MythTV Android Not Playing

Hi,

Just updated to the latest version of MythTV for Android. Testing out HLS
i click the video and I can see the video get queued up on the internal web
server and start transcoding. Then BS player opens and says 0 file added
to queue and then just sits there.

Any ideas?

HLS work find via my browser so I dont think its my MythTV setup.

Thanks,
Mitchell

I've been seeing this too. On another device using mythtvgo also.

I recently updated BS player which I suspect to be the culprit.

Try a different player.

I am working on the app and with the backend developer to see why this
doesn't seem to be working anymore. There are definitely log entries
showing a failure on the backend. We are debugging why this is occurring.

Re: MythTV Android Not Playing [In reply to]

MX player, its a bit buggy for HLS but should at least show if the stream
starts.

Or i use Sopcast Player which seems to work well, its not on the market so
you will have to google for it.

Re: MythTV Android Not Playing [In reply to]

For me, mythtv 0.26 will not stream to BS player because of the AAC audio
being generated by the transcode.

You can get MP3 audio by either:

Don't compile with --enable-libfaac and compile with --enable-libmp3lame

OR

Create a setting called HLSAUDIO with a value of 'libmp3lame' in your settings table.

Can anyone experiencing this issue with MythTV v0.25 try the attached
patch to see if it fixes playback? This will bypass the code that is
generating the error to make 0.25 retrieve files using the same method
that 0.26 does.

Building now remotely from work but I won't be able to test it until
tonight... Well maybe I can test it remotely as well... I'll let you
know.

I just tried and didn't see any difference. BS Player said "0 files
added to play queue" or something like that and the internal video
player said "Unable to play video".

Can you confirm if your .m3u8 playlists now have entries in them
that are of the form /StorageGroup/Streaming/SOME_FILENAME instead
of /Content/GetFile?StorageGroup=Streaming&Filename=SOME_FILENAME

Here's one of them:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1020800
/StorageGroup/Streaming/1031_20120906190000.mpg.864x480_800kV_128kA.av.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=35200
/StorageGroup/Streaming/1031_20120906190000.mpg.864x480_800kV_128kA.ao_32kA.m3u8

Looks like that part is OK...

OK, that looks good. Do you have the "GetFile - Filename missing."
entries in your backend log? If not, you may be having a different
issue. The URLs above in your .m3u8 files indicate you
should be bypassing the Content::GetFile() method which prints
out that log entry.

This looks like a different issue. Can you perform a select on the
livestream table "select * from livestream;" to verify it's not
corrupt?

OK, those look OK.

Can you try one modification to the patch I sent previously? In my original
testing, I think I saw one player that didn't like having anything more than
the filename on the lines in the playlists.

Can you edit libs/libmythtv/httplivestream.cpp and find
HTTPLiveStream::SetOutputVars. We need to force setting

m_httpPrefixRel = "";

at the bottom of that function. You can either paste the above line
in directly at the bottom of the function or comment out the
if/else if/else block so that the last line in the file is the
existing m_httpPrefixRel = ""; and it always gets executed.

I'm wondering if the player doesn't like having the path on the URL.
Daniel sent me a packet capture he made and I can see the stream being
started and the player re-querying the backend until 3 segments are ready,
then the player downloads the meta/main playlist but it doesn't request
either of the individual stream playlists, so I think that it doesn't
like the URLs having the path on them.

Hmmm.. It seemed like the internal video player "tried" harder to play
it back but still failed. BS Player failed the same way as before.
Here's the contents of the m3u8:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1020800
1031_20120906190000.mpg.864x480_800kV_128kA.av.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=35200
1031_20120906190000.mpg.864x480_800kV_128kA.ao_32kA.m3u8

Since I have a fairly new phone (Galaxy S2) I wouldn't think it's a
compatibility problem. It should handle the x264 video and mp3 audio
just fine.

Did the .m3u8 files listed above contain just the filenames as well?
I'd like to verify the change worked as intended.

Can you run a packet trace on the master backend while you're testing
and email it to me privately?

tcpdump -i eth0 -s 2048 -w hls_failure_rshaw.pcap port 6544

I'll take a look and see if I notice anything. I had Daniel send me a
capture and this is how I determined that BS Player Lite wasn't trying
to download the individual playlist after downloading the meta/main
playlist.

I'd like to determine if you're seeing the same thing or not.

I've never been able to get the internal player to work with HLS,
even when I tried making a stub app a long time ago that played one
of the demo streams out on the net.

Richard and Daniel sent me packet captures off-list and both confirmed
the same thing, that BS Player Lite doesn't send any more requests after it
downloads the meta playlist from the backend. I haven't upgraded my
Android tablet yet, so I sent Richard a copy of my old BS Player Lite .apk
file and he confirmed that it did work for him, so it appears to be an
issue with the recent BS Player update. I also found several users on
the BS Player forum reporting issues with broken HLS playback with the
latest update.

Interesting. I installed it but when I try to play a recording I still
only get a choice between the internal video player and BS Player...

Try and do a force stop on the from the Apps menu in settings. Then
relaunch it.

The app itself doesn't have any control over what appears you try to launch
an external player.
