BBC-Sport Streams

Hello,

1. I suggested you to open the new thread if you want to talk about other than IPTVPlayer plugin.

2. I asked you to send me example link to playable sport live stream from https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport did you send it?

If not why you think that this will be this added?

Regards,

SSS

Hi,

as suggested I would like to open a new thread for this toppic. As far as I know the BBC does not offer there sport videos via the the iplayer. They have a sepereate app for that called BBCSport which is available for smart phones and some smart tvs. Here you can find some information about it:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/27688551.
Here Via the website https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport you can access these videos and live-streams.

I would be great if these videos and streams would also be playable and recordable within the iptv-player as well as the "normal" iplayer videos. The old "BBC iPlayer Recorder" made it possible to acces these streams, but it does noch work anymore.

Hope there will be an update for the iptv-player soon because I would love to watch and record the upcoming wimbledon tennis-streams :)

Hi I know they will be streaming all game in 4k from the bbciplayer see here:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-44308154

however they wuill be a limit of 10 000 user connected to their servers.

is there any bbciplayer plugin for enigma2 that with the capabiltity to stream in 4k??

This is wrong question. You should ask if your set-top-box support 4K resolution for the codec which will be used by BBC,

samx3 thank you very much fro clarifying this.

i guess this leads to two questions.

1. is there a bbciplayer app that can be installed on enigma, not through KODI just like the apps on smart tv or xbox1?

2. if this app exist providing that some has a 4k box like me (vu+zero4k) will my "set-top-box support 4K resolution for the codec which will be used by BBC,"

thanks everybody in advance

At first you must know what video codec they use for 4K streams.

If they use H264 then your set-top-box (vu+zero4k) will not be able handle it.

It will be able if they use H265.

4K in set-top-box name does not mean that it is able to play any streams with this resolution. Please check your set-top-box specification.

hi samsamsam,

thank for this info. i think it does

Video decoding:

Video compression HVEC / H.265, MPEG-2 / H.264 and MPEG-1 compatible

Video standard PAL G / 25 Hz, NTSC

Picture format 4: 3/16: 9

Letterbox for 4: 3 TV sets

i know it does not play AVI files. back to the questions 1

1. is there a bbciplayer plugin that can be installed on enigma, not through KODI just like the apps on smart tv or xbox1?

thx

You not read what I wrote.

For sure your STB is able to decode h264 but what is the max resolution for this codec?

Most probably the max max resolution for codec H264 is FULL HD and 4K for H265 (HVEC)

This question is Off Topic question. What is the topic of this thread?

Still no one provide link to the BBC site were live video stream is available to check. So, if BBC provide live streams then please provide URL to such stream.

I am not able to find any playable video live stream on https://www.bbc.com/sport/live-guide

So, were they are? You are talking about live streams from BBC but were there are on the www?

At now there is match Spanish - Portugal.

So, where BBC provide live stream to this match?

I do not see live video here: https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/43973862

so were?

OK. There is need to have UK IP and have an account to be able to play live stream.

But as I checked max resolution of this stream is HD Ready:

<Representation id="video=281000" bandwidth="281000" width="384" height="216" frameRate="25" codecs="avc3.42C015" scanType="progressive"/>
      <Representation id="video=437000" bandwidth="437000" width="512" height="288" frameRate="25" codecs="avc3.4D4015" scanType="progressive"/>
      <Representation id="video=827008" bandwidth="827008" width="704" height="396" frameRate="25" codecs="avc3.4D401E" scanType="progressive"/>
      <Representation id="video=1604032" bandwidth="1604032" width="960" height="540" frameRate="25" codecs="avc3.4D401F" scanType="progressive"/>
      <Representation id="video=2812032" bandwidth="2812032" width="960" height="540" frameRate="50" codecs="avc3.64001F" scanType="progressive"/>
      <Representation id="video=5070016" bandwidth="5070016" width="1280" height="720" frameRate="50" codecs="avc3.640020" scanType="progressive"/>

So, where 4K is?

Thanks for the info.

Anyway do someone is able to dump BBC app from supported device?

Or anyone know KODI addon which is able to provide 4K/FULL HD links to live sport streams?
