Self Contained Web Server / Interface (1 Viewer)

[rsenden]

I have a new problem: If the BKRemote-plugin is activated, the plugin "external Display" does not work anymore. I have an Antec Fusion 430 with VFD-Display. After enabling BKRemote the VFD-display is not working anymore. If I disable BKRemote the display works without errors...?

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with VFD.
I use the CybrDisplay Plugin for that VFD.
??

This is probably why mine started giving me a 'data not available' message. It started about the time I put the BKhelper update on. I hadn't got round to finding out why the net stream wasn't coming through. Anyway, my display is from the Thermaltake DH101, which uses the SoundGraph IMon LCD and controller.

Any news on this issue yet? I've got a similar problem, although with a different plug-in; I'm using the Asus S-Presso display plugin (MEDIAPORTAL - free MediaCenter HTPC Software - Asus SPresso). This plug-in was written by myself, and is more or less based on the 'External Display' plug-in code.

In my particular case, MediaPortal (version 1.0 RC3 with TV-Server) crashes completely if I have both the S-Presso and BkRemote plug-ins enabled. The last few lines in the log are from my S-Presso plug-in. When I disable one of these two plug-ins, MediaPortal starts correctly.

If I remember correctly, the main code that I re-used from the External Display plug-in has to do with reading the current status from the g_Player object (e.g. g_Player.Is*, g_Player.Paused, g_Player.Playing, g_Player.CurrentPosition). Maybe BkRemote somehow breaks this functionality? When I have time I will try to investigate this issue further, but time is quite limited at the moment. Is the source code for BkRemote available anywhere?

BTW I've just upgraded to MP 1.0 RC3 this week, and with this MP Web Server & Interface plug-in I finally have a good web interface, even for my PDA. It even works through my nginx reverse proxy that I've got running on my router (although I've only done a few quick tests so far). So thank you very much for this plug-in.

Just tested the new release, and unfortunatly it isn't working for me.
Tested with VLC 0.9.2 on the Server and got a runtime error, while the streaming window opens.
See attachments.
Second is from Firefox error console, stating some warnings and an error. I'm not sure if the error correspondes to the VLC issue.
If you need more details, let me know.

Edit:
Retested with the latest VLC. Still not able to stream, but the error console had better output.
Stating that the playlist is undefined.
BTW: For updating VLC you need to turn off MP webserver cause its blocking the bins and dll's of VLC.

Hi,

Did you try the work around mentioned in the Streaming PDF?

If not, try copying these DLLs from the VLC Directory to your windows directory... alternatively, you could try adding the VLC directory to your PATH environment variable, though I have not tried this.

• avcodec-51.dll
• libfontconfig-1.dll
• libfreetype-6.dll
• libgcrypt-11.dll
• libgpg-error-0.dll
• libiconv-2.dll
• libxml2-2.dll
• libz-1-2.dll

I'm getting the same with VLC 0.9.4

I may be missing something here...

Are your errors for the VLC server or the client connection?

I have got mine to work with 6.0.5. It does sometimes have issues starting the stream but I get no errors. I found that with my setup, i had changed my TV Server card priorities around for some other reason. when I switched it back to the default, which is how TV Server deteced the cards, I got a lot better success with starting the stream. Also noticed that when it did fail, the TV Server failed to lock the channel so I could have a signal problem (very windy where I live today).

Note I have not seen errors with VLC using IE7 on XPsp3.

Thanks for the great work Big_Kev, this is addition is truely awesome and the speed at which you thow it out is unbelivable.........

You would not happen to be behind a Proxy server at all. I found yesterday at my work that I always got an error when I was behind the proxy server. If I switched to direct ADSL, all work fine.

No I tested in my internal network. No proxy, nothing redirected, etc. Plain local network.

Last test was with 0.9.4 and the latest libraries copied over. Due to the fact that I tested the new features it think it was an error of the server VLC.
I did not test with client VLC.

The problem is VLC related (using FF3). I think I´ll just use the VLC streaming option (using the VLC software to stream) because I prefer a different default embedded media player. Nice to have this feature anyway

 

[Mr.Montesa]

In IE6 I cant even click the streaming button. No response.
IE Error console stating about an error:
Line: 44; digit: 1; error: waiting for object; code: 0; url=http://192.168.23.11/showguide
No clue if that corresponds to streaming issue.
