Streaming live Tv and IOS 7

[Keyser]

Hi all

 

I'm sorry to report that the wonderfull streaming/livetv feature specifically for iphone is now broken if you upgrade to ios 7.

The stream will start but stops and hangs after about 5 secs

hmm, yes it seem like only the first chunk of a hls transmission is played back.

[hackbart]

I'm not sure if it is a bug in IOS7, but i think i found the issue and solved it. I suppose it is fixed, since i play the live stream for more than 10 minutes at the moment.

 

​

So far try to avoid installing IOS7. I found several smaller behaviours while playing around. For example open a video and the position bar is longer than the display. To fix it rotate the phone in 90° and rotate it back.

 

If you installed IOS7 you might try the following: Tune a stream, if it stops press complete and press run again. It seem to be that the playlist is not refreshed if it does not change within a certain time.

 

The problem is that i cannot increase the buffer without raising a timeout, decreasing the buffer size from 3seconds to 2 or 1 does not seem to be smart. Somehow i dislike the new system more and more :/

[hackbart]

Hmm, what i can say is that it definitively a combination of the buffer size and EXT-X-TARGETDURATION. Since we handle live streams live and start the transmission just in time you get a timeout if i increase the Target Duration value.

Under certain circumstances IOS7 stops loading the chunks, which seem to be a bug.

Hi everybody

 

Same problem here

[rumave]

Hi all,

 

some progress with the issue??

 

It's the best program to streaming TV and streaming Media, and it's a shame that it don't works in IOS 7, i can not to return IOS6.....

 

Thanks, cracks!!

[rumave]

Hello again,

 

This solution works!!!.

 

IOS 6, when you play streaming, in safari we can wait 15 sg about, from play to see streaming

 

IOS7 , play appear right away, if you touch play when it appear, streaming will stop at 9 sg. If you wait 15 sg to play, streaming works fine!!

 

I think tha the issue is related to buffer.

 

TRY IT!! works fine!!

[rumave]

Only in Recording Service 1.26 not in Recording Service 1.27

[maxc58]

Is there any update on RS1.27?

[beeswax]

Hmm, well since I updated to RS1.27, iOS steaming is now broken even on iOS6. The stream starts to play but after a few seconds freezes and the ffmpeg instance quits on the server.

 

Streaming to any web browser on a PC as flv works fine for hours on end but iPhone and iPad on iOS 6 both quit after a couple of seconds.

[hackbart]

I know i accidentally broke the support while adding flexible chunks and dynamic playlists which do not work well. This behavior will be reset on the next update. Anyhow it does not work well with IOS7 unless you disable the autoplay function and buffer at least 15 seconds before pressing the play button. It is quite annoying, but i do not see any other solution for this.

[beeswax]

That's good to know although new releases are fairly infrequent so is there any chance you could put out an unsupported hotfix to get this working again while we wait for the new version?

[beeswax]

I see there's another thread about this in the German section however Google Translate does a fairly poor job so I can't follow it that well. Just to be clear, I'm asking only for a hotfix to get streaming working again on iOS6 as it did in RS1.26. I understand something in iOS7 has broken the streaming capability beyond your control however it should be possible to fix iOS6 streaming right?

[convas]

How do I "disable the autoplay function" ?

[hackbart]

Remove the autoplay property from the Video tag inside the html

[beeswax]

I'm happy to report that RS 1.28 has got streaming to my iPhone on ios 6.1 working again. My iPad 3 has recently been upgrade to ios 7.0.4 (I wonder why) and that quits streaming after about 10s. A solution that works for me is using Chrome to access the iPhone web URL then steaming works fine.

Please test the new Webapp for iOS 7 in the members area

[eddymc]

can you please tell me how to get it working on ios? ive downloaded the update file ios705

 

But not sure how to set it all up. please help

[MarkusK]

Please copy the "iOS_705" folder into ...DVBViewer\SVCweb. Then open Safari and type in http://YOUR_IP:Your_PORT/iOS_705.

