You'll find this is a modif of prior artwork
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161461
You'll find the readme valuable
in local_conf.py
plugin.activate('video.vlc')
VLC_NICE = -30
VLC_CMD = CONF.vlc
in etc/freevo/freevo.conf add
vlc = /usr/bin/vlc
The FXD file
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<freevo>
<container title="Internet TV" type="news">
<movie title="Stream TV">
<video>
<url id="p1">
udp:@:1234
<player>vlc</player>
</url>
</video>
<info>
<description>Displays the playing stream.</description>
</info>
</movie>
</container>
</freevo>
and in local_conf.py you need also to define the fxd file like this
VIDEO_ITEMS = [ ('action movies', '/media/cdrom'), ('webtv',
'/mylocation/webtv.fxd' ) ]
Basicly it wil start vlc fullscreen listening for udp streams on port 1234
On the server I launch a command to stream from my ivtv card
vlc -I dummy --daemon
pvr:/dev/video1:norm=pal:size=720x576:frequency=210250:bitrate=3000000:maxbitrate=4000000 --cr-average 1000 --sout udp:192.168.1.33 --ttl
12
This all works in scripting for know
Geert
Quoting Jim Duda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Geert,
I too use VLC for streaming, however, I don't do this within freevo, I
do it outside of freevo, manually, using the telnet interface to VLC
running on the server.
my vlc startup script (/etc/init.d/rc.d/vlc) contains:
/usr/bin/vlc --intf telnet --cr-average 1000 --vlm-conf
/usr/local/etc/videolan/vlc/vlc.cfg --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:554 &
my vlc.cfg contains:
new livetv broadcast enabled
setup livetv input pvr:/dev/pvr350 --cr-average 1000
setup livetv output #standard{mux=ts,access=udp,url="224.0.0.1"}
control livetv stop
I then telnet to port 4212 of the server, login, and execute livetv start.
I would love to do this within freevo, via a plugin or similar.
Could you share your FXD file such that I can see what you are doing?
Thanks,
Jim

Folks I need some advice,
First I explain what I've got
- a freevo recording server running on CC 4.0 (no gui) works perfect.
This machine is also my home internet server (combining best of both
worlds) On this machine I have vlc installed and I'm alrady capable of
starting a live stream or a recorded stream from my PVR 500 in the CC
box. The client interface I have for the moment is a php webinterface
(mozilla only) which works in linux and windows. It's client independend.
Now I wanna implement live tv stream in a freevo client without TV card.
(Everything streamed from my CC server)
I'v created a fxd file capable of launching vlc on the client box in
stream listening mode, and streamed content gets actualy played.
(I'm using a modified vlc.py I grabbed from freevofreebox1.0.tgz)
Now I need to find a way to start up vlc with the desired parameters on
the server.
rsh comes to my mind to do this from the command line.
Is there any possibility to execute multiple commands from a fxd file?
like starting the stream remotly and then start vlc localy to listen.
Other aproaches?
Geert
