I`ve already done it.I`ve install rootsh when I installed winscp.Do I have to install ti again?I have total access to my files through wifi with winscp.That means rootsh works right?

Re: How do I install 'hls-player' on N900

i think youre talkng about something else, install it on your phone then try the sudo gainroot command then you'll have what the phone calls 'superuser' priviledges

I think rootsh is installed because when i type sudo gainroot in xterminal I go straight to home/user....does this mean I have superuser priviledges?

My problem is how do I go about installing the setup.py file ( and the hls files in the folder) on my phone? Do I copy the files on the phone somewhere and excecute the sudo python setup.py install command?

Re: How do I install 'hls-player' on N900

oh yeah well in that case you do have those priviledges. im not too familiar with python. but when installing .deb files i download them onto my device then run the command dpkg -i /ilepath/filename.deb then if anythng goes wrong i run dpkg --configure -a. try googling it mate

You have to root an N900 just to get it to play an m3u (playlist) stream??

It`s an m3u8 file (http streaming), and it doesn`t play with the standard media player nor kmplayer.I think the only way is to install this hls-player and then presto, you can stream it.

Any python guys around to shed some light to this.How can we install a .py file?

This is the content of the ziped folder:

1) There is a setup.py file
2) There is a HLS folder containing:
player.py
m3u8.py
fetcher.py
_init_.py

You don't need to install it. It is a command line player, just untar it like you have and run:

python player.py <url>

Most likely because you have not installed python-twisted. Twisted is a networking engine for python.
Here is a list of the python modules available for fremantle: http://bit.ly/94U7XC

You can install a module with the following command (you need to be root):
apt-get install <module Name>

I type 'sudo gainroot' and I`m at home/user.There I have the player.py and all the files from the hls player.

I type 'python player.py <url>' and I get '/bin/sh: syntax error: newline unexpected'

Any help?

Thanks (I`m trying to learn some basic linux commands, I`m a noob so bear with me)

This is driving me nuts!

I`ve tried it with the quotes, now it says:

ImportError: No module named HLS
/home/user # hls-player
/bin/sh: hls-player: not found

Do I have to put any files in /bin/sh ???
I have the required .py files in /home/user

Thanks

Re: How do I install 'hls-player' on N900

This is what the author says about the hls-player.In the author`s tar file, there is no such a thing as 'hls-player'!Only python files (player.py, setup.py, bla bla)....Am I missing something here???The python player.py command doesn`t work because it needs the hls-player in /bin/sh???

http live streaming player
A simple HTTP Live Streaming player written in Python, using GStreamer.

Installation:

sudo python setup.py install

hls-player http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/sa...bipbopall.m3u8
or RTVE:

hls-player http://iphonelive.rtve.es/stream1.m3u8 -r http://m.rtve.es/live/
And that is the command line help:

Usage: hls-player [options] url...

Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose print some debugging (default: False)
-b BITRATE, --bitrate=BITRATE
desired bitrate (default: 200000)
-k KEEP, --keep=KEEP number of segments ot keep (default: 3, -1: unlimited)
-r URL, --referer=URL
Sends the "Referer Page" information with URL
-D, --no-display display no video (default: False)
-s, --save save instead of watch (saves to /tmp/hls-player.ts)
-p PATH, --path=PATH download files to PATH
-n N, --number=N number of player to start (default: 1)

basically if this works we can all enjoy free UK tv on our N900 (tvcatchup streams), but any .m3u8 streams would do.

The way you a trying to work (untar the sources and execute python player.py <url>) is not working because you need to install the module HLS first. Roughly speaking this file named __init__.py in the HLS directory is the HLS module.
You can check if the module HLS exists by starting python in the terminal and type import HLS in the interactive console.

This is the way to install it:
download the source tarball from here: http://gitorious.org/hls-player/hls-...commits/master
open terminal and become root and unpack the source tarball
go into the directory where setup.py is and the HLS directory
Execute the following command: python setup.py install (For this you will need to have python-setuptools installed)
This will make the module HLS available in python

Now you can test your player again :)

Good luck

I think I`m going to stop here....this is beyong my knowledge of linux.One error after the other.

I would aprreciate it though if you could at least try it and see if it actually works with an .m3u8 stream from tvcatchup.Somebody could benefit from this.....making a GUI for hls-player?

Re: How do I install 'hls-player' on N900

You are welcome :). Im a big fan of iptv myself. For Germany there is a similar service like tvcatchup called Onlinetvrecorder which i use quite often. I once tried to get access to tvcatchup but never managed it. At that time tvcatchup was closed down because of legal issues i think.

When i try to launch hls-player gstreamer crashes:

Code:

hls-player -r http://m.rtve.es/live/ http://iphonelive.rtve.es/stream1.m3u8

TypeError: <lambda>() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

Error: GStreamer encountered a general stream error. gstomx_base_filter.c(731): pad_chain (): /GstPipeline:player/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin/GstOmxH264Dec:omxh264dec0:

OpenMAX component in wrong state

ERROR:root:http://iphonelive.rtve.es/stream1/0/384/br109191337-0007137.ts

ERROR:twisted:Unhandled Error

Traceback (most recent call last):

Failure: twisted.web.error.Error: 404 Not Found



Traceback (most recent call last):

Failure: twisted.web.error.Error: 404 Not Found

I think this issue with gstreamer can be solved somehow, maybe gstreamer can't handle the transport-stream or it is initialized incorrectly.
If i just dump the stream i can watch it with mplayer:
hls-player -D -s -p . -k 100 -r http://m.rtve.es/live/ http://iphonelive.rtve.es/stream1.m3u8
mplayer *.ts
I saw small chunks of a brazilian/spanish tv show :)

EDIT: If you can post a url of tvcatchup i will try it

The url does not work for me, i get this response:

Code:

<html><head><title>disconnect flash client</title></head><body><BR>ERROR: null<BR>Disconnected: 0</body></html>

I think there's some login mechanism that prevents me from accessing the stream.
