XBMC Supersport Addon

Positively Negative · Jul 6, 2011

WOW...
this is just one brilliant piece of software and thank you so much Bounce for the add on!!! Never really bothered to try it out but i wanted to give it a shot now.

Just a question about the error with the live streaming? anything I can try for that.
Also I am interested...is it possible to download the vids from these streams. the quality is really not that bad at all.If this is what the future of Internet TV is all about , I am really looking forward to it.

Thanks again Bounce...just sat for an hour catching up on Copa America and other highlights.cheers mate.

Quick update guys: I have halted work on the ondemand plugin for the moment in favour of cleaning out the gremlins in the latest Supersport code. I am also altering it so that it will not make use of the Beautiful soup package but rather the regular Python classes which should solve some of the compatibility problems.

Other new additions include:

Supersport monitor : This will be an optional service that will start on XBMC startup and will notify you of starting and ending broadcasts in the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
PVR: I have succesfully implemented PVR functionality that will allow you to record live events, schedule the recording of future events, and allow you to download highlights locally. A prerequisitve for the live stream recordings will be rtmpdump which you can download yourself and just set the location of the rtmpdump.exe in the plugin. I have so far tested the PVR functionality and simultaneously recorded 4 live streams, while watching 2 of these streams on my 2 machines, so the limitation here is really only your bandwidth and cpu. For the geeks out there, this involves creating separate execution threads for each stream with each one making use of rtmpdump - quite straight forward really. It is also possible to simultaneously record and watch the same stream (ie. time delay).

Any other requests while I'm at it?

Could you create a add-on for E-channel on dstv?

Bounce · Jul 6, 2011

Stevie G - Find me the stream and I will do it

Soul Assassin · Jul 6, 2011

Stevie, he can only create add-ons for streams on the internet. He can't create something that doesn't exist.

That's what I tried to explain to Stevie.

Seems the misses is really pushing him to get the E channel working...

Thanks Bounce, those new features sound great!

KaMoS · Jul 7, 2011

This truly is a step in the right direction. Thanks for the work you have done Bounce.

I don't know if these plugins exist but I would like Justin.tv and Twitch.tv plugins.

Shot for the good work Bounce!

Hi Bounce,

Great work, the top steam is SS1 - has anyone mapped the other streams? If so can you please share. I'll play around and post what I find.

Bounce said:
PaulB - When a stream is playing, just add it to favourites and it will always be available.

Or Create a .strm file with the lines

rtmpe://live.dstv.com/livestreamcast_origin app=livestreamcast_origin swfUrl=http://core.dstv.com/video/flash/DSTV_VideoPlayer.swf?v=1-15 playpath=mp4:Stream_01.f4v live=true swfVfy=true
rtmpe://live.dstv.com/livestreamcast_origin app=livestreamcast_origin swfUrl=http://core.dstv.com/video/flash/DSTV_VideoPlayer.swf?v=1-15 playpath=mp4:Stream_02.f4v live=true swfVfy=true
... (note the playpath is the only thing that really needs to change)

This can cause your xbmc to hang though if the stream is not available

Ok, I now see the problem .... it only shows the upcoming events, but when it's time for the event to start streaming, it disappears from the list.

OK, seems the inevitable has happened and dstv are now hashing the streampath... Im on it
