Hi everyone,
If I am not wrong (and hopefully I am) there might be a problem with XBMC code... Let me explain.
I am having a problem with streaming some RTMP link, which plays fine with rtmpdump:
Now tying to add to a python addon, I add the following:
And unfortunately I discovered this does not play at all. It seems I am getting back an error: "Invalid tincan object name (stream ID: 1)".
Now I looked over the logs and I noticed that 'app' parameter is not being passed at all, and instead it is being parsed from rtmp url:
Now I tried with rtmpdump, and for some odd reason those folks at VIKI made it impossible to play it unless full app uri is specified, which is '00354A/videos/encoded/79635'.
I looked through source code and I noticed the following in DVDInputStreamRTMP.cpp:
Which, unfortunately excludes many parameters, including such as 'app'.
(btw, if I am wrong and my Python syntax is simply incorrect please correct me!)
So my question is, is there any way to add a parameter to pass to rtmplib or play RTMP in any other alternative way from a Python addon?
Thank you very much!
