Can somebody help get filmon rtmp code to play with livestreamer?

[confused.com]

Livestreamer


File output options:
-o FILENAME, --output FILENAME
Write stream data to FILENAME instead of playing it.

You will be prompted if the file already exists.

-f, --force
When using -o, always write to file even if it already exists.

-O, --stdout
Write stream data to stdout instead of playing it.

Laj,

here is HRTV recorded as one continuous file.
You can play it with a player "as it goes", but player may stumble or fall now and then.
Recorded file will be of acceptable standard.


@title hrtvVLCrtmp.bat
@if "%time:~0,1%" == " " (set d=%date:~-4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2%0%time:~1,1%%time:~3,2%%ti me:~6,2%) ^
else (set d=%date:~-4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2%%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%tim e:~6,2%)
:start
@for /f %%x in ('hrtv.exe') do @set var=%%x
vlc.exe %var% --sout=file{append}/ts:hrtv_%d%.mpg
:loop
@for /f %%y in ('hrtv.exe') do @set var2=%%y
if "%var%"=="%var2" goto loop
goto start



For this to work you need these files in the same location and vlc on the path,
and to make an effort and compile hrtv.au3 with autoit to get hrtv.exe.


hrtvVLCrtmp.bat
hrtv.exe
curl.exe


Recorded file will look something like this:

hrtv_201701131915.mpg


;hrtv.au3
RunWait( 'cmd.exe /c curl -A Mozilla/5.0 -s http://www.filmon.com/api-v2/channel/694?protocol=rtmp | CLIP','', @SW_HIDE )
$sData = ClipGet()
$first = StringInStr( $sData, '"quality":"high","url":"' ) + 23
$sData = StringTrimLeft( $sData, $first )
$last = StringLen( $sData ) - ( StringInStr( $sData, '","watch-timeout":0}]' ) - 1 )
$sData = StringTrimRight( $sData, $last ) & '/694.high.stream'
ConsoleWrite( $sData & @CRLF )


autoit:

https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/

autoit-v3.zip

Aut2Exe.exe /in hrtv.au3

j cool,

Thanks for working on this filmon code for me! I have never used autoit or curl before. What should I do first? Thanks again buddy!

[j_cool]

It appears to be that you are the only one on the internet watching HRTV and me and Ihry
only ones interested about how it all works.

I find it amazing.


Confused says:

Livestreamer !


The only problem with livestreamer is that it's error messages are not so descriptive, it says only 403, forbidden.

FFplay is a little more explainatory saying: cookie missing, though it is questionable because I can play first chunk, and then break.

So with HLS.

RTMP can be done with livestreamer but it would require longer code to get parameters right.


It would be great to get this working in HLS as well, I started to look to spoof cookie on command line for the start,
but is it cookie or not, it would be great to hear from other members.

Back to VLC:

First thing to do is to make sure your VLC works everywhere in windows.

on command line type: path, press enter key.

You should see something like this:

C:\>path
PATH=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Sys tem32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v 1.0\;C:\P\GnuWin32\b
in;C:\AP;C:\AP\7Z;C:\AP\FF;C:\AP\RDUMP;C:\P\M;C:\P \VLC;C:\P\LIVESTR;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_111\bin

If you don't see location of your vlc.exe here you will have to replace vlc.exe in batch file
with full path to wherever your vlc.exe is:

"C:\Program Files ...\vlc.exe"



To make this organized create directory C:\HRTV and copy to it all files required:

C:\HRTV>dir /b /on
curl.exe
HRTV.au3
HRTV.exe - this one you will get after you compile hrtv.au3 with autoit.
hrtvVLCrtmp.bat



Create txt file and name it: hrtvVLCrtmp.bat, copy code from below and paste it in.

