Support node problem

Products and Solutions Questions, proposals and requests

Hi everyone
I createed my source with VLC http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/race. I have for testing created VM Box and installed ubuntu 18. I tested it with this one and it works fine.

/opt/acestream/acestreamengine --stream-source \
--name "test" \
--title "Test translation" \
--source "http://xx.xx.xx.x:8080/espn" \
--bitrate 300000 \
--publish-dir "/ace/streams" \
--cache-dir "/ace/tmp/streams" \
--skip-internal-tracker \
--tracker "udp://9.rarbg.me:2710/announce" \
--quality HD \
--category sport \
--log-stdout

Now I want to create a private source from my computers VM Box and one or two support nodes from 3thrd party source.

I use this one for my stream source

/opt/acestream/acestreamengine --stream-source \
--name "test" \
--title "Test translation" \
--source "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/race" \
--bitrate 300000 \
--publish-dir "/ace/streams" \
--cache-dir "/ace/tmp/streams" \
--quality HD \
--category sport \
--log-stdout

It works but when I add support node like --support-node “xx.xxx.xxx.xx:8621” \ I get error
error: argument --support-node-cleanup-interval: invalid int value: ‘http://xx.xx.xx.xx.xx:8621/’

and I create support node with this.

/opt/acestream/acestreamengine --stream-support-node \
--url "http://xx.xx.xx.xx/123.acelive" \
--state-dir "/tmp" \
--log-stdout

Support node looks like working with no error but I dont know how to test it.

Your statements do not correspond each other (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/race vs http://xx.xx.xx.x:8080/espn)

If you can download something from support node - then it works. Refer to readme, examples and scripts at GitHub - acestream/streaming-utils: A set of utilities to start streaming with Ace Stream - they more recent, then examples on wiki.

I think I definitely doing something wrong and now stuck here maybe you know what is causing this error?

root@xxx:~/src/src# python start_streamers.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Looks like error in your JSON conf file. Refer JSON - Wikipedia - this file must conform to specific format.

Original config file https://github.com/acestream/streaming-utils/blob/master/config/config-template.json had one too many coma.

But still, I run start_streamers.py get this message but nothing else.

root@xxx:/opt/src/config# python /opt/src/src/start_streamers.py
2019-09-21 12:35:35,259|MainThread|start|0 running instances, loaded 1 streams

My Configs:

[
    {
        "stream_uid": "Testing",
        "port": 8640,
        "title": "Testing Title",

    }

    ,"root": "/opt/app"
    ,"controller": {

        "support_node": "http://example.com/support_node/get_config.php",
        "monitor": "http://example.com/monitor/data_receiver.php",

    }
    ,"dirs": {

    }
    ,"trackers": [
        "udp://9.rarbg.me:2710/announce"
    ]
}

Why values for “support_node”, “monitor” and “metadata_receiver” was left intact, as in example (comment out them, if they not needed)? What config you’re trying to run - with one “source node” only or with “source and support” nodes? In second case your config is incomplete - you need config and path to for support node.

At first I want at least to start one stream source. I fixed my config files.

{
    "engine_path": {
        "stable": "/opt/acestream-stable/start-engine"
    }
    ,"root": "/opt/app"
    ,"controller": {
        "source_node": "/opt/acestream-stable/config/source_node_config.json"
    }
    ,"dirs": {
        "public": "tmp/public",
        "private": "tmp/private",
        "metadata": "tmp/metadata",
        "log": "tmp/logs",
        "cache": "tmp/cache",
        "pid": "tmp/run",
        "state": "tmp/state"
    }
    ,"trackers": [
        "udp://9.rarbg.me:2710/announce"
    ]
}

[
    {
        "stream_uid": "2019-09-22_1",
        "port": 8640,
        "title": "2019-09-22_1",
        "url": "http://mysource.fake/master.m3u8",
        "bitrate": "400000",
        "categories": ["sport"],
        "quality": "HD",
        "type": "hls",
        "upload_to": ["127.0.0.1:8641"],
        "force_monotonic_sequence": 1,
        "extended_logging": 1,
        "engine_version": "stable"
    }
]

I was able to start something, but then I try to open .acelive from public folder nothing happens. I disabled the firewall, but when I still try to telnet if 8640 port is lisining I get nothing.

Did you carefully read wiki and “readme” at github - for what purpose you’re trying to specify “upload_to”, if you’re want to run source node only?

9

I think I read all and used find function, but I didn’t saw anything about upload-to so I thought that it has to be by default.

I removed it from config, but result is still the same.

Because I try to use m3u8 playlist I downgraded to 3.16 version because I found that in this forum that this is what I need to do.

I tried again and it didn’t work. Maybe my source is wrong? http://overtakefans.com/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen/test_full/master.m3u8

Refer to Example playlists for HTTP Live Streaming | Apple Developer Documentation as proper HLS playlist example.
In your playlist URL start from “m3u8/main-feed/OTT…”, without “http://domain.com” part. You should check playlist playability in the VLC at least.

Thanks for your patients. The second attempt http://overtakefans.com/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen/espn/master2.m3u8 I checked it in VLC it works fine, but still getting same message.

Check engine log-files at “tmp/logs” for any error messages.

Both times logs registered this

What version was used on latest attempts? You’ve wrote earlier

Because I try to use m3u8 playlist I downgraded to 3.16
- did you try with recent one? Do you have any other command-line options, except .conf file? On private node there no need to specify “public” dir.

I use 3.16

Yes I tryed with 3.149 and I get

On private node there no need to specify "public" dir.
I want it to be pubic but for now without support node.

python scripts is intended to be used with latest engine version.

it’s a bug in the 3.1.49 version. Quick fix - copy files from attached archive to the /lib/acestreamengine dir of AceStream engine (overtakefan, in your case i already did this).

“private-node=1” is hardcoded in the “start_streamers.py” file, so you must edit it and change this value to 0.
