[solved] MPTvScheduler - Android client for MediaPortal and TvServer (2 Viewers)

I don't have any TV stream with subtitle. Can you upload to a file share (Google Drive, OneDrive or similar) a short file for me?

Hi reg,

I'm currently uploading a file to dropbox and will send you the download link via PM. I did a lot of testing with different transcoding profiles in the last days and I think that it is not dependent on MPExtended or your app if the subtitles are shown or not. It seems to be related to the transcoding process. I did not find a pattern but maybe if transcoded with VLC the subtitles are shown, if the profile uses ffmpeg the subtitles are suppressed. Or so ...

1.5.1 beta is available for testers.

• Fixed dvb subtitle always visible in vlc based profiles.
• Fixed some app crashes.
• Added ability to pause/resume songs with headset button. (Needs testing with wired and with BT headset)
  
• Added ability to shuffle songs for premium users.

This is my first time testing or posting to this Forum (I think), so bear with me...
I updated the app and the MPExtended Service 0.6.0 Beta6 (recommended) but now I can't seem to play live TV or recorded TV.
I've tried LG G5's internal player, MX, and vlc with no luck. I can see the guide fine but not sure if it's something I've done. Honestly, I thought it was working fine before the update of the app and from beta5. But full disclosure I did change my wifi router sometime this week and with it the local IP address changed. I think I have port forwarding and all that worked out correctly.
I was hoping to get the new features to send my HTPC to sleep remotely through the app, but that doesn't seem to be an option either.
Time-Lapse: Switching back to MPExtended Service 0.6.0 Beta5 seemed to make matters worse and the guide didn't even work

Try to remove c:\ProgramData\MPExtended\StreamingProfiles.xml and restart MPExtended.

Open TV Server status and select menu.

Thank you regeszter for your quick reply. Removing the file as you said worked!
I see the options now in TV server status. I'm really happy with the new features.

By the way... any plans to make the able to cast to a Chromecast or Roku? I just found out that a Roku can take casts too (Supports DIAL), and then when I travel I can use my Roku stick and watch on an HDMI TV at like a hotel or something.

Thanks again for the help and the app!

You can use the app on any device which runs Android or Android TV.

Hi,
short question:
Do you have plans to support the playback of the TV rtp stream without transcoding?
In aMPDroid this was possible when using the MX player.
This could lead to a better picture quality espacially when using Android TV or Amazon Fire.

Thx in advance

It is supported with MX Player using direct transcoder profile.

Edit your c:\ProgramData\MPExtended\StreamingProfiles.xml and change the target of the direct profile from pc-vlc-video to android.

<TranscoderProfile>
<Name>Direct</Name>
<Description>Direct streaming profile (no transcoding)</Description>
<HasVideoStream>true</HasVideoStream>
<MIME>video/x-unknown</MIME>
<MaxOutputWidth>1280</MaxOutputWidth>
<MaxOutputHeight>720</MaxOutputHeight>
<Targets>
<Target>android</Target>
</Targets>
<Bandwidth>10000</Bandwidth>
<Transport>http</Transport>
<Transcoder>MPExtended.Services.StreamingService.Transcoders.Direct</Transcoder>
<TranscoderParameters />
</TranscoderProfile>
