plex/web audio player

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

I am developing my own channel. The channel streams/plays podcasts. However, the streams are aac. My plugin works on plexht and in the iOS client. The plex/web audioplayer does not play them.

 

I get no error messages in the logs. I can see that (with chromiums developer tools) that the browser is continuosly downloading data from the stream. But playback is not starting. 

 

Is this a known bug?

 

My plugin is located at https://github.com/dinapappor/SverigesRadio.bundle if you'd like to review my code to make sure there's not an error with the plugin.

 

Thanks!

 

(I will submit this code once everything is working and I am satisfied with it.)

 

 

This behaviour is consistent with Firefox 24.0,  Chromium 29.0.1547.76 (223446) and Opera 12.6. This also happends to the shoutcast plugin when trying to play aac streams.

Looks like the issue is that your CreateTrackObject is only returning a TrackObject. There are times when it actually should be returning an ObjectContainer with the TrackObject inside and others where it should be just the TrackObject. Take a look at the PlexPodcast channel to see an example.

Including the TrackObject in a ObjectContainer gives me the error:

FrameworkException: Object of type '' cannot be added to this container.

I am able to play other aac-content, but they are not being streams though, but m4a-files.
