I don't use XBMC, so not sure about issue 1.

2. Look for option "Zap before stream" and un-check it.

3. Port 80 - for web interface and streaming recordings
Port 8001 - streaming of channels
Port 8002 - transcoded streaming of channels
Port 8003 - transcoded streaming of recordings

NOTE!!! Make sure you enable authentication for webserver AND streaming (two separate options) and I highly recommend you use non-standard ports for the outside connections. Many routers allow you to map an outside port to different internal port (ie port 9001 on internet will connect to port 8001 your VU+.) If your router does not support this, the default ports can be changed on the VU+, but it is not as easy as doing it with the router...

Have you changed the default passwords??? Maybe somebody is "helping" you (and themselves to your server...)

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?

Quote from abu baniaz

If you are using Tuner A and there is a recording scheduled (not on same TP), the recording will be done on teh other tuner. Reasons are: 1. You are watching something, do not disturb your viewing. 2. You want to record something.

As above, change your preferred tuner for recordings. However, note the tuner occupancy issues. You may also want to make your preferred viewing tuner the motorised one as well.

So, it greatly depends on your viewing/recording habits. If you find that often you are watching something on 28e (or left the box on tuned to 28e) and then a timer recording starts on 28e, then the recording will start on the tuner with the motor (B) - which is what you probably don't want. In this case it may be better to set tuner B (motor) to priority. In this setup, if you start watching something on 28e, it will start on tuner B, leaving tuner A free for recording. Then once the recording starts, tuner B will still be free to use for all sats.

Of course if you record often from other sats (tuner B), this may not be a good option...

Some newer sata drives need to be jumpered to be compatible with slower interfaces.

Try "opt1" jumper...

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"

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

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 am pretty sure he meant version 6666, not 10666...

I have a similar setup and I set tuner priority to auto and tuner priority for recordings set to disabled and this works well most of the time...
From what I read in the past, recordings should choose the tuner with the least number of satellites - thus using the fixed dish first, leaving the tuner with the motor available...

Also make sure that under Record, that "Recordings always have priority" is set to "yes".

There is also a priority selection for recordings you may want to check...

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

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...

From VLC on a PC what does it say in tools->messages?

Maybe try again while you are watching a recording, so the drive is mounted. Also try "fdisk -l" (Lower case "L")

But it does work fine on a PC???

Does it work by directly opening with VLC by just using the url? It works for me with VLC, MXPlayer and VPlayer.

Not sure which tuner is used for recording when both are configured the same, but maybe the problem is with one of your cables?? Try swapping cables for B and C and see if the signal changes?

I just noticed that when streaming, it uses port 8001, but for file playback, it uses port 80. So, if you have authentication setup for the web interface, you need to modify the url in the ts.m3u file to include username and password.

I have only streamed recordings through the web interface to my PCs (windows and linux) using vlc. I noticed vu+ player did not work, but I never looked into why. Basically since my recordings are on an nfs server, I just mount the server directly rather than sending the files over the net to the alien and then back out again. I did notice awhile ago when looking at the source code for openwebif that there is some setting for XBMC, but not sure what it does. https://github.com/E2OpenPlugi…b/master/plugin/plugin.py
