New LG and Samsung NextPVR Web Smart TV App available for beta testing.

[BrainStormer]

I did some more testing on my samsung. I loaded XBMC on my NPVR Server and had it share my recording folder over UPnP. The TV was able to play my recordings so it shouldn't be a format issue that preventing your app from playing the files.

Your app keeps sending a stream request. I do see a request for an edl file and the file is not found.

I've done some more testing, changing mime type and switching to another http streamer but sadly no luck on this one.

I'm sorry to say I can't figure out whats wrong. But it's the combination of NextPVR http streamer and the Samsung player and something different about your files.

I'll have to do some more research then. a possible work around could be to have an option to act as a DNLA control point and command the tv to play the particular show. I'll test to see if the tv supports this method.

When using DNLA frommy Silicondust Prime the last packet before it starts streaming correctly is this:

Code:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
SERVER: HDHomeRun/1.0
Connection: close
Content-Type: video/mpeg
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
contentFeatures.dlna.org: DLNA.ORG_PN=MPEG_TS_SD_NA_ISO;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=8D100000000000000000000000000000
transferMode.dlna.org: Streaming

I'll get some captures between your app and the npvr server next.
All my recordings come from the Prime so NPVR most be changing them somehow.

I rarely use my Samsung H-model TV so I can't really give you a detailed answer but this is what I know for sure about in-progress recordings.
The reported duration time is wrong.
Skipping is not very accurate

The F model can work quite well playing and seeking in already made recordings and Live TV (pause/play no seeking)
The E-models (Y2012) seem to have the best suitable player for recorded TV but UI is slow.

I finally got my F-series tv and playing and skipping in recordings does work pretty well. However, like martint123, unfortunately in-progress recordings won't even start playback (just get an endless spinning circle). From your response to him it seems like this can't be fixed for the F-series player?

Also, from earlier in the thread it sounds like you were able to link to the MB3 app so that both apps could be installed at the same time. Could this be reinstated or is it no longer possible? Thanks.

I don't think the 404 has anything to do with Samsung not playing the stream.
The request is from the app setting where-to-resume-postion to 0.
The filename seems odd since it ends with a space (%20) and no extension (.ts?)

But as I said I doubt this has anything to do with the streaming problems.
The test file you provided plays fine on my LG TV but not on any of my Samsungs using the same app and NextPVR - only difference is the Samsung player.

To me I seems like the Samsung player just buffers and never starts playing.

The dlna headers may be useful knowledge. I'll do some more experimenting later this week, I hope, life is busy ATM.

I see no simple solution to the in-progress recordings problem on F-models.
I think the only way is to tweak the streamer but that's subs department.
I will do some streaming related testing for BrainStormer and while at it I'll have a look at this problem too.

The link to the MB3 app got broken so I removed it.
