pastimer Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Here is a tip, and i have nothing to do with them; The 2 player app works like a dream with the recording service. Realy excellent. This also proves the very high quality of the recording service itself. I tested many upnp control points and found this app to be the best one by far! Eppo
Freezer Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Searching "2 Player" in the market gives >800 results... Do you mean "2Player DLNA Music Player" from "Robin Davies"? Does it only Play Music or also Video?
pastimer Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 That's the one. A upnp control point doesnt play anything. It binds a source (from a upnp server) to a target, an upnp client device. So what can be played is only a function of what is offered by the source and what the client device is capable of. I normally play my mysic (mp3 collection and internet radio and sat radio) and video (recorded, live-tv, dvd) on a popcornhour (PCH-B110). As UPNP servers i use DVBViewer upnp server (for all dvb-s/s2 sources) and twonky (for music and internet radio). This application has no problem with any of the above. I also tested music on an old Noxon audio player and on the phone itself and this also works. Also, you can download music to your phone, but this i did not trie... Have fun !
Freezer Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Ok, just installed 2 Player. Could you write a short explanation how do get TV working? I see "DVBViewer Media Server", there are "TV/Radio/Records/Audio/Pictures", with some sub-menus, but nowhere is can see any content. Using it with the media local on my phone i only can see/play music file, and 2 Player is announced as music player only on its website http://www.two-play.com/ Edited February 16, 2011 by Freezer
unki007 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 This app is not working... There is no way to get DVBViewer Stream working on Android... -.-
pastimer Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 Must be your settings. Connected to your wireless network? If you cannot 'see' upnp servers / client devices in 2 player your network is not set up properly. E.

Using it with the media local on my phone i only can see/play music file, and 2 Player is announced as music player only on its website http://www.two-play.com/ Your phone is not capable of playing .ts. With my recent installation of the recording service, i can see my channel lists (it may be a good idea to remove entries from it so that it does not contain thousands of stations but onlu a few hundred). 2 player does play any content as it is only a control point. Effectively it just serves as a remote control. I would advise to first get UPNP to work without 2 player. Any mediaplayer and quite a few TV's (Sony, Samsung) will has some form of upnp/dlna support these days. Also, setup a trial version of Twonky and make this work just for recorded music first. When this all works fine, add recording service. 2 Player should be the last step, just making it easier to control then with an ordinary remote. E
Freezer Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Well, UPnP itself works fine, 2Player plays DVB-S Radio channels without any problems. But how can 2Player know what filetypes my phone can play? I just installed VPlayer (which can handle .ts files and plays "http://192.168.2.101:7522/upnp/channelstream/*.ts" directly), but still no TV channels are shown. Edited February 18, 2011 by Freezer
Dirk Hartstein Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 This app is not working... There is no way to get DVBViewer Stream working on Android... -.- This ist not correct. Evildave have find it out how you can stream to your Android with the recording service. You will need only the vplayer. For GPRS: Muxer: TS V-Codec: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC V-Bitrate: 16kbps Videogröße: 0.25 A-Codec: mp3 A-Bitrate: 8kbps Kanäle: 1 For EDGE: Muxer: TS V-Codec: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC V-Bitrate: 64kbps Videogröße: 0.25 A-Codec: MPEG-4 A-Bitrate: 64kbps Kanäle: 1 For UMTS: Muxer: TS V-Codec: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC V-Bitrate: 192kbps Videogröße: 0.25 A-Codec: mp3 A-Bitrate: 64kbps Kanäle: 1 For WLAN/LAN: Muxer: TS V-Codec: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC V-Bitrate: 512kbps Videogröße: 0.5 A-Codec: mp3 A-Bitrate: 96kbps Kanäle: 1 Afterwards you have started the stream you go directly to vplayer and select open url. In that you put the adress from your server and streaming port. Example: http://my-server.com:3335 Then it start the stream. Big congratulations to evildave. Regards, Dirk
evildave Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 @dirk thanks for the congrats and for translating. I was about to translate my thread today, but now I dont have to anymore @all As in the German forum I would like to ask the users for some feedback, whether it works at all with their phones and whether there are any glitches. If somebody occurs to have wrong AR try the pinch gesture (thx @trudeh for pointing that out). regards evildave
therac Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 This app is not working... There is no way to get DVBViewer Stream working on Android... -.- Hmm. I must be imagining things then... Using localipaddress:8089/iphone/ I can access (allbeit with occasional glitches) Freeview on my Asus Transformer. It's fussy about the browser - I have only got it working with Opera Mobile so far - the built-in browser asks me where to save an .m3u file, Dolphin hangs when I press the play button, Skyfire doesnt load Flowplayer properly (need to check), and Firefox works impeccably until you get the 'I dont play Flash' message. On Opera it takes a while to fire up Flowplayer, and the controls are missing to go full screen. HOWEVER - if you get to the play button, and press and hold it, you can 'open in a new tab' (or you can do this on the small Flowplayer embedded image). Then you get perfect full screen video and audio... I did install Vplayer, and I'm not sure whether its using that or a fullscreen version of Flowplayer - there are no controls except for a little lock icon. And to close it, you have to use the Android back buttoin, which risks closing Opera completely, and 1.9.3 is 'unreliable' still - the service hangs if I stop the service from the tray icon in state 'Stopping'. But if you just fire up Opera, then select your channel (EPG works fine as well), select your streaming characteristics, and then press and hold the play icon, and select 'start in new tab', then use Opera to select the next tab, it's fine and watchable. I have had the odd hang after a while, but hey, I'm still investigating. Main issue is the piecemeal documentation which consist of a few notes here and there in the wiki, the changelog, and in threads on the site. But considering what its doing, its great, and the picture/sound are excellent streaming at any rate above 1M/s. Still dont get anything from outside the firewall - I can wake the PC via wake on lan, but dont seem to be able to connect, despite allowing port 8089 through - suspect I need to open a number of other ports, and possibly UDP, but (sigh) cant find any hints about what port/protocols I need to get the stream through. Good luck - maybe we need an Android 'how to' once a few people have got it going?
