Well a test on my end shows that if you are watching TV through the stream (with one tuner) and select watch TV on the box itself it will go to black then exit out to the main menu after about 30 seconds.

I tested with two tuners and got the same result. MythTV didn't realize to try the second tuner.

So in a two tuner setup, being able to select the 2nd tuner would be ideal.

I have uploaded new tar files. These files include:

- no IP address in mythstreamtvLive.sh script (thanx rogabean)

- removed extra call to vlc in mythstreamtvLive.sh
(bug that caused two kills to stop streaming)

- Add screen scrap for mythweb status.php to collect tuner list/status.
This data is used to build 'Device' dropdown list on 'confirm' form.

**** I have updated my origial directions, please reread them ****

I've been tinkering with a "remote control" in the page to change the channels.. will post once I get something a little less clunky

cool, need to spawn off a copy of the last php form, mythstreamtvLive_createfile.php. has the controls for recorded streming which really don't lend themselves to Live streaming.

Did the 'Device' dropdown work for you?

device dropdown does not work for me... looking to see why.

drop down may be a little rough....its is a scraper...scraping R5A16 status.

Just try running the /myth/stream/parse* script, it should print an html <option> tag for each tuner on the status page

I triied playing with ivtvctl to change channels on the fly....but it is VERY slow....40-50 seconds to see new channels (this was through a highly buffered connection to work.My DSL upload speed sucks. It was faster for my to rre-hit the 'Stream Live TV' link and start over.

maybe tests on my LAN will be quicker

krusher, would you mind posting your process for item 1 in your instructions?

1) reconfigure and build vlc with -enable-pvr config option

I get streaming and recorded working without sound. I'm guessing it has to do with compiling ffmpeg. I followed the README with the options they listed and it compiled fine.

I also tried a recompile of vlc with the options listed in the README, but get an error:

configure: error: Missing header file postproc/postprocess.h.

I'm a noob and can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Willo,

I needed to do the following on my R5A16 system (couldnt get to work in R4V5). in my R4V5 env, I also had video w/o sound. do you get errors at the top of the log that are complaining about 'can't find codec'? i was unable to successfully build these pieces prior to upgrading.

The detailed instructions in this thread are to add Live TV streaming to an existing mythstreamTV environment. the detail parts for step one are

1) apt-get remove ffmpeg

2) follow the mythstreamtv install instructions on the sourceforge page to config and build ffmpeg and vlc:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=26377&group_id=127846
alter the step in the above linked document that configures vlc: add --enable-pvr to the end. also assure that the path in the --with-ffmpeg-tree parameter points to the location of your newly built ffmpeg environment.

All is working with the exception of this error...

[00000000] main root error: option pvr-caching does not exist

any ideas?

Thanks

same error I was getting... didn't seem to interfere with anything. I wouldn't worry about it personally.


Right now I can't really test anything though as mythstreamtv in general has stopped working for me... everything appears to be working... just doesn't... but I'm sure I'll find the source of the issue this weekend...


edit: welcome to Roga's world of being a moron.. I had turned on auto transcoding to mpeg-4... you can not stream through mythstreamtv if you do this.... dummy me. all better.

Being this is the forum for KnoppMyth TV I automatically thought that MythStream TV is going to work. Well, after following all the instructions, I got 'Oops! No Support for this version of Mythweb'. What gives?

You know I had the same issue... was simple enough to fix.. but for the life of me I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it...

I'll poke around when I'm home next and see if I can tell you what I did to fix that seattle.

Thanks for your reply. Let me know what you find out.

Well, I am willing to give a shot to Fedora Core 3. I downloaded the 2.5 GB iso file which is named x86_64.iso. I burned it on a DVD and tried to boot with it. Bam, I get a message "Your CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution."

I mean, all other files are listed as i386 and i386-SRPMS. Where are 486 files or should I download the i386 files? These cryptic names do not make sense!

Regards,
S
