ARD Mediathek Livestreams
Hi,
Has a solution been found in the meantime? I have the same issue over a year later with my new Roku Express 4K. Now I’m seriously considering returning the product.
Forum Discussion
I have the same problem: None of the livestream from the ARD-Mediathek channel works. All other streams are ok. I got the errorcode: T1_4_0 after a few seconds.
Streamingbox: 3940EU Roku Express 4k
OS-Version: 12.0.0 Build 4184-CR (latest)
App-Version ARD-Mediathek: 1.0 Build 24 (latest)
I hope you can offer a quick solution.
I Hope you can find a quick solution.
kparadies I‘m also hoping for a quick solution. My specs are exactly the same as yours. But as the problem has been known since early last year, I‘m afraid it‘s not looking too good…
Best,
Wima
I thought I replied here yesterday, but I can't find the reply:
After I unlocked the developer interface on the box, I installed a sample app. In the Config.brs I then changed the URL for some livestreams. And voila, I can enjoy the livestreams of the ARD-Mediathek.
Activating developer mode is descriped here: https://developer.roku.com/de-de/docs/developer-program/getting-started/developer-setup.md (in geman).
I found the URL for the ARD-Channel and others here: here: https://gist.github.com/Axel-Erfurt/b40584d152e1c2f13259590a135e05f4
The sample app is here: https://github.com/rokudev/multi-live-channel
Important: The streams must have "hls" as streamFormat!
Anyway, it worked for me. All tips without guarantee and use at your own risk. Have fun!

- Thanks a lot for this. Works great. Can you give another tip how to make it not start rewinding?
Hello axel99092,
Thank you for your inquiry.
I may have the solution to the problem.
I have made the following changes:
Replace curPos with "-1". Stream then starts about 30 seconds before the current time.source/main.brs
...
if playContent then
m.video.visible = true
'stop
==> 'm.video.content.PlayStart = curPos
==> m.video.content.PlayStart = -1
m.video.control = "play"
m.global.AdTracker = 1
m.AdTimer.control = "start
end if
...And to suppress the ad timer (comment out both lines):
components/HomeScene.brs
...
==> 'm.AdTimer.control = "start"' ==> 'm.AdTimer.observeField("fire")
==> 'm.AdTimer.observeField("fire", "change")
...That should help for now. To make it clear again: This is just a workaround until Roku finally updates the ARD-Mediathek app.
Many greetings
Klaus
