Finally working IP-TV solution for TV Server! (2 Viewers)

[mikeyko]

I'm having a problem with this plugin for 1.0.2 - whenever I start up MediaPortal, the splash screen stalls at "Waiting for startup of TV Service" for 2-3 minutes, I can't really figure out what's wrong, I've attached the logs from MP and the tv server, hoping for someone can help me out..
This hasn't happened before, 1.0.1 worked fine..

Oh, and as soon as MediaPortal HAS actually started, everything works great, although there's a small delay when opening my TV which As far as I remember, wasn't present in 1.0.1...

Any help is appreciated...

Hi it's me again

Real life in the way of my MP dream byt yesteday I had a few hours
to myself so i did a fresh install of XP (ghost) and Mp 1.0.2 + iptv_102

Same resoult some channels work some don't and they are reported at as scrambled
THEY ARE NOT but I have multiple video/audio tracks in ts stream and audio for
other countries are scrambled........so until i can pick the video/audio/subs PID
in the ts stream I cant use MP

Thanks for update. Although I'm not using this yet, I believe this "plugin"will be of major importance in the future.

Any news regarding a free UDP filter?

ill second that



Smolder still hoping

Source filter change will not help you for sure, TSWriter filter is the key

So who do i talk to ? im shure im not the only one that wants to be able to pick the PID's from the ts stream that i want to use.


On a side note mikeyko

Ther is a pice of software out ther that can encode the EPG into the media stream that MP receives by selecting an XML file with all the channel guide info in it....

OK guys, here it is: MediaPortal IPTV Source Filter, currently supporting UDP unicast/multicast transport. RTP is currently not supported

URL format:

udp://[interface_ip]@stream_iport

Register filter:
regsvr32 mpiptvsource.ax

Unregister filter:
regsvr32 /u mpiptvsource.ax

Under Vista, registration must be performed under administrator privileges

After registration, restart TVServer, modify .m3u files to new URL format and rescan channels

Please, test this filter on test machines to avoid breaking something on your production setups

You can download it from first post (iptv_filter.zip)

Very, very nice plugin I must say! Im actually leaning towards switching from Windows Media Center because of this (and the separation of client and server in MP)

Just to clarify - is the source filter meant to replace the elecard decoder?

Thanks again!

yes, unregister Elecard and register this filter, currently only for raw UDP

This is a huge step forwards.

How about web-streams support? *hides*

One more question... Is recording supposed to be working with the new filter? For me, it is not... Timeshifting and watching does, however. Unfortunately I just installed MediaPortal, so I dont really know if recording works with a normal broadcast. If it works for everyone else I suppose I have other problems (such as using Windows 7...)

Any thoughts?

Windows7 is NOT supported in MediaPortal 1.0.2.
