iprima.cz doesnt work

@ifox & @pozoun :

I'm sure it'll be an easy task for tong2shot to fix the iprima plugin,
but until that is accomplished, why don't you try a bit of manual work
instead of drowning in a teaspoonful of water:

> Viewing streams online through web browsers is OK.
> Web on line works

You can use Mozilla Firefox and its "web console" (CTRL + SHIFT + K)
as a simple URL sniffer to sniff for the AppleHLS
playlist URL; use "playlist.m3u8" (without the quotes)
as a search filter (to be typed inside the "Filter output" input field - on the right).
I am outside the Czech Republic, so full-length programmes
are not available to me, but this short clip is:
Zarážání hory

Using the above method I got:

http://bcastnw.livebox.cz/iprima_token/_definst_/Prima-1410221335-53294_500.mp4/playlist.m3u8?auth=_any_|1442992925|18537cb522dd32d944a5b6d3bd86542228e82bd3

The token is unique for me and short-lived - you have to sniff your own .m3u8 URL...

Then that URL is downloadable easily by FFmpeg:

ffmpeg -i "http://bcastnw.livebox.cz/iprima_token/_definst_/Prima-1410221335-53294_500.mp4/playlist.m3u8?auth=_any_|1442992925|18537cb522dd32d944a5b6d3bd86542228e82bd3" -c copy videoclip.ts

If you so wish, you can losslessly remux to the MP4 container:

ffmpeg -i "videoclip.ts" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -f mp4 "videoclip.mp4"

Media info report of final MP4 file is attached -
so is a screenshot of it being played back

Cheers

EDIT1: Added some usage info for Fx's web console,
although that (and more) can be easily found via
your favourite search engine - other browsers, too,
also contain equivalents for the web console, usually
under their dev tools sections...

EDIT2: If the on-line web player by default streams LQ/HQ,
then, having the web console still open, select manually HD (if available)
and then sniff/choose the playlist containing the string "_1500.mp4", e.g.

http://e4.ivs.livebox.cz/iprima_token/_definst_/hq/Prima-1410221335-53294_1500.mp4/playlist.m3u8?auth=_any_|1443132840|669e42b3e2452bad21457f205077e159815ebc7c

The above playlist will fetch a 1280x720p file, overall bit rate ~ 2500 Kbps

HTH

@TVjunkie: Thanks for the tip, it works as a workaround.

Thanks to both @TVjunkie and @ifox.
The workaround looks very useful, especially when similar case will become (i'm guessing). I'd never used Firefox - now good reason to start
Thank you a lot guys.

Sorry for the late reply.

Fixed in plugin v1.4.4.

@tong2shot: Thanks, Great work - I just tried - works as before :)

There's absolutely no need whatsoever for apologies...
Most people here already know that
creating/maintaining FRD plugins is done by
cuttin' out huge chunks out of your spare time...

Well, I tried again my sample link posted previously here.

Selecting RTMP/HD/1935 in the iprima plugin,
FRD downloads a 1280x720p FLV file (78.4 MiB ).

OTOH, selecting HLS/HD,
FRD fetches a 854x480p TS file (52.6 MiB ).

However, I have already demonstrated in the
"EDIT2" addendum of my linked post that it is
possible to download "manually" via HLS
a 1280x720p TS file (actually sized 85.3 MiB ).
Tried it again right now while posting
(playlist used was:

http://e3.ivs.livebox.cz/iprima_token/_definst_/hq/Prima-1410221335-53294_1500.mp4/playlist.m3u8?auth=_any_|1443507623|d80300eb97d195bbdd91b38afc672a5a28816e1c

) and it still is the case!

So I'd like to ask why the updated plugin
isn't capable of detecting and fetching the
720p video resolution via HLS?
Any insight/possible fix is greatly
anticipated-appreciated...

Many thanks for your constant efforts

Are you sure you weren't going to quote Jethro Gibbs?

Thanks for the info. Okay, please try plugin v1.5.0.

Hi
If you are refering to this fictional TV character ,
then, despite what my username may suggest (!),
I'm not actually a fan of that TV show ;
so I have no clue whether your comment has positive
or negative (I much doubt it) connotation !

> Okay, please try plugin v1.5.0.

iprima.frp v1.5.0 was installed and successfully tested
Very nice job indeed and at such short notice

The main reason I asked for 720p over HLS was
that HLS is considerably faster than RTMP
for the same video resolution - I'm confident Czech
users will appreciate this enhancement much more
than I

Keep well!

I receive the error "received fatal alert protocol version".

Any news? Still the same error...
