TVplugin - avoiding RTSP in multiseat mode (test plz). (3 Viewers)

All good. Not sure if it was a reboot that fixed it, but after rebooting the mediaportal.xml was on the client.

Interestingly, with 4TheRecord installed, there is the option on the client config for "Use TS file instead of RTSP for live TV (if possible)".

I had this checked and when I was checking mediaportal.log there was no sign of RTSP = false. Unchecking the above option on the client, gotthe log entry.

So would appear that 4TR is also able to avoid RTSP as well.

4therecord use unc as well, I think that option is for the next release of FTR (wich will support RTSP).

Or set UNC with the option /DebugOptions

Or set UNC with the option /DebugOptions

That worked great!

Maybe the plugin instructions (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/.../comskip-how-single-seat-server-client-76719/) should refer to this part instead of the first post which talks about making changes to mediaportal.xml.

Do you have a link to the update that specifies that?

had some problems with suttering (sometimes) using UNC paths (non-RTSP) on one of my client pc's, after investigating the logs i saw some: "MultiFileReader has error 0x80 in Loop 0. Try to clear SMB Cache", so i tried to disable SMB2 on my w7 64bit client using:

sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled

and rebooted, no more Try to clear SMB Cache messages in the tsreader log, and no stuttering.

EDIT: still some MultiFileReader has error 0x80 in Loop 0. Try to clear SMB Cache, but the occasionally stutter is gone.

Yea just an update on this aspect. The new release of 4TR (1.6.0.0) has RTSP support and on the client it seems RTSP is turned on by default for live recordings.

After upgrading noticed my channel changing was suddenly "Choppy", ie you would change channel, screen would flash, go black and then next channel would start.

Back to nirvana again after turning that off in 4TR.

Just to bump the thread, but finding in the latest SVN, and before, that when in multiseat, using UNC paths the streaming/zapping is much faster, also find it much more stable than using RTSP streaming.
