Creating adhoc TheatreView items + starting up RTMP streams
« on: October 18, 2012, 08:33:40 am »

Two quick question (hopefully) for the MC team -

1) I'd like to generate some "on the fly" items within TheatreView - currently looking at Hulu items;  the easiest methodology so far has been to generate playlists and allow TheatreView to render what I've generate, but there seems to be a delay between generating the playlist and it being displayed on the screen - is there a way to directly create items of a given "type" (roller, category, media item, etc, etc) on the screen in real time?

2) It appears that MC has already got the authentication/token/setting up of RTMP streams under control for Hulu is there any way to tap this functionality and pass MC the basic URL (ie, minus tokens) and allow MC to take care of setting things up?  Would save re-inventing a bit of the wheel!

RTMP playback should work.

But the URL will be huge, and contains extra parameters.  For example, a Hulu playback URL might look like:
Code: [Select]
rtmpe://cp39466.edgefcs.net/ondemand?sessionid=sessionId&auth=daEdTakcgbva5cpbVcObqcBbHdRboaidbbM-bqGaJT-c0-1nFDxDoYHzr&aifp=sll02152008&slist=hulu7/506/60133506;.international=false&hgt=OZU7Pvs7j27-nhteNno7wj0Cex5DrncKi0CcIEkO58-IVe1uhe1lXH0-zj4dfmWK0dHDS-soDbruKlBURCqMj3EJr2GEQo2TMNZMdKAkLbUjPgHtAyW4SoID_kdgzM7GeHdaSWgGreUgKG4QoZL01RuKUFaC1DvGN61G6V-q8egPGHrMbJJHlzcQs3gy4w3WqNNtjSgzjnonhJkV4QYE9Wdartxr6Ut2GGqlUHu-P7G3qW273G3bLclTczMXkfDV&hgt_ver=331370278 swfurl=http://download.hulu.com/huludesktop.swf playpath=mp4:hulu7/506/60133506/agave50355891_12681840_H264_1000.mp4 pageUrl=http://download.hulu.com/huludesktop.swf app=ondemand?sessionid=sessionId&auth=daEdTakcgbva5cpbVcObqcBbHdRboaidbbM-bqGaJT-c0-1nFDxDoYHzr&aifp=sll02152008&slist=hulu7/506/60133506;.international=false&hgt=OZU7Pvs7j27-nhteNno7wj0Cex5DrncKi0CcIEkO58-IVe1uhe1lXH0-zj4dfmWK0dHDS-soDbruKlBURCqMj3EJr2GEQo2TMNZMdKAkLbUjPgHtAyW4SoID_kdgzM7GeHdaSWgGreUgKG4QoZL01RuKUFaC1DvGN61G6V-q8egPGHrMbJJHlzcQs3gy4w3WqNNtjSgzjnonhJkV4QYE9Wdartxr6Ut2GGqlUHu-P7G3qW273G3bLclTczMXkfDV&hgt_ver=331370278 swfVfy=1

Thanks Matt!  I suppose I could build and stuff this into the FileName field on the fly....

Any thoughts on alternative ways to generate Theater View items?

Matt - just thinking about this; is there an alternate way to get Hulu running within MC outside of setting up an RTMP stream?
