Finally working IP-TV solution for TV Server! (1 Viewer)

[mikeyko]

Hi all,

iptv patch for TVServer RC4 is available for download from first post

 

[lisnam]

HI Mikeyko!
Thanks for the TVServer RC4 patch, but I still have a problem.
IPTV works well, but the video freeze or collapses
VLC, WMP and PROGDVB shows video perfectly.
The first question Is it possible to change UDP or RTP buffer in msec for NW source plus?
Also I tried to play the buffer live1-0.ts.tsbuffer1.ts, it also freeze. It is mean that the problem is in a server. What solution can be?
Sorry for my English

Hi, it should not be a problem in TVServer but rather in MP player. Try to change video/audio filters for TV. I have best experience with Microsoft video/audio filters. Try to make simple test: start SetupTV, click TV channels and select one. Click preview. If you will see picture, problem is not in tv server. Or, try to record some channel and play it back in MP and other software. If this recorded TS is playable, your TVServer is working fine

When I Click preview in SetupTV, I can see picture and it also freeze, same as I see in MP. I already changed all codacs, but the same result.
I also recorded video and it freeze every 5-10 seconds.

You can download my timeshift buffer
Here (wait for 10 seconds) or here RapidShare: Easy Filehosting

It is not a Codec problem. When I playing this graph video is perfect.

And here my graph for MP

Am I the only one who are having problems with getting tv to work on clients? All works perfect on the server...


SORRY. Stupid me! forgot to copy TvBusinessLayer.dll and TvLibrary.Interfaces.dll to main MediaPortal directory on the client...


Now everything works

Still can't get it to tune my channel. WHen it tries to tune, I see IP activity which denotes the stream is started.

Is there any way to manually enter the channel into the TVServer Database. Tried through the GUI but next time I open it, says no card assigned and have to delete it.

Just want to see if tuning is the only problem here or if viewing will also fail.

Graphedit have to run to see channels

I'm having a problem where timshifting fails on remote client. After removing firewalls and every thinkable solution i found out that graphedit has to run on the tv-server computer for it to be able to show on remote client.
In tv-server configuration i can preview channels without graphedit running.

tv.log without graphedit running:

zeddicius - this is very strange But good find

yes, it is possible to manually add channel to database, but you need to know all TS pids that scanner should detect. Try ProgDVB software, as I remember it is working similarly so you can get the pids you need

Hi Mikeyko
I am still waiting for your help. My post is here
First post is here
