Code: Select all
22:10:10 M: 20164608 NOTICE: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet body. len: 90775
22:10:20 M: 21639168 WARNING: CDVDMessageQueue(audio)::Get - asked for new data packet, with nothing available
2.5.2 is current for x4x?
anyone found workaround for this please?

2.5.8 is current.
there is no possible fix for that - for whatever reason the CDN dropped connection - might be a temporary issue, might be some rtmp protocol issue, might be something else. Try forcing the CDN to limelight/akamai (try both)

yeah this has been on and off a problem for a while. i saw you'd put out 2.5.8 but 252 is on the addon installer, does 258 work on 3.5? 3.3?
thanks
edit: sorry saw 2.5.8 as "working" here
http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/addons/
does the addon installer pull different versions for 3.5 or is it all one or just not updated yet?

I take it you are not running 3.5 beta 4 then if you can't see the latest version of iplayer ? (I would know if you had posted a full debug log rather than two lines - hence why we ask for full logs)

Thanks. It is important that the beta releases get thoroughly tested by users, or else we will have the situation where the final version is released and bugs have been missed. I don't have time to maintain two trees, so all work has been going into 3.5.

yeh, that last error means your machine is waiting and no data coming in. it could be a networking issue (between you and cdn), the cdn itself, or anything really. It's giving up sending you data anyway and then dropping. nothing we can do but wait and try alternatively cdn's. hopefully one will work better. or maybe it will get better in a few days.

woohoo Akamai made it through a 1 hour programme!
3.5b4, iplayer 2.5.8, Akamai, port 1935, 1500k stream
all other iplayer settings on default
Code: Select all
13:09:03 M: 10539008 NOTICE: Display resolution AUTO : 720p 16:9 (1)
13:31:55 M: 19247104 ERROR: Unable to wait for NTP reply from the SNTP server, GetLastError returns 10060
Previous line repeats 1 times.

interesting that was only error (Unable to wait for NTP reply) during this hour, no "asked for new data packet, with nothing available" at all on Akamai this time.

@ Buzz i think it would be great if this plugin could somehow detect early termination and offer to try a different server? Going into settings and fixing this is impossible for my family. like make a popup menu when the stream drops? or if you can't detect difference between end of programme and early drop, just do it every time that's still better than sitting there staring at programme list wondering what happened.
Like:
- Playback ended, try using:
Akamai
Limelight
Level3
Cancel

not really possible - or not in a way I think would work well. Even if I thought it was, I don't have time/motivation - sorry (I'm way too busy and have far too many projects on the go). On xbmc mainline you can resume where you left off. We don't have that functionality on xbmc4xbox (yet).

ok i'll just leave it on Akamai for now then.
yes resume is cool i noticed that on Gotham working pretty well even with different sources.

btw addon repo needs updating, iplayer is still on 2.5.2
(is it split repo for 3.5? because both 3.3 and 3.5 give 2.5.2).

3.5 has a different repository. sounds like you have left over config data.
if you copied 3.5 over 3.3 (or copied user data from old one over) you will need to remove UserData/plugin_data/addons4xbox . I recommend a fresh install for 3.5 though, as lots of files have changed, and copying over will leave lots of old stuff around.

ah right sorry..

now i see the updated repo with only iplayer and tvcatchup!
ok trying TVcatchup 14.8. now.
liking 3.5beta so far mem usage doesn't seem higher which i was worried about.

I'm only maintaining a couple of addons. Many from xbmc repo work out of the box. Check add-ons link in main nav on this site.

that wasn't meant as a criticism. i'd rather have 2 plugins that work than 10 that don't.
but yeah i'd seen this page
http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/addons/
you shouldn't be maintaining that anyway surely someone is able to do that.
i will try some more addons later thanks.

Np. Hopefully I or others will be able to maintain a small set of the most popular that are wanted, but don't work. Unfortunately this didn't workout last time, although compatibility has been much improved since.

Hmm just saw some weirdness. Went to play Goodness Gracious Me, it kept quitting just a second or so into the stream? After about 4 attempts then it played perfectly all way through. this is weird because (1) never changed any settings afaik and (2) it's never run out of ram before just loading one iplayer stream
