Youtube Playback

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
   youtube playback is solved. XBMC or xbmc-send don't handle correctly long-url sent by iThing. I've patched playMedia function in play2wifi with:

    def playMedia(self, data):
        sub1 = 'Content-Location: '
        sub2 = '\nStart-Position: '
        location = data.split(sub1)[-1].split(sub2)[0]
        self.__mylogger.debug("Found the following Media to play: "+location)
        if location.find("googlevideo") > 0:
            url_data = urllib.urlencode(dict("url"=location))
            ret = urllib.urlopen("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php", data=url_data).read().strip()
            subprocess.call(["xbmc-send", "-a", "PlayMedia("+ret+")"], cwd="./", stdout=open("/dev/null", 'w'))
        else:
            subprocess.call(["xbmc-send", "-a", "PlayMedia("+location+")"], cwd="./", stdout=open("/dev/null", 'w'))


creating a tinyurl on-the-fly and works. I think that you can change the 
condition (location.find("googlevideo")) and check the url length OR create a 
local playlist file and then playback this file with PlayMedia function.

Bye,
Angelo
