Serviio

New plugin for ARD "Mediathek"
it should give access to the stored content, but not to live-streams
fsk rated videos are accessible all the time and not only after 20:00 or 22:00

The following URL should give access to a variety of Tatort episodes and related clips

Physikus, thank you for this plugin!

Unfortunately, it's not working for me. The plugin is recognized by serviio and it starts parsing, but doesn't retrieve any content, i.e. actually no online content is being stored. Here is my log output (following your 'tatort' example):


Any hints?

Cheers,

Hi bitmaster,

well, I just looked at my configuration. I have configured the URL exactly as shown in the example and it's working fine for me.
My serviio is running under Windows (WHS2011).
Have you tried the URL with a webbrowser?
Maybe it's some kind of geoblocking. I'm from Germany as you may have guessed.

Perhaps another ULR like 'http://www.ardmediathek.de/tv/suche?searchText=tagesschau' is working?

Currently I have no clue why it's not working for you.

Hi Physikus,

I'm from Germany as well I have tested with a few other search strings, but no luck - maybe it's related to the server version. Which version of serviio are you using? Mine is 1.6.1 Pro on Ubuntu 14.04.

I'll also try increasing my log level to see whether it could be a problem with my version of ffmpeg...

Viele Grüße,
bitmaster

Edit: All the search URLs are working in my web browser.

Hi,

I'm also running Serviio 1.6.1 pro. The main difference seems to be the operating system (Windows Home Server 2011 for me).

I used the following addinional log config:



The log is showing something like this:



Please try the obove log configuration and post the result.
What about the ZDF-plugin. Is it not working also?

Physikus

[Edit: Saw your answer just now, sorry! ZDF plugin is working, found the problem with these loggging settings and the standalone debugging instructions from the wiki]

...finally got it to work...

I had set the "Max number of feed items to retrieve" to unlimited, which sets
This made the item list size always larger than
which made the extractItems function not loop over the found URLs.

I attached a new version which will extract all available items when set to unlimited (watch out... ). I also extended the buildItem function to append the extracted date to the item titles (useful for e.g. Tagesschau items, and also some Tatorts which have no date in their main title).

Hope this may also help a few others

And thanks again to Physikus for this very useful plugin!

Cheers,
Bitmaster

PS: Here's a diff:

Hi bitmaster,

thanks for investigating this issue. In my configuration I've set a limit for online retrieval. So I did not run into this error.
But I'm astonished that your solution is working correctly. I think the check in the loop should be something like this

and not

because | is a bitwise and not a logical operator and because of operator precedence.

Best,
Physikus

Hi Physikus,

the | should be the bitwise OR of the boolean results of the "less than" and the "equals" operations - so bitwise should be fine.
Initially I had set braces around terms according to the desired precedence, but removed all of them after checking for the Java/Groovy operator precedence, which as far as I could see should be fine (I'm not very familiar with Java/Groovy):
comparison -> binary (& | ^) -> logical (&& ||)

Best,
Bitmaster

You're right.
Bitwise OR has a slightly higher precedence than logical AND.
