Add horizon.tv to xot for UPC subscribers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

horizon.tv offers live streaming television for UPC subscribers. This means you 
can watch tv online. 

The following plugin is needed for the site to work on a webbrowser: Winevine 
DRM, and the flash plugin.  
As the content is copyrighted, users need to login with their 'mijn upc' 
account to be able to watch the content. 

Hopefully this can be done!

I do not have an UPC connection, but does this site require logging in if you 
are on a UPC connection? 

Besides that: I really need a Fiddler trace to see what data is received and 
sent

Yes you need to login with your "mijn UPC" details. There is a login at the top 
right of the site. 
How would I go about getting a fiddler trace for you? I installed Fiddler, but 
not sure what exactly you would need.

If you have installed Fiddler. Start it and then press F12 within Fiddler to 
start capturing. If you then start IE or Firefox and start browsing you will 
see the page popup in Fiddler. After you browsed a bit on the UPC site, press 
F12 again in Fiddler to stop tracing. Then save all sessions to a .saz file and 
attach it here.

Ok, done. Hope that session is enough for you to fiddle with.

Thanks, the format is OK but.....from the trace I see that the whole site is 
HTTPS which is not captured. Fiddler has a hard time capturing https, see 
http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler/help/httpsdecryption.asp. It's hard for me to 
help you from here, but I hope that you will manage.

So in order to see if it will work, you would need to enable this feature and 
get it work. Then send me a complete trace file. Now, because you decrypt it 
using Fiddler it's not really a good idea to post it here. Just mail the result 
to uitzendinggemist[dot]vx[at]gmail[dot]com and then post here that you mailed 
it.

Maybe i can help as well? I want horizon.tv for xbmc as well. Within XOT or as 
a standalone app. Tell me how i can help? What do I need to do?

I made a fiddler session. But it has some private info (username info and 
stuff). I would rather not place it here. Cause it is kinda personal. Maybe I 
can send it privatly?

Yes, I already posted the e-mail above:

I didnt have the time yet to make a session. Is it still required, since the 
other guy already sent you one Bas?

Maybe it would be better of more people send him sessions? That way he has more 
information.

I am also trying to get it working on XBMC, but i'm kinda noob on developing 
xbmc apps.. I will follow this thread.. I really hope it will work out. I will 
try to send him a session!

I got a Fiddler session from bokkoman and just finished a first try of this 
channel. I mailed him and hope that he can test it and that it works.

I haven't had time to test yet. I have to work all day. So maybe others can 
test as well?

Here is the beta channel. You can install it in XBMC via System -> Settings -> 
Addons -> Install from zip.

If you run into problems, please post them here and add an xbmc.log and 
uzg(plugin).log.

Here is info on the logfiles: http://www.rieter.net/pages/XOT:Troubleshoot

It has nothing to do with the login. They filter based on IP.

Original comment by benito2...@hotmail.com on 27 Sep 2012 at 12:28

Just put the .strm file in a location that XBMC uses and then go to Video -> 
Files

Original comment by basrie...@gmail.com on 27 Sep 2012 at 12:30

[GoogleCodeExporter]

yep i have don that but i cannot find the file to play it.
it is in the location, do i need to zip it?

Original comment by benito2...@hotmail.com on 27 Sep 2012 at 12:32

[GoogleCodeExporter]

just paste the url into a file called test.strm (not test.strm.txt) and then 
XBMC should find it if you place in a folder that is used for XBMC sources.

Nope, there is just a C:\Users\Admond\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\01-13610.ts file 
that you try to playback.

Also a debug logfile would be nice (Systems -> Debug)
