Hi,

since maybe one week, I have problems using the recording service.

After about 15-20min it seems that the service is loosing the connection to the poppi (?).

The picture freezes at the TV and the pc is running on 100% CPU-load. Also the pc is than totally slow. The only thing that helps is a reset or to shut down the DVBVService with the task manager. I didn't change anything and before the service was running perfect for some weeks. I'm using Skystar II PCI. Does anybody have the same problem or has an idea how to avoid this?

Sounds great, maybe you can do me another favor and give me (us) a short overview what actually is possible with the combination of popcorn hour and DVBViewer?

And I almost forgot, a big thanks for investing your time in this, looks like a really interesting thing.

Could a popcorn hour please provide us with some details of what can be expected using this media extender with DVBViewer? I'm interested in using one, but as I'm mainly interested in live TV i would like to know how channel switching is actually working. What I like with DVBViewer is the fast channel switching time. Can the same be achieved when using streaming to the popcorn hour? is there any lag and how long is it?

Also how is the OSD? Do we still get the mini OSd when switching channels? In short any details on user experience would be nice...

streaming the live tv from DVBViewer to the popcornhour is done via the recording service.you need it installed and configured with your ip address any port setting and allowed to pass throught any firewall.

it. when this is done and on the popcornhour home page you should see the DVBViewer .the viewer osd on the popi isnt like the viewers osd on the pc but its effective.it shows the channels that are in the channel list of the viewer on the pc and some epg aswell ..channel switching is done by pressing select on the popi remote at the choice of channel and the to change you must press the stop button on the remote .the osd appears again with the channel list and then you press select at the choosen channel again..and so forth.

the lag you talk about is there but for a second or two when the channel is selected as it has to load.but the picture quality is perfect

.there is a zapper which can be loaded but this must be done by creating a network share file of which zapper will be in and which the popcornhour can detect (see relevant posts). this will switch channels instantly up or down or if you know the channel number you want but this zapper needs configured .(at present i do not have the new setting after latest popi firmware update).

all in all i find the popi fantastic and would recommend it.

i wish i could give you more technical advice and pacifics but unfortunately im not a computer programmer like some noobs in here.

 

good luck

Hallo,

 

iam now a Newcommer with an A-100

Should this Script still work with newest Firmwaware?

 

The Last Words on TV Screen are "mount mounting" - the script is called but seems not to work -

 

#!/bin/sh

 

echo "Content-Length: 30";

echo "Content-type: text/html";

echo "";

 

cd ~

mkdir /etc/DVBViewer 2>/dev/null

mount -t cifs //192.168.178.33/mediak6 /etc/DVBViewer/ -o username=guest,ro;

cp /etc/DVBViewer/lircbeamer /usr/bin;

sh -c /etc/DVBViewer/startlb 2>/dev/null &

echo "Lircbeamer started on your popi...........";

exit 0;

 

I did even try before it with

mount -t cifs //k6/mediak6 /etc/DVBViewer/ -o username=guest,ro;

 

Maschine Name K6 seem to work,on the TV Screen i see

192.168.178 mount mounting -

 

Ip WIn is 192.168.178.33

 

Iam using XP Home -

 

thanks for tipps -

 

(Excuse English is very difficult for me)

ok no more Problem, zapping works.... thank you very much for that Recording Service

 

now an other question, i did see this:

 

mvpmcx2 on Poppi - amazing the video how everything works

 

mvpmcx2 seems to be an open interface, not only fpr gbpvr

 

Is it perhaps possible in near Future to use DVBViewer / Recording Service in this way too? Perhaps connecting mvpmcx2 ?

 

Is it possible to say in an Month or in an Year?

 

 

Thank you!

I know this and tested it. I don't know if I can support it, because the mediahandling is quite special and it seems (as far as I have seen) incompatible with the way we and the popcornhour handle it.

Don't get me wrong, the guy is doing really great work!

But I wish he would have gone the uPNP way. a lot of it is already in the popcorn hour (for mediahandling), there are several existing libs for linux for it out there and a UPNP remoteUIclient would have completed it and could maybe be seamlessly integrated...

Hi there..

 

I've been working on this streaming thing for a long time.

I've tried videorec.dll, webinterface, dvbserver.. but i think i have no luck at all!

 

I'm gonna write everything that i've got..

 

Vısta ip - 192.168.1.100 (account name "sabi")

PCH ip - 192.16.8.1.102 (network share name created on PCH is "VISTA-C")

 

I have the DVBViewer.html, lircbeamer, script.cgi files inside my C drive.

 

My DVBViewer.html

 

<a href="http://localhost.drives:8883/[SMB]%20VISTA-C:sabi/script.cgi">lircbeamer</a>

 

Script.cgi ,

 

#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 30";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";

cd ~
mkdir /etc/DVBViewer 2>/dev/null
mount -t cifs //VISTA-C/sabi /etc/DVBViewer/ -o username=root,rw;
cp /etc/DVBViewer/lircbeamer /usr/bin;
sh -c /etc/DVBViewer/startlb 2>/dev/null &
echo "Lircbeamer started on your popi...........";
exit 0;

 

I know how to stream between two windows based computers but when it comes to Linux i have no idea!

What do i have to do ? What is that i'm missing?

 

By the way my guide's language is turkish but i think seeing the ip numbers and pictures should be enough.

 

NOTE:

If i need to enter port numbers, i wanna let you know that my dvbserver.exe's controlserver port is 2345, and my video streaming port is 5000.

 

Thank you.

Dear Lars and the others..

 

 

I would really be appreciated if someone helped me about my issue mentioned above.

I will be testing my VISTA- PCH network connection speed this weekend via my friends hotplug (unfortunately he wont have the opportunity to bring that thing again ), so that i need to have a success till weekend.

 

By the way i forgot to mention that my uPnP ip is 192.168.11.1, port is 8889 (DVB Service V1.4.7.105 Beta says so)

popcorn checkbox is checked in the dvbservice.

Hi everybody.

 

Yesterday for the really first time i managed to stream SD dvb content to my PCH, via the line given below

 

<a href="http://192.168.1.100:5000" vod>DVBViewer</a>

 

This is just a copy of my DVBViewer in my computer, still i cannot tune and change channels from my popcorn.

Could anyone explain me about this popi thing please ?

I didnt get what it is used for. :D

 

when my DVBViewer is off, record service works OK (i didnt stream via recservis yet, i'm still using netstream), and webinterface is just fine.

What else do i have to do???

Hi,

 

I have just installed DVBViewer and DVBViewer Recording Service , it works fine with my Popcorn A-110, in my windows XP server,

but I have tried to install all in my windows 2003 server and (in the same lan same config, I have only change the ip) the system don't work

I can say if there are some problem with windows server 2003 ?

I have setting guest account and the shared folder are correctly installed on my Popcorn..., the webserver works, but I don't see the icon on source media as I can see wen I installed on XP

 

Thanks

Posted

ok.... I resolved...

 

Lars post me that windows server 2003 don't work with DVBViewer, but it isn't correct.

 

The DVBViewer work fine in windows server 2003, but You must active the guest user and you must insert this account in propriety of shared folder.

 

The problem is for DVBrecording service that this service is listening Popcorn on netbios via UPNP... at default windows server 2003 have UPnP not installed, and I have forced this service for activate the DVBrecording...

 

After that all WORKS...

 

See You

is it possible to connect the popcorn to the rec. service over the internet?

i have a 50/50 connection so the speed should not be a problem.

 

would it be possible to make a html link page or something like that?
