Support for online audio/video feeds

[Petr Nejedly]

example: http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=191&p=1125#p1125

• Looks like librtmp will have to be linked with FFmpeg for rtmp support (iPlayer). http://stream-recorder.com/forum/do-you-use-rtmp-dump-rtmpdump-tutorials-t3926.html
• Will need to support RSS/Atom feeds
• Looks like some basic config for feeds and advanced config (Groovy) will be needed to extract stream URLs from feeds; it might be useful for the plugins to autodetect which plugin is needed for which feed (by title or author for example) - so users only enter feed URL and don't have to pick which plugin will manage it. There will be a list of registered plugins in the console for the user's notification.
• the Groovy plugin mechanism should support processing a html page as well as a feed item - maybe 2 interfaces are needed (resolveUrl(FeedItem) and getItems(URL source)) - although it might only be necessary for stream support (<<issue 355>>)
• Will need to deal with multiple incoming requests for a single asset (byte range)
• Everything (CDS tree, thumbnails) will be in the cache (which expires every hour or so)

EDIT: live stream support split to https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/issue/355/support-online-streams

• Needs to support transcoding, if not needed Serviio is just a proxy to the native content, otherwise normal transcoding will take place; will need a separate transcoding config for this (possibly in Generic profile, inherited) to make sure non-streamable containers (mov, etc) are transcoded into mpeg/ts/asf

{{{ <OnlineTranscoding extendsLocal="true"> <Video targetContainer="mpegts"> <Matches container="mp4" /> <Matches container="matroska" /> </Video> </OnlineTranscoding> }}}

Please add support for streaming from the "Play" application used by most Swedish Television networks, if not all.

check on svtplay.se to see what it entails.

I have asked the people at the swedish state tv (SVT) for info in english on what the "Play" format actually is, and how you could support streaming their channels.

If & when I get a reply I will forward it to you, in english.

It'd be awesome if Serviio could stream Soma.FM

http://somafm.com/

SomaFM is 19 unique channels of listener-supported, commercial-free, underground/alternative radio broadcasting from San Francisco. All music hand-picked by SomaFM's award-winning DJs and music directors.

This forum post contains a huge number of streamable audio and video feeds.

One of the ones I think would be great is:

• http://www.ted.com/talks/rss

And add support for photo feed, like in PS3 Media Server.

Please make it possible to stream your localhost, that is "mms:127.0.0.1:1234", since this enables all users to restream anything they want using VLC to the DLNA unit. Thanks!

I would love to see the above implemented, would really make a difference.

The important two for me are...

BBC iplayer [tv] & Shoutcast Radio Stations [I got this working in tversity, v useful] i.e http://91.121.91.172:8518/listen.pls

[Paul Hardwick]

Online radio stations would be great. For example I use mplayer to play in the USA an Australian radio station 104.3 Gold FM: mplayer "http://player.arn.com.au/alternate/gold1043.pls"

[Former user]

would love to see some channels from vexcast: http://s20.vexcast.com/skdjnksjnd-vexcast.com or http://s20.vexcast.com/mdnfjkdbjfb-vexcast.com. I think tversity support this, but serviio is the best for all major dvd player with dlna.

Support fro justin.tv / ustream.tv live stream would be very nice

youtube, absolutely critical.... asap :D

[Former user]

hope this is the correct place to post a request regarding streaming of url's

would be wonderful to be able to access:

http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/internet/

and also, as a follow up to an earlier request/posting, the ability to have serviio stream sirius radio via the "llisten" online user login to their website - thanks, Petr

[Former user]

Is there support for Hulu rss feeds? I'm not seeing any content on my end device. -thanks

[Former user]

Kindly ask to add Austrian ORF Streaming Service to the Supported platforms: http://tvthek.orf.at/

Thanks!
