Pluto TV IPTV integration.

[sgilani]

btw, I found some ffmpeg patch that's supposed to help it cope with this issue. I patched and compiled it, but still got the same issues when using that version of ffmpeg to generate an mpegts as an extra. But maybe I messed up :/

It's likely I'll need to modify NextPVR to fall back to ffmpeg for this type of stream, rather than trying to handle it natively, but for that to be helpful, we'll need to hope that ffmpeg can handle it.

Don't know if this helps any by ffplay has no problem playing this URL:

http://service-stitcher.clusters.pluto.t...7a3&userId=

When I play the HD version from that playlist

Code:

3063648/playlist.m3u8?terminate=false&deviceId=dae89e70-ea51-11ea-99ff-89623f4ec0dd&deviceVersion=74.0.3729.131&appVersion=2.5.1-f9a6096b469cfe5e4f1cc92cc697e8500e57891c&deviceType=web&deviceMake=Chrome&sid=c16f00a0-00f0-4e13-a5c1-4ecdfcccb7a3&advertisingId=&deviceLat=26.124163&deviceLon=-80.143585&deviceDNT=0&deviceModel=Chrome&userId=&embedPartner=&appName=&serverSideAds=true&architecture=&paln=&includeExtendedEvents=

There are hiccups even in ffplay when I see these messages

[hls @ 00000127d62955c0] skipping 1 segments ahead, expired from playlists

or

[mpegts @ 00000127d629a080] Packet corrupt (stream = 0, dts = 2823000).

perhaps the NextPVR m3u8 reader has issues with whatever that is.

I've written an extra for Pluto TV that uses an app called streamlink which has a recent update and it seems to have solved the commercial hang problem.  I've been watching Airplane! for over an hour (I don't know why it still makes me laugh) so far so good over several commercial. 

I wrote a program to get the EPG too.  Can't fix the 4-5 hours issue, but for Live TV it might be OK

If anyone is willing to help test let me know.

Sweet, I'd be happy to try this out!

[mvallevand]

Ok thanks. Step #1 is to install the streamlink development release from here https://streamlink.github.io/install.html and manually update to the patched file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/back-t...s/pluto.py that hasn't been released yet

To test that it will work (in the US) after installing try

streamlink https://pluto.tv/live-tv/pluto-tv-spotlight best -O | "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\Other\ffplay" -

q or ctrl-c to stop

Returns invalid data message for me...

Did you try just streamlink from the path as I suggested? That is all I tested on Windows and Ubunutu

Yep, tried by installing, then again by pulling down the code, patching and running from the command line. Same results.

streamlink is just a shortcut to python -m streamlink_cli.main (as defined in the setup.py file)
