Also installed visual studio so it may have been a combination of a couple things.

I actually don't have visual studio, so I'm guessing it was the firmware.

The channel map files are identical between the 2 different firmwares, so I wonder what was causing it.

Anyhow much appreciated for the assistance!

So did you find a way to allow selection of favorite channels?
How's everything coming up?

Gonna start again right now Smile

Removed input channel tab. Replaced with search button

Todo:
- Finish Favorites

Requoting this to remind me:
uspino Wrote:A few things/ideas:

- A lot of (small) .ts files remain in the webfiles folder. Should there be a clean up line in the code?

- It would be good to be able to select the temp folder for the transcoding files.

- Are you thinking about a different interface for iPhone/iPad (on iPad looks extremely small)

- Is there a way to start a video stream on an iOS device from a shortcut containing channel & transcode settings, the same way you can do it on VLC? That would be fantastic: you could create a shortcut to, say, ESPN, and just start streaming, or we could create a folder with shortcuts to favourite channels (and there are free apps on the store to assign a logo to each shortcut)



Current Bitrates:
"720":["1250","1500","1750"],
"576":["1000","1200","1400"],
"480":["800","1000","1200"],
"320":["500","600","800"],
"240":["300","400","500"]

Smart!

Love the colors, by the way.

How about (don't kill me) a few lines in the code to let the user to put channel logos in a folder to be rendered next to the channel name. This is how Hauppauge does it: it looks for small "jpg", "gig" or "png" files in a folder named "logos", and they have to have exactly the same name as the channel name. If it finds a logo ("CNNHD.png"), it shows it... It's a trade-off for the end user: you want channel icons? .... go find them, rename them, and put them in this folder. You can do it only for favorites so they stand out... I think that would be really cool.

Edit:

You should definitely allow higher bitrates in 720. First: iPad. Second: Don't think about the iPhone, think about the iPhone gloriously sending the video to an AppleTV...

I might add it. Going to start working on the remoteceton issues first though once I get back...

EDIT: Going to upload a new version with everything but favorites...
EDIT2: v1.7.1 is out with iPhone interface.

NOTE: if you downloaded the previous test version, go to Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data or manually delete the local storage with Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Delete website data for you ip address

TODO: favorites, clean up ts files, temp folder, reload channels, cache.

Server error connecting to ceton device - kwasiblind - 2012-02-25 10:01

Hey guys, excited to finally see all of this. Have been hoping for integration to XBMC since I got my Ceton InfiniTV 4 device.

I get the following error when I run the remoteCeton.exe

Server: Error connecting to Ceton device...
Press Enter to continue...

I have the USB interface InfiniTV 4
I've shut my firewalls completely off
Disabled any antivirus
Tried running as administrator
Reset my card to factory settings (thought the network MCE settings might be getting in the way,,, but no.)
Ceton infiniTV diagnostic tool sees my card as it should
Restarted plenty of times

What am I missing?

Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit

Thanks in advance

Somebody solved a similar problem by updating to the latest firmware. Did you check...?

Also check you network and make sure you Ceton IP is correct in "settings.conf". Otherwise, change it:
PHP Code:
#IP address of ceton tuner
CETON_IP=192.168.200.1

Great, great job.

A couple of things. In the sake of coach-potatoeness and minimum effort, the keyboard should automatically come up when the search box shows up. The way it is now, you have to click on the magnifying glass, then click in the tiny text line inside the box and then the keyboard comes up.

One othe issue that might help you. When I try in the iPad, the video dos not start in the regular Quicktime video window. It shows the carrier/time/battery bar on the top side, and there's no "Done" botton on the upper left corner. You have to click on the two arrows on the low right corner, and that is what opens the quicktime player controls.

And one more thing. I just figured out that the iPad can easily play the direct stream from the SD channels, and it looks great, perfectly fitted to the iPad screen (Goodplayer even shows the Closed Captions if you want!), so it would be great to have that option (iPad 3 will also play HD channels with no compression). That is actually what SiliconDust's own iOS App does: direct stream of SD channels. (But that's all it does Laugh)

Counting the minutes Ceton is going to take to give you a call and offer you a few thousand dollars for remoteCeton.... Big Grin

Not sure. Try running the Ceton Network Setup
http://www.cetoncorp.com/documents/InfiniTV_4_Network_Tuners_Setup_Guide.pdf
Maybe it's required.


EDIT: Have to fix some issues with the web app...
Updating sencha touch library from 1.1 to version 2
^Fixes annoying search box issue...
