workin fine here, great work geminiserver........do u know anything about gettin 4-2-2 feeds working?

@kaisersose

what did you mean with gettin 4-2-2 feeds working?

[kaisersose]

q. what does 4:2:2 mean ?

a. 4:2:2 is a video chroma format used by broadcasters for the best quality picture. normal transmissions are in 4:2:0. to view the 4:2:2 transmissions normally you would need a professional receiver costing thousands of pounds but with the advent of pci cards like the skystar 2 it is now possible to view these feeds for less than 65euro. all you need is a skystar 2 pci card for your pc , a dish connected to the card and pointed to the correct satellite and the software progdvb.exe which is available free from http://www.progdvb.com. it is also possible to view 4:2:2 using a nokia 9xxx series receiver connected to a pc via a scsi cable and running the software program dvbrecorder.

i took that off a soccer feed site. anyways i read that ppl can watch 4:2:2 feeds on there pc when to stream there dreambox to the pc, i've never done it myself but u probably know that program. i dont know what the pc does that the dreambox cant but whatever it is, it would cool to get it workin on the xbox.

just searched a bit in google, and i found these quotes from sat-industry:

first of all mpeg 4:2:2 isn't mpeg-4 but it's still mpeg-2 and 4:2:2 is a chroma format (4:2:0 is chroma format used for most dvb channels "visible" on actual commercial boxes)
live fullscreen vieweing of 4:2:2 comming out form dreambox is possible only on pc for today with dreamtv + tuxvision + trex <- all must be installed in system but on my machine ath2000xp cpu usage while decoding is very high 90-100% and picture is breaking badly propably because high bitrate of 4:2:2 transmissions (around 10mbit)

the 4.2.2 is supported first time in 1.07.4 firmware. it is not ideal. we see 1/3 of the screen and the rest in errors , but it is first step in dream's firmware.

i actually noticed that(the last quote) the other day, so hopefully the dreambox will do it itself then.

@wasistwas

did you edit the logfile ? xxxx ? if you enter xxxx instead of the normal ip it won't work!

but if you just edit the log to prevent view your ip lol...
it seems that you are the one who's image not stable enought.. the script work perfect.. and it creates a play string.. and normly it should work!

the xxxxxes are not in the log file. i just don´t want to show everyone my passwords + my ips

hello,

first of all i have to say:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

version 0.32 ist working nearly perfect with my dreambox. but sometimes streaming is not working, stream gets bufferd and mediaplayer is launching and exiting without showing a picture. trying 2-4 times and it works, looks to me that the player is not syncronizing sometimes. could even be a dreamcast-image (hydra 1.08 final) problem.

thanks for that great work.

@Gemini

please add a simple routine the will detect byself what
baseimage in the receiver is working.

use a simple command what exists in 1.07 or 1.08 only and gives positive answer and in the other an error.

after that you can set the var dreamboximg to 0 or 1 full automatic.

@Rivendel
well the problem is that xbmc need more to detect the stream.. set the internet video cache to: 8192 or more..
also there are some problem with some channels.. don't know the problem..

@DOMin8or
the problem is that there to much images with own versions.. also the version is different from the normal 'version'.. so the best way is to set it manual..


all features are in dev state.. so.. time [i mean spare time]

[Mausman]

is it possible to keep the password on in the dreambox?
it would be better when you share the network with others, so not everyone can login.
i want to keep it on for safety :pirate:

thx

[jjun]

any ideas why i cant see the buttons on the left side (for stream now etc). i can still use them but cannot see which one is focused at them moment).

otherwise works excellent. thx.

any good skins available with direct link to the script from the homepage ??

[Craxx]

i have same problem as jjun.
what we can do??

best regards
craxx

[GeminiServer]

@jjun and @Craxx

the problem ist that the image folder [i mean from dreambox-tv] should or must be in the folder q:\scripts\dreambox-tv\images\*.*

then the focus an nonfocu button will be shown correctly..

check that..
