Freeview: IPTV Live TV Streams

[Montreal1]

So now...what are we gonna do with Delay?

[kristupas]

That still remains a BIG problem. Now it's about 20-25 seconds for me most of the time, 5-10 should be watchable. Any ideas?

Maybe just too add some more info as radio-streams which are let's say 35 hours length...radio's popping up in a sec...can be ?

Hi guys, ive been following this thread and implemented the scripts with positive results. got ITV1 (LQ) streaming here to aust with minor buffering.

Ive been trying this for a while now to connect the WD to my CCTV H264 cams with not a lot of success and gotta say a big thanks to everyone who contributed to this script. I think this proxy might do what ineed to conx to my cams and ill post the results asap.

Does anyone know what casues the long wait before the stream comes thru?

Thank you. The udpxy method worked for my HDHR tuner and I can watch cable shows on my WDTV, now. The HD shows hang the system, but there are clear QAM SD versions of all the HD programs that work fine.

Unfortunately I cant find a method to disable "start\continue" dialog before every channel ((

Unfortunately I see how to do it, but don't know enough php to do it. I'm guessing you need to remove the resume point lines for the "id" from /tmp/video_resume_point_table in the proxy code. I suppose you could remove the whole file and lose all resume points.

Pauf...what about video delay...can u see how can be avoid?

I have some tcpdump traces from a TV show stream and the stream starts within 3 seconds. For some reason the display takes much longer. I am guessing the wait is to fill a pipe.

This perl command:

Code: Select all

perl -0135 -i.bak -ne 'print unless /itemurl/;' video_resume_point_table


Removes all of the records with itemurl in the record. -0135 sets the record end to be a right bracket.

I guess I could put the perl in a script that the proxy would exec. I have quit using the stream for awhile because it messes up my internet connection so bad that I have to reboot the cable modem and the router. I have had some router hangs before I used the stream and have been thinking about getting a new N router, anyway.

Can u add to ths php?

[PaulF]

I added this to the beginning of my proxy php file and it seems to get rid of the start/resume dialog.

exec('perl -0135 -i.bak -ne "print unless /itemurl/;" /tmp/video_resume_point_table');

I used 'itemurl' because the actual url is mangled in the resume table.
