quote]The URL of the actual video stream is https://msertupoc.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/e30cee7e-dbf9-42b2-9070-031f9f8fa508/b0bc4ae6-2ee9-47cc-a610-d0a35c01220b.ism/manifest(format=mpd-time-csf) How did I get these URLs ? Using Applian's Replay Media Catcher (RMC). ( http://applian.com/replay-media-catcher/ ). Basically, started RMC, placed it on 'Auto', played the stream on maspero.eg, and checked the properties of the recording which include the URL of the stream. What do you mean by "What is the precedent ?" ? With DASH the is the ability to stream at a variety of speeds/resoution etc some depending on the client (e.g. PC, phone, tablet) - so how you got the URL can affect how it is to be played. The precedent is where the URL came from and to some extent the device the being used and application - which seems to be a Web Browser and PC. Also, the stream I provided looks very similar to the MPEG-DASH example among the Streaming URL Formats presented at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-deliver-content-overview . MS likes to do things "their" way whiuch can be prodblem. I recorded streams with RMC using these URLs, and the audio was fine. I don't care for the visualization associated with the audio which comes as video. In the case of Nile TV International, I recognize that the quality of the video stream is very poor, but it is what it is. You can compare the quality playing the stream on vlc with the same stream on the player in the hosting page so I don't think there is anything incomplete about the URL *So how to setup a transcoding application..... ?* The ability to use a transcoding application depends on the source URL MIME type - it needs to be consistent and also the trasncoding application has to be able to discard the video. Also for DASH - you need to tell application play not to adaptively change bit rate during playback as LMS playback device cannot acceptable variable bitrates within a stream but looking at the manifest and this does not seems to be an issue.. At the moment VLC looks to be a only possible application - what is hosting LMS - Linux (which distro) , Windows 7/8/10 or OSX ? If it is Windows - there could be problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109261 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
