VLC IPTV how to play *.m3u8

[AUGE_OHR]

hi,

i can play "local" file in my HMG VLC App using

Code: Select all

      ::oPlaylist:items:clear()
      ::oPlaylist:add( "File:///" + ::cFileName )
      ::oInput:position := 0
      IF HB_ISBLOCK( ::bOnSetFile )
         EVAL( ::bOnSetFile, Self, cFileName )
      ENDIF

now i got a *.m3u8 File which i can open/play in VLC "direct"
i have to use URL like https://mcdn.daserste.de/daserste/de/master.m3u8 in VLC Player

but how to play in "my App" ? i try

Code: Select all

      ::oPlaylist:add( "https://mcdn.daserste.de/daserste/de/master.m3u8" )

but that seems not to work.

Maybe just the name of file master.m3u8 ...

::oPlaylist:add( "File:///" + ::cFileName )

hi,

have figure out how to play IP-TV using VLC

Demo will create a "Config.INI" where you can change Size of App ( Default 800x600 )

after start IPTV.EXE it will show Main Window where you got a List of free TV / Radio Station
to use "your" Language use Combobox to set "Filter"

! Note : Config.INI does have

Code: Select all

Country=

which will used for Combobox

to start free TV / Radio Station Dblclick in BROWSE or on "Logo" of Station ( unknown = "i" )
it will "minimize" Main to Task-Tray and open a new Windows in Full-HD (1920x1080)

you can resize Windows if TV ( Radio only small Titlebar)
if DblClick it will change into FullScreen / Normal

press ESC tp close Window -> Main appear again
btw. Dblclick on Task-Tray Icon will hide/show Main App

sometimes it need some Time until Connection is done so "wait" ...
but also a URL my be "not valid anymore" ... don´t know how to "check it" (yet)

hi,

last Version was 32 Bit so it need 32 Bit VLC which i have also used for my Xbase++ App.
but on 64 Bit OS most have 64 Bit Version of VLC installed which will NOT work wirh 32 Bit VLC Engine

so i create 64 Bit HMG App using 64 Bit VLC Engine

---

new :
Ctrl + F : LOCATE for Channel-No, Name or Country (TVGROUP)
! Note : it work CASE sensitive
! Tip : try

Star

and click on "Star Trek"

Taskline in VLC Player Windows ( now real Full-HD ) will automatic hide after some Time
when move over Taskline you can right-click to get Context Menu ( work with Table PC )

in Main Windows right-click Context Menu to "read" *.m3u8 File into (UNICODE) DBF
! Note : new DBF will have same Name as *.m3u8 File in same Folder

...

before start new Version please delete *.CDX which will be create new ( without UPPER() )

hi Andy,

Sorry, my VLC is portable...

i "think" COM-Interface need Registry Stetting

Code: Select all

            PROGID "VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2"

which is not available in Portable Version (without Manifest File which include it )
