How do I play BBC live stream in VLC Media Player?

Re: How do I play BBC live stream in VLC Media Player?

I have figured out the new stream link, as sample for BBC NEWS HD, it work.

Code:

http://vs-hds-uk-live.bbcfmt.vo.llnwd.net/pool_3/live/bbc_news_channel_hd/bbc_news_channel_hd.isml/bbc_news_channel_hd-pa3-96000-video-2812000.m3u

but the resolution is only 704x396, with the previous working link it was 1280x700 or so, are they not offered anymore in such a resolution?

Same with the others too, they are listes as HD, but the resolution is much more SD and not HD.

Re: How do I play BBC live stream in VLC Media Player?

How does one get the correct links? Packet capture?

Also how to re-stream BBC via LS & VLC on Windows?

Code:

livestreamer --player="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --player-args ":file-caching=5000 :sout=#duplicate{{dst=http{{mux=ffmpeg{{mux=flv}},dst=:8080/}},dst=display}} :sout-keep" "hds://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio_video/simulcast/hds/uk/pc/ak/bbc_one_hd.f4m" best

does nothing, does not error out, opens VLC, but nothing is shows locally & nothing is streamed

Code:

livestreamer --player="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "hds://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio_video/simulcast/hds/uk/pc/ak/bbc_one_hd.f4m" best

works perfectly fine, as does

Code:

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv "E:\Media\Movie.1024x_(Source).mp4" :sout=#duplicate{dst=http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8080/},dst=display} :sout-keep

It also makes no difference if I use %APPDATA%\livestreamer\livestreamerrc

Code:

player="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" :file-caching=5000 :sout=#duplicate{dst=http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8080/},dst=display} :sout-keep

Streaming from VLC does not happen (but the local display does)

Thanks

Does anyone know if there will be new live BBC links/urls to 4k UHD content?

It is rumoured that the BBC will broadcast the new Planet Earth II tomorrow evening in 4k UHD.

Thanks

Re: How do I play BBC live stream in VLC Media Player?

I doubt it, they only do 720p 25fps web streams irc.
The BBC clips on youtube are only 1080p too.

Re: How do I play BBC live stream in VLC Media Player?

50fps is broadcast live and on some iPlayer programmes. Sometimes it's true 50fps (live) and iPlayer is often doubled up 25fps.

This is what youtube-dl reports from a recent NFL programme:

Having thought about it some more, I think the BBC will need to create a new station to broadcast this new UHD. They have the standard and HD, but I think a new UHD will be required.

They'll probably only make the UHD available on the blu-ray discs, since it was filmed in UHD.

Interesting https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/81...video-download isn't showing 1080p links or 50fps
I wonder how many f1 broadcasts I missed in 1080p last year.

how are you getting the 1080 to be displayed in youtube-dl? I'm using the latest (2016.11.04) and simply running the -F command with the url and it doesn't show any 1080 formats for me. Very odd.
