Hi Guys,
Since a couple of days I am developing plugins for Plex. But I have some problems playing WMV-Files from a certain website.
WMV-Files from www.sbs6gemist.nl do play in Plex.
e.g. http://asx.sbsnet.nl/sbs6/undercoverinnede…_7bd01121a4.wmv
But I can’t figure out why WMV-Files from www.rtlgemist.nl don’t play in Plex.
e.g. http://av.rtl.nl/web/components/shows/ikho…WM_1500K_V9.wmv
Both files do play in VLC and Quicktime (Flip4Mac). Am I doing something wrong? Has it something to do with DRM? I don’t know if the files contain DRM. Or has this something to do with Plex itself?
I hope someone can help?
Thx Danny

Sample Plugin

Try to change the protocol header from MMS to HTTP or RTSP
This helped me with the German TV (ZDF & ARD)
Try to DOWNLOAD a stream and see if it uses DRM … as far as I know DRM is not supported within PLEX.
Hope this helps

I already tried to change the protocol. The url I use starts with http (also tried rtsp), but it still seems to redirect itself to mms://.
How can I check a file for DRM?
The file does play in VLC and Flip4Mac, does this mean something according to DRM?
When you play it with VLC or Quicktime (Flip4Mac) … can you see if the streams are using DRM ?
I am sorry, I am kind of new to video streams. How can I see in VLC of Quicktime that the file is using DRM?
I found this article about DRM in VLC.
http://wiki.videolan.org/DRM
Can I conclude that when the file plays in VLC that it is not DRM protected?
I downloaded the wmv-file. I just opens in Plex.
Anyone more ideas?
DELETED …
So you COPIED the stream?! And it now plays within PLEX?!
Please can you send the COMPLETE "PLEX.LOG" to see what happens ... please SWITCH on DEBUG as well.
I guess there is something else giving PLEX the hic-ups.
I downloaded the wmv file with SDP Downloader. And when I open this file in plex, it plays.

Thanks for your help…
I looked into this and also tried to play any of the streams you supplied.
IN VLC ... I can play them .. when downloaded I can play them
But not as a stream ... you had a few things not 100% correct in your plug in ... look [here](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php?showtopic=5547) for a little info.
But either way ... I too was not able to get them played ... Maybe one of the dev team can help you further ... I had also issues with WMV playback ... but got it to work on a BETA version of plex 7.15.5 ... but your urls still do not play here too.
For other people to try ... here is one of the URLs:

This link DOES work in VLC, QUICKTIME (Flip4Mac) and PLEX

This link DOES work in VLC, QUICKTIME (Flip4Mac) and NOT PLEX

Thanks for the info about plugins, I’ll that a look at it. Where can I get a copy of 0.7.15.5?
The official next version should be out shortly (within 24 hours or so).