 

That's it

 

Try to stream with the default "Puffer" 15 seconds, if it doesn't work for you, try the next higher value and so on.

tried going to safari http://192.168.0.9:8809/ios_705 but nothing loads for me.

 

My pc running dvbdviewer and RS is on 192.168.0.9

 

my ipad im trying view on is 192.168.0.2

 

let me know what settings need to be config in DVBViewer, net streamer plugin and RS

[MarkusK]

Edit:

 

Is 8809 your Port for the service?

[eddymc]

Please note: iOS_705

 

changed to iOS but makes no difference

[eddymc]

my settings. DVBViewer>recording service> enabled> 192.168.0.9:8089 testing and working.

 

DVBViewer>Plugins>NetStream>enabled> streaming type = unicast> interface = 192.168.0.9

 

RS> Web/UPnp> enabled> webserver = empty> all ports been left as default> UPnP AV Server> enabled and ip field left blank

 

DVB Server> enabled> unicast interface = automatic > control server interface = automatic

[MarkusK]

Then use 8089 in the address, did you try this?

[eddymc]

what when trying open on my ipad? yes im using the port 8089. are my above setting correct?

[beeswax]

Markus, great work! I've got 7.05 running on my iPad3 with iOS 7.0.4 right now and it's been playing for a couple of minutes already so looks like you've cracked the problem! Thanks very much for taking the time to do this.

 

I'm not sure what the difficulty is above, I just extracted the archive and navigated to the URL and everything worked fine.

[eddymc]

Ignore that last comment, too tired and wasn't putting the correct port in,. Thanks for your help Markus got it working now [removed]

violating the forum rules

@beeswax

 

The head programmer did this, I only created the "Buffer" Interface to make the things easier

[beeswax]

Ah, I see. Then my sincere thanks to him too! Reliable streaming to iOS devices in the house is a pretty big deal to me so this is a very welcome update.

[convas]

Hi,

I have loaded iOS_705 and comes up fine on my iPHONE but when I get to the EPG-Info page I cannot see "stream" only "record" on the right hand side, the "stream" button is there on the left as it works when I click in the area but its just not visible.

[MarkusK]

Cannot reproduce this.

 

Try this: Navigate to recordings, tap on an item. The actionsheet appears and you should see the title on top, then "Details" and "View". Is "View" then visible?

Hi

View is not visible only Details

[MarkusK]

Seems, you have not the latest version of Recording Service installed, right?

[convas]

Ah yes, checked and have 1.21 running, I will try the latest, thanks.

[MarkusK]

Then it works, the old language file is the problem

[eddymc]

Sorry about my last posts, wasn't aware or forum rules, won't happen again,.. Lol

 

Question: is it possible to show my custom categories and fav channels instead of ios loading all my channels, my channels list is split into a,b,c etc and then bskyb channels :/ is there some settings I need to adjust within DVBViewer ?

[beeswax]

I've just got a new iPhone 5c (iOS 7.0.4 Jailbroken) and been trying out the new iOS_705 web skin with it. It loads OK but I can't change any options. Once I've selected a programme/channel to watch, I can't change the video profile options. When I tap either bitrate or 'encoding preset' the bottom half of the screen just fills with black (which I think is where the roller-style dropdown used to pop up on my 4S on iOS6). Like so:

 

 

The above is having just tapped 'Encoding preset'. Once this has happened, the skin continues to function however the browser is squished into the remaining area of the screen like this:

 

 

edit: I've booted the phone without any tweaks (holding down Vol+ while booting) and it works fine with no MobileSubstrate+tweaks, sorry for the false alarm. I'll try and work out if it's a general MobileSubstrate issue or a particular tweak I have installed.

 

edit2: Got it, it's a tweak called Bloard (which makes the keyboard black) responsible. I will contact the dev and try to get it fixed.

You have another issue on your device: The black font on your statusbar. To fix this, add the following repo to Cydia and install StatusBarFix2: repo.pnre.co.vu

[beeswax]

Oh, I thought it was meant to be like that, I kind of like it

 

Think I'll steer clear of the fix though, Saurik doesn't seem to like the idea and I haven't noticed any other status bar issues as yet.
