UPDATE

the new Profiles look like this, and are included in MPExtended 0.5.4 (i.e. if you're running MPExtended v0.5.4 or newer, you don't need to add them manually).

Old Crap:

Spoiler

I created a WP8 App to play live-tv via MPExtended. This app needs a new StreamingProfile installed to mpextended. What the best way to submit this profile to default installation? Here is the Profile:

		<TranscoderProfile>	  <Name>WP8 High VLC</Name>	  <Description>WP8 Streaming Profile Low</Description>	  <HasVideoStream>true</HasVideoStream>	  <MIME>video/mp4</MIME>	  <MaxOutputWidth>320</MaxOutputWidth>	  <MaxOutputHeight>160</MaxOutputHeight>	  <Targets>		<Target>WP8</Target>	  </Targets>	  <Bandwidth>1280</Bandwidth>		<Transport>http</Transport>	  <Transcoder>MPExtended.Services.StreamingService.Transcoders.VLCWrapper</Transcoder>	  <TranscoderParameters>		<path>C:\Program Files (x86)\MPExtended\Service\Streaming\vlc-2.0.2\MPExtended.Libraries.VLCWrapper.exe</path>		<options>--ffmpeg-hw --sout-ffmpeg-strict=-2</options>		<encoder>threads=4,fps=25, vcodec=h264,vb=256,venc=x264{profile=baseline,preset=faster,no-cabac,trellis=0,keyint=50},deinterlace=-1,aenc=ffmpeg,acodec=mp3,ab=128,samplerate=48000,channels=2,audio-sync</encoder>		<muxer>:standard{access=file,mux=ts,dst=#OUT#}</muxer>	  </TranscoderParameters>	</TranscoderProfile>

Update: The App is in certification Process for WP8 store. as soon as this is done, i post the link to the app here. And yes - its free

Awesome!

There's no support for upgrading the transcoder profiles yet, but I'm implementing it at the moment. I'll probably just add your profile to 0.5.4

This will probably be changed in the future (we'll either create a directory with profile files for each client, or let the client update them through the API), but it'll take some time for that to get implemented.

Maybe allow Clients to InitStream with custom profileXmlNode generated by the client. this way no change is required for every new client.

Do you think that profile will work for WP7? I assume that I just need to paste it into the streamingprofiles.xml file.

I cant fest for wp7.
It works on WP, but only with my app as wp8 cant decode mpegts out of the box.
I will try to get my app working with wp7 as soon as i got a testing device.

What is the name of you're app?
So I know what I'm searching for when it coming trough the Store process....

i will publish the link here as soon as its available. I dont make it public in the beginning. Only access via url.

If I read the streaming profile properly, you are using vlc to encode the original file or stream (if tv that would be mpeg2 video codec in .ts container) into an mp4 container with .h264 video codec. I think that is compatible with WP7! (depending on resolution, etc, etc,).

What I don't understand is how MPExtended recognizes the client and creates the pick-list of compatible streaming profiles.

The Problem is: mp4 container is not available for LIVE streaming on WP. only LIVE streaming working on WP by default is Microsoft Smooth Streaming Server.

The streaming profile I created is using h264 and mp3 in an mpeg-ts stream. On Client side is a cusom mpeg-ts parser which is not implemented on WP by default. If you have a developer-unlocked WP7 phone, i can try to create an WP7 xap package for u to try if it is running on wp7

Interesting...so you are trying to get away from the "standard" server, so copying sample applications that require a smooth streaming server would be of no use to you.
The issue was raised by my Daughter (who has my old Lumia 710 since work provided me with an iphone). She is taking a high-school programming course that is supposed to involve either some html coding for mobile OR app development at the end of the course....I'll see if she is up to signing up as a WP student developer (free developer unlock of phone). Microsoft really did not make this easy. Previous application used was Plex server + client, which worked on WP7 and Iphone and (not very well) on Xbox; I guess that the Plex server must have a smoothstreaming server implementation. I like MPExtended better since it is open source, fast, and does not double-up on databases.
