Network Recorder with Dreambox

[mvallevand]

I made sure I was using mpeg2, and I've now successfully added a second channel by adding the tuning data to the db.

Could you also try with the new NetTarget and upload the log? I'd like to see if it works.

You recommend reducing the delay - I actually increased the delay and it seemed to make it more stable. I had taken this to be some kind of buffer setting - what does the delay actually do?

It is the delay from when the http command is issued and when control returns to NPVR. There is no way to control system resource in the plugin since sub advises that DoEvents() is not allowed so it can appear that the system is frozen during the blocking delay.

I will try reducing the display and increasing the buffer as you suggest.

Feel free to play with the NetworkRecorder delay

edit: is it the <PrePlayDelay> value in config.xml that you're referring to?

I guess so, I don't know.

I'm using the version of NetTarget.exe from post 17, and it's not creating a log file.

I don't have a good answer, since I have tested it from 32/64 bit and it is working ok, I even made sure it worked from a client PC. Ensure you have it in "Crogram Files (x86)\NPVR" by deleting it and uncompressing again. The files size is 9728 bytes.

Hi!
Any chance to use this with Dvbviewer's Recording Service?
It also streams ts via http

The m3u looks like this:

#EXTM3U
http://127.0.0.1:7522/upnp/channelstream/265.ts

The 265 is obviosly the Dvbviewer's channel number.

Thanks

It should work the same way described in this thread, just change the target ie:

NetTarget -o 1234 -t /upnp/channelstream/265.ts

i can't get it working.
The Source field keeps being replaced by "8421 Not defined"

Any tips?

[mvallevand]

It looks like you have the same problem as JP23. Do you see a log file NetTarget.log in the NPVR log folder?

Martin

No. There's no log.

[mvallevand]

I am not sure, you can try the attached, I have compiled the attached in "Release" mode, that has never been an issue before but I doubt that help

To recap the installation for NetTarget is

I) Install
Extract NetTarget.exe from the 7z file and into the NPVR program directory. That folder normally is

C:\Program Files\NPVR or
C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR (for 64bit)

Make sure when you extract the file you follow the same UAC safe methods on Win7 and Vista that you use for an NPVR update

Verify the file is there and is 9216 bytes.

II) Run

- open a command window (Start->Run->cmd.exe)
- change directory to the programs files folder above.
- run the command for the lines you want to add

NetTarget -o 1234 -t /urlyouwant

III) Check for log file NetTarget.log in the NPVR log folder.

Good it's working, I just gave bad instructions I forgot the -t before the second parameter

NetTarget -o 1234 -t /192.168.1.200/upnp/channelstream/64.ts

now the 1234 was just an example and it is probably not want you want more likely it is 8421 based on your earlier example.

NetTarget -o 8421 -t /192.168.1.200/upnp/channelstream/64.ts
