Ustream.tv Plug-in No Longer Works

[thackettx51v]

It seems like at 6:00 AM EST, ustream.tv may have updated their servers because livestreamer can no longer record any stream from ustream.tv. I tried different channels on ustream.tv and tried both v1.11.1 and v1.12.0 on the Windows port of livestreamer without success. I've tested this on two different Windows machines and on two different Internet connections.

The error is "error: No streams found on this URL: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/...."

same problem linux v1.12.0

[vperilla]

the same on my machine with 1.12.0 :(

_channel_id_re = re.compile(""channelId":(\d+)")

I can confirm this too. I use Livestreamer with my ISS-Above devices and users can no longer view the NASA HDEV video stream. Verified no Ustream channel can be accessed.

@trUSTssc - is that some kind of a workarund / fix? If so... can you explain how to apply that?

[liamkennedy]

OK... probably obvious but I had to do a little "thinking" to work out where that change should go on my Pi.

So I see it's in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/livestreamer/plugins/ustreamtv.py

then just replace the existing line which starts _channel_id_re = with the provided fix above.

And... that does seem to fix it.

Thanks for showing what needs to be done.

Will this be included in a quick update... or do I need to implement a work-around in the meantime?

I only have to get about 450 of my users to run the Livestreamer component update process - assuming 1.12.2 can be released right away. Otherwise I'm likely going to have to get a little creative.

yes with this code
_channel_id_re = re.compile(""channelId":(\d+)")
it works
thanks trUSTssc

I can still work with it in 18/03/2015 19:00 (HKT)
However, tonight, it doesn't work.

liamkennedy: "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/livestreamer/plugins/ustreamtv.py"
Is it something to deal with regedit?
How to change the value?

[vperilla]

edit livestreamer/src/livestreamer/plugins/ustreamtv.py at line 33
and then build again...

[ChoRyuJin]

How can I build it?
python ustreamtv.py build? However, It has syntax error

I'm newbie to program. I'm sorry about that.

• Download the complete source code from GitHub
• Make your changes in /livestreamer/src/livestreamer/plugins/ustream.py
• Open CMD and move to /livestreamer or right click into the directory while holding shift and select "Open command prompt here"
• Enter "python setup.py install" and hit enter

Thank you skulblakka! I could record things properly!
I noticed that If I enter command in cmd under windows, it is not necessary to enter "python"
I noticed that some other folders were also created. What are those folders? Is it necessary?
