Playing videos from site Vsetv.net

Vsetv.net allows to watch Ukrainian TV channels in browser.
I am developing a channel for playing these videos via plex server (I want to play it on my Samsung Smart TV).
On the homepage they have list of channels - I parse it and output into menu - this works fine.
I have also create a URL service to handle urls like vsetv.net/stbua.html, this service parses html content and extracts actual stream url which looks like this.

I can play fine video from this url using web browser or vlc player if I am on the same external IP.

I tried different approaches for sending the url to plex player but neither of them works fine:

def MediaObjectsForURL(url):

    Log.Debug("Media objects requested: %s" % (url))

    return [
        MediaObject(
            video_codec = VideoCodec.H264,
            audio_codec = AudioCodec.AAC,
            # container = Container.MP4,
            video_resolution = 576,
            audio_channels = 2,
            optimized_for_streaming = True,
            parts = [
                # PartObject(key = HTTPLiveStreamURL(Callback(PlayVideo, url=url)))
                PartObject(key = Callback(PlayVideo, url=url))
            ]
        )
    ]

def PlayVideo(url):

    content = HTTP.Request(url).content

    video_url = RE_VIDEO_URL.search(content).group('video_url')

    Log.Debug("Requested url: %s, Playing url: %s" % (url, video_url))

    # return IndirectResponse(VideoClipObject, key=video_url)
    return IndirectResponse(VideoClipObject, HTTPLiveStreamURL(url=video_url))
    # return Redirect(video_url)
    # return HTTP.Request(video_url).content

Hi!

There are a couple of things that need to be fixed. I’ve sent you a pull request on Github.

Thanks for this. I have merged those changes.
Unfortunately video is still not playing in my browser :frowning:

Sander. I tried this on my home PMS with Samsung TV and android client. This works. Thanks a lot.
