  

Maybe someone in the US could try the method I posted for KHTP and post
the URL of the direct stream. Of course that doesn't ensure that it will
play outside the US.

Hi all,

The CBC app for the Logitech Media Server (LMS),  still posted in the
App Gallery at https://mysqueezebox.com/appgallery no longer works. I
know the CBC made lots of changes in their feeds, but after an

radio and music streams.   

Is there any chance to expect the same for the CBC app for LMS ?

Actually, nothing new. I found this strange workaround requiring the
syncing of two radio players a year or so ago after you first solved my
rtmp problem,  then got busy with other stuff and did not listen to that
station for a while, and forgot about the workaround.  In October of
this year, I received a Security advisory from QNAP that they
"identified an attack that possibly exploits known vulnerabilities in
earlier QTS versions", and recommending that users install Malware
Remover 3.3.0 app  on their NAS. I installed it and ran it, and it
removed a file, but I couldn't tell what. I falsely assumed that it was
related to your previous mod to the BBCiPlayer. So later when I tried
again playing that Radio Cairo rtmp stream and it failed I made the
wrong connection, and asked your help again. In effect nothing had
changed; the remaining problem was the same, namely the weird need to
sync both radio players for either one to play.

Indeed there were spaces. I removed them and that made no difference.
For the record, while I refer here to a single ERTU radio station, I had
in fact created favorites in my LMS to several of the other ERTU
stations (in Arabic) that all behave in the same manner.

I don't see that error message. From my monitoring of the station, the
stream appears to have been relatively stable for the last week, i.e.
since December 23.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC iPlayer - RTMP for non-BBC streams

2018-12-12 Thread George_C

Hello again bpa,

BACKGROUND
I posted earlier in the old thread that the fix you offered a year or so
ago, to stream [Egyptian Radio & Television Union] ERTU audio to the
Squeezebox Radio didn't work anymore. I was wrong, but a strange issue
persists.

Let me explain.

The stream in question is the Local European service of Radio Cairo (and
similar streams from ERTU: egradio.eg). 

The URL is:

Code:

rtmp://liveRadio.onlinehorizons.net/ElBernamegElOrobi   -W 
http://lr.onlinehorizons.net/player.swf -p 
http://lr.onlinehorizons.net/ElBernamegElOrobi.html -v  -y livestream -B 10



The URL processed by the BBC iPlayer plugin and entered as a favorite in
LMS is 

Code:

rtmp://liveRadio.onlinehorizons.net:1935?streamname=bGl2Z 
XN0cmVhbQ==&app=RWxCZXJuYW1lZ0VsT3JvYmk=&live=MQ== 
&swfurl=aHR0cDovL2xyLm9ubGluZWhvcml6b25zLm5ldC9wbG 
F5ZXIuc3dm&tcurl=cnRtcDovL2xpdmVSYWRpby5vbmxpbmVob 
3Jpem9ucy5uZXQvRWxCZXJuYW1lZ0VsT3JvYmk=&pageurl=aH 
R0cDovL2xyLm9ubGluZWhvcml6b25zLm5ldC9FbEJlcm5hbWVn RWxPcm9iaS5odG1s&.mp3



As bpa explained, the BBCiPlayer "uses base64 encoding of the various
params so it can be internally passed transparently" hence the
conversion.

The next part of the solution was to replace the rtmp.pm file in the
plugin with a modified version bpa provided which supports the pageurl
parameter (not used for BBC streams).

THE STRANGE PROBLEM
The result then as now, is that bpa's solution would not work right
away. When I tried to play on an SB radio, I'd get 'Connection reset by
remote host' on the Radio display, and on the LMS display, it would stop
trying to play after a few seconds.

But then and only by chance, I found out that if I synchronized my two
SBs to play together, I could start the stream on either of them and the
playback would work on both.  I could then turn off the player I didn't
need to keep on. This I found to be a very strange workaround.

SYSTEM INFORMATION
Additional details:

My Logitech Media Server (LMS) Version 7.7.2  is installed on a QNAP
212P running QTS version 4.3.3.0724. QTS is based on Linux

>From  LMS Settings (Information Tab)
Operating system: SSOTS 4.x (QNAP TurboStation) - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: armv5tel-linux
Perl Version: 5.10.0 - armv5tel-linux-thread-multi
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1)
Total Players Recognized: 2

The two identical Squeezebox Radios (Upstairs and Downstairs) are as
follows:

Downstairs
Player Model: Squeezebox Radio
Firmware: 7.7.3-r16676
Player IP Address: 192.168.1.158
Player MAC Address: 00:04:20:2b:13:b5


Upstairs
Player Model: Squeezebox Radio
Firmware: 7.7.3-r16676
Player IP Address: 192.168.1.157
Player MAC Address: 00:04:20:27:29:4e

TWO ADDITIONAL POINTS:
  
- The streams at egradio.eg are very unreliable. They are offline days
  on in a row and come back to life without explanation. Indeed, there
  reliability is getting worse. Some of them seem permanently dead. As
  to the “European Program”, it is the third down on the right at
  http://egradio.eg/our_extentions/egplayer/.
- I know my LMS (v 7.7.2 ) is out of date. It even says that 7.7.6 is
  available to download. But my version of LMS is QNAP specific and was
  downloaded the QNAP App store. There may be upgrade paths but I
  haven’t explored them.
  

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello again bpa,

Your fix worked for a long time, but several months ago it stopped
working.  I don't know what exactly happened. Yesterday, I reinstalled
the BBCiPlayer (now v2.0.0) and replaced RTMP.pm with your version. But
that still doesn't work.Can you suggest a checklist of things to
look for?   

