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

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

Thanks
The problem is: In the file player.py a module named HLS get's imported. 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 really appreciate your help!I have managed to install everything correctly as you said.Now for actually playing a video stream this is another story!ehehehe....I`ve tried couple of links, a video player comes up but it doesn`t play anything....if I go to the xterm...surprise surprise, a million errors!!!

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?

Thanks

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.
