I tried the vdr-upnp plugin yesterday and it actually takes ages. With 
~5000 channels (mostly junk but I never have time to clean them) it 
takes ~20 minutes at each startup.
Even with a reduced channels.conf (100 channels) it takes too long for 
vdr to actually produce an image.

I feel sorry, that you were facing so many problems with the plugin.
Actually, it is still very bugous and will take some time to fix them. If
you are a programmer, feel free to help me improving it.

I will consider your idea to include a discard-all-but channel listing
feature. Recordings (except H.264) are supported yet in version 0.0.2-alpha.

Back to FUPPES: I haven't ever used FUPPES, so I just can say that this
should work. But I am not sure. Try it and you will see.

 I have downloaded vdr-upnp and will give it a try but I see (please correct
 me if I am wrong) two points of concern

 a) It works only for live tv, not vdr .TS recordings (which I am most
 interested in streaming to my xbox 360)
 b) My channels.conf has over 1000 channels, neatly divided in groups. The
 vdr-upnp documentation states you can exclude certain channels from the
 plugin, but this could take for ages
 as I would only be interested in streaming a few channels, can this be
 configured to exclude everything by default and only include a few that I
 specify?


 Also back to FUPPES I notice it has the following entries in the config
 file:

file ext=mpg
  extmpeg/ext
  typeVIDEO_ITEM/type
  mime_typevideo/mpeg/mime_type
/file

   file ext=vob
  typeVIDEO_ITEM/type
  mime_typevideo/x-ms-vob/mime_type
/file

   file ext=vdr
  typeVIDEO_ITEM/type
  mime_typevideo/x-extension-vdr/mime_type
  transcode enabled=true
extvob/ext
mime_typevideo/x-ms-vob/mime_type
  /transcode
/file


 But I think that refers to PS recordings (as it certainly was not working
 out of the box)
 No mention of H.264 in the config file...


 I have added the following :

file ext=ts
  typeVIDEO_ITEM/type
  mime_typevideo/mpeg-ts/mime_type
  transcode enabled=true
transcoderffmpeg/transcoder
extvob/ext
mime_typevideo/x-ms-vob/mime_type
  /transcode
/file

 should this work? (I am not at home to test at the moment)

Hi Denis,

I wish I had the skills to help you with the programming but bash and a bit of 
C is all I can manage.
Perhaps it would be simpler (and achieve the same end) if you implement a 
feature the plugin can read
an alternative to channels.conf . This way in my case for example I would copy 
and paste a few essential channels and let the plugin load them but
no way I can let it loose on a channels.conf with more than 1000 entries...

About vdr recordings... 

FUPPES chokes on my vdr folder, so does not seem to be .TS friendly

Anybody knows if minidlna supports streaming .TS files ?

I guess I will find out in a few hours anyways...

2010-03-25 Thread Denis Loh

Hi martinez,

actually, this feature is about to come. Essentially, it was planned to 
map channels from different sources - i.e. cable, sat or terrestrial - 
to a single item. This cannot be done automatically or if so, only by 
reading the channel names.


Because DLNA requires media servers to support at least MPEG-TS and 
MPEG-PS, minidlna should support TS-streaming. Was it working with 
LiveTV and  the plugin on your XBox? This would be good to know for me.


Cheers,

Denis

Can't help you on fuppes.

Give vdr-upnp plugin a try, if your Xbox supports upnp or dlna, it
should work. At least my Xtreamer works propperly with firmware v2.3.1

 I've setup an HTPC with VDR 1.7.13 and FUPPES.

 The client is an xbox 360 and it can connect to FUPPES and play divx files
 but not VDR's .TS recordings.

 Anybody got this working and could tell me how to configure fuppes to
 transcode the .TS recordings in .VOB or .MPG so the xbox 360 can play them?