Thx

Just checked this thread again  Try:
http://18073.live.streamtheworld.com/WGRAM.mp3

How did I identify it:

In this case:-
  
- Opened WGR's page: https://wgr550.radio.com/
- Clicked on "Listen" in top right corner
- Clicked on "Listen Live" . This opens
  https://player.radio.com/listen/station/wgr-sports
- Right click anywhere (??) on the page and choose "Inspect" . A new
  window will open on the right with a lot of code.  [I'm using Chrome,
  but there are probably equivalent features in other browsers].
- Select "Network" from the top menu of the window on the right. 
  "Media" will be selected in the second row below the top level
  (containing the selected "Network")
- Press the Play button visible in the window on the left
  (https://player.radio.com/listen/station/wgr-sports). 
- Immediately the audio URL will appear under "Name" in the left
  column of the right window.
- Select that URL. Right click on it, Select "Copy", the "Copy link
  address" from the submenu.
- Paste the link in your browser (or better still in a media player
  like vlc.com). The copied link address is
  
https://17473.live.streamtheworld.com/WGRAM.mp3?SRC=CBS&DIST=CBS&TGT=cbslocalplayer&tdsdk=js-2.9&pname=TDSdk&pversion=2.9&banners=none%2Cnone%2Cnone&sbmid=b99879d7-df7a-4213-d7b5-ab050f315d34
  
- This will play. But all that is needed is the first part ending
  before the "?".
- This leaves https://17473.live.streamtheworld.com/WGRAM.mp3   This
  will play in browsers and media players.
- For adding this URL as a favorite in Logitech Media Server, remove
  the 's' from https, and you get
  http://18073.live.streamtheworld.com/WGRAM.mp3
  

Try this process with WGR, or other radio website.  I don't promise that
it will always work, as different problems require different
solutions..

No version of VLC is offered in the QNAP App store.   I googled and
found some users found way to install it anyway. I'll try to do the same

My LMS version is  7.7.6 running on a QNAP TS-212P, QTS 4.3.3. I can't
tell what Linux distro QTS is based on, but seen reference to Busybox.

LMS 7.7.6 seems to be the latest version running on this platform.

Thanks bpa...

I don't think you need Arabic for that. But here is a similar site in
English: NileTV International
https://www.maspero.eg/wps/portal/home/tv/channels/niletv

The URL of the actual video stream is 
https://msertupoc.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/e30cee7e-dbf9-42b2-9070-031f9f8fa508/b0bc4ae6-2ee9-47cc-a610-d0a35c01220b.ism/manifest(format=mpd-time-csf)

How did I get these URLs ? Using Applian's Replay Media Catcher (RMC). (
http://applian.com/replay-media-catcher/ ). Basically, started RMC,
placed it on 'Auto', played the stream on maspero.eg, and checked the
properties of the recording which include the URL of the stream.   

What do you mean by "What is the precedent ?" ?

Also, the stream I provided looks very similar to the MPEG-DASH example
among the Streaming URL Formats presented at
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-deliver-content-overview
. 

I recorded streams with RMC using these URLs, and the audio was fine.  I
don't care for the visualization associated with the audio which comes
as video. In the case of Nile TV International, I recognize that the
quality of the video stream is very poor, but it is what it is. You can
compare the quality playing the stream on vlc with the same stream on
the player in the hosting page so I don't think there is anything
incomplete about the URL

SO HOW TO SETUP A TRANSCODING APPLICATION.   ?

Thx again

[SlimDevices: Plugins] MPEG-DASH (Audio embedded in Video)

2018-07-21 Thread George_C

So I have an audio stream embedded in a video stream…  This is it:
https://msertupoc.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/2a9cfb90-d75c-4ecc-976a-4df4af14f91e/12ab7ccc-da6e-497c-abf6-099dabf44329.ism/manifest(format=mpd-time-csf)
It is ERTU’s (Egyptian Public Radio)  Song Channel.

The player where the video stream URL is extracted from is at
https://www.maspero.eg/wps/portal/home/radio/stations/radio-songs   I
have no idea why they embed an audio stream in a useless video stream,
but they do.

With some digging, I gather that this stream is in “MPEG-DASH format”...
(see:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-deliver-content-overview)


Now, I can play that stream directly on any browser or using VLC, and
can record it using VLC or Applian’s Replay Media Catcher.  

The challenge is to play it (and similar streams) on the Logitech
Squeezebox Radio. Adding the URL as a favorite in Logitech Media Server
(LMS) fails to play.   

Questions:
Is there a way for LMS and the Squeezebox Radio to play the audio and
ignore the video? or
Can a playable audio only direct stream URL be identified? 

All help is appreciated. Thx in advance

The question does not relate to the BBCiPlayer or to the Logitech
Squeezebox. It relates to Applian's Replay Media Catcher and how to
schedule with it recordings from rtmp streams.  So I'm reluctant to post
here.  If you suggest a more appropriate forum on another site  or on
this ste, that's where I will post.

That 16 second delay was really exceptional. Now more like 4 secs,
sometimes less.   However several times I got 'Connection reset by
remote host'

BPA,,,   You Are a Genius. Thank you SO Much. This problem had been
bugging me for a long time and you solved it.  Thank you again

I will try to do the same with other rtmp streams. If I stumble, I will
ask again.

My LMS is running on a NAS (QNAP TS212P) which runs a flavor of Linux.
And yes, there was a 16 second delay. Is that "long" ?

I have both the BBC App (installed via mysqueezebox.com) and the BBC
iPlayer and your mod still works.   

Thanks again

BPA,

I am horrified. For reasons I can't explain, I didn't see your last two
messages which were direct responses to me. I am sorry, and extend my
sincere apology.I did not yet implement the fixes you provided but
will let you know as soon as I do, with (probably) more questions.

Thank you a lot.
