ok a so i have been trying various old cvs builds trying to get one to work with the new avbroadcast 0.12 plugin for my theater as described in "dvb - xns - xbox" thread. i had little or no luck. bad playback problems with most builds and crashing in the current cvs due to xns issues.

another feature of avbroadcast plug in is http broadcast. i setup mytheater as described here but instead of xns i enabled http/rstp broadcast.

i created a file called "dvb stream.strm" and opened in notepad pasted "[url]http://192.168.0.100:8000/dvbcore.mpg"[/url] of course replace the ip address with the ip of your computer. save and upload to the xbox audio folder or your audio share(like you would internet streaming files). open the file and it will buffer for a second then start playing.

i still have to change the channel on my computer but otherwise the streaming works great and video looks perfect.

i am working on a python script to change the channels through the http interface avbroadcast uses.

hope this might help out other dvb users who like to keep up to date on the cvs since xns is currently broken.

th3_h0und: as i understand it version 0.11 doesn't support channel changes through xns.

what xbmc build have you successfully working avbroadcast through xns?

if you read my other thread i have a setup working with avbroadcast without using xns so it works in the current cvs builds.

Quote:ver 0.12 may 5, 2004
added channel switch remotely via xns (scribitus)
thats from the 0.12 readme. you can download it at http://www.dvbsoft.net

http://www.your-offers.net/ only has version 0.11

avbroadcast 0.11 and xbmc 2004-03-09
is my setup and i am using xns.

so what do i need to do to get channel changing ?

umm version 0.12 of avbroadcast
in my previous post there is a url for a website that has the version 0.12. go download it. it will show your favorates as you have them setup in mythreater and you can change between them easily.

thanks for the info on the build you are using i'll give xns a try again.

have you tried channel changing via xns ? is there anything that needs to be setup within xbmc ?

i've installed avbroadcaster 0.12. now when i start mytheatre i have avb set to always broadcast. i turn my xbox on and goto xbmc then proceed to my xns share i see some items there ie music (1) tv favs (6) radio (4) etc. so if i go into any of those folders it takes anywhere from 5 - 15 minutes before xbmc does anything then there are some .mpg files with a filesize of 0.1mb. now previous versions of avb that is normal just select it and press (a) and start watching tv. this is not the case it does nothing no matter how long i wait. note during the time it takes to retrieve these files which are only about 6 of them. mytheatre reports that there is a remote channel change, to me that seems fine. my question is this. the items that i first see are not what i have in my favorites. do i need to setup some type of channel list in order for this to work ?

help!
avbroadcaster stream does not work for me
this what i have: xbmc april09/04,
mytheatre 3.08
avb 0.11
the "dvb stream.strm" created on local xbox drive.
i can start mt, select avb and select port:1400, thought can not change multicast address.
if "dvb stream" selected from xbmc menu there are some quick messages displayed and than nothing.
i can say that i can stream using tsreader from same pc.
or use smb to play some video clips.
what am i missing with avb?
thanks


- Strobes - 2004-06-25

ok,
reading on 10 different forums figured out that avb 1.2 works best with http but to support http one must use latest xbmc
streaming works now!:lol:
next chalange is python: it runs on xbox but displays empty screen. i changed list_url= "http://192.168.0.250:8000/xmltv/listing.xml to
my configuration.
is this only one thing to do in the script?

yes, i can see epg and fav on pc running mytheatre.
any ideas?
