URL Service JSON.ObjectFromUrl

Hi,

If i have to render a lot DirectoryObjects I reach Timeouts in the Webclient, that’s why I wanted to split the URLs. If it is a .php url the url service should call a function to retreive the correspondig mkv as a jason from a webserver.

The mkv files are returned succesful, but the .php parsing doesn’t seem to happen. It always returns

I verified that the media is available, and going the way manual works every time. Could someone take a look?

You are doing url = GetJsonFromUrl(url), and the function GetJsonFromUrl returns a JSON Object. Then you are setting the key of the part object to url.

You might need to extract the string containing the actual url from the JSON Object ‘url’.

The JSON Object returned only contains only the URL.

If I call this function one while creating the Play VideoClipObject it works. But not on Desktop because a hardcoded Timeout. It drives me crazy.

It Seems there is something deeper wrong. Even this, won’t work.

Passing the hardcoded url in the lookup, returns succesfull, but feeding the Url Service with any other url returns not available instead of the hardcoded url.

def MediaObjectsForURL(url):

	if ".mkv" in url:
		continue
	else:	
		url = "http://s1.example.com/files/asd1.mkv?st=yAv5SdHBTtrgdJVyHkqR3A&e=1444591762"

The corresponding Log. I think I am too stupid for python tbh. It is always line 28, and line 28 doesn’t contain something specific.
