| Post subject: | ABC iView Problem |
The Australian ABC has for the last year had a facility to download TV shows. I think it is similar to Hulu and the BBC service. It relies on Flash Player. I have been trying to get it to work work on my Mythbox without success. I can bring up the iView home page and navigate around but when I try to stream a show I get an error message "Warning - Sorry, there has been a problem connecting to iView. Please check your internet connection and try again. Connection error 60.242.41.138 Akamai" I believe I have Flash work correctly on firefox because Youtube is OK. It works on other computers in the house (windows and Linux). Connection is ADSL 2+ so speed is good. Has anyone else got it working successfully? Ultimately I would like access iView via a downloader so that I can download batch-wise and watch as videos. But that's my next project. |

Whilst I can't help you with your problem I would love to see how this works as well. I would like to make a suggestion however, have you tried going to Adobe's website and check that you have the latest version of flash as that may be prohibitive. Just a guess. |

Some more updates. Still no success with streaming iView through the Myth box although it works fine on other computers in the house using windows and Ubuntu. Is anyone else using it? I have discovered a number of downloaders set up for iView which allow you to download complete shows to watch later. I installed one on my windows machine and successfully downloaded a show. I was not able to view it on windows but I could on Ubuntu. When I copied the file (mp4) to the myth box it would not play on any player (internal, mplayer, xine or vlc). When I try to play with vlc I get rows and rows of "flv @ 0xb24e0af0]Unsupported video codec (7)". If I try to find examine the file with ffmpeg I get the same thing. I was able to look at it with ffmpeg on my ubuntu machine and got the following. Code: richard@richard-desktop:~/Desktop$ ffmpeg -i test2.mp4 Does this mean the yuv420p codec is not installed? If so how do I get it?

Some more clues - perhaps? If I try a transcode to avi on my ubuntu machine with Code: ffmpeg -i test2.mp4 -acodec copy test3.avi I can create a file which plays successfully on the Mythbox. The '-acodec copy' prevents a screen full of statements that SBR is not implemented. The avi file has the following properties Code: richard@richard-desktop:~/Desktop$ ffmpeg -i /media/024D-027E/test3.avi

So the video is still h264 yuv420p so obviously that is not the problem. I assume that means the problem lies in the flv container. If so why does Youtube work? Or is it specific to the players? |

I have continued exploring this without success. I have recently tried updating ffmpeg as suggested by yababom in this text but am not having much success. I always seem to have dependencies issues and the method in the post does not help. The ffmpeg --version below lists libswscale.0 as the problem but I have had others. Code: root@mythtest:/home/mythtv# ffmpeg --version I should mention that I am trying to do this on a test machine to get enough confidence for my working machine. In one of my attempts I did have success but after trying lots of things. I am trying to make it reproducible and be comfortable with it before I try my working machine.

The latest development is that I discovered that when I did an "apt-get update" I was getting a GPG error NO_PUBKEY. I fixed this by Code: root@mythtest:/home/mythtv# gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4D270D06F42584E6 where 4D270... was the number in the error message. I had to do this twice because I had 2 error messages each with a different key. gpg: requesting key F42584E6 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpg: key F42584E6: public key "Lenny Stable Release Key <debian-release@lists.debian.org>" imported gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 root@mythtest:/home/mythtv# apt-key add /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg I can now run "apt-get update" without the error messages but I am still have dependency problems. "apt-get -f install" gives Code: root@mythtest:/home/mythtv# apt-get -f install

Can anyone help? |
