webStreamer - an integrated Web streaming solution

[sgilani]

i'll keep my eyes peeled for a good fix for OS X.. but honestly it'll be kinda low priority..

Okay, I finally got it working. However, the web page (..\stream.aspx#) only displays a few shows that I have recorded and of those few only a couple actually play while others just display the VLC cone. If I login to my gbpvr(web) and head to "Video Library" I can see all my directories and all the underlying movies but I only see a few when I login through ..\stream.aspx#. Any hints?

Also, I'm still not seeing any images for the buttons. Any hints on how to fix this?

Yeah, the recordings issue is a known problem.. sorry to be missing-in-action for a while, I've been busy with some things, but the recording issue will be fixed.

I'm still puzzled as to why you're not seeing the images... What version of GBPVR are you running? Also, see if you can get to:

http://your_ip:7647/gbpvr/images/manage_btn_play.jpg (or replace 7647 with your webadmin port)

I am running the latest v0.96.8 which I installed from scratch.

I get an error when trying to access /gbpvr/images/manage_btn_play.jpg because I don't have directory .../images/

I wonder if when installing Enhanced Web Admin it got rid of it. I'll double check that.

How did you manage to get the ../image/.. directory?

Great :-)

Same for me, after the upgrade, which may have wasted the button? I did the above and got:

"Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.

Might try reinstalling your streaming plugin files...

alright, the new GBPVR probably did away with the images.. no issue, i'll just include the image for now. eventually i hope to get this integrated into EWA so this wont be an issue in the future.

I finally had a chance to give this a try. IT WORKS GREAT! I fixed the image/button problem by copying the image folder from an old install of GBPVR. At least until it gets fixed.

I have a couple of questions. When I made the changes to support WMP by editing the xml. WMV2, MP3, AND ASF, It didn't work correctly. I get a stream.vlc file to download/play. It doesn't run WMP it runs VLC, as you would expect, but I have video with no audio. When I look at the stream info it doesn't look like it even has a audio stream.

What did I miss?

Also will it be possible to support other files not in the recordings database? Like my AVI files? I have them in Video Library. Will it be possible in future versions to stream all video or audio with the WebStreamer?

Great tool.

Thanks

I believe VLC is case sensitive so try lower case mp3/asf. Give that a try.

Thanks, I finally figured that out. I guess it still doesn't launch WMP just VLC. If I manually launch WMP I can get it to work.

Really great additon to the web abilites GBPVR already has. I like it.
