YouTube Plugin

I'm still seeing the play/pause problem on the NMT even if I go to 360p.

Strangely, as I reduce the quality setting for a particular stream (I'm using 'Adele - Rolling in the Deep' from Top Favorites') the play sections get longer, but the pauses get longer too.

The same stream plays perfectly on the PC which suggests to me that it's not a broadband throttling problem... maybe a LAN problem - duff cable or port?

I couldn't find it in Top Favourites but it was in Top Rated. I selected 360p and whurlston selected a 480i stream that plays fine here, it was even PAL. I can't see it being a port problem because a 480i MP4 stream is a lot less bandwidth than anything you record in NPVR.

At 1080p I did have one glitch 720p was fine.

If you are curious you can load mvpmc2 by telnet. If there is a buffering problem you will see a break in the "Internet Source Detected..." output that is written to the screen. In telnet you can also get the URL used by typing cat /tmp/connect.log If it isn't ISP specific, I can try it here.

What is the process for starting from NMT? I have putty....

What is the process for starting from NMT? I have putty....

1. Exit from NPVR to the main menu with the power button
2. From your PC telnet to your NMT
3. Stop the NMT software
killall gaya

4. Run either
gaya
or go right to NPVR
/etc/mvpmcx2

5. Capture output in putty for debugging if you'd like

While playing for me it looks like this over and over

Code:

Internet Source Detected...

Ah... telnet - a bit of a black art to me Martin. I do have PuTTY installed though and I copied the output from cat /tmp/connect.log to the attached.

I don't suppose you could point me at instructions for loading mvpmc2 by telnet (I run from a USB stick BTW).

I've been using the Laptop to serve the NMT for testing YouTube - it's been getting a bit sluggish recently, so this evening I'm going to install the plugin on another server and try it from there.

My instructions where wrong it should be /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 but they should work from USB or a share.

YouTube is streamed directly from YouTube, so a slow laptop shouldn't really matter.

Zip and attach your logs after reproducing the problem. I want to double check the stream that was selected.

I selected 360p and whurlston selected a 480i stream that plays fine here, it was even PAL.

In case anyone is curious as to why 480i was selected, the options are technically hd1080, hd720, large, medium and small. I just used 480p, 360p and 240p because that is the majority of videos for the non HD streams. I just wanted consistency in the naming. 480i still uses slightly less bandwidth than 360p

The file from the NMT that ACTCMS sent was the same 480i file I used, I can tell by the file size. Content-Length: 17117918

ACTCMS, you can place that url in your browser and it will attempt to download the file. Save it in your videos folder as an mp4 file and see if your NMT will play it from there.
