SVTchannel only works with flashvideo in XBMC for mac (PPc-version)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start XOT-UZG
2. Enter SVT-channel
3. Try to watch a show available in more formats than flashvideo (ex. Rapport 
latest available 
show)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expekt the show to start showing. It does not.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XBMC version is 9.04 XOT-Uzg version is 3.2 (latest)
OS is Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) on a mac mini PPC (G4).

Please provide any additional information below.

I belive that this problem is the same also for other channels (flash video 
works but not the other 
ones). In the SVT-channel I know it can be fixed, since SVT provides every show 
in flash. The 
problem is my very limited knowledge in python. Looking at the channel script 
chn_svt.py I can 
see that it is priortizing RAm and ASX files instead of FLV, but I don't know 
how to change it. 
maybe you can help me with instructions about where in the script I would 
change this, ie. I 
belive there is just a question of commenting out some lines? I think this 
shuold solve the 
problem, at least concerning the SVT-channel. The other channels may not 
provide flash so it 
might need other solutions.

NOTE: The shows available in flash alone is perfectly watchable, that is why I 
belive it is only a 
matter of prioritizing the FLV file. One can for example watch Rapport -> Alla 
klipp -> Senaste 
klipp, which ara available only as FLV. But not Rpport -> Alla klipp -> Rapport 
-> Rapport 19.30 
-> (latest shw).

Finally I want to thank you for your time and very fine work on this very 
usable addition to XBMC.

Best Regards Anders

Sorry for the confusion. I have now looked a bit more into this issue and I 
belive
the problems is that the rtmp-protocol is not supported in XBMC for PowerPC 
OSX. So,
the problem is NOT the asx files, which I belive is playable in the XBMC 
dvdplayer
(if you feed it the wmv-file itself). I also know that the dvdplayer has no 
problems
playing back the flv-files themselves, given that they are supplied by other 
means
than rtmp-protcol.

Also regarding the RAM-files I think that svtplay has stopped suppliyng those 
and
decided to use only flash or windowsmedia.

I hope this puts a bit more clearness into my previous report.

I still belive that the channelscript itself could be modifyied to account for 
this
by prioritzing the wmv-files, but this is certainly not a bug in XOT-UZG but 
rather
in XBMC for PowerPC OS X.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

I also have problems with SVT, running this greawt script on my old XBOX.

Things worked like a charm until a few weeks ago, when some shows stopped 
working.
After upgrading to the latest version of XOT, including the latest channel pack 
as
well as the latest svt fix, the issue still remains.

Some shows are perfectly watchable (e.g. the children show Häxan Surtant) 
while my
daughters favorite show (I Drömmarnas Trädgård) will not play at all.

I have played around a bit and found additional info that may be of interest
regarding the SVT playback issue.

A couple of weeks ago, SVT released the SVT Play iPhone app. The first thing I
noticed (except that it kicks a**) was that it lacks several shows that are 
available
in the web version.

So, I cross-checked the XOT SVT playback issue with the shows that are 
available in
the web player and the iPhone app and...

...XOT lists ALL shows (the same list that is displayed in the web player), but 
can
only play the ones that are listed in the iPhone app.

The strange thing is that XOT was able to play I Drömmarnas Trädgård (which 
is not
listed in the iPhone app) until two/three weeks ago.

Yes, some shows use RTMPE now and that is not supported by XBMC.

Hello again. I do not have an Iphone, so I cannot test the Iphone app. I noticed
though that a few weeks ago svt launched a mobile site. http://mobil.svtplay.se 
This
site does not provide all the content as the regular svtplay, but the files are
3gp-files, playable on most mobile devices and (I belive) the files are also 
directly
downloadable. I also think even if the site is not accessible by any api, it is 
much
easier to scrape than the regular svtplay.

Cheers!

Is this issue still valid?

I guess it's working now that XBMC supports RTMPE
