The PCH also freezes for me when using streamdev directly. My current
solution is to use VLC's VLM telnet interface to clean up the stream.
I start VLC like this:
vlc-wrapper --ttl 1 --color -I telnet --telnet-password xx --vlm-conf
/video/vlm.conf
Where vlm.conf has all the channels from VDR and looks like this:
new 52767 broadcast enabled* (New broadcast, channel number padded +2 to
avoid conflicts with other services)*
setup 52767 input http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:3000/TS/32767 *(Input stream from
VDR/Streamdev)*
setup 52767 output #std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:52767} *(Output stream from
VLC : http://ip-address:52767)*
I used awk to convert channels.conf to vlm.conf. my command is listed below.
It will probably need some work :)
awk '{sub(:@, ); chann = $0 + 2; print new chann broadcast
enabled; print setup chann input http://vdr.decord.com:3000/TS/$0;
print setup chann output #std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:chann } }'
channels.conf
You can then telnet into VLC like this : telnet xxx.xxx.xx.xx 4212
start streaming:
control 52767 play
The stream will be available at: http://ip-address:52767
I have a page with links like this: a href='http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:'
vodchannel/a
stop streaming:
control 52767 stop
This is just a hack, until hopefully VDR/streamdev will be able stream to
the PCH without causing it to freeze.
But using this method I am able to watch channels within 2~3 seconds of
clicking on them, plus no freezing :)
VLC shows alot of errors like those listed below, but is able to fix the
stream to make it playable on the PCH

???, Tom??
can you watch hdtv channels on Popcorn with vdr 174 ?
Hi Goka777,
This week I switched to vdr-1.7.4 and streamdev-cvs (both without any
patches).
Its better than vdr-1.7.0 and streamdev-1.3.4 but popcornhour still
sometimes freezes (while watching SD /HDTV channels) and power off
from electrical network is needed.
I tried Nova HD and Eurosport HD channels and I am able to watch both
of them. But sometimes with freezing.
With what can I help? Could I save stream and store somewhere to FTP
for analysing or send some logs from vdr?
Best regards, Tomas
