The bad news is trascoding is not working for me. I always get "One or more items failed to play, Check the log for advise". I see nothing in the LOG-remoteVLC.txt about it. And it doesn't look like there's ever any transcoding activity starting on the computer (no CPU used)

Can you try this url: http:// localhost:8555/play?tuner= <tuner number> &channel= <channel number> &transcode=1000

I get the following when I try that URL:
{"channel":"503","msg":"Playing channel: 503","status":"error"}
FYI.. my URL was:
http://localhost:8555/play?tuner=4&channel=503&transcode=1000

Did the console output anything about transcoding?
EDIT: I reorganized some parts of the program, so the status is not showing up properly.
Update to v1.6.1

Hmm.... even if I just do...
http://localhost:8555/play?tuner=4&channel=3
I get the following in the browser:
{"channel":"3","msg":"Playing channel: 3","status":"error"}
And in the console window says something like channel did not change. Thoughts? I'm using the latest 1.6.0 version.

The channel is already at 3, so it did not change.
Edit: Give me like 5 minutes. I'll put up a version with more output, so we can test.

FYI... I rebooted my PC and tried again. When I use the URL with &transcode=1000, I get the same message in the browser but I get the following in the output window:

Looks like its working... not sure why it wasnt before.
The status is incorrect since I messed up when I rewrote that part.
I put a new version v1.6.1 with the fix.
Can you try it with XBMC now?

I just tried 1.6.1. When I try in XBMC with transcoding on, I do not see anything in the output window about transcoding and I get the same XBMC error as before.
In 1.6.1, if I try the URL: http://localhost:8555/play?tuner=4&channel=503&transcode=1000
I see in the browser: {"channel":"503","msg":"Playing channel: 503","status":"success"}
And in the output window
Tuner[4]: Changing channel number to 503
Tuner[4]: Program number is 1143
Tuner[4]: Channel name is KYW-HD
VLC[4]: Setting stream program id using remoteVLC
VLC[4]: Starting VLC transcode stream at 1000kbps
VLC[4]: Streaming to http://localhost:8563
Scheduler: Checking for tasks to run
Any reason why it's still throwing an error in XBMC?
PS... when I use direct stream in XBMC it works great.

It is transcoding:
Quote:VLC[4]: Starting VLC transcode stream at 1000kbpsCan you check the cpu usage?
Try these steps:
Run: http://localhost:8555/play?tuner=4&channel=503&transcode=1000
In VLC try playing this stream: http://localhost:8563
Does that work?
Is there any firewall settings you have to set up?
Transcoding uses ports 8559-8563, one port for each tuner.

Yes that works! Still doesn't work in XBMC though...

Ok, so it looks like its something wrong with the XBMC plugin.
Thanks for the help in narrowing that down!
I'm going to take a look at the code. I'll keep you posted.
EDIT: When XBMC runs does it show up does the console window output this line?
