I started 3 streams and the 4th one fails, which should start on the Ceton. Nothing else had those tuners tied up. According to the status page.

Still looking into this. I havent gotten the chance to install my ceton yet.

Fixing this right now Smile

EDIT: can you try this? http://www.mediafire.com/?m2y1eleo07iie7m

Also, are you the same siak on tvpad? I'll probably need to modify the server a bit to handle user auth, since the tvpad cant pass that in.
I had a script that generated the channel file, but I lost it. I'll rewrite it sometime this week I guess.



Just finished up websocket support for the web server.
Todo: Write some apis for browser/mobile remote

Yea - same siak from tvpad. If you could generate the links/channels.txt, that would be great. I wouldn't need to use XBMC. Instead of using user/pass for auth, maybe use an API key? Something like: http://localhost:8888/play?channel=50&bi...EY=API_KEY

Almost there, with XBMC 12.2, when I change channels, I get "server unavailable" instead of tuner unavailable, then XBMC crashes. With XBMC 13 (nightly 08052013) channel changing seem to work but there are errors.

First of all with the 0.6.0 version when you add a Ceton4 the IP address is fixed to 192.168.200.2 no matter what I type in the address box field. I click save settings and my IP is there but after restarting the server it defaults back to 192.168.200.2. I fixed that by rolling back to version 0.5.10.
Did you hit save in both the edit device window and in the main status window (next to restart and shutdown)? I tried just now on my setup and I am able to change the IP address.

Quote:Now my other issue which I have not fixed is with VLC. When I try to play a stream I get and error in the log:
Code:
VLC: Failed to send command to vlc

Is there another step to setup besides copying the libstream_out_transcode_plugin.dll to the plugin folder? I was on VLC 2.02 and upgraded to 2.08, both have the same result. I see vlc starting in task manager.

I had this problem when I was first setting things up and I can't remember what fixed it (this was back at version 5.0.7 or something). Things I remember trying are:
1) Restarting the computer, reinstalling server and VLC. I seem to remember this didn't change anything.
2) Check that the VLC path shown in the status page is correct.
3) Make sure you aren't using the streaming port for anything else (I think default is 8888 and perhaps it uses 8887 internally, mcheng89 could confirm)
4) Disable all firewalls (you can reconfigure later if this is the issue). I think this may have been my problem but I don't remember.
5) Try running the server as admin.

If one of these things does fix it please post back so we know for the future.
For the IP address issue I tried it again today and it worked fine. Strange

For the VLC error it was the public firewall was on even though the home network firewall was off. Turning off the public firewall fixed it.

Now I have a new issue. On the web interface where you see the guide I can't move the selection. Clicking and the arrows does nothing. That did work yesterday once but every other time I tried nothing. I can click on settings and all channels pull down. This is happening on IE and chrome.

Glad it works now.

Good to know this is a firewall issue for next time.

Clicking on the channel selection doesn't do anything but the arrows should move it. I would try clearing the cache on your browser and then retrying the site. Restarting tv.exe probably wouldn't hurt either but that shouldn't be necessary. If this doesn't work, try clicking on the settings icon or typing in a channel number. Let us know if either of those do anything.

Can you give me some details on how you got the raspberry pi going? I have it working on a windows box both local and remotely. I have tried rasbmc and openelec... on raspbmc I can not see the addon in openelec it crashes and reboots.
Going to take a look into jfoley's issue today and finish my websocket changes.
Also fix a issue on the server that might cause xbmc to crash.

I'll take a look at any posts I missed after that.
I hate to ask but is the Mac version working / up to date?

Thanks
Guy
Ok got script.tvserver going... half way on the raspberry. The guide comes up but crashes on a channel change...however when I restart it is on the channel I selected and runs fine unless i change channels. Still no luck getting pvr.tvscript to run as live TV. Xbmc never see it as a client.

Its compiled for windows only :\



Finished the web browser remote. It's nice being able to use a iphone to start a channel on another pc. Smile

Going to look at jfoley's issue later.

Just testing out the Remote api call, when I put "http://localhost:8888/getDeviceList" I get "{ "devices": [ ] }"

I am running one tuner.
The most recent version ( v0.6.1c) broke the guide on Windows 7 outside the lan. Says error loading. I reverted back to 6.0 and it works fine. Also was there a change to the windows version of pvr.tvserver? One version worked cant recall which one the new one just errors out as soon as it enabled. The logs says something about not being able to initialize dll.
