PiipTV: LiveTV & remote PVR for Nokia Video Center (1 Viewer)

[optx]

Hi Manniainen

THX for help. Think that i did not recognize that the "GET" button is getting a "SET" button.
Now it is running as good as before.
Had a hard time to get it running. Only thing is the EGP where i have my problems with. But i will find that out to sooner or later ^^

again

One last Question : Is there a way to 'sort' the channels how i want them ? Can i make this with the PiipTv.xml ? I opend this one and could see channels, Names,.. . Dont kow because this is a temp folder and always gone after stopping TV-Server....

OPTX,
I you are using phone video center application, there you can change channel order. Select PiipTv Live from video center -> Settings -> manage channels -> options -> move

But in PC server side, i think you don't have option to change channel ordering. Channels names can be changed, but not order.

Wow, it sounds like an excellent way to use my N95. I stumbled upon it by chance, had no idea you could do it. Thanks for thinking it up, implementing it and supporting it so actively.

I am using RC3 but I cant seem to get PiipTv to stream live tv on my N95. I used the provision file by opening the web page in through Web'nWalk, but I dont get any icon in Video Center for PiipTv (I do get 2 icons in Video Center -> Internet Videos: one for PiipTv Download, another for PiipTv Stream). The provision file has 3 sections and 1 section is for what seems like livetv. But I dont get it to show on my N95. I dont know what I am missing here

Khurram,

You should see piipTV live in videocenter main caroucel. Those other two are in internet videos "folder"...

What happens if you save provisioning file to PC and send from PC -> phone it over bluetooth and then from inbox try to install service to phone?

or move it from PC to phone via USB cable and from phone file manager click the file?

Thats just it, I dont see that icon in VideoCenter main screen.

Nothing happens when I do this except a flash on the screen.

or move it from PC to phone via USB cable and from phone file manager click the file?

I transferred the file to root of E drive but it is not visible in N95's File Manager.

 

[Khurram]

I updated the firmware and now the file was visible in the file manager. I opened it and it prompted 3 times for installing PiipTv... and now I get the icon in Video Center for live tv

Is there a way to view the tv in landscape mode (like when you rotate the screen in web 'n walk)?

 

[manniainen]

Khurram,
you are having N95? slide phone to landscape so that multimedia keys, like play, pause, stop can be seen, then picture is in landscape?

or tools-settings-personalisation-display-rotate screen -> automatic, then accelometer is used to change screen mode

 

[Khurram]

Yes I have an N95 but there is no option for rotating the screen in the menus. I havent updated the firmware for a long time so I will give it a go and see if has this option.

 

[Khurram]

Success at last. I updated to the latest firmware 30.x and now I have the rotate options. I must say this plugin is very slick.

I little (hopefully) request. Is it possible to stream thru 2 profile simultaneously and let the user select which streaming profile to use? This way I can use the WLAN profile for my N95 and the PC profile for my laptop.

Khurram,

Technically dublicating streams is not a big deal to do, but what is more problematic is that this dublicating (streaming with different parameters) will eat huge amounth or resources (RAM & CPU) from server. If you monitor now your CPU usage from task manager and then start to think how much you still have CPU left for dublicating...

This is reason why i have not (atleast yet) done dublicating...
