I'm seeing the same problem as Martin. Turned on SMPlayer logging (Settings->Advanced->Logs->Save SMPlayer log to a file) and I see the error 'SSL handshake failed' in the log. I have the latest openssl 1.0.2j installed (from ANPM). Any idea what may be wrong? I have also updated the youtube code with no change. Also deleted all files in the .smplayer folder and restarted and reset preferences, but still no luck...
Hi Dave!
As mentioned in a post on Friday, I don't think SMPlayer will be the answer for YouTube Live streaming, based on what I found, repeated below:
"Reading on-line about SMPlayer and YouTube Live Streaming, I found the following at
http://blog.smplayer.info/how-to-play-youtube-live-streams-with-smplayer/"It’s also necessary to use SMPlayer with mpv, since MPlayer doesn’t seem to support very well live streams from YouTube. Visit
http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/mpv.php to find out how to install SMPlayer with mpv"
I have been able to play YouTube Live files only for about 5 seconds, using:
Open URL
Settings in Preferences:
General - Video - kva (fast)
General - Audio - kai (dart mode) (although I have UniAud installed)
Network - YouTube (which I believe is the default)
Performance - Cache (streaming) - I put a large number in to see whether it would allow it to play longer - didn't see any improvement but thought it might be a solution.
I have a satellite connection, so I thought that might be the issue but Neil reported similar, so I suspect that was not the problem.
As Dave Yeo reported that an MPV and SMPlayer solution is unlkely given 3D acceleration not being available. I would think SMPlayer seems to be a dead end at the moment for video streaming Warpstock (but works well for many other applications.
Best!
