Hello :-)
When you are reporting that an FRD plugin
is not working, it'd be nice to also include in your report:
1. OS version & architecture
2. Version of Java installed
3. We'll assume you are running latest version of FRD, but
that is not always the case for all people, and I guess
"New plug-in" implies you're on iprima.frp 2.0.0 already...
4. Stating physical location as, especially for TV plugins,
most content is geo-blocked :-(
5. Attaching "app.log" is always a big help to devs
for debugging reported issue...;-)
Are you actually trying to download from within the Czech Republic?
All three of your referenced sample links are geo-blocked to
not be accessible from non-CZ IPs...:-(
When I try in a browser (Firefox, after first disabling uBlock Origin...:X) ,
I get the following error message:
Litujeme, tento pořad nelze z licenčních důvodů přehrávat mimo Českou republiku
(... thanks to Google Translate, it means:
Sorry, this show can not be played outside the Czech Republic
due to licensing reasons)
After some search, I was successful in finding
a half-working Czech HTTP Proxy
(194 dot 213 dot 60 dot 227:8585)
and after configuring Firefox to using it, I was
successful in by-passing their geo-filter;
show tried was:
Hrůza v oblacích
and eventually sniffed the following SD HLS playlist:
IS NOT GEO-BLOCKED, so I was able to fetch
via ffmpeg from my non-CZ IP (see previous posts
of mine in this thread):
When I then configured FRD to use
the mentioned open CZ HTTP proxy,
which has little working bandwidth, FRD would:
1. Either "fail to parse playlist"
(this could mean it was unable to download
the master playlist or the chosen "child" playlist,
tong you know what I mean...;-) ), or
2. Parsing the playlist would succeed, but the
actual download would never start (timed-out
connection) or would start at excruciatingly
slow speeds, to eventually stop altogether soon
after...
The above are caused because the plugin
tries to shift all HTTP traffic through provided
(weak) proxy...
@tong2shot:
For geo-blocked TV shows on iPrima, the plugin has to
use provided HTTP proxy ONLY for fetching THE MASTER
APPLEHLS URL - the child playlists
(.../chunklist_b*******.m3u8) AND THE ACTUAL STREAM
DOWNLOAD should be made via a DIRECT connection...
When one not in CZ Rep tries to download a blocked show,
maybe the plugin could print an alert to advise him/her to use
a geo-location circumvention method, if available (CZ proxy or
CZ VPN), or you can do it via the ITV plugin method and
couple iPrima.frp with Tor.frp (to use a CZ exit node) but
only for those shows that give the geo-location error,
because (unlike ITV Hub) there are many shows on iPrima PLAY
that are currently freely available from non-CZ IPs...
Apologies for giving you additional staff to work on...:P
Regards (and Happy Holidays...)
