VDR runs fine without a hardware MPEG-decoder. Compile it with "DEBUG_OSD=1". Install the streamdev-plugin and set it up in the OSD-menu to stream TS by HTTP. Then you can start Xine with "xine http://serverip:streamdevport/channel-number"; (port is 3000 by default and channel-number is based on the lines in channels.conf (e.g. channel 2 is Sat.1, channel 3 is Pro-7, ... on a server I've set up). Streamdev-plugin allows to be connected by as many clients as you wish only limited by your network-bandwith and the number of allowed clients you set up. And the best is, you can stream several channels at the same time. There is no limit how many user connect to one channel or how many differentchannels demanded (only by the number of your DVB-cards). You can also use MPlayer with "mplayer -cache 128 http://serverip:streamdevport/channel-number"; and setting streamtype to PS instead of TS, but it's quite choppy. Additionally, to maintain VDR, get EPG, etc, by webfrontend, you can install vdradmin. I've created a patch for vdradmin-0.23. That patch adds a link "Live" to the "What's running now"-section (which lists all current broadcasts with description) which opens a window by JavaScript and starts the mediaplayer in that window. That means -> see a list with the broadcasts -> do one click -> watch TV :o) You can get the patch at http://www.bartschnet.de/vdradmin-0.23-streamdev-patch2.bz2 -- Rene Bartsch Faculties MNI Computer Science 8th Semester FH Giessen/Friedberg, Germany Facsimile/Phone: +49 7 00/72 27 87 24 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
