webif vlc and bouquet streaming

    I'm streaming a full bouquet so I can zap from vlc.
    It seems it needs a line like this before every channel "#EXTVLCOPT:program=207" (what is the purpose of it, btw?)
    Without it vlc is unable to open the stream.
    The added data correspond to the setting "Add service name to stream information".
    This data only included if I stream a single channel but not a bouquet.
    As a result all the links in the bouquet aren't playable.

    If it is a must to use this setting for vlc why is it even an option?
    To what exactly correspond the program number 207?
    It doesn't look like the channel number. How can I find this number easily?

    It would be also be the expected behavior that when you choose a bouquet streaming to tell the tv tuner to get lost and free the resource.

    One other thing, I would like to stream the audio only and that it would be in sync to what is playing at the box so I can view it from there, is that possible?
    This is useful in situations when you don't have a speaker connected.

    Thank you for your help.

    I never had problem with the playlist created for a bouquet.



    Maybe the openwebif in your image is different???



    You could probably create a custom radio channel to stream and you could try pausing/resuming the stream to get in sync but even then it would probably drift.

    v0.4.7 (OPENATV)


    What is the vlc version that you're using? I'll try it.
    Our m3u file is the same.


    Code
    #EXTINF:-1,MGM
http://10.100.102.3:8001/1:0:1:F5:A:DE:FFFF0000:0:0:0:
#EXTINF:-1,CHANNEL 20 
http://10.100.102.3:8001/1:0:1:148:12:DE:FFFF0000:0:0:0:
#EXTINF:-1,Shopping channel
#EXTVLCOPT:program=3
http://10.100.102.3:8001/1:0:1:3:1:DE:FFFF0000:0:0:0:
#EXTINF:-1,Channel 2

    Yes, I don't think it will work. The stream falls behind btw, so pausing and resuming will be pointless.
    It would also be great for purposes like adding a bluetooth headphones for your tv.


    One more question that pops to mind is that, can I auto update the stream to follow what is playing on the tv and so there will be no conflict?

    I notice dthe plugin author use the x64 version so I switched to it.
    In 32bit the "satellite" entry not even showing in the playlist.


    I've a 64bit system but for some reason VLC website only direct me to the 32bit version.
    I've downloaded it from another domain instead.


    I get this message:

    Code
    ts error libdvbpsi (PMT decoder): 'program_number' don't match


    a lot.
    Seems to be the same thing related also to my bouquet streaming issue.
    Plugin loads the bouquets but not streaming at the moment.


    Currently I have installed both the 32bit and 64bit latest versions.
