Internet streaming with X-NEWA

[mvallevand]

After using Sheik Yerbouti's system yesterday I thought I'd post a few tips on streaming over the Internet.

First note that Internet streaming is not enabled by default. The following need to be changed to true

This provide access to the API
<AllowRemoteAPI>false</AllowRemoteAPI>

and this to live TV and recordings . You don't need this is you just want to manage and schedule recordings
<AllowRemoteStreaming>false</AllowRemoteStreaming>

Also the PIN has to be changed to something other than the default.

Other than setting up the home network to allow NEWA connections from the Internet that's it.

Playback will depend on you u/l bandwidth. Sheik's is a little too slow

Recordings buffer quite a bit http://youtu.be/ZAfjZM5eKqg on startup

and live TV works butl only low bandwidth channels like the one I show here http://youtu.be/ZAfjZM5eKqg

Last year I made this one on UJB's NEWA with a bit higher bandwidth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGr_50nYimc

Of course you could use X-NEWA's VLC transcoding on the client and then most LiveTV wil play if your backend is up to it.
