My small contribution I call - StreamTV (7 Viewers)

You can run two hosting apps on the same port with this plugin. The prefix is setup so any requests that have /TvServer/ will go to my plugin, anything else is ignored and left for other programs to capture. So if IIS was to run on port 80 with a prefix of http://*:80/ and my server was running on port 80 using the prefix http://*:80/TvServer/ all the remaining requests that don't match /TvServer/ would go to IIS since it doesn't match the /TvServer/ condition.

Further reading since my explanation sucks:
HttpListener Class (System.Net)

I have to do some changes to the http side so I can run html based channel lists so when I do that I might make it so you can make it default to the channel list if you want.

I'm not sure why you need to modify the URL's, even with %3F if you send the request to the plugin it converts it back to a ? mark before it processes the request.

If I use ChannelList.rss in the podcast section of VLC or copy / paste a link from the ChannelList.rss it works fine e.g. http://127.0.0.1:9000/TvServer/TimeShift.ts?ChannelId=57

Ahh... OK!

Well 1.0.2.0 final is out now on google code and if you have the earlier release I suggest updating to this one anyway since a real minor (but important) change was made.

With this I'm finally able to get PS3MediaServer to stream liveTv to my PS3 (sadly its transcoded to a low bitrate but at least it plays).

If you want to use PS3MediaServer to stream live TV use mencoder and give it time, sadly it needs to timeout and try a second time to connect before it will work.

I've managed to watch a stream for 4 hours so far on my PS3 (HD channel) without any issues.

As always interested in feedback and happy to help if your having issues (not that there is much to configure).

hey Valk... great work on the ps3mediaserver... any luck getting this working with TVersity at all?

I've kinda given up on tversity for now; the need to scan all the channels at the same time causes all sorts of problems. Even when I did have tversity running I could only get it to stream for 18 minutes then it would just cut the stream.

The only reason I can see to use tversity these days is for online content (though that is possible through ps3mediaserver).

If I get time I might try and rig up RTSP so it can handle channel zapping, with that you might be able to get Tversity going but don't hold your breath.

RTSP isn't supported for a few reasons, just there as an extra option which didn't take much to implement.

 

[nucks4cup]

can you use ps3mediaserver over the net effectively though, or just over LAN? that was my plan to have tversity transcode it to a more acceptable bitrate for watching tv over the net, plus i use that for all of my other media so it's nice to have it in one place. you mentioned you did get it working for 18 mins.. my issue seems to be in finding the correct directshow filter to play the files. Any advice there?
thanks

That was a long time ago and I was using RTSP.

Well online streaming, I didn't expect that. I have plans to add transcoding support directly into StreamTv which would then give you a viable alternative to Tversity but i'm a while off implementing it.

Really nice plugin that has serious pontential (for watching TV at work ) but i have a small problem.
When ever i access the RSS stream the TVServer service stops. I happens no matter if i access it from the local machine where MP is installed or from another or if i try open the RSS from a browser or VLC as a podcast playlist.
I have a TechnoTrend TT-1501 budget DVB-c tvcard and MP ver 1.0.2 freshly installed

I hope you can figure out what happens as I have been missing a plugin llike this since i moved from MS mediacenter with webguide to MP.

Interesting.

Well stop the tvserver, delete your error.log file, start the server up again and just goto the RSS feed then put the error.log file up on the forums and I'll take a look.

 

[BeLLe]

Will do but where do I find the error.log?

Edit:
Ok I found the error.log but the one that was in the folder didn't show anything.
I stopped the TVServer service, deleted the log restarted the tvservice and now i try to go to the link:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/tvserver/channellist.rss and i get a 404 webpage cannot be found

the tvservice didn't stop this time and there was not createed a new error.log

Edit2:
tried again with a copy/paste of the link from the first post and now it works from the local machine
http://127.0.0.1:8080/TvServer/ChannelList.rss

aprrently theres a difference in upper and lowrcase letters
