Can't watch recordings in Browser
Added by Wolfgang Buesser almost 7 years ago
I am trying to watch recordings in the Firefox-Browser.
When I am accessing the recordings-page and click on the view-icon for any recording, a dialog opens to select an appropriate player.
I choose the suggested default: SMPlayer.
The player opens but when I press play nothing happens.
I can however watch the recording on the Kodi-client running on a raspi.
I can also watch live-TV in the browser using the 'watch-Live-TV' link.
What could be wrong? Should I use a different player? Which one?
Thanks
Wolfgang
BTW: The OS of the server and the client is CENTOS 7

I have tried it in chrome - does not work either.
Anybody out there knowing how to play recordings in tvheadend?

I have written a small wrapper around smplayer that does the job:
#!/bin/perl#open(my $fh, ">", "/scr/output.txt") or die "Can't open > /scr/output.txt: $!";
while (<>) {
if($_ !~ /^#/) {
- print $fh $_;
chop $_;
chop $_;
$command_string="smplayer \"".$_ ."\"\n"; - print $command_string;
system($command_string)
}
}
If I specify this script when being asked for an application to play a recording,
it works.
Is this really necessary?
