could you explain us the format of the variable {0} and {1} so i can do a little more tests? thanks!- Thread starter

{0} and {1} are the input and output file locations used by the encoder so I can pass the active media stream to the encoder and pull the transcoded output back into StreamTv to send to the client.
Currently only named pipes are implemented as an input / output method (though I do plan to do a few others).
{0} is the input for the encoder (data been passed to the encoder).
{1} is the output of the encoder (data been passed back to streamTv)
named pipes are formatted something like: \\.\pipe\pipename
The pipename part is generated at runtime so that it will never overlap with another active pipe.
If it works with ffmpeg all you should need to know is that for the input file you use {0} and the output file you use {1}.
If it doesn't work you will have to wait until I do another input method like UDP or something else.
Hope that clears it up.

Hi,
What can be the easiest method to watch those streams from another computer? Without any link copy and paste?
Within VLC is ok, with its podcast feature, but even there, you have to enable podcast every time in menu.
What I need is a list of channels, came up by starting a software (or web page) and one click on the channel link, to start playing.

Benoe,
I have setup on my xbox links for each channel. I have one file per station in a folder and each file consists of the following
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:- 1,http://YOUR_COMPUTER_IP:8900/tv.asf
http://192.168.1.10:8080/TvServer/TimeShift.mpeg?ChannelId=1
the file name must be ****.m3u
then I just 'play' the file like any other video

You should be able to make VLC always show the TvServer channels in the Podcast list on the playlist. Thats what I was doing for testing and it would of driven me nuts if I had to do it everytime.
If anyone wants a webpage to watch liveTv from and knows of a open source media player (flash/silverlight component) a webpage could probably be added to the StreamTv HTTP server easy enough.
Though StreamTv is a lot more stable then when I first released it there are still a few more things i'd like to iron out before I focus on those areas. That said most of the tools needed are there, just need someone to make a webpage for the channel listing for html output (I'll convert it to xslt if needed) and a web player where I can pass a variable to the liveTv stream.
Also andri did you get it working on an xbox? I don't have one to test but it would be good if a guide for setting up StreamTv for other clients could be compiled. If I could get a template of the expected output (an attached example would be good) I could generate the m3u file for you and add it to the next build.

It's not quite automatic to add it to xbmc.
this is the file structure I made under F:/Video in the xbox
/TV/
/TV/SkySports.m3u
/TV/SkyOne.m3u
/TV/BBC.m3u
and each m3u file is as such:
--- start of file ---
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:- 1,http://YOUR_COMPUTER_IP:8900/tv.asf
http://192.168.1.10:8080/TvServer/TimeShift.m2ts?ChannelId=1
--- end of file ---

Just tried this myself and also am getting a blank page in FF and 404 in IE as reported by others.
I saw posts that using this sorta url would cut it nut it's still blank for me
http://localhost:8080/TvServer/Chann....rss?RTSP=True
Not sure what's up. I run this plugin on a different port if that matters, no other programs are listening on that port.
I'm on XP SP3 (dutch), MP 1.1 beta1, running ForTheRecord (if that matters at all).
Also I think something went wrong during install (although it did not give any errors).
The directory structure I use is non MP standard;
MP is located in C:\Program Files\MediaPortal
and TV Server us located in C:\Program Files\MediaPortal\TV Server
I used that last one as the installation directory but then it got installed inC:\Program Files\MediaPortal\TV Server\MediaPortal TV Server which is obviously incorrect.
It installed a total of 2 files (as far as I can see that is);
/plugins/StreamTv2.Plugin.dll and
/StreamTv2.dll
So I moved those files to the correct location. Then I was able to enable the plugin in tv config but after all that it gives me a blank page/404

You are updating the link when you try the channel list since you changed the port?
If you look at the link you will see http://localhost:8080/ <etc.>
The 8080 is the port. If you use port 80 you don't need the port so http://localhost/TvServer/ <etc>
If you use another port you have to replace the 8080 with that port.
e.g. http://localhost:9000/TvServer/ChannelList.rss
Most the reasons (if not all) why people were reporting problems have been fixed and were due to file encoding issues.
Those RTSP still works with the channel list I haven't re-implemented it in the webserver so those links shouldn't work anymore and really are no longer needed.
The installer should of prompted you for a location to MediaPortals TvServer (though offering a default of e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\) which you could of changed to your actual location.
Other files are installed are installed in the mediaportal folder along with the logs and timeshifting files. Start the TvServer Configuration Tool, click Open Log Directory and go up one folder, you should see a folder called StreamTv in there. All the files in that StreamTv folder are also installed.
You shouldn't have any issues if you do a fresh install with the mediaportal tvserver path correct and turning the plugin on. That said as you have it now should work also (just update the link for the port).
If you changed the port because of 4TheRecord I believe they implement there HTTP interface much like I do and it shouldn't matter if they both use the same port (I haven't tested this).
Anyway hope that helps.
