[ANNOUNCE] iStreamdev-1.0.1 - stream vdr & media files to your Iphone

@ izeman

jep, these channels looks very good ... no "," (what's the english word for "," comma?
so they have to work pretty good ....

while everything works on the commandline, i would say, there's something wrong with your webserver config ... or the permissions ...

do you use apache 2 ? is there something in /var/log/apache2/error.log ?

"," komma/beistrich = comma and
";" strichpunkt = semicolon

so, jetzt switch ich mal auf deutsch um ...
also, den Fehler hatte ich anfangs auch bei der 0.3.2 ... das hängt m.w. mit diesem Eintrag zusammen:

$cmd='./svdrpsend.pl lstc "'.$chan.'" | grep -m 1 "'.$chan.';\|'.$chan.':" | cut -b 5- | cut -d\ -f 1| cut -d\, -f1 ';

der haut irgendwie nich hin ...
hat also nix mit segmenter zu tun, sondern eher mit der /includes/inc_vdr.php

Ich häng dir mal die inc_vdr.php an ... kopiere die einfach in deinem istreamdev-verzeichnis unter includes/ ... darin sind mentox' Änderungen drin ... probiers mal damit
(.txt einfach wieder umbenennen in .php)

good luck
rob

bleib ma bei deutsch, bzw österreichisch: paaaast. es tut
danke. du/ihr seid echt helden. kann mich nicht erinnern wann ich das letzte mal soooo gelitten habe bei einem stueck software

DANKE!!

is it planed to integrate istreamdev in ivdr ?

mentox

Please everybody speak english ...

New version with recordings is ready, need more testing!
Alib should release it soon

Next version is all made of php calls instead of cut, etc ...
Dont waste time correcting this one

Hi alib,

thank's for the new 0.3.3.
The Problem with the "," is solved .. works now for me

Recordings do not work in my setup ... always saying "Unable to open video ...."

I also have problems with the application running sometimes in timeouts (e.g. when I chose channels, the "Category" list appears ... but when I choose a category, the wheel in the statusbar of the iPhone is turning around but nothing happens anymore ... but maybe that's a problem with my internet-connection at the moment ... I will try this later, when I'm home again)

Hi,

i have got the same problem here.
When i click on a category, my browser tries to load the channel list but nothing happens.

I am still trying to get the whole thing work.

When i start istream.sh on command line, all seems to work, the .ts files were generated.
But i am unable to play them, even with vlc or mplayer.

vlc says something like "ffmpeg: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)"

I try this on a MacBook 2,4 Ghz using vlc.

Hi alib

same for me here - using wifi. Sometimes channel-list doesn't appear. Also streaming sometimes doesn't start, but most of the time it works.
For recordings: i can see the recordings, even a bit more than needed - i see the whole file structure in the recording-directory (don't know - is this intended?). Choosing one of the .vdr files brings the same error as for somebody101.

bene

easyvdr users: you have to edit the file /etc/at.deny and erase the www-data entry. It's the easiest way to set file-rights in istreamdev if you are logged in as www-data while unpacking the .tar.gz file (su - www-data). in /var/www/config.php the parameter $vdrrecpath should point to '/media/video0/'.

Hi alib,

ok, here's my channels.conf.

I found an errormessage in the user.log while the error with "hanging application" occurrs ... saying:

Feb 16 15:34:57 rctv vdr: [1543] connect from 127.0.0.1, port 55334 - accepted
Feb 16 15:34:57 rctv vdr: [1543] ERROR (svdrp.c,421): Broken pipe

That's really courious, because sometimes, it works (mostly the first tries are ok ... but after a few tries, it stop working ... I also had this "hanging behaviour" while I have stopped playing a stream and press the "Stop stream" button from the following page)

About recordings ... my /video is really big and have old recordings (up to quite 10 years old ;.) mixed up with new ones ... so I will test it with a new recording this evening ....

hmmm

rob...

I've tried to get the encoding with ffmpeg working.

When I change the command like this (512 instead of 512k)

./istream.sh http://127.0.0.1:3000/TS/10 512 64 480x360

then I get playable .ts files in the /ram folder which can be played using vlc.

The picture quality is very very bad, so I think this is realy 512 bit/s. Sound seems to be ok.

My VDR runs on an ASUS M3N-78 EM with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4850e 2x2.50GHz.
Is this CPU to slow for encoding h264 or is there something to change in the ffmpeg command string (istream.sh) for AMD CPUs (to use both cores)?

Thanks for any sugestions.

works perfect
I've tested it with a recording from vdr-1.7.10 and it streamed as expected... very nice
Recordings from older vdr-versions (before switching to ts) doesn't work ... would be great, if there will also be a possibility to stream these recordings too ....

so, now, there is still the problem with the sometimes (better say mostly) "not responding" app...

hi roupi
don't know, what the problem is, but I don't think, that your cpu is too slow...
I use it on an AMD Athlon BE-2350 (2x2.1Ghz) ... and e.g. while streaming in 3g quality, the ffmpeg-process uses about 100% - 110% cpu ... so it uses 1 core completely (and sometimes a little bit more)... on a dualcore 2.1 Ghz ... so your dualcore 2.5Ghz should make the job without any problems ...

Hi somebody101,

sounds good to me because this is my new HW

Maybe I still have a problem with my build of ffmpeg.
I compiled it according to the explanation in this thread and without the option --enable-shared.
Is this option important? I've read somewhere that this is necessary for libx264.
But with --enable-shared, ffmpeg won't work at all.

hi

it is very slow .. version 0.3.2 was faster for channels ...
over wifi local or over 3g .. both are very slow .. i don't know why ..
from clicking on a category till channels appear i takes 1-2 minutes

here my channels conf for debuging...

PS the comma problem: .. now the channel works .. but the comme is still in the name .. i think the rigth handle with this name is cut on comma and use all before

like "RTL Television,RTL" to "RTL Television"
perhaps we should only cut for display it rigth an use it with comma for searching and so on

all other clients do it so .. .. but it is your choise
