Using intent to run a live video stream

[bmike21Participant]

When using am start … to send a live video stream to XMTV it works fine for regular streams http, rtmp… but when the format is a complex rtmp “rtmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw=…swfUrl=…pageUrl=…” I get “we are unable to play this video”

Thanks

I think it has something to do with the spaces in the rtmp (-d) parameter replacing with %20 has no effect

Hi bmike21,
Could you send on email ([email protected]) or share here rtmp link that you have a problem. We will fix issue asap.

Kind Regards

link is:
rtmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw=rtmp://d.cdn.newschat.tv/edge/cnni_live swfUrl=http://newschat.tv/player.swf live=1 pageUrl=http://www.livenewschat.eu/international/

and the intent is:
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW
-d *LINK*
-n com.xmtvplayer.watch.live.streams/org.zeipel.videoplayer.XMTVPlayer

the link works fine when in an m3u file just not as an intent

Thanks

Hi,
please add follow code in your app, where Title is stream name and uri is playpath.
More samples you can see here: https://xmtvplayer.com/development-api.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

/**
* @param Title – Media Name
* @param uri – path/url to media
*/
public void XMTVPlayerPlayUri(String Title,String uri){
Bundle bnd = new Bundle();
bnd.putString(“path”, uri);
bnd.putString(“name”, Title);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName(“com.xmtvplayer.watch.live.streams”,”org.zeipel.videoplayer.XMTVPlayer”);
intent.putExtras(bnd);
startActivityForResult(intent, 100);
}

Thank You

I thought the data parameter was enough even though I saw the path and name in the “How To” section.

Added those and working great now.

I was wrong not working:

for a stream like

http://wpc.c1a9.edgecastcdn.net/hls-live/20C1A9/cnn/ls_satlink/b_,264,528,828,.m3u8

it works fine

but when it a complex rtmp:
rtmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw=rtmp://d.cdn.newschat.tv/edge/cnni_live swfUrl=http://newschat.tv/player.swf live=1 pageUrl=http://www.livenewschat.eu/international/
it is unable to play

I am calling this through adb using the command

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.xmtvplayer.watch.live.streams/org.zeipel.videoplayer.XMTVPlayer –user 0 -e path “rtmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw=rtmp://lv9.ustvnow.com/dvrtest/F3CCDWHTMUSTVNOW1 swfUrl=http://www.ustvnow.com/player/flowplayer.commercial-3.2.15.swf?sid=BMICHAEL7516087BE5CED22EA55B1BB818730743E37 live=1 pageUrl=http://www.ustvnow.com” -e name ABC

I’m trying your sample and in bundle receive wrong data.

Intent pass:
rtmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw=rtmp://lv9.ustvnow.com/dvrtest/F3CCDWHTMUSTVNOW1 swfUrl=http://www.ustvnow.com/player/flowplayer.commercial-3.2.15.swf?sid=BMICHAEL7516087BE5CED22EA55B1BB818730743E37 live=1 pageUrl=http://www.ustvnow.com

App Receive:
rtmp://:rtmp-raw=rtmp://lv9.ustvnow.com/dvrtest/F3CCDWHTMUSTVNOW1 swfUrl=http://www.ustvnow.com/player/flowplayer.commercial-3.2.15.swf?sid=BMICHAEL7516087BE5CED22EA55B1BB818730743E37 live=1 pageUrl=http://www.ustvnow.com

Interesting the $OPT is being dropped – never saw that happen before

[supportKeymaster]

at my tests there is no matter where I pass $variable, all parameters passed with $ are stripped. I’m trying to found some info about $variable used with adb shell, but with no luck. If you found some info will be great if you share it.
Kind Regards

[bmike21Participant]

I think I remember that it has to be entered as \$OPT so it would be
rtmp://\$OPT:rtmp-raw=…
testing it right now

edit: that appears to be it, I hate forgetting things!

Thank You