:start
for /f %%x in ('hrtv.exe') do set var=%%x
vlc.exe %var% --sout=file{append}/ts:hrtv.mpg
:loop
for /f %%y in ('hrtv.exe') do set var2=%%y
if "%var%"=="%var2" goto loop
goto start


This is the simplest code possible it can be. Batch file will create hrtv.mpg file.
This batch file will start working only when you start it and stop only when you kill it.
If you let it run it will never stop, appending chunks untill your disk is full and PC stops working.
If you come in situation that you cannot stop it for some reason beyond me,
switch the power button on your PC off.
Restart the PC, and batch file will not run again unless you start it again.
After you finish with recording rename hrtv.mpg to something else or delete it.
If you leave it, next time you run batch file it will continue appending to saved hrtv.mpg.

To play the stream while it is being recorded, to get uninterupted play start playing when there is
some of this stream already saved on the disk, ideally after second chunk had started recording.



Download curl_752_1.zip from this link and unzip it, there will be only one file inside zip, curl.exe.

http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?CURL_7.52.1

CURL 7.52.1

Download WITHOUT SSL




create txt file, name it htrv.au3, copy code from below and paste it in.

RunWait( 'cmd.exe /c curl -A Mozilla/5.0 -s http://www.filmon.com/api-v2/channel/694?protocol=rtmp | CLIP','', @SW_HIDE )
$sData = ClipGet()
$first = StringInStr( $sData, '"quality":"high","url":"' ) + 23
$sData = StringTrimLeft( $sData, $first )
$last = StringLen( $sData ) - ( StringInStr( $sData, '","watch-timeout":0}]' ) - 1 )
$sData = StringTrimRight( $sData, $last ) & '/694.high.stream'
ConsoleWrite( $sData & @CRLF )



Download autoit from here:

https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/

Download zip:

autoit-v3.zip

unzip it wherever you like and you will get directory: install:

C:\install>dir /b /on
Aut2Exe
AutoItX
Examples
Extras
Icons
Include
SciTe
Au3Check.dat
Au3Check.exe
Au3Info.exe
Au3Info_x64.exe
AutoIt v3 Website.url
AutoIt.chm
AutoIt3.exe
AutoIt3_x64.exe
AutoIt3Help.exe


change to directory Aut2Exe and copy to it hrtv.au3, content should look like this:

C:\install\Aut2Exe>dir /o/b
Icons
Aut2exe.exe
Aut2exe_x64.exe
HRTV.au3
upx.exe

on command line type this and press enter:

C:\install\Aut2Exe>Aut2exe.exe /in hrtv.au3


This will create hrtv.exe


Now, when you have it all together inside HRTV directory double click on hrtvVLCrtmp.bat and
cmd window and minimal vlc will pop up ( no stream to see ) and stream will be recording to hrtv.mpg.

After every chunk vlc will close and pop-up again every 2 minutes, and in between while waiting for next chunk to start.

This all can be made invisible and better and would require longer code.

So long for now, this post is Marathon, you can always ask for more details.

[confused.com]

You are a...

VIRUS !

[j_cool]

If you don't see the stream, don't panic.

HRTV is not on the air for 24 hours as they claim they are.

It can be seen if the stream is on the air or not.


title hrtvFFplayHLS.bat
:start
for /f %%x in ('hrtvhls.exe') do set var=%%x
ffplay.exe %var%
:loop
for /f %%a in ('hrtvhls.exe') do set var2=%%a
if "%var%"=="%var2" goto loop
goto start


;HRTVhls.au3
RunWait( 'cmd.exe /c curl -A Mozilla/5.0 -s http://www.filmon.com/api-v2/channel/694?protocol=hls | CLIP','', @SW_HIDE )
$sData = ClipGet()
$first = StringInStr( $sData, '"quality":"high","url":"' ) + 23
$sData = StringTrimLeft( $sData, $first )
$last = StringLen( $sData ) - ( StringInStr( $sData, '","watch-timeout":0}]' ) - 1 )
$sData = StringTrimRight( $sData, $last )
ConsoleWrite( $sData & @CRLF )



If the stream in not on the air HLS protocol will kindly display "no stream available".


If the stream is on the air, FFplay with play the first chunk and than close and cmd winow will display this:

Invalid cookie found, no value, path or domain specified
HTTP error 403 Forbidden

Laj,

you can try solution for HRTV from here:

May work for you.
