Hi mcheng89, I find myself using DirectStream on computers/streamers around the house. I'm hoping you'll be able to make it work in your iOS App. Now, my only concern is what you see here in the picture. It is very noticeable on any scenes with movement or scrolling tickets. Playing through XBMC seems to soften the effect, but it gets worse when diretstreaming to VLC and iOS (GoodPlayer). What do you think this is?

That is interlacing which can be fixed by turning on deinterlacing in vlc player (film NTSC is best for tv often referred as IVTC) or using the new web GUI which turns this on by default Wink

but currently there is no solution for ios

There is a solution for iOS Wink

I can have vlc deinterlace before it streams the file.
In vlc and xbmc you can turn on deinterlacing on the clients. Click 'm' for deinterlace settings in xbmc.

Problem solved! Actually GoodPlayer seems to be the only iOS player with a "Deinterlace" option, and turning it on definitely corrects the issue. As you said, it would probably be less stressful for the device to have it deinterlaced on the stream itself.

Now, when you guys play a RemoteCeton transcoded stream on iPad/iPhone, can you see jumps in the video every half a second, particularly when you look at a scrolling ticket?

It might be related to the CPU power of the iOS device. We'll probably know next week if the new iPad comes out and suddenly it is all smooth...

Hey guys. hopefully someone can help, but maybe it's just a networking issue. I turned on remoteCeton on my computer at home. I am now out of my house and trying to use the web based stream (I opened up the port on my router)

1. I installed VLC 2.0 on the remote location computer
2. I typed in http://<true ip address>:8555/m/m
3. I see the interface europorsche914 set up in my browser
4. I selected the lowest possible quality (240-100kbps) and selected the correct tuner
5. When i click the channel, I can see that the remoteCeton at my home computer changes the channel and starts VLC.
6. I just see the VLC logo on my browser (tried using firefox and explorer)

thanks for any advice/fixes!
