PiipTV: LiveTV & remote PVR for Nokia Video Center (2 Viewers)

[audball]

Mannianen,
Since your plugin works as an RSS player for Nokia Video Center, is it possible to support a Sony PSP system? They have RSS support as well.

audball,

Do you have specification or working sample for PSP RSS/XML support? So that i can little bit check what it requires from plugin

 

[audball]

Is this good enough?

streaming?

Hi,

thank you very much for this latest version! It´s working pretty nicely but I do have one problem
When I stream content to another PC the picture quality is crap + the VLC crashes sometimes and it takes 100% CPU from the streaming computer.
I'm using VLC 0.8.6f as you have suggested. I'm getting much better picture quality and stable stream with StreamTV plugin. But I would only like to use one plugin that would do it all. And yours is now so close to that!
Can I also change the tv channels by group? Because now it shows all the channels in the EPG. Recording and EPG work great!

tlevis,

What streaming parameters you are using? And have you selected PC profile to use once streaming to other PC?
Have you done any note that is problem with TCP or UDP protocol?`

One thing would be activate full log and try to get some idea there...

h.264 encoding works with nightly build of 0.9.10...
but one thing it is not working (or I dont know how to do it) is to start multiple streams (more computers, more different channels, on same card and on same transponder)

dorijan,

Thanks about VLC info! I just made very quick trial and it seems to work as you said

here is direct link for that VLC version:
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/branch-20090504-0004/vlc-0.9.10-git-win32.exe

Using one TV -card and watch different channels from one MUX is not yet possible, that is still on my ToDo -list. But if you have two (or more) TV-card then two different users can watch different channels.

audball,

Have you tried to use plugin with your PSP?

I loaned PSP for my friend and it worked immediately

you just need to browse to http://your_server:5050/PiipTemp/PiipVodDl.xml

And it seems that PSP does not support streaming (no rtsp:// in spec mentioned), so downloable clips are only option.

now it works flawlessly Don't know what has happened but vlc stopped crashing.
I disabled AVC codec use and the VOD-download thing. Also I increased the bitstream to 2000 from 384. Now the picture looks good in my LAN.
Thank you very very much for this plugin!
Recording and EPG are also still working great.

Mannianen,
I noticed that only VOD downloads have option to change aspect ratio. Can you enable this with VOD stream or better yet Live Stream? Or is that a Nokia Video Center limitation?

Thanks,
Audball
