Please give me/us a feedback when the internet-streaming works. Please also tell which encoder and which settings you are using...

Thanks!

I have just installed this plug-in but I can't get liveTV to work.

I can log in to the website and see the tv channels allright and when i click the play it starts a .bat file and open VLC player. VLC player then tries to play but nothing happens. After a little while VLC then stops.

Plz help

Edit: I'm using MP 1.1 beta

Edit 2: I can see in the TvServer Status link that the timeshift starts but still no picture in VLC

I'm confused, this is a plugin for TVServer but it actually contains many features that are only MP specific (Music, Pictures, Videos)?

What if I want to use this without a TVServer installed, it is not possible?

It needs TvServer because it's a plugin for TvServer but if you want to run it without TvServer you just have to host the htdocs folder contains as a webpage in your IIS that's all.
The web app will work but you can't obviously use the Tv,Radio,Recordings and schedules section.
The buttons such as MyVideos or MyPictures will work when you just have MP installed on the machine you host the web app from.

Also you have to configure it manually because the configuration is part of the TvServer plugin but that should'nt be a problem.
Just edit "config.xml"

I'm afraid this was over my head. I can't get it to work. It seems that in the command I need to put a destination, and if I put the same port that the Webserver uses, it can't connect, if I use a different one, the client can't connect cause it tries to use the stream-port set in the config. I've read something about named pipes, but I can't figure out what the command would be.
The deciding part of the command is: {access=http,mux=ts,dst=iport}
Maybe Gemx has some pointers?
This one works from a batch-file when a channel is tuned from tvserver manual tuning.
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv rtsp://server/stream2.0 --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=1}:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=ort}
And it is accessable from the internet and streams just fine.

According to this The VideoLAN Forums • View topic - VLC 1.01 and Windows named pipes output to named pipes seems to be broken in VLC > 0.98

Regardless of this the line should be

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv {0} --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=1}:std{access=file,mux=ts,dst={1}}

With output method set to "NamedPipe"

I just tried with VLC ver .97 and still can't get it to work
I can see in the TVServer Status that the timeshift starts but VLC cannot connect
The command i get from the bat file is: "c:\program files\Videolan\VLC\vlc.exe" "http://SERVERIP:8080/Streamer.aspx?idChannel=69&idProfile=0"

I don't use any transcoding for this test as i have +50mbit in upload from the tvserver and +100mbit in download where i am now so that shouldn't be a problem

EDIT: I just noticed that after I'v tried to connect with VLC the TvService stop responding and have to be restarted but it still don't solve the problem

Thanks Gemx, it works now.
Heres my line to make it work:
{0} --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=1,deinterlace,scale=0.50}:std{access=file,mux=ts,dst={1}}
Inputmethod: Filename
Outputmethod: NamedPipe
Version 1.03 didn't work(The latest) so I installed VLC 0.86i after reading that this would be the version that would work best. And indeed it did

 

[gemx]

That's great news
Will incorporate this profile in the next version

Tried with VLC ver. 0.86i but still nogo

VLC gives me this error: Unable to open 'http://SERVERIP:8080/Streamer.aspx?idChannel=69&idProfile=0'
