Stream TV over WAN possible? (1 Viewer)

[fabien44]

Hi,

i run under MP1 and i can successfully watch TV on a client connected inner my LAN network.
Now i would like to watch tv over WAN because i aoim not always at home.
I configure my laptop tv client to the public IP adress of my network and i create a route access to the IP local tv server but it does not work.

Is there a way to watch TV on WAN to the tv server?

Thanks
Fabien

dude, i seriously want to have your internet connection if you're actually capable of streaming "uncompressed" mpeg2....

what is your uplink speed? i seriously doubt that it would be sufficiant for what you're trying to do.

anyways, i use VLC for streaming of tv over wan sometimes, but with an uplink of 60 kiloBYTE per second its a real pain in the A, even when transcoded and scaled down a lot....

It isn't the MediaPortal GUI, but you can stream your TV (and other media content) over WAN using Orb. (MyCast your digital media with Orb 2.0 remote pc access software)

It's open source and very flexible, so tons of fun!

hmmmm old thread but actual same question
- now that i will get a 50 mBit up/down-line the next few months

will that work?
(only SD tv? HD will not be important)

Hi

Theoretically yes - I don't know of any widely available HD or SD stream that is even close 50 Mbits/s, so you should have plenty of bandwidth. In practise I think that you'll find the latency will be just as important. It can't hurt to trial and see.

hmm sounds not bad -

here in germany we have the problem that small villages don't get high-speed-internet.
(not enought mony to earn for the big Internet-providsers)


so one group came along and said - viber! if 60% of the population will take it -
so we will get this big bandwidth hopefully...
thats why i got that thougth

for me it would be nice to get a SD-Stream running to my office
which is about 20 kliks away from my home/house.
i don't have an idea how many hops that would be
- so i dont have an idea about the latency...

but as you say - try and see - won't hurt ;-)

I think with a 50 MBit up you will have no problem with sd channels. I can't imagine that latency will be such a big issue (it's video streaming after all).

Nice bandwidth btw.

I have tried this and got it to work. I set up a MP client on my laptop and went to my parents house and started configuring using trial and error.. The router was easy enough to configure (port forwarding) but I ran in to some problems with the MP config files. I don't remember which files it was but the problem was that the server name was used instead of the ip address.
I have 100mbit down/up full duplex (since 2007 ) and my parents have 8mbit download.

I'm also very interested in streaming through WAN.

But I'm unsure if MePo can do it on a 30/3 Mbit connection - 3 Mbit upload is probably too low.

Does anyone have an idea of what bandwidth that uncompressed MPEG2 reguires? Have anyone benchmarked their LAN-connection?

A SD MPEG2 channel is about 4 - 6 Mbit/s. I use MPWebStream to stream my channels to VLC on WAN with a 10 Mbit/s internet connection. It can also do transcoding so even a 1 Mbit/s connection should work.
