[New Plugin] WebServices + Transcoded streaming + Web Interface for TvServer and MP (2 Viewers)

[King-S]

But another problem. In the LAN the streaming works like a charm. But over the internet (via VPN and without vpn), the streaming is very slow and stutters.

All tries of screwing down the bitrates and scals ended up with errors.

Hey... can somebody help me? The problem isn't solved yet...

Thanks..!

Not sure you can expect to stream TV/video reliably over an internet connection, can you?

Hm... with a very low quality I think I can. With ClipInc I'm recording three radio stations with 128kb/s each. So when I stop ClipInc I could have the chance to stream tv with 96kb/s (audio-bitrate) and low video bitrate....

That's what I thougt about the TV streaming... And I hope it will work like I described above..

The problem is that when YOUR server/pc streams something so that it is accessable from the internet, you probably won't have enough bandwith to stream video files.

A typical ADSL line of 6 MBits has:

~ 6 MBits downstream
~ 512 kb updstream

When you watch a movie from the internet your downstream rate is used when you yourself stream something TO the internet, your UPSTREAM bandwidth is used.
So that would about 64 KBytes/s max. Subtract at least 10 kb for protocol overhead and the like and you end up with a bandwidth of ~ 50 KBytes/s MAX. I guess a video that is compressed like that won't be watchable.

BTW: That's the difference between S(ynchronous)-DSL and A(synchronous)-DSL

In SDSL both Upstream and downstream have the same bandwidth and in ADSL they have different bandwidth

Thanks... But I want to watch movies/tv over the internet....

Thath's a pity... really...

But thanks anyway...

I think this is because the profiles for DivX won't work correctly. The mpeg2-profile works in the LAN - but each change in resolution or audio-quality causes a failure... The DivX won't work at all. The "direct" also works correctly, but can't be used for internet streaming of course...

So what about the profiles? Divx with 160x128px and 96kb/s should work over the internet. But at least it has to work on the LAN.

So can somebody please create this profile? As I said before, each change in res. or sound-quality causes an error....

Thanks in advance..!

I'm still wondering why support for vlc-streaming is not available. Streaming via the old MPTVCLient works as a charm over internet.

Well, it is availabe.

You just have to create a new streaming profile with the path to VLC as application and the specific arguments.

You don't have to use mencoder. Just use any encoder that supports the available input/output methods.

Ok, thx. Been playin' around with it now for a while with the settings I have in mptvclient but no luck so far.
