HOW-TO stream Live-TV from PC with DVB-S

you might want to remove the imaes (or replace them) where yanske shows ;-)

oh my god, you wrote what i never speak about
i was so carreful with it ! all my screen capture was made on free channel (fashion/arte) except the first one. if it's shocking or dangerous for us, i'll change it as soon as possible (tonight)??

hey is there any way we can use the new builtin vlc udp broadcast/unicast feature of mytheatre 3.2x?

i'm thinking about the same too...

hey guys, there is a thread here that talks bout the mytv plugin. i was thinking (as my post states) that the best way might be to use tsreader to do dvb stuff...

i just installed xbox media center 2005-08-03, from the auto install 2.11 package, and i am using avbroadcaster 0.12 to try and stream video from mytheatre 3.25 to xbmc. i can get everything set up, but when i get to the caching dialogue, xbmc just freezes. i have tried using html, udp ports, but neither seems to work.

any ideas of what i should try?

i can share files from my pc to the xbox ok, so i don't think that i am having network problems. everything is connected through a router, and all systems are on the same subnet.

thanks!

grettings all,

well, after several months of trial and error attempts to put mytheatre+avbroadcast+xbmc combo working i think i finally reach a veredict.

none of the the solutions i found in any forum was 100% operational and because there are still people asking for this, here's the solution i came up.

i used xbmc build from 12-2005 (or after), mytheatre 3.33.xx, avb 0.131 (changed by myself and may be found at
mytheatres.py 1.131) and finally vlc 0.8.2.


activate avb in mytheatre and choose the options marked in the following picture:



edit mytheatres.py with notepad and change url and urlview variables to reflect the ip of your pc running mytheatre. the port number (8000) in 2 (green numbers) should be the same in the the url variable in mytheatres.py. the urlview port (7000) will be used soon. put it in the xbmc scripts directory.

Quote:############################################################
#change your default preferences here
#set the ip and port for the computer running mytheatre here
url = 'http://192.168.1.2:8000'
urlview = 'http://192.168.1.2:7000/'
default_file = '/list.htm'
default_sort = 'by chan' # 'by chan' 'by prog'
default_tvradiomode = 'tv and radio' # 'tv and radio' 'tv only' 'radio only'
default_encryptmode = 'fta + enc' # 'fta + enc' 'fta only
default_channel_change_delay = 0 # 5 seconds works reliably for me, but it varies
############################################################

now execute vlc and open a network stream and set udp/rtp with same port number of number 1 in the picture (5000), mark output stream and caching with 4096. now press configurations and mark http with same address of the machine you're running vlc and use same port number as urlview of mytheatres.py (7000).

press ok twice and run mytheatres.py in your xbox.

btw, you can get avb at http://www.seanster.com/avb/

hope this help.

exp - i like it. runs stable as long as no one changes the channel from mt. i've been pouring through the vlc docs looking for a command line or config syntax to start vlc each time with the settings you outlined. have you discovered a way to do this?

sam2000, that's right you can't change the channel from mt, but anyway, what's the point doing that

about the command line for vlc it is quite simple:

Quote:vlc.exe udp://@:5000 :udp-caching=4096 :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,url=192.168.1.2:7000}}

you just have to adjust the ip and port numbers.

the easiest way to achieve this is to create a shortcut for vlc and adjust the target in the properties windows.

exp

heh! perhaps you live alone?  :lol:

thanks for the command line parameters.  i actually tried that command line (with my particulars) but when i checked the gui & saw it wasn't populated as expected, i thought it failed.  obviously i should have tested it instead of assumming the gui would show it's present running state.

can you suggest a way to setup xbmc to run the mytheatres.py script by default on load?

thx,
sam
