Looking for: streaming solution with MP (VOD) (2 Viewers)

[loadme]

hello everyone,

is there any plugin, providing a small webinterface for your video-collection
that allows you to stream the files through the internet on demand?

and if its not yet developed, is there any other solution so far?

i only found a way with VLC streaming.
but your webinterface only shows up playlists or filenames but no real video/audio informations (like metadata, id tags, covers and so on)


i would love to browse online through my media files and stream them on demand


regards,
loadme

i cant post in offtopic for some reason (i fit within the rules?) - looking for an alternative to media portal based streaming.
maybe i'm wrong here?

please let me know, where to look for something like this

i really would love to get this done


regards

I'd take a look at MPWebServices and iPimP. I think those either have it or are planing to have it.

thanks for the replay,

ipimp is an iphone webservice :/

mpwebservices is a plugin for TVServer, but since i dont use any tv card, i can't install it :[

Yes iPimP was originally meant for the Iphone, but you can access the WebUI in any browser, and if I'm not mistaken it now supports streaming to Google Chrome aswell. And are you sure that you can't install MPwebservices without a TVcard? You can't just install TV server and then install MPwebservices? I haven't tried it so I don't know but it sounds weird that you can't. I have only fooled around a little bit with iPimP so I'm not 100% certain but I do think it should cover your needs.

5.0.1 changelog states the following: Web - added Silverlight player for desktop browsers - Google Chrome is recommended
4.1.0 changelog states the following: MP client plugin - Added Moving Pictures support (needs Moving Pictures 1.0 Beta 1+)
And TV series is on the roadmap.

ChangeLog - ipimp - Project Hosting on Google Code

thank you again!

i will try ipimp asap.
silverlight should be no problem at any plattform

and MPWebservices:
i'm running MP 1.0.2, where tv server wasn't included
and since i'm really happy with the working MP, i'm a bit afraid in upgrading and maybe crashing every setting or database

that's why i actually didn't installed MP 1.1 with TVServer
and than - of course, you cant setup the plugin, since it uses the TV Server configUI.

any opinions on the risk of upgrading MP? is the upgrade plugin/skin independent or do i have to create some backups of my databases?


greets again

I don't really know

Personally I'm going with a fresh start once 1.1.0 is released only thing I'll do is to export my watched taggs from MPTVseries, anything else will be wiped and rebuilt.

hehe - if you already imported a couple of movies to MovingPicutes, reimport could take a LOT of time.
i already used the cover/information copier tool, that copys background, cover to the folder and creates an nfo file
but again - i'm very afraid of what actually will happen, if i go for a reimport

its a thing to think about, if i have some more time.
updating to 1.1 or maybe 1.2 somewhere in near future should provide a good boost of features

 

[zicoz]

Hmm what tool is that? I would really love the nfo creating part of it.
