Thanks meo!
I did that and the videos start playing, but only plays for a few seconds and then ends.
No idea what the reason for that could be.
Thanks and Cheers,

... the videos start playing, but only play for a few seconds and then end.
That actually just happens with PMC on OS X. When I try to play it on my Apple TV (via PlexConnect ...) it plays with a lot of buffering and stuttering.
Will check tonight if I had a connectivity issue.
When I go to http://http://tvthek.orf.at directly via a browser, I can play all videos in all resolutions just fine w/o any stuttering an buffering, so there does not seem to be a connectivity issue.
Trying the same with PMC, Plex/Web or PlexConnect causes serious stuttering and buffering breaks.
What can I / do I need to adjust in my URL Service to get the videos played/streamed smoother?

The site uses another streaming method(RTMP perhaps?) so that is a difference. Do you have an iOS device you could try on the website?
Speaking of PMC, the HLS code is really old in that client(one of the first versions of HLS in FFMPEG) so stuttering and buffering happens quite often.
UPDATE:
- Do you have the code somewhere? I could try the plugin and see if the same fault happens for me...

@meo (and everybody else who wants to take a look ...):
I put my code on GitHub here.
I did not really had a chance to work on it since my last post, so everything still looks the same.

the channels on this site uses protected rtmp protocol to play it's contents, as an example to the format :
<rtmp://apasfw.apa.at/cms-worldwide playpath=mp4:2013-10-20_1200_tl_02_Hohes-Haus_Signation__6948661__o__0000884241__s6948663___on_ORF2HiRes_11591106P_1Â swfUrl=http://tvthek.orf.at/flash/player/TVThekPlayer_9_ver22.swf pageUrl=http://tvthek.orf.at/programs/1264-Hohes-Haus>

Ok, I tried it out and here are my thoughts:
- PMC or PHT can't handle HLS that requires cookies
- Some of the clips are geoblocked to Austria
- I tried a Weather episode on my iPad and it played smoothly.
So, the stuttering problem seems to be a network issue for you?

There are also HLS streams available, but maybe the RTMP streams are preferable now since the HLS streams uses cookies(which rules out PMC and PHT clients)...
@meo, @MAX_IQ - thanks for your comments, but I am not really sure what I am supposed to do next to get this working ...
Thanks and Cheers,

Hi!
any news on this one?
It would be awesome to have this channel back again.
thanks for your efforts guys!

Oh, this was quite some time ago now, I completely missed it.
I've forked your repo on github and have updated the URL service to use MP4 instead of HLS.
I also added some examples(commented out) for how to use RTMP or HLS if the need for it should arise:
https://github.com/meriko/ORFTVThek/blob/master/Contents/Services/URL/ORF%20TVThek/ServiceCode.pys
I've tested playback of 3 different videos with MP4 and it seems to work ok.
