[QUOTE="Big_Kev, post: 325774, member: 52102"] I am more than happy for you to keep posting! - I don't even remember the last time I had a good memory! I am looking into the Google Code thing - it looks very good, with issue tracking etc. Kev Hi, Firstly - streaming only works if the TV Server (MP) and the Web Interface and the TV Card are all on the same PC. Reboot the PC to ensure that any "stray" instances of vlc are cleaned up (could be from previous crashes of the web interface) Can you try streaming from the TV Service page. Select a channel so your card is time-shifting, then click on the streaming Icon. It should go green - but no streaming window will be opened. If it does not go green, check Task Manager to see if a copy of vlc.exe has been started... you will have to select the option to view processes from all users as it is SYSTEM that starts the VLC instance for streaming. If it is running, there may be some other issues... Please check that you have entered a streaming port and a VLC port for each card that you want to stream. If it is running, try the following... Open your browser on the streaming PC and go to [url]http://localhost:[/url][VLC Control Port]/requests/vlm.xml if you are using the default settings, this will be... [url]http://localhost:8071/requests/vlm.xml[/url] you should get some XML in response to this. [HTML] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> - <vlm> - <broadcast name="WebInterface1" enabled="yes" loop="no"> <output>#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=kevin-laptop:8086}}</output> - <inputs> <input>rtsp://10.0.0.2/stream1.0</input> </inputs> <options /> - <instances> <instance name="default" state="playing" position="0" time="0" length="0" rate="0" title="0" chapter="0" seekable="1" playlistindex="1" /> </instances> </broadcast> </vlm>[/HTML] If you dont, then there is a problem with the port you are using OR your firewall is blocking the port on the local machine. You may only see the <vlm> tags if the interface was not added properly. The web interface uses this xml file to determine if streaming is on or off. If it can not contact the VLC instance (because of the firewall) then it will report it as not streaming. If it is working, see if you can connect uing VLC. Start VLC and select Network from the media menu. set protocol to HTTP, then type in the dst address from the <output> tag in the xml page... in the example above, I would use kevin-laptop:8086 (from dst=kevin-laptop:8086 in output tag). DO NOT PUT IN ANY SLASHES, VLC will add these automatically... so //kevin-laptop:8086 would not work! Let me know how you go and we can try some other options if necessary. Kev Also, please check the log from the TV SERVICE page - event logging and see if there are any errors shown there. [/QUOTE]
