[resolved] Guide installation VDR in Ubuntu 13.10: Remote TV and control with tablet android (step by step)

DocViper · 12. Februar 2014

Yes, that works as well but I think it is enough support from my side.

As a starting point...
Read this:
http://projects.vdr-developer.…ojects/show/plg-streamdev

With no guarantee....

"Stop vdr service"

Install

Code

sudo apt-get install vdr-plugin-streamdev

search and edit

Code

streamdevhosts.conf

And put in

Code

#
# streamdevhosts  This file describes a number of host addresses that
#                 are allowed to connect to the streamdev server running
#                 with the Video Disk Recorder (VDR) on this system.
# Syntax:
#
# IP-Address[/Netmask]
#


127.0.0.1             # always accept localhost
192.168.0.0/16     # any host on the local net

Alles anzeigen

On the server (the pc with the video card) we don't need the streamdev-client so we deactive it:
search and edit

Code

/var/lib/vdr/setup.conf

Look for the line streamdev-client.StartClient and set to = 0

Code

streamdev-client.StartClient = 0

"Start VDR service"

AndroVDR already supports streaming just activate it in the settings.
- On my android phone it works with VLC player and with the normal video player, both are free.

On other computers just install VLC player
and use webbrower to got to

http://192.168.1.7:3000/channels.m3u

By the way:
You should try to become more independent and use google to search for answers.
Just following instructions will not help you in the future.
And thanks for the dinner and beer offer. Just enjoy the VDR and we are even.

ciao
Joe

E: Impossibile trovare il pacchetto vdr-plugin-streamdev

The package names are vdr-plugin-streamdev-server (server part) and vdr-plugin-streamdev-client (for VDR clients that need to stream DVB data from another VDR with vdr-plugin-streamdev-server).

I did not even have time to comment on the post of joe :
Cancel dinner and beer
and raise with a pizza and a Sicilian wine here. : D
I am still too clumsy
and I still need forums
how much patience and professionalism
as JOE and others.
With google I still can " step by step "
almost always damage : D

my case it should be a server !?

Step 1 )

Step 2 )
edit: streamdevhosts.conf

or /var/lib/vdr/plugins/streamdev-server ?

Yes, If you want your VDR to be able to stream DVB channels...

Step 2 )
edit: streamdevhosts.conf
of /etc/vdr/plugins
or /var/lib/vdr/plugins/streamdev-server ?

/var/lib/vdr/plugins/streamdev-server/streamdevhosts.conf should be a symlink pointing to /etc/vdr/plugins/streamdevhosts.conf

One of them is a so called "symlink" pointing to the file.
Look in your file manager for the one that has no "arrow icon" - edit that one.

Edit: It should be

Code

/etc/vdr/plugins/streamdevhosts.conf

Then follow the instructions from my previous post.
Don't edit the setup.conf !
It is not needed because you only installed the streamdev-server.
You will not need the streamdev-client on that computer.

seahawk1986: Thanks for helping out on the package name. I thought there is a meta package for both...

"collagemento a testo" is italian for "link to a text", isn't it? So this should be a sybolic link to a file.
The easiest way to show it:

Code

ls -l /var/lib/vdr/plugins/streamdev-server/streamdevhosts.conf

danielemod · 12. Februar 2014

yes collegamento a testo is = links to a text

Code

dan13@dan13-EP41T-UD3L:~$ ls -l /var/lib/vdr/plugins/streamdev-server/streamdevhosts.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 mag 17  2013 /var/lib/vdr/plugins/streamdev-server/streamdevhosts.conf -> /etc/vdr/plugins/streamdevhosts.conf

DocViper · 12. Februar 2014

okay then

Edit:

Code

/etc/vdr/plugins/streamdevhosts.conf

to

Code

#
# streamdevhosts  This file describes a number of host addresses that
#                 are allowed to connect to the streamdev server running
#                 with the Video Disk Recorder (VDR) on this system.
# Syntax:

# IP-Address[/Netmask]
#


127.0.0.1             # always accept localhost
192.168.0.0/16     # any host on the local net

Start VDR again

Code

sudo service vdr start

That's it!

danielemod · 12. Februar 2014

step 2 ) correct
with

Code

sudo gedit /etc/vdr/plugins/streamdevhosts.conf

changes in

Code

dan13@dan13-EP41T-UD3L:~$ cat /etc/vdr/plugins/streamdevhosts.conf
#

okay good

start vdr service again.

then open a webbrowser on your ubuntu saucy and try:

http://localhost:3000

Joe

danielemod · 12. Februar 2014

step 4 )

Code

dan13@dan13-EP41T-UD3L:~$ sudo service vdr start
Starting Linux Video Disk Recorder: vdr
Searching for plugins (VDR 2.0.3/2.0.0) (cache miss): xineliboutput dvbsddevice streamdev-server.

step 5 )
open a webbrowser on your ubuntu saucy and try:
http://localhost:3000

I see in http://localhost:3000
a purple background

danielemod · 12. Februar 2014

sometime maybe I skipped the step

Code

/var/lib/vdr/setup.conf

Code

streamdev-client.StartClient = 0

DocViper · 12. Februar 2014

hmm ... purple background is strange

please post:

Code

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep vdr

Joe

danielemod · 12. Februar 2014

sometime maybe I skipped the step

Code

/var/lib/vdr/setup.conf

Code

streamdev-client.StartClient = 0

___________________________________________

by the command

Code

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep vdr

is a very large list
and put in this file:
syslog

DocViper · 12. Februar 2014

Code

streamdev-client.StartClient = 0

is not relevant

Did you try to use your Android phone to stream live video?
Maybe it works already?

Hit [...] button and select Streaming

The

Code

ERROR: invalid value for parameter 'M'

is because you copied your channels.conf from you old pc. The format of the channels.conf changed but we can fix that later.

Joe

danielemod · 12. Februar 2014

in the tablet and phone
the link: http://localhost:3000
"gives me : Can not connect to .... "

I can try in VLC ?

DocViper · 12. Februar 2014

Use AndroVDR as I have written.

localhost can not work on you tablet/phone

You will need to replace localhost with the IP of your Server
You can try VLC and open network URL

Code

http://192.168.1.7:3000/channels.m3u

Post again the setup.conf

I think there are some options missing:

add at the end of setup.conf

Code

streamdev-server.AllowSuspend = 1
streamdev-server.HTTPBindIP = 0.0.0.0
streamdev-server.HTTPServerPort = 3000
streamdev-server.HTTPStreamType = 1
streamdev-server.MaxClients = 5
streamdev-server.ServerPort = 2004
streamdev-server.StartHTTPServer = 1
streamdev-server.StartServer = 1
streamdev-server.SuspendMode = 1
streamdev-server.VTPBindIP = 0.0.0.0
