Live Stream doesnt show in Serviio Hi guys, Ive set-up a live stream from my Desktop using VLC. The server can read and if required transcode several media types for playback. In addition, users can use the server to watch online content including live TV or RSS feeds. The Pro license permits users to stream to third party applications for Android and Windows devices at home or on another network. Another paid feature is "media browser" that allows users to stream content to a web browser (desktop or mobile) at home or on the go. This license also enables dynamic transcoding to convert higher bit rate video or audio files into lower bit rate formats to permit viewing on slower broadband connections. Serviio also has a "Pro" license for $25 that will allow users to access their libraries outside the home. Since it is DLNA compliant, it will stream supported devices on the same network. and I am no Windows developer either.The free version of Serviio will stream media within a home network to connected TVs, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, the Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360. I've been looking into implementing DLNA support with FUSE and MythTV on Linux a couple of years ago, but I ended up in sticking with Mediaportal and Windows clients anyway due to the poor support for TV-cards on Linux. Still (as mentioned previously in the thread) fast forwarding is probably the biggest issue with both alternatives, but with our own filesystem (from DLNA or in Dokan) we can present the newest data we have independent of where we are in the file (perhaps with a small delay). For the DLNA server there are many to choose from. Using the XBMC-plugin as a wrapper for such a solution would probably give a head start with all the needed APIs to MP. Dokan, which is a Windows user mode file system that also has a FUSE APIfor it (Fuse4Win).Īnother solution is to actually alter a DLNA server to understan Mediaportal TV-server files and data (maybe easier) and fake the file-sizes (and other needed information). Under Linux I would do that with the FUSE-filesystem (userspace filesystem), where I can easily make a filesystem that presents whatever I need to show. Making live TV work with DLNA is not that hard - really. It gives no options to select channels and when I open the stream, it starts from where the server was turned on, but it can be fast forwarded so that it's live. I imagine that this TV has the slowest processor of all our TV's, so I'll test it again tomorrow on the more powerful TV's upstairs. I've only tested it on one TV (people are sleeping in the rooms with the other TV's!) but the TV I have tested appeared to have no deinterlacing and also the picture was breaking up. I can then selected the stream on my TV's DLNA page. I installed Servio (free) and simply entered the Mediaportal Stream url into the Library>Online section in the Servio console settings. I will also test out Servio and TVersity.ĮDIT: I got this to kind of work pretty easily but it's not perfect. Thats using Nero MediaHome and an Xbox, but it shows that it's possible. I'm going to experiment with few things tomorrow - I saw this interesting page, which shows each channel on a TV tuner as a DLNA file which would be awesome: This would mean there would be no need for several rather expensive clients. So is anyone doing this yet? It would be a great feature as I suspect that a good proportion of TV's which are sold nowadays have DLNA functionality - all the TV's in my home have it. The other possibility is recording a program and then using something like Serviio to DLNA the recorded file to the TV, but I'm not sure if this is only possible once the recording is finished, which obviously would be useless for watching live TV.Īny help or advice would be very gratefully received! I found this, which uses VLC and TVersity, which looks like it might do what I want, but looks like it goes through more programs than might be really necessary: I've thought of a couple of solutions and done a little research, but I thought I'd ask here, before I spend a lot of time on what might be a dead end. I want to be able to watch a single channel through DLNA on my TV without using any other devices. I occasionally get around this by using a Laptop connected to the TV, but I wondered if there was a way around this using DLNA. Hi, I'm a very happy user of mediaportal and I currently use it to serve TV around the home to various PC's and Laptops.
