Ok Ill write something up quick to deinterlace for direct stream only.

Just use that one. I'll put it in soon... just putting some last touches on the pvr build

ok updated my post about the webgui here with links to 2 versions of index.html. version 2.6 uses the old way of looking in /m/resources/logos/<channelnumber> for the logo. version 2.7 will use the api call when you complete it. Let me know if there are any issues!

I'll upload the pvr build tomorrow... Didnt finish transcoding settings yet... Direct streaming is done though

Uploading v1.9.8 for logos fixes...

I made a small change to 2.7. The channel logo should be the source. But that breaks the name, so I added a onerror for the img to change the image to the channel name.


I can add logos to xbmc pvr now

Code:

currenttable=currenttable+"<a href='/play?channel="+String(chl)+"&tuner=4&redirect=true' id='chan"+String(i)+"' title='"+String((channelmap[1] [i-1]))+"' onClick='changeSrc("+i+"); return false'><b>"+String(chl)+"<br></b><div class='divchllogo'><img onerror='this.parentNode.innerHTML=\""+String((channelmap[1] [i-1]))+"\"' src='/getChannelLogo?channel="+String(chl)+"' class='chllogo' border=0px /></div></a></td>";

I see there, seems like you can serve images using either method (atleast thats what a website I found stated) but I like your method better, it only uses one line of code lol. ok I just update the webgui again to fix a couple minor things but mostly to have it display the program info when you hover the mouse over the show. Let me know if there are any other issues (seems like the gui loads real slow in firefox, might have to look into that, and it appears that the vlc plugin doesnt support any type of encryption so ill have to find a way around that..)

ITS REALLY AWSOME ! BUT I CAN NOT SET UP, I INSTALLED XBMC ON MY MAC, BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO SET UP CETON TV, PLEASE SOMEONE COULD HELP ME. THANKS EVERYONE!

Do you own a windows computer? This program requires a PC running whenever you want to watch tv.

havent worked on pvr today...

@Rotceh07: CetonTV only runs on a windows computer for now... It basically sets up streams that can be used on other devices

ok i had one PC , i will try to install this , but this do not work with mac??

you can install the program on the pc and watch tv on mac

Does this stream in HD? I havd Cablevision boost(getting aroing 55 meg down and 8 meg up). I want to stream to other XBMC devices that I have set up at a vacation house(ISP is 5 down and 1-2 up). Will this be possible?Just wanted to make sure before I buy it. Thanks in advice and thanks for the plugin!

OK, I'm back from a trip overseas and I managed to do some testing (I think it was 1.9.5 when I left). 4000 miles away from home, I have to say RemoteCeton beats conventional place-shifting devices BY FAR. It's stable, and the stream quality is outstanding. On top of that, I measured bandwidth and RemoteCeton can give you a great-looking 576 or 720 stream using only 1 GB per hour, at a rate easily sustainable by most upload/download speeds on common Internet providers. It looks really good even on a big screen tv, which is great given the fact that you can use a small laptop with Serviio to connect to RemoteCeton and direct-stream to the TV using DLNA.

Now, I'm really looking forward to testing DirectStream on the iPad 3. I assume it might be choppy, as Ceton provides MPEG2 streams that the iPad can not decode natively, but who knows...
