that would be great.. then i can test and let you know..

v2.2.3 - added direct streaming for web interface
http://www.mediafire.com/?etgxg2xw0yjmddv

gman3042 · 2012-08-08, 04:44

ok.. just ran that for a little bit.. basically running the same way xbmc runs.. it will be good for 10-15 minutes and then pixelate.. or it could go 2-3 minutes and then pixelate.. so it looks like its an issue with the server.

i cant reiterate how perfect transcoding is tho for the slingbox esque stuff.. but.. direct stream still pixelates more than transcoding..

Using HD Homerun Prime, VLC version vlc-2.0.2-win32, CetonTV v2.2.3

I'm getting an error when starting script.cetontv in XBMC. RemoteCeton starts fine and indicates that it can see the plugin startup and then I see it respond with the stream, but all I get is an error. The xbmc log seems to imply its not getting anything from the stream.

EDIT 2:
I am getting a similar error in the latest windows Eden PVR build using the Ceton PVR addon. I must have something broken in the back for it to effect both the same way. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

mcheng thanks for the post of the channel map, that helped quite a bit, got epg working on my test channel at least, but still having some issues getting video and have a few questions:

here is the frequency i used for my test channels:
SCANNING: 639000000 (us-irc:93, us-cable:93)
LOCK: qam256 (ss=90 snq=100 seq=100)
TSID: 0x0045
PROGRAM 6: 0 (encrypted)
PROGRAM 7: 0
PROGRAM 12: 0

here is my custom channelmap.csv:
12,abc,0,639000000
13,nbc,0,639000000
14,hbo,0,639000000

i open this network stream in vlc:
http://localhost:8555/play?channel=12&tuner=2

this is what is displayed in the CLI:

[8.8.2012.0:50:36]: Tuner[2]: Changing channel number to 12
[8.8.2012.0:50:36]: "C:\Program Files\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\hdhomerun_config.exe
" FFFFFFFF set /tuner1/channel auto:639000000
[8.8.2012.0:50:36]: "C:\Program Files\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\hdhomerun_config.exe
" FFFFFFFF set /tuner1/program 0
[8.8.2012.0:50:36]: Tuner[2]: Program number is 0
[8.8.2012.0:50:36]: Tuner[2]: Channel name is abc
[8.8.2012.0:50:36]: Tuner[2]: hdhomerun://192.168.0.10/1
[8.8.2012.0:50:36]: Tuner[2]: Starting video stream
[8.8.2012.0:50:36]: VLC[2]: Starting VLC instance with remoteVLC plugin
[8.8.2012.0:50:36]: VLC[2]: Streaming to http://localhost:8557
[8.8.2012.0:50:36]: Scheduler: Sleeping 90 seconds until next task

my question is it appears i will have to edit both the channel scan.txt and the channelmap.csv for it tune to the right "program" on the specific qam, correct?
also it seems like i should have gotten some video based on the output from the cli do you have any ideas as to why i didnt?

thanks for any info you can provide.

Ok, I've read through this ENTIRE thread.

My Ceton is on order and can't wait to try all this.

One question for the developer:

Where did you find the info on how to talk to the Ceton card and to receive the stream?

Before I found this thread, I've looked everywhere I can to find any info, but have been unsuccessful.

Is there a spec or a developers api that you used?

I was looking to do something like this myself until I found this thread.

Thanks.

Let me start by saying this is a really excellent piece of work, thanks.

I finished all my setup I believe, but have run into two I believe separate errors. The first was mentioned a few times earlier in the thread, when i try and connect from outside of my network i get to the ui but when I click play it says loading until the server times out (after 90 seconds). The ports are forwarding 8554-9, and windows firewall is allowing the program through. Am I missing something?

The second is a smaller thing. When looking at the guide things look like this: http://postimage.org/image/rlhv3ms1l/
if I mouse over it you can faintly read the text but it is incredibly faint. In the web interface it looks fine.

I have looked through the thread but didn't see anything.
Thanks a bunch.

Ok I completely forgot that vlc is streaming the video. In windows firewall, you also have to allow vlc to be accessed.

EDIT: nvm, if its working in locally, then theres nothing wrong with windows firewall... could be a port forward issue or a client issue

I actually thought of that too and vlc was being allowed through. I just tried again with windows firewall disabled to the same effect.

mcheng, any word on an updated hdhomerun server? i've been running .strm files from xbmc using the hdhr prime and there hasn't been any lag at all or stops. it's gotta be something with the ceton server. everything else about the app is perfect Smile

dsherley9 · (This post was last modified: 2012-08-26, 21:31 by dsherley9.)

It says you can set it up to stream outside of your house. Does anyone know how to set that up? Is it possible to use the ceton tv web interface?

gman3042 · 2012-08-27, 01:56

forward the ports 8555-8559 on your router and then try accessing from an external ip

dsherley9 · (This post was last modified: 2012-08-28, 01:32 by dsherley9.)

Thanks, was able to connect to it via my external ip. Smile
