[Announce] MPTvClient V1.2.5 (20.12.2007) II

[gemx]

Planned to put some work into the MpTvClient tomorrow.
It would be nice if someone could sum up all bugs/features in one post, so i don't have to fight my way through the whole thread

Just uploaded V1.2
See the first post for a list of changes and the download

Many thanks, gemx!

Could someone please give me a hint how to achieve what I want to do... It seems somehow hidden in the parameters for the client.

I want to start streaming on the TV Server, start VLC on the server to transcode (or at least tell an already running instance of vlc on the server to start transcoding the newly startet stream from the TV Server) and then let the "client vlc" connect to the "server vlc" instead of to the TV server directly. And all this without vnc, just by double clicking the channel in MPTvClient.

Is this somehow possible with parameters for the client?

Any help appreciated and once more thanks for your great work, gemx!

OOps, just found another bug.
I forgot to remove the debug display of the command line args for vlc which caused the timeshifting to stop before the player was started.
Please the new download in post one "MPTvClient V1.2 (updated).rar"

Hi Gemx,


first of all, thank you for a very usefull programm, ik watch MP on my laptop with your client, vlc and tvserver all the time.

I use
VLC
MPTvClient 1.2 with upgrade dd 20-12 17:47
TvServer tvengine3-11-25-2007--01-37h--Rev16563

I have one minor error though, when I stop VLC and want to continue watching the same channel I get the error "Could not start timeshifting error Reason: UnknownError"

When I close MPTvClient and start it again I can select the channel again, also switching to another channel and then back to the one I was watching functions good.


I hope I explained the error well enough for you and that you are able to reproduce it or tell me what I do wrong :-))

You're the man gemx! Thanx so far, I'm getting closer...

Just a thought if someone should start coding this tiny little TVServer plugin... :}
It would be great if this plugin would only start a vlc server, when the streaming was startet from MPTvClient. Otherwise a local user (or even more users) would start a vlc server also when they start watching TV with the TV Plugin of MP.

Hi,
attached you find a sample TvServer plugin.
You only have to fill out the "void VLCTranscoder_OnTvServerEvent(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)" function and add a config form.
That's it.
Just don't get me wrong. The attached project doesn't do anything when compiled but it already intercepts the "Start timeshifting" and "Stop timeshifting" messages.
So just fill it with life

[strawberry]

perfectly now!!!
Thnx Gemx

ok, let me guess, you're working as personal trainer / motivator?

I didn't start a compiler for over 4 years now, but you got me... Can't keep my fingers off anymore. Will download and try Visual C# over the holidays!

Thanks again, gemx!
