Streaming Link? (1 Viewer)

[the1]

I have a TV server set up on another PC on my network but would like to watch the stream on my Mac.
Obviously MP is not supported on the Mac platform.

Is there a link I can retrieve somehow and watch the stream through VLC on my Mac?

Or is there maybe another way to do it?

Is it possible for me to install xbmc on my Mac and keep MediaPortal as my Tv server? And watch Live Tv through xbmc on my mac but it's acting as a client to my MP server?

It is possible to use either XBMC or VLC.

For VLC, please follow the wiki:

For XBMC, no idea of the specifics but it can be done.

Thanks for that @mm1352000 I think I ll look into the XBMC option!

I use xbmc on my MBA to watch tv.

Get the tv server plugin here: http://www.scintilla.utwente.nl/~marcelg/xbmc/tvserverxbmc.html (get the zip file with release DLL and debug executable, since there are a great readme in the zip).

Check the xbmc wiki: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR/Backend/MediaPortal
Some hints: make samba-shares of your timeshift and recording folders and you might have to open up port 9596 for lan access in your servers firewall.

Edit:
In standard video setting de-interlacing is turned of. Set it to auto otherwise SD TV looks like crap
