Re: [vdr] VDR 1.7.x, FUPPES and an xbox 360 client

2010-03-25 Thread Denis Loh

Hi martinez,

actually, this feature is about to come. Essentially, it was planned to 
map channels from different sources - i.e. cable, sat or terrestrial - 
to a single item. This cannot be done automatically or if so, only by 
reading the channel names.


Because DLNA requires media servers to support at least MPEG-TS and 
MPEG-PS, minidlna should support TS-streaming. Was it working with 
LiveTV and  the plugin on your XBox? This would be good to know for me.


Cheers,

Denis

Perhaps it would be simpler (and achieve the same end) if you 
implement a feature the plugin can read
an alternative to channels.conf . This way in my case for example I 
would copy and paste a few essential channels and let the plugin load 
them but
no way I can let it loose on a channels.conf with more than 1000 
entries...


About vdr recordings... 


FUPPES chokes on my vdr folder, so does not seem to be .TS friendly

Anybody knows if minidlna supports streaming .TS files ?

I guess I will find out in a few hours anyways...

I feel sorry, that you were facing so many problems with the plugin.
Actually, it is still very bugous and will take some time to fix them. If
you are a programmer, feel free to help me improving it.

I will consider your idea to include a discard-all-but channel listing
feature. Recordings (except H.264) are supported yet in version 
0.0.2-alpha.


Back to FUPPES: I haven't ever used FUPPES, so I just can say that this
should work. But I am not sure. Try it and you will "see".

the plugin, but this could take for ages


I tried the vdr-upnp plugin yesterday and it actually takes ages. With 
~5000 channels (mostly junk but I never have time to clean them) it 
takes ~20 minutes at each startup.
Even with a reduced channels.conf (100 channels) it takes too long for 
vdr to actually produce an image.

Re: [vdr] VDR 1.7.x, FUPPES and an xbox 360 client

2010-03-24 Thread Denis Loh

I hardly believe that XBox 360 understand anything else than their own  microsoft specific profiles.  Most DLNA servers which are XBox compliant (not vice versa as it's a  microsoft product) transcode their contents to deliver it to the XBox. Try it with another MPEG-TS in Fuppes. If it works, it will  probably work with VDR files and the UPnP-Plugin as well.  However, as far as I know, XBox only supports WMA, WMV-9, maybe WMV-10  (a.k.a VC-1), in your case DivX, and MP4, but no MPEG-TS. I found some information on the fuppes wiki: http://bit.ly/dmWyYQ  You may transcode them to H.264 m...@3.1, which should run almost in  realtime without major loss of quality. Transcoding always consumes lot of CPU power, so another solution might be better - another  firmware or device?!  Cheers,  Denis  Theunis Potgieter schrieb:
