[New Plugin] WebServices + Transcoded streaming + Web Interface for TvServer and MP (15 Viewers)

[gemx]

Have you configured the plugin to use the other db paths or did you use the default locations?

How would MP find the dbs if they are not in their default locations.

AFAIK you can configure the db in the MyTvSeries plugin but not in the picture plugin.

How does the picture find the db if it's not in the default location?

... it's configured in the "MediaPortalDirs.xml":

</Dir>
<!-- The Path for the databases -->
<Dir id = "Database">
<Path>%ProgramData%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Database\</Path>

You can change it to UNC-Path (networklocation).

Great plugin, thanks!

I'm using it on a linux client with great succes, when I set up VLC browser plugin. But with this method there is no vlc controls in the embedded video, cannot change for example the audio stream (with direct streaming profile)

The .bat file is not working, when I change to "player installed on client", but I guess playlist file, like m3u would.
Could you pls make a test version with this option for linux clients?

Gemx,

Thanks for a great plugin! I am really impressed.

I have been using Valks Streamtv-plugin a lot, to be able to watch live-tv from the TV-server on my NMT. To do this I need a normal href to start streaming but with a vod-tag inside the <a></a>, apparently NMT has some special tags, here's some documentation. So some examples:

Valks Streamtv, example:
<a href="http://192.168.0.7:8080/TvServer/TimeShift.ts?ChannelId=427;" vod>SVT1</a></td>
this works perfect.

MPWebservices, example
<a href="http://192.168.0.7:81/Streamer.aspx?idChannel=427&amp;idProfile=0" vod>SVT1</a>
When clicking this on my NMT I get a response from Streamer.aspx that vod is not a known argument. The result is that no streaming starts

Since I am a complete looser on changing this type of code, is it possible to implement this as a "Player type" in your plugin? Or maybe you can direct me on where to start looking?

Hi again!

This version (3) seems to work nicely! However, I can't make VLC work with this rss feed. I know that I need to use the Podcast feature but it just gives an error In the browser the rss works.
- TvSeries works
- Moving Pictures works
- Recordings works
- Schedules works
- Music still doesn't show everything
- Pictures has the same problem
- TV works
- Pressing the record button in the epg doesn't schedule the program, it just takes to Add Schedule page.

Hope this helps!

Hi gemx,

could you maybe add the buttons for start/stop server again?

thx

Hi. I got it working now, streaming seems fine over internet. Although the mencoder times out on the first try and connects on the second try. This makes it take a long time to start the stream which isnt optimal. Any ideas why it does that?

I put the exact same URL in on a new page and tried to click.
The result is - it's working though for me

The only thing i can think of this "&amp;" after idChannel=427
That should be an "&".
Besides that there is nothing inside Streamer.aspx which should prevent it from streaming when additional parameters are added

Thanks for the extensive reports. That's always nice

Regarding VLC: I haven't tried it with VLC but tested the RSS feed with some online validation tool and this tool reported "100% valid RSS 2.0 feed".

Music and Pictures shows "only" entries from the database.
So if you haven't browsed to a picture folder with MP there is no entry in the db and therefore the pics don't show in MPWebServices.
To be sure that the folder should appear in MPWebServices browse to a pic folder in MP - if you see the thumbnails for all pictures in the folder - you should see it also in MPWebServices.
It also uses the thumbnails from MP - otherwise bandwith usage would be very high.
