tvplayer.com error (cannot resolve 'live.cdn.tvplayer.com') #1358

Open alza-bitz opened 8 years ago

alza-bitz commented 8 years ago

When I try to open a tvplayer.com url:

[me@myhost ~]$ livestreamer http://tvplayer.com/watch/channel4

I get the following error:

[cli][info] Found matching plugin tvplayer for URL http://tvplayer.com/watch/channel4
error: Unable to open URL:

('<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f08a1c206a0>:

Is this a tvplayer.com problem, or a livestreamer problem?

Observed on Fedora 23, with livestreamer installed from dnf:

[me@myhost ~]$ livestreamer --version-check

Channel 4 stream uses a different HLS playlist (at least on their website).

Thanks, that command line worked for me :+1:

How were you able to determine the correct stream url (http://live.tvplayer.com/channel4/live.m3u8), and also the required cookie names/values manually? Shouldn't the plugin be able to determine these details from the top-level page url?

Thanks again.

There are various ways to obtain all necessary parameters. For example every modern web browser has inbuilt developer tools. Personally I use the Firefox Network Monitor. Cookie parameters are expired now (403 Client Error: Forbidden), so you will have to generate your own values.

is there any way to get the plugin connect to the website and auto-generate all the relevant HTTP headers?
