Can anyone recomend a Mac Client for Recording Service?

[Cian]

Hi,

 

After many years without a Mac, I have finally taken the plung and built a Mac. It is replacing my old XP "office" computer at home, while still retaining my Win7 PC with DVBViewer/RS on it for Home Theatre. I may occasionally need to get the Mac to show some live DVBViewer channels, so can anyone recommend a viewing client for the Mac. I assume that it would be something such as XBMC, but if there is a nice neat little (free!) program out there that does the job with no fuss, that would be good to know.

 

Thanks,

 

C.

Google for UPnp or DNLA client .

 

Found one free client on the first search

I already did the google, but I was hoping to get recommendations from DVBViewer users. Had also tried the software you linked to, but couldn't get it to see live TV, only the recordings.

 

Will keep looking.

Use the VLC-Player.

 

Download the m3u-playlist from your Recording Service and open as playlist in VLC.

 

Works perfect (... on my Macbook Pro via WiFi).

 

OK, EPG and perhaps a couple of other DVBViewer-specific functions do not work as the video is streamed.

 

But the RS-Web gives you all that.

Thanks! That was the issue I was having - how to get the player to see the live streams.

 

Had installed XBMC, but seemed a bit of overkill for a casual monitor of a station.

 

Thanks again.
