Re: [Updated 30 Dec!] MPExtended WebMediaPortal 0.4.1

BTW, Oxan... and maybe this has been brought up, but do you think HTML5 will be an option soon for streaming, instead of relying on Flash?

Not in the near future. I think I've written this before somewhere, but I can't find it:

• The WebM codec is way too slow to do live transcoding. It encodes at about 15 frames/second on a PhenomII X4 965 for 720p material (while H.264 gets to 70 frames/second).
• The Ogg codec is a bit better but still not even close to 25 fps. It also requires a bit higher bitrate for the same stream, and it doesn't support live transcoding.
• The H.264 codec is only supported in the MP4 container, which doesn't support live transcoding.

Thanks for the quick reply. The live tv is indeed working but i don't understand what you mean with service and account?

He Oxan, I did some digging and found out that i can watch recordings and these are on my Network NAS. It is strang that i can't watch any movie wich are on the same NAS.

Hmm yeah, overlooked something in your logs. I think I found the problem and fixed it for 0.4.2.
EDIT: Not sure. Are you sure the file that's you want to play does exist (does it play in MediaPortal)?

To be honest, I prefer one with a horizontal EPG. It can be implemented quite easily though, so if an developer is interested...

Thanks,
i have some web programming experience, maybe i'll give it a try to implement a vertical view

Great! You can find the code in WWW/Views/Television/TVGuide.cshtml.

Re: [Updated 30 Dec!] MPExtended WebMediaPortal 0.4.1

...

I can browse and set schedules, but the streaming doesn't work (off course since there is no Flash and direct VLC streaming).

I have tried to make adjustments to the streaming.xml but nothing seems to work.

Are there a possibility of getting this to work on the iPad and could anyone provide values for the streaming.xml file i would appreciate it much.

There is no streaming support for iOS. For that to get implemented, either Apple should release a free SDK or a developer with knowledge of streaming to iOS should help us.

OXAN: Didn't know that there was so big difference in supporting iOS devices. I tried to adjust parameters in streaming.xml to output mp4. I thought FFMPEG could provide stream to iOS also. I also thought that iPimp used FFMPEG to stream to iPhone/iPod/iPad and that worked nicely.

Regards

There's not really much difference in the codec settings (that can be handled perfectly with ffmpeg indeed), but the containers cause problems. MP4 can't be used as it doesn't support live transcoding. The other supported option by iOS (HTTP Live Streaming) isn't fully implemented in MPExtended yet.

Weird. I think I've fixed this for 0.4.2 (release next weekend) but I'm not sure.

That's indeed a bug that appears and disappears more or less random. I've fixed it for 0.4.2.

Hi,

When I log into the Extended Web I can't access any of the given links. It seems there is no link.

Thanks for the help!

You have missed some log files I think. At least WebMediaPortal.log is required to debug these kind of issues. You also seem to be using an ancient Moving Pictures.

Hi,
thanks for the fast response!

I reated a new zip. out of the MPExtended Configuration. When I go directly to the pages eg. http://mediaportal:8080/Television/TVGuide t works. But on the "home" page there are no active links.

Thanks for your help

Hello !

I have a fresh single seat install, and it doesn't works to me.
I found the following error in the Service.log :

2012-01-15 22:09:56.8828 [(8)] ERROR: Unhandled exception in service (SOAP interface)
(ChannelDispatcher.ProvideFault => ErrorBehavior.ProvideFault => SoapExceptionHandling.ProvideFault)

a következő helyen: System.ServiceModel.Channels.CommunicationObject.ThrowIfDisposed()

a következő helyen: System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.SingletonInstanceContextProvider.GetExistingInstanceContext(Message message, IContextChannel channel)
a következő helyen: System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.ChannelHandler.TryRetrievingInstanceContext(RequestContext request)

Is there any idea, what should I do to solve this problem ?
