Pluto + m3u plugins URL corruption... #129

Closed siliconhippy closed 5 months ago

siliconhippy commented 6 months ago

Continued from #127.

Edit: Jan 10'24: I am assuming here that Cabernet will autostart streamlink when configured with it- no systemd unit needed to enable/run streamlink?

  1. So after a week+ of effort, I diagnosed the problem with m3u8redirect streamtype only streaming. And streamlink-args having no effect.

Although I had installed Pluto.tv first and then m3u plugin, after Pluto.tv testing with m3u8redirect, I have found out that VLC shows m3u URLs to be also in Pluto RTP format:

http://IP:5004/M3U/watch/ch# with use of streamtype= streamlinkproxy.

A couple of Pluto TV channels got mixed up in this list (how?) and played fine under streamlinkproxy, with their RTP URLs: E.g.,

EXTINF:-1 channelID='5c12ba66eae03059cbdc77f2' tvg-num='0' tvg-chno='0' tvg-name='Pluto TV Cars 2' tvg-id='5c12ba66eae03059cbdc77f2' tvg-logo='https://images.pluto.tv/channels/5c12ba66eae03059cbdc77f2/colorLogoPNG.png' group-title='PlutoTV',Pluto TV Cars 2

https://cfd-v4-service-channel-stitcher-use1-1.prd.pluto.tv/stitch/hls/channel/5c12ba66eae03059cbdc77f2/master.m3u8?advertisingId=&appName=web&appVersion=unknown&architecture=&buildVersion=&clientTime=&deviceDNT=0&deviceId=unknown&deviceLat=40.8200&deviceLon=-74.4500&deviceMake=Chrome&deviceModel=Chrome&deviceType=web&deviceVersion=unknown&includeExtendedEvents=true&marketingRegion=US&sid=2AFFF0E6-A6C1-11EE-9069-AD32EBE3E77373&userId=

(But my original online m3u stream URLs are mostly HLS, including youtube live channels.)

  1. So I uninstalled the Pluto plugin, restarted, but /data/config.ini was still mixed up. So I rebooted, then cleaned up config.ini to remove all Puto references, and rebooted again.

Still I see the same RTP URLs in VLC for the m3u_default instance !

Using http://ip:6077/channels.m3u in VLC Network Stream, but VLC error window shows the above format RTP URLs, and not being resolved.

Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://IP:5004/M3U/watch/1'. Check the log for details.

  1. I uninstalled the M3U plugin, cleared all config,ini m3u references, re-installed m3u plugin only, typed in m3u online link, assigned streamlinkproxy, enabled, restarted, rebooted. But the m3u URLs still have the same RTP format as above , for all 252 channels !

Is there a cache issue that doesn't get fixed by restarts/reboots. Or coding error ? Or could this issue arise from special characters in m3u stream URLs, which need ' ' or " " for shell commands. But Python should be able to resolve these strings ?
