Streaming to TSReader with Powervu plugin...

I had some free time today, so I played with my old copy of TSReader. I installed the latest powervu plugin (1.9) and I verified it is possible to stream from my alien 2 to TSReader (must enable include ecm) and it decrypts and plays ok. Next step would be to stream it back to the receiver...

Tested with OpenSpa 4. BUT!!! It will not work with the modded pti.ko - you must use the original pti.ko from the image.

Basic steps:
Install TSReader (Pro version, lite version limits to 1 minute play/record)
Download powervu mdplugin (http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=82551&goto=newpost)
Extract file to MDPlugins directory of TSReader.
Download a softcam.key file with latest powervu keys and also put in MDPlugins folder
Get url for stream of desired channel. Easiest way is to use openwebif to stream the channel and look at the .m3u file to get the correct url.
From openwebif under settings ->Customize, make sure "Include ECM in http streams" is checked.
Start TSReader and select HTTP source and enter url.
In Tsreader under plugins open monitor for powervu plugin
In TSreader select program from lefthand column.
(You should then see data in the plugin monitor.)
From Playback menu select vlc -> play. (First time you will have to setup where your vlc is installed)
Select Audio and video pids and then stream...

File -> Select Source -> HTTP.dll -> OK
File -> Restart Source -> enter URL -> http://192.168.0.40:8001/1:0:1:1F86:...:820000:0:0:0:

Basic steps to playback on receiver:

In TSReader -> Playback -> VLC -> Settings (or ALT+v)
Under VLC Configurations, press "+" button to empty config.
Enter some Description - something like "re-stream"
For Command enter:

<IP>   :sout=#http{mux=ts,dst=:4321/} :sout-all :sout-keep

Using Dreamobox Edit, create new TV Bouquet.
Select new bouquet and right-click in TV User Bouquet details and select "IPTV and other streaming services" -> Add
Select Stream Type "DVB/TS" and enter some description.
in URL add:

http://<ip-address-of-pc>:4321/

in "Service Type" enter 1 - other fields can be blank
Select "add"
upload new settings to your receiver

Now in TSReader, open URL and select program, then Playback -> VLC -> re-stream (or whatever you named your vlc config)
Then on receiver select your new IPTV stream you created with Dreambox Edit

Not sure about your receiver and I have not tested with OpenATV yet.

I had a problem specific to a driver for the Alien 2 (pti.ko) where it would not send the ECM PIDs. When you try Sky Germany, is it sending the ECM PID also, or just the audio/video PIDs?

Have you tried disabling your internal cam(s) first? (oscam, cccam, etc)

Are you able to connect to the powervu stream with VLC?

Also try tuning the channel on the receiver first to make sure it can tune the channel (is on the right sat, etc..)

I did not test AFN Pacific - I think I remember reading that it was not working...

Can't test tonight - box is being used... :)

What fails with re-stream??

Does VLC open? Did you check in Tools -> Media Information -> statistics and see if VLC is receiving any data?

From a command prompt try "netstat -anp tcp" and verify there is an entry "TCP 0.0.0.0:4312 ... LISTENING"

It needs to be entered exactly how I wrote - just cut and paste:

<IP>   :sout=#http{mux=ts,dst=:4321/} :sout-all :sout-keep

Do not replace the <IP> part, and make sure there is a space between "<IP>" and ":sout"
You wrote port 321 or 4321?

Hi again,

I'm really happy.
With this entry :

Code

<IP>   :sout=#http{mux=ts,dst=:4321/} :sout-all :sout-keep

streaming back to my box works.

With this entry :

Code

<IP> #duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8902/tv.asf},dst=display}

I can watch the channel with VLC media player, streaming does not work.

One last question:
on my box, the picture and audio is not synchronous.
The audio is a little bit faster than the picture.
Can I shift the audo i.e. 1/4 second ????

If you just change second one to:

<IP> #duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:[COLOR='#FF0000']4321/[/COLOR]},dst=display}

Then you can use the same entry on your box....

There are lots of options for vlc to adjust audio, but maybe the easiest thing to try first is to increase the buffer. Got to Preferences -> select show settings all (bottom left) -> select Input /Codecs on the left -> on the right, scroll down and set Network caching (ms) to something like 2500, or higher. YOu can play with different values to see if you get better results...
