The hlsplay must not be used as a playable URL - it is used internally by plugin to deal with m3u8 playlist and if used directly will skip some HLS processing. Many HLS URL already have that have to be supplied with http parameters - so PlayHLS cannot strip universally parameters from a http URL. The parameters would have be "special" a bit like the LMS "#SLIM" Can you give an example of an URL that works with mplayer ? Does it work with ffplay - I prefer ffplay as it give better logging facilities) BTW - I noticed when playing one of your Radio France that a "hlsplay" URL appeared in "More" - this should not happen. At some point I was going to check it out. It can happen if the "wrong" LMS API is used - the API to show playing URL of a son is $song->streamUrl - if that is what you using then I need to look further (e.g you are using requesting hslplay URL to play) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103158 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
