[New Plugin] WebServices + Transcoded streaming + Web Interface for TvServer and MP (1 Viewer)

[nicx]

this new version is great

with this parameters for mencoder the transcoding of livetv is working fine for me: {0} -quiet -cache 8192 -vf scale=240:160 -oac lavc -of lavf -lavfopts format=dvd -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=512:threads=2:acodec=ac3:abitrate=128 -ofps 24000/1001 -o {1}

Do the params work for you for movies and recorded tv?

 

[nicx]

no only livetv is working. recorded tv is not starting, and as i sad befor i cannot test movies because i have no mp client installed

hm too early to be happy... after a few minutes the transcoding is crashing too. i can see some errors in the popup cmd window on the server before its closing... gemx could you pipe this output into a logfile? so i can check the reason of the crash.

nicx...

edit:
i found out the problem why livetv is transcoding and recorded tv not, there is a difference between "{0}" and {0} in the parameters. with this parameters recordings AND livetv is transcoding:

"{0}" -quiet -cache 8192 -vf scale=240:160 -oac lavc -of lavf -lavfopts format=dvd -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=512:threads=2:acodec=ac 3:abitrate=128 -ofps 24000/1001 -o {1}

but transcoding is still crashing after a minute.

In your old app MPTVClient the streaming of livetv with vlc over internet works perfect. Why can't you integrate that code?

The MPTvClient just fetches the rtsp URL and starts VLC with that.
So it's streaming without transcoding which also works with MPWebServices using the "direct" profile.
What not works is transcoded live-tv.

Beta 1 released

- Support for MovingPictures and TvSeries
- live-tv with transcoding now works
- added a login page, so if you expose these websites to the internet not everyone can use them

As this should now be mostly feature complete besides the design being quite ugly (design help greatly appreciated) i will wait some days and if this is stable enough i will finish the TvServer Plugin wrapper, so it runs automatically

- Support for MovingPictures working, TvSeries not working
- live-tv with transcoding not working with neither profile. Mencoder starts, tries to connect to server and... that's it.
- login page working

I can stream from movingpictures with both profiles. Thanks.

What's wrong with TvSeries?
- Is the button not shown?
- Is the list empty?

For live-tv you could try to change the inputmethod for both profiles to "NamedPipe" instead of "Filename".
What tv-card do you use. Analog, DVB-S....?

The button shows but gives this error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


I have two DVB-C cards installed. The inputmethod change helped there, thanks
Should one of these profiles kept with the "filename" and the other "namedpipe"
filename for movies, maybe?

You can just play around a bit with the inputmethod file is best for movies but with live-tv it loads the rtsp stream from the tvserver which seems to not work sometimes so for live-tv "NamedPipe" seems the better choice and for any other not-live content use "Filename"

Could you please try TvSeries in the browser on your server because there it shows the exact exception stacktrace.
Without that it's a bit like searching in the dark

or

edit web.config in htdocs folder:

Line44: <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">

Change to: <customErrors mode="Off" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">
