[manniainen]

thanks cubii!!
I will add soon some details to japo site also and i will replicate sis packet also there! thanks fellows!



Gohan, if you are using plugin first time and you have lot of recodings in PC it will convert all those files to mpeg4 so that those can be viewed also with phone. You can disable this option from advanced settings if you don't want to convert be done.

no recording so far, as I am still playing around media portal and I am not using it very much as I am learning it while I decide to buy a 42" full HD LCD TV
The CPU usage is roughly around 30% (on a P4 3.0) with all default settings while it is streaming to the phone with WLAN profile.
Btw, I wrote to nokia care email and I got response that video center is only available on certain phone model and they do not if the E51 will be added or not: thanks Nokia for replying the obvious

PS is there any app client compatible with PIIPTV for PPC?

Hi! I like the potential of the plugin and would like to start using it very much. However so far my experience was not stellar ) Here's my first problem - my recorded clips contain Cyrillic characters (I recorded from channels in Russian with EPG in Russian). The clips were converted but when I start streaming or downloading them to N95 8Gb from the server I get timeout error. The log says the following. Please help!

2009-01-30 23:34:47.828125 [13]: HttpClient:Close(), aId: 2

Excellent plugin, very impressive. Using with Rogers in Canada works OK, just spitting out a folder full of avi's for now. I think port 5050 was blocked somehow, changed to 80 and left RTSP the same, works fine. Only hickup was moving to "live" machineon Vista. Things get tripped up trying to use mp4 profile, so I am forced to use AVC. 1) AVC profile doesn't preserve correct aspect ratio for 16:9- squeezes it into my e71 4:3. On XP VLC worked with mp4 fine and the aspect ratio was always correct. Any Ideas? 2) Also, the "no UDP" tickbox seems to not work- it always seems to try UDP, then timeout after a few seconds and go to TCP. I can't seem to get UDP stable even inside my lan, which is odd. Any ideas on that point? Finally, I thinik I'm probably not alone in using thie often for streaming form "clips" folder, but am limited to ONE, and can't give it a network path either. Maybe an idea for future feature....I will poke around and see if I can map things somehow using mediaPortal in a way that I can use with piiptv, haven't explored that much yet as I'm not much interested in live streaming yet.

Thanks again!

what player are you using on your E71? If it is the stock realplayer, I belive it is because it is a crappy player and it is unstable to me too when I am connected to my wlan

msmith9xr4,

From user guide

http://piiptv.japo.fi/download/Mediaportal_PiipTv_plugin_for_nokia_N-series_phones.pdf

"-if you are using NAT and you are behind firewall and UDP stream is not working to you, you always get just TCP stream (seen from plugin status UI). Open firewall UDP ports from 7000-7004. Now stream is enabled from one user. If you want to allow multiple users to use UDP (eg two streamers same time, eg one for liveTV and same time one user using recorded clips) open also 7004-7008 and so on, as many as you want to allow same time users."

-------------
Check that 5050 port from your router / firewall, but if 80 works then it's fine


About mediaportal and network drive. We tried once to get MP to record to network share but some how it was not working at all, i also asked help from ICR channel, but i did not get any reasonable help. So that is clearly MP problem, if MP can handle correctly network share then piiptv plugin should not have any problems. If some one can get MP to record eg to NAS or PC NW share, please inform or if some one can push this issue forward in MP development team, it would be nice

It seems PiipTv is not compatible with SVN 21813 If the dll file exists in ...\MediaPortal Server\Plugins folder (it does not need to be selected), the TvServerConfiguration->Plugins node doesnt show any of the plugins I have previously selected. Removing the file restores the correct behaviour.

Yep, it doesn´t work with the latest SVN. I cannot configure at all. It shows with the plugins but can´t do anything with it Update coming? This sound so promising and I would like to test it.
