VLC.exe is not running in my case, and that's what causing probably an issue. Is there any logging?

VLC has its own logging - but it is a bit difficult to get to it if it does not start...

I don't have any logging in the current version, but I will add it now and try and upload today.

Could be an issue...

Please try the command prompt with both vlc.exe rtsp://10.0.1.2/stream5.0 and vlc.exe rtsp://10.0.1.2/stream1.0.

Do either of these work? if so, which one?

5.0 works. So what now? VLC is still not running in background listening on port.

Try this from the command prompt...

vlc.exe rtsp://10.0.1.2/stream5.0 :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=10.0.1.2:119}} and see if it is listening and you can connect.

yes that works. Issue I think is that your service is not launched VLC in background and this fails for some reason, either wrong command line paramaters or permissions or something else. You need probably to add logging and output exact command line which is used to launch VLC. It's possible path is misslpelled to VLC or something.

Sorry, one more test...

Can you run this command?

vlc.exe rtsp://10.0.1.2/stream5.0 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=500,scale=0.5,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=10.0.1.2:119}} :sout-keep

and connect?

(no line break or white space in the transcode stream please!)

 

[artisticcheese]

No this did not work

New Version 0.6.0.1 beta

Added some event logging as suggested by artisticcheese.

See "Show Log" button on TV Service page - or logging page in Manager if Web Interface is not running.

Please note that the event log will be overwritten each time We Interface restarts, so if it crashes, look in the Web Interface Manager before restarting.

This would tend to indicate that the transcode options are causing VLC to crash...

Try starting the VLC GUI. Go to the "Media" menu, select "streaming".
On the "Network" tab, select the RTSP protocol.
In the network address type 10.0.1.2/stream5.0

Click the "Stream" button.

On the Streaming Options page, select the output as http, address as 10.0.1.2, port as 119
for Encapsulation, select MPEG-TS
Select the "Keep stream output open"

Now try some of the different Video and Audio codecs etc and see if you can find some that work for you - and also with / without audio, with / without video.

Also try with / without "Keep stream output open" option

Big_Kev,

Been playing around with channel sorting. In TVServer, channel sorting is only available in a TV Group. If I select the group in the Guide, then the channels are sorted properly as defined in TVServer. However, channel selection in filter pulldowns still go by order without a group. I think the best way to do channel sorting would be allow it to be done in TVServer, and then have a setting in MPWebInt to define the default channel group.


Thanks.

This works with both audio/video through Internet. No issues. Problem is that your application does not launch VLC in background when it starts. I looked at the log and I don't see there any relevant entries to launching VLC with paths etc.
