Plugin stream2db

[PCD]

What is the Stream output Destination Target line are you using in vlc player ?

There are some examples in the Readme file.

 

[cmral]

vlc video1.mpeg --extraintf=http --http-host :8080 --sout '#duplicate{ dst=std{access=http,mux=ps,ttl=6,url=:9090/dboxstream}}' --sout-keep

video1.mpeg is an MPEG2 PS File including Video and Audio

I have tried mux=ps and mux=ts

I have also tried with transcoding as you had written in the Readme, but it has the same result.

Because it is an MPEG2 Video I think I do not need to transcode it, isnt it?

It is on the same network, so ttl 6 should be fine...

It should work with the newer images also.

Please check that you have libcurl.so.2 in /usr/lib. Also use the plugin for dm500 I posted in this thread (look down):-

http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/b...ad&postID=14254&highlight=stream2db#post14254

Where are you putting the .so, .cfg and .xml files ? Is the .so attribute 755 ?

When you start streaming from vlc - do you see the vlc slider moving right ?

I checked a mpeg2 file with this line :-

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,url=:9090/dboxstream}}

I did it as described in the readme - not from commandline.

Yes I had installt the curl.so.2

When I use the boxmanimage from 21.01.2009 I get an error message unresolved Symbol _ZN7Decoder5FlushEv

I had tried also the dm500 Image same result, I got also this message if I try to install the vlcf plugin, so I thing it is a general problem.

I have installed the the movieplayer.so and movieplayer.cfg to /var/tuxbox/plugins
and the movieplayer.xml to /var/tuxbox/config

Yes the slider moved to right.

I don't kown, how it should work, but I think I should see with tcpdump a request on the webif port and a reqeust to the streaming port from dreambox to the PC, but i see nothing!

I have only tested with my own images. When I have time I will sort out the problems - perhaps improve the plugin generally.

For now you can try this image ( I know that Stream2db has been tested ok for this image):-

Ok I had tried this image, but I had no luck ;-( It looks like the stream2db plugin is complied in?
I have not found the movieplayer.so, but there is a menupoint stream2db. If I select it, I will get the normal movieplayer interface?!?

I have tried an other boxman image which is build also 2008.

This works fine ;-)!

So streaming works now!

Thank for your help!

If you improve the plugin, is it possible to disable the Buffering and steram error window?

Many thanks

Some new problems again...
After update I have notice, that dbstream will not work with VLC version 1.0 ( I have also found some posts that also version 0.9 make trouble )

A far as I have seen by watching TCP Traffic, it looks like vlc 1.0 only use HTTP 1.1 requests, but dbstream will send an HTTP 1.0 Header.

Is there a possibility to fix this problem?

Thanks

It was developed (many years ago !) with vlc 0.8.6.

If there is a demand I can update it for vlc 1.0 - but it is quite easy for you to install/uninstall 0.8.6 - takes about 3 minutes each way !

Anyway - why not try an Enigma 2 image (DF-II.v11.1) - has much better streaming plugins ?

Cheers, pcd.

It is not so simple as it looks like ;-)

I have tried OpenSuse 11.1. x86_64
Only Version you will find is vlc 1.0 for this system

I have get the source of vlc 0.8 from net and try to compile it for SuSE, but I ran in may problems to find a Version of ffmpeg which will fit to the vlc so it is not so easy to get it work out of the Box.

Now I have installed Debian Lenny wich had vlc 0.8 included but for patent reasons the have removed the MPEG Encoder from ffmpeg :-(
Will work for me now so I used it now..

But I think for the next Debian Version vlc 1.0 is in the respondery.

So it would very nice to have an version which will work after the next Linux update ;-)


Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I wrongly assumed you were using vlc for Windows.

I will convert Stream2db for vlc 1.0 soon and post it here.

Hi cmral,

I have now updated Stream2db to work with vlc 1.0. Details here :-
