Do you talk about to play same stream on another client?
...
I use the same.

Exactly.. so you restream the rtsp://tvserver:556/stream8.0 ? Have you experienced any locking of the .ts files when you do this?
I had another issue that caused my tv server instability, so I may give it another go then..

What I want to achieve is to stream what I'm watching over the internet (to share with a friend) in a comprehensive way and respect the Cam-limit of 1.
So I figured I could configure a channel on a new (virtual) dvb-ip card named Stream 8.0 (with Cam-limit 0) and have my friend tune to that via WebMediaPortal.
The result was that my friend could tune to it, but he would start watching at the beginning of the ts buffer and there is no way to fast forward to make him watch the "live content".
Also if I change channel, my friend would just be watching to the end of the buffer and then the webclient would stop. Restarting the webclient would have him start watching the beginning of the same buffer.

Another way I figured out I could do this is to load the channels I want to share in a modified Vodserver (see forum) configuration , so if I tune to that channel, it would create 2 ffmpeg output streams:
1 for my MediaPortal to watch and 1 transcoded for Wan for my friend. I'm still figuring out how to properly do this, since it got all glitchy when I tested, but that would be a less elegant way then to have him go to my WebMediaPortal.

If you can point me in the right direction or have some advice it would be very much appreciated.



EDIT:
The other way around it works perfectly..so first start a stream on WebMediaportal, then go to active streams and you'll see the webmedia portal stream listed. If only there was a way to open active streams in WebMediaPortal...

I can not help you with WebMediaPortal.

Can you tell me the command(s) you use for opening the stream on the second client? is it like mpextended does this?
So
1..start timeshifting
2..Create named pipe (this process is a bit unclear to me, should I create my own named pipe?)
3. Transcode

I got this info from the MPextended log... Are you using this method or is yours simpler?

Please forgot mpextended. It is the TvServer.

I get that...
Sorry for being so nosey, but my only question here is: what is the command you use to get the stream duplicated in tv server? (*so maybe I can use that command elsewhere).
Thanks!

No any duplication. The second client watches the same rtsp stream as 1st one.

Ok thanks..
I have a workable situation now:
-My friend can view use the transcoded streams from Webmediaportal in his Kodi IPTV setup (links from WebMediaPortal)
-My friend has a lower user priority so he's not in the way and will get kicked if he tries to use a card that I'm using
-If we both want to see a channel at the same time on the same card with Cam-limit 1 he can tune to the channel first, and I can tune to the active tv stream with your wonderful build!
-I'm upping the cam limit from 1 to 2 soon by purchasing another iptv subscription with the same channels.

I'm going to work on WebMediaPortal/MPextended to figure out how to access and transcode a currently active stream outside of MePo, just like regeszter does in MePo client.

I just uploaded the new build based on 1.15 Final.

Have been running it without noticible issues since...

regeszter, are you still developing? Are you planning to implement these changes in the next Regeszter's release or what's your plan?
