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

Hi again,

hmm I am sorry to hear that. By the way which linux distribution are you using ?

Hi

im Using Debian.

Best regards

Hi,

GTRDRIVER

I have the same problem. Any solutions?

Hi

Best Regards

GTR

i have had a brutal time of getting this to compile.

but i finally managed to get it to work.

here is what worked for me :

compile a fresh svn of ffmpeg
the compile options i used were :

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-x11grab

the segmenter Makefile i compile line :

gcc -Wall -g segmenter.c -o segmenter -lavformat -lavcodec -lavutil -lbz2 -lm -lz -lfaac -lmp3lame -lx264 -lfaad -lfaad -lpthread

Hi

with the latest SVN Version i get:

Unknown option "--enable-libfaad".
See ./configure --help for available options.

best regards

PS: lbfaad ist installed

Hi,
Just remove "libfaad" from the list of options, apparently it's not used anymore.

once again: thank you for this 'app'
yesterday i´ve got my ipad. it´s working really well:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg7YeZyi9b0
(sorry for quality)

it is possible to seek into recordings forward/backward?
and if i abort the playback will the position stored for resume?

Hi there,

since "Apple TV" is also based on iOS, I wonder if it might be possible to run iStreamdev even with this tiny black device?

Cheers

First: Thanks so much!!! It's working Perfect on my Debian Squeeze + VDR 1.7.14

Here is an HowTo für Debian Sqeeze (In German)

Vorrausetzung: Debian squeeze mit VDR+streamdev-plugin + build umgebung

Multimedia Repository in /etc/apt/sources.list:

# Debian Multimedia Repository
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main
deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main

Step 1: HTTP Server mit php5 installieren:

apt-get install php5-cgi lightttpd
nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

(Die Portnummer kann ohne Probleme angepasst werden bei Bedarf)

"mod_fastcgi",
"mod_rewrite",
"mod_auth"

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((
"bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
"socket" => "/tmp/php.socket"
)))

/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

Step 2: x264 bauen

apt-get install yasm
cd /usr/src
git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
cd x264/
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

Step 3: lame bauen

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.n…3.98.4/lame-3.98.4.tar.gz
tar xzvf lame-3.98.4.tar.gz
cd lame-3.98.4
./configure --disable-shared
make
make install
cd ..

Step 4: ffmpeg bauen

apt-get install libfaac-dev libfaad-dev
git clone git://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaac
make
make install
cp ffmpeg /usr/bin/

Step 5: iStreamdev ins HTTP-Root installieren und bei Bedarf über die config.php konfigurieren (Sollte aus der Tüte laufen, es sei denn vdr-plugin-streamdev läuft auf anderen Ports)

cd /var/www
git clone git://projects.vdr-developer.org/istreamdev.git
ln -s /var/ramdisk/ ram (Oder wo auch immer man eine Ramdisk hat - 30MB sollten reichen)
cp config_default.php config.php (Passwort/username dort drin merken oder ändern)
chown www:data:www-data *-R
chmod +x *.php bin/*

cd /var/www/istreamdev/segmenter/
make
cp segmenter /usr/bin/

Fertig! Über http://<vdr ip>/istreamdev sollte es im Safari laufen. Ich habe lighttpd auf Port 12345 gestartet, nur diesen Port in der Fritz! Box weiter geleitet und mir die URL http://user:passwort@beimirzuh…ndns.org:12345/istreamdev auf dem iPhone Homescreen abgelegt. Nun hab ich Sky Überall dabei

Hast Du Erfahrungswerte im Vergleich von Apache und LightHTTPd? Ist LightHTTPd fixer, weil er schlanker ist?

Kann ich nicht vergleichen, ich habe gleich auf lighttpd gesetzt da der simpler zu konfigurieren ist

Ich denke aber der größte Performanceunterschied wird durch 2 Sachen geprägt:

- Wurde ffmpeg mit allen CPU-Optimierungen compiliert
- Liegt der ram Ordner in einer Ramdisk.

Ok, da geb ich Dir recht.

- Das mit dem RAM Ordner finde ich nicht so tragisch. Wenn's einmal läuft, läuft's gut!

- Das mit den Optimierungen kann ich nicht sagen. Ich habe mich an die diversen Beschreibungen gehalten und es, so wie es jondalar in dem Thread im yaVDR Unterforum beschrieben hat, separat kompiliert. Allerdings in einer VM, da ich auf meinem produktiven keinen unnötigen Paket-Balast haben wollte, den ich nicht brauche. Evtl. sollte ich da nochmal drüber nachdenken...

Danke für die Hinweise!

I have a change request for svdrp.php. In some conditions, the Command function seems to fail. In my case the fgets function did not notice eol and eof and so the whole SVDRP message was read over and over again.

Here's my modification, according to the fact that the length parameter in the fgets function is optional and if you omit it, fgets will automatically determine the line size and read until eol.

Old:

function Command($cmd)
	{


		...
		while($s .= fgets($this->handle,2048))
		{
			$nline++;


			$this->DebugMessage($s);
			...

New:

function Command($cmd)
	{


		...
		while(!feof($this->handle))
		{
			$s .= fgets($this->handle);
			$nline++;

			$this->DebugMessage($s);
			...

Would be nice, if you would check it into the git repo. Thanks!

Greetz,
Holger

EDIT: Also filed an official bug request.

Hi there,

sorry for my silly question, if already answered

After my CPU performance is limited, I wonder if there is any possibility to terminate previous streaming sessions, when the $maxencodingprocesses are reached?

WoZ

Hi WoZ,

you have two possibilities:

1.) on the same page from where you started the stream (edge/3g/wifi buttons) you can stop it; the buttons change on that page while a stream is running

2.) go to the <Home> page; on top of the page there should be a list of running sessions -> select one and stop it

Hope that helps...

Hi Holger,

thank you for your reply.

Yes it is quite clear, that it is possible to terminate one or all sessions with the GUI itself. My question, however, is if there is a possibility to terminate the oldest session automatically.

Cheers
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang!

Ah, I understand. No, there's no automatic way of terminating the oldest session. But I think, it shouldn't be too problematic to implement such a function. Have a look at session.php, function sessioncreate. Should be the right place to start

HEY!

I just noticed that there's some work going on in the git repo. alib's back, juhuu :)!! My change request was checked in days ago and he made some modifications regarding ipad support. Perhaps development is starting again
