Re: [mythtv-users] Mythstream Tips Tricks
I tried to install Mythstream a few weekends ago and it refused to show up in Mythtv. I followed all the instructions and kept thinking it was a plugin issue. It wasn't. My Myththemes was messed up. I cleaned and re-installed Myththemes, made the required additions to lirary.xml and media_settings.xml and it works perfectly now. Tips for getting streams. there are 2 websites I found which contain lots of international tv and radio streams. The first one http://www.vtuner.com has literally 1000's of streams. Use this link for basic instructions http://66.102.7.104/search? q=cache:Mp65gFdh6MAJ:mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php%3Fp% 3D20239%26+mythstreamhl=enstart=8lr=lang_en The original post on mysettopbox.tv seems to be missing. The 2nd big site is wwitv.com. It has TV sites from around the world. The trick here is-click on a linka small popup window will open, it is an .asx file with redirect info in it. Write the name in the title bar down. Run wget http://wwitv.com/_tv/.asx That will download the file to your Mythbox. Run vi .asx and the 'real' stream info is there. add it to streams.res in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/mythstream and you're done. This thing is GREAT! I've been listening to Rockland Radio for 3 days straight. Does anyone know whether it's possible to put the ABC Australia broadband streams into mythstream. They have a page at http://www.abc.net.au/broadband/default.htm which has on demand news, sport and business, but I can't work out how to determine what URL to put into streams.res. If anyone has already done this or knows how to, could you please share it? Also, the instructions at the link given above talk abuot using real player and ethereal. Does this assume that real and ethereal are on the same box? I have real on a windows PC and could put ethereal on my linux internet gateway - would that allow me to find the real rtsp:// URLs for real content?

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythstream Tips Tricks
I'll try these things. In the meantime I tried the mplayer command and got an error: $ mplayer http://64.236.34.97:80/stream/1040 mplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/X11R6/lib/nvidia-graphics-1.0-7664/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv0019XvMCdynamic Could this be why I can't get any streams to work? Everything else seems to be working just fine and this is the 1st time I've seen any mplayer errors. That would definitely cause problems. MythStream simply passes the URL off to MPlayer and MPlayer does the work. MythStream is an interface for managing stream lists. So, once you fix MPlayer, it should work. There were 2 different solutions to this problem which both resulted in the mplayer error going away: 1) Go back from nvidia driver 7664 to 7174, or 2) Stick with nvidia 7174 and upgrade mplayer to mplayer-1.0-45_pre7.rhfc3.at (which I did using apt-get upgrade). I'm getting some of the radio stations working now. Thanks, Phill ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Mythstream Tips Tricks
Unfortunately, though, the URL you chose isn't broadcasting. This happens sometimes--it seems some 'net radio stations don't like users accessing their streams without using Microsoft Windows/Internet Explorer/Windows Media Player (so they can force the user to download ads), so they seem to switch up URL's/ports and it takes a while for whomever posts the info to SHOUTcast to figure it out... Note, also, if you chose a low-bitrate stream, since MPlayer has a large cache (8MB by default), it may take a while for the stream to start playing (up to a minute). If this is the case, MythStream won't tell you that there's no stream--it will just sit there for a while saying buffering. So, best bet is to try again and choose a different station/different URL for the same station. BTW, to verify that the station isn't broadcasting, you can use MPlayer and/or xmms (with xmms, I think you have to use the GUI to select Play Location): mplayer http://64.236.34.97:80/stream/1040 I'll try these things.

Sorry. Mine is in the database (and I only really have one station in there, so it's not a very good example). However, the default streams.res is at (assuming you installed in /usr/local): /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythstream/streams.res I'm finding it a bit of a nightmare trying to get some working streams. I highly recommend just putting a direct link in there. It seems that MythStream has some problems recognizing the handlers (i.e. icecast.pl, shoutcast.pl, etc.). I have MythStream and StreamTuned installed, and when I run StreamTuned attached to my database storage, it uses the handler without any problems. When I run MythStream attached to the exact same database storage, it doesn't run the handler, but uses a generic HTML handler and just spits out every single link in the page (so I have to skip over 20 or so links to find the one I need). For example, I recommend going to SHOUTcast and finding a radio station you'd be interested in hearing. Then, right-click on the Tune In button and copy the link location. Paste that URL (the one ending with playlist.pls) as the URL for your stream. HTH. Mike ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythstream Tips Tricks
Not as is. It needs integrated into mythmusic. The user shouldn't have to care where the music's coming from, so having multiple interfaces (one for streams, one for files) to get to it doesn't work. Isaac ___ My mythbox has a button to watch live tv and a button to watch recorded tv. What is the difference between that and having a button for mythstream (live music) and a button for music (recorded music)? Also, mytstream has the capability to play video streams as well, which have no place in mythmusic. My 2 cents. -- http://www.umich2.com ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I dont think that Real Support is built into the package. Try downloading and compiling with Real Support built it. Make sure to read the docs on the mplayer site and it will be very easy. Make sure you have all the codecs downloaded and installed before you run config so it will find them all. There is a flag to compile in real libs.

You can checkout theknoppmyth wiki site for a nice walkthrough. I think I spent a lot of time looking into this on my laptop. There is a config file that maps audio types to the appropriate library. If you are on an x86 and it's looking for a Mac cook dll, then the config file may be messed up. You may need to grep on the offending file to track this down, but it is solvable. It may have already been fixed in a later build of mplayer. You will then need to build mplayer. This is pretty easy, as usual. Apologies, but I don't have my laptop with me, but I think the above should give some clues.
