Re: AW: iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - 4.1.0

hi cheezy,

kommst du bezüglich iPhone LiveTV Streaming voran? Hat der Segmenter vom DVBViewer weitergeholfen?

Gruss,
nicx...

Hi nicx - I don't speak German - but here's the google translation...

you come streaming LiveTV on iPhone progressing? If the Segmenter weitergeholfen by DVBViewer?

So the answers I think are:

The segmenter built for DVBViewer didn't go anywhere - the developer didn't get back to me and the plugin wasn't much use either.

HOWEVER - A forum member contacted me in the last few days and supplied an open source segmenter compiled for windows - he has managed to use this manually to get a live TV stream on his iPhone. I am now in the process of testing this and seeing how best to integrate it into iPiMP. It is a big step forward in getting live TV and I'm very excited about it.

I have been making a number of changes recently to incorporate Handbrake into iPiMP which is nearly complete, so I'll probably release a version with these changes in and then work on getting the live TV streams into the next version. Hopefully this aspiration will not jinx the work (like it did last time).

Hi cheezey,

Handbrake integration will be a big plus because at the moment I can only play the reencoded video once they are completely downloaded to my phone. (I don't think there is an option in ffmpeg to reorganise the mp4 files to permit to play the movie while downloading (progressive download). This option is available in handbrake and works well (I tried this afternoon).

I'm also looking forward transcoding for live tv access What's your approach for that ? VLC ? Live555 ?

Thanks !

Hi cheezey,

I recently updated my MP Clients to RC 1.1 and also the moving pictures plugin to the latest version. tv and stuff works fine. but when I want select a filter in moving pictures like "Recently Added". I get en error on my iphone and the log of the clients says:

CHli - I can view my transcoded recordings without having to wait for the whole file to download. Have you changed any of the default transcode parameters? Or do you have a Safari download plugin loaded on your iPhone?

Live TV - look here.

Basically another forum member has compiled a working version of the segmenter.

Who said I'm using an iPhone ?

As mentionned in my previous post I'm using iPiMP on a Nexus One.

Doh! - sorry.

I think I need to get my hands on an Android phone - or do you know of a good emulator?

Re: iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - 4.1.0

Sure : Android Emulator | Android Developers

Edit :

Using mp4box.exe -hint MOVIE.mp4 after the ffmpeg compression let me stream the recorded tv to my phone.

Re: iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - 4.1.0

Is it possible to change to iPiMP port after installation, I set it as 80 (default) when I was installing and I forgot to change it to match the port forwarding rules I have on my router

Yes - Edit your C:\Program Files\iPiMP\Apache\conf\iPiMP.conf

Line 2 - change Listen 80 then restart the iPiMPweb service.
