I have added non default entry into the access list with no change. This is all with John Torblon transcoding branch.
I am currently testing with latest version where I have other issues unfortunatelly.

Hmmmmm.... hard to say. I'm using tvheadend built from git master maybe a couple weeks ago. The account I log in as has permission to everything except admin.

I have figured it out finally. While looking at tvheadend web UI under configuration all channels do have notset in the number column. The vlc access module does not list channels with no channel number.
So the fix is either that channels should all be numbered in tvheadend. Or the module it-self can be fixed not to require channel numbers.
I have posted about it on github: https://github.com/BtbN/vlc-htsp-plugin/issues/2

I copied the plugin into the directory that you mentioned above, but VLC does not include the Plugin. How can I tell VLC to use that plugin?

Thanks,
Michael

It will just use it, you don't need to enable it. Did you install binary or from source? If binary it may be compiled against a different VLC version and won't work. Try installing from source.

Now it works. The problem was the permissions of the plugin...

Hello Michael
I am having the same problem with the plugin,I copied it in the directory but it doesn't appears in VLC.
I have given permissions to the plugin with the command: sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libhtsp_plugin.so

but this didn't work for me.

Could you tell me how did you solve the problem please?

Thanks and sorry for my pour English

You should find the settings for that plugin in Tools -> Preferences.
Choose "Show settings" -> All
Type into the search field in the upper left "htsp".

If something appears, it is working.

Thanks for your answer Michael, but the problem what I'm having is just that. I copied the file libhtsp_plugin.so in the directory /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access but when I open VLC and choose Tools->Preferences->Show All and I type "HTSP" into the search field, Doesn't appear anything.

I don't understand what I'm doing bad.

I repeated the process a lot of times and I tried with the 32 bits version and the 64 bits version (I'm working in Ubuntu 12.04 x64) but the result is the same, the plugin seems not be recognized for VLC.

Any idea?

Hello Michael,

I have same problem as Victor Saiáns - on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, VLC 2.0.8 after copy libhtsp_plugin.so to /usr/lib/VLC/plugins/access doesn't appear in VLC (Tools->Preferences->Show All->"HTSP") HTSP preferences. Do you have any idea how to get libhtsp_plugin.so worked on ubuntu 64bit?

And also I would like to ask if there is any news with closing problem while stream channel changing in HTTP protocol
https://tvheadend.org/d/439-how-to-play-tvheadens-streams-in-vlc
?

My server TVHEADEND is running on Raspberry PI + Openelec (or RASPBMC).

Thanks for any informations in advance

Hello Jiri,

I finally solved this problem. I have been trying to find which is the problem with de libhtsp_plugin.so which I was using, and I discovered that the last compiled version of the proyect doesn't work with VLC 2.0.8 for me (It's a libraries problem) and simply I tried with a older compiled version (of 22-sept-2013 I think), and that version works for me.

I hope that It will help you.
