Streaming works?

Hello.

I need to do streaming in my home lan or internet (better in my home lan) from my Hauppauge HVR4400 to my android tablet. So, I installed Progdvb pro x64 to check before buy, but I am not sure how must I do for lan streaming, media server I think must need a client, but I don´t find progdvb clients for android, and in modules I can´t see internet gate server.

The manual have nothing to do with the options I see, maybe is for old versions?

I have it working right with my hvr4400 and motsat3, but I need the streaming working to choose progdvb for buy it.

Regards

You can try any IPTV client in android. Links for M3u list of channels you can look in server interface.

This for the android side, but what must I use for Progdvb side? Media server?
I can´t find Internet gate server :?:

Thanks for the support

Ok, Finally I make it work with media server at progdvb side and Mx player at android device side.
But it don´t work fine, video freezes from time to time, need some minutes to load, and there is no sound.

I think is because the data transfer is very high for a wireless lan, and the sound problem must be Ac3 codecs I haven´t in android player...

But I tried TS transcoding to reduce bitrate, but it seems not to work... the android player keep loading all the time.

I saw the last update and tried it, but there is no way to access to Options--->Modules; don´t appears this option.
Just uninstalled this version and turned back to the old one, and the option was there again :-)

THere is no way to use vlc to transcode and stream with Progdvb?

I tried the same channel with DvbDream (it supports VLC integration) and VLC for ranscoding and stream, and I see and hear the video perfectly; It is load in seconds and no more freezes.

Current version of server can transcode over elecard mux pack.

ps: Try change max packet size on server settings.

This is the log for TS transcoding:

..........................

If I am right, the problems is the emecard mux codec isn´t available, can´t I choose another codec to do the job?
I think install Elecard option was grey when I installed progdvb... Elecard codec is for x64?

Reduce the the packet size from 1400 to 400 made no difference

1. elecard pack only x32.
2. Size must be near real size of network packets. Try 32000 or 64000. And without transcoding (for more stability)

AT 64000 works better, but not fine yet.
So, there is no way to do transcoding with Progdvb x64? (Installing x64 encoders, using vlc, wmp.... any way?)

Thanks for the help

Installation of x32 version is more simple. Yes, you can transcode over VLC, but how you can switch channels?

I don´t need to switch channels, I can go to the pc and change.
The main use is for watch tv in the tablet while I am working near . Is better watch it in the tablet and no install another pc, because I need some movement.

I can do it right with Dvbdream and vlc, reducing the bitrate... I got audio and video fine.

Obviusly, Progdvb is much better, so I want it.... but I like see it working before.

I will try with x86, but I am on windows 8 x64... and Elecard codec pack seems not to be installed right on my pc. Not sure if progdvb makes the difference

I think If I found the way to transcode over vlc, or better the way to use antoher x64 encoders for progdvb transcode, it will work as expected...

PLEASE, put me in the right way to use vlc or transcode with progdvb

Thanks again for the support, you are very kind.

You can open from VLC channels same way like from android. Over m3u or look direct links to channels in web page of server.

It don´t work... vlc can´t connect.

Whith Dvbdream, I can (directly from Dvbdream setup) to choose vlc as transcoding and emiting server.

It seems that dvbdream works sending the data by 127.0.0.1:1234 , and then vlc is executed (I can see vlc window opening).

Both apps (dvbdream and vlc) are open in the same computer at time.

Then vlc transcode the data and send it again compressed from 192.168.1.3:8080 (the computer IP). All this process happen in the same computer at time.

Then I can see the tv just opening any player in my android tablet and opening http://192.168.1.3:8080. No freeze, and audio ok.

BUT I can´t do it with progdvb, with prodvb open, vlc isn´t able to see what progdvb is emiting when both (progdvb and vlc) are open in the same computer... so I can´t do this way.

What I really need is compress the video signal before send it over the lan.

Check network interface in server settings. May be used not same interface.

Checked two times, are the same... even I checked and both progdvn and vlc are open the same ip and port, and with a network monitoring soft, I can see how the conecction progdvb-vlc is stablished... but I don´t know why, vlc can´t acess to the stream.

I see that dvbdream is udp, (I have no idea about streaming protocols) and progdvb seems to be tcp... maybe this is the problem?

Thanks

Yes, possible is reason. But http/ts is very standard format and vlc support that also. Please send me logs from ProgDVB and vlc.

ps: Try rename channel to simple name without spaces and national chars.
