John Landry Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I am having some difficulty streaming from the recording service. When I transcode either video or audio I only get 2 or 3 seconds of streaming and then nothing. I have tried a variety of different transcoder settings and I am getting the same results from both VLC and WMP. If I don't use transcoding it is fine except I don't have the bandwidth for that. I am in Thailand and my DVBViewer PC is in the UK. Streaming over upnp also worked fine every time. I would appreciate any help on this - I have been struggling with it for a long time :-) support.zip Link to comment

This is what VLC message window outputs: main warning: PTS is out of range (8776322), dropping buffer ts debug: eof ? main debug: EOF reached main debug: finished input VLC version on client PC is 1.0.1 Goldeneye The problem is consistent regardless of muxer and/or transcoding settings. Anybody? Link to comment
Tjod Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 On the Server you need VLC player 0.8.6i Link to comment
John Landry Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 On the Server you need VLC player 0.8.6i On the server I do have VLC player 0.8.6i Janus. Link to comment
sniiki Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'm having problems with internet streaming too. I can get picture when I select direct stream but any other option wont work. VLC and WMP both say "file cannot be found" or so. I have VLC 0.8.6i on server. Link to comment
sniiki Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Ok it seems to work when I set the stream port in web interface to default 3335. But why is it so? Why isn't it the 7522 that is set in the RecServ config ? Link to comment
John Landry Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I am still trying to debug this. It was my understanding the DVBViewer service called VLC to do its transcoding when requested from the web page. However, when I start a transcoded stream and then check what's happening on the server it is DVBViewer service that is listening on port 3335 and not VLC. In fact VLC does not start up on the server at all. Can anybody elaborate on this please? Link to comment
ml 05019 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 VLC 0.8.6 is old, out-of-date, not supported anymore, its encoder crashes and gives out the picture with incorrect aspect ratio (at leat for me). The iPhone streaming is introduced in RecService, and it uses Ffmpeg instead of VLC. I suggest the regular, non-iPhone streamserver should also be changed to ffmpeg. That way, users won't have to keep 2 encoders on their PC, and also (see line 1 of this post) Link to comment
