| - | ====== Serviio Plugins ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Serviio plugins provide access to online sources such as Youtube or Regional Catchup TV services (e.g. BBC Iplayer). | ||
| - | |||
| - | This feature was made available as part of Serviio 0.6, the plugins [[http:// | ||

| - | |||
| - | From version 0.6.1 Serviio supports plugins for **RSS/Atom feeds** and other **Web Resources**. Note some feeds that link directly to media require no plugin at all! | ||
| - | |||
| - | Plugins help Serviio locate the exact location of the media streams as the feed often links to html pages rather than the stream. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====== Installation ====== | ||
| - | 1. Download the plugin | ||
| - | 2. Copy the plugin to the plugins folder (eg to / | ||
| - | 3. Configure Serviio with at least one url to an RSS feed. This is done using the serviio console using the Online Source Tab which is found on the Library tab. | ||
| - | |||
| - | After up to 5 mins the streams should be available to view. On the DLNA client look for a new folder called " | ||

| - | Online content is usually served via **http** or **rtmp** protocol. The former is very easy to consume. The latter is mostly used by Adobe Flash servers and used in many online video services and FFmpeg compiled with [[http:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | Feed item URLs can expire with time, if that is the case you will have to provide the expiry date so that Serviio can re-run the URL extraction when that happens and get a valid URL when necessary. You can also define whether the content is a live stream or static content. | ||

| - | <note tip> | ||
| - | * Look at existing plugins, there may be a plugins that can be adapted with only minor changes | ||
| - | * The plugins can be largely tested outside of serviio (to speed up development). | ||
| - | * Look at Youtube.groovy' | ||
| - | * test1: does this plugin correctly identifies feeds it can and can't handle | ||
| - | * test2: when given a link from an rss item, does the plugin correctly determine the media? | ||
| - | * Once the tests above pass it's time to install the plugin and do some final testing | ||

| - | |||
| - | A plugin can be tested outside of groovy by running: | ||
| - | |||
| - | __On Windows:__ | ||
| - | groovy -cp " | ||
| - | |||
| - | I suggest to create a MS-DOS batch file (ex: "{{ : | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | @echo off | ||
| - | @ set ServiioPath=" | ||
| - | @echo " | ||
| - | %GROOVY_HOME%\bin\groovy.exe -cp " | ||
| - | @pause | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | __On Linux:__ | ||
| - | From your serviio install folder (eg / | ||
| - | |||
| - | groovy -cp lib/ | ||

| - | Logging is configured through conf/ | ||
