webStreamer - an integrated Web streaming solution

[sgilani]

I installed videoarchive and still nothing. When I run GBPVR I see my video folders and all videos inside and am able to watch them. If I can do that then I would believe that they are in the database.

Right now, webStreamer displays the recordings that are in the database; things that you have recorded from TV. In the future, I hope to include support for streaming files out of your Video Library as well (this is what you are looking for)

At least for now, what I will do is to show recordings in-progress on the streaming page.. so you could do what you describe; start a recording over the web, and then start streaming that recording.

This works for me, it's the same effect as i'm after and it's easier than splitting hairs over what's effectively the same result.

It's the result that's important

If it were integrated into the web admin then you can see that there really only would be any need to add one button to the record dialogue [Record and stream].

Don't worry, it'll get integrated into EWA and things will work much more seamlessly.

Just got this setup tonight. After a couple little firewall issues, its working perfectly.

Just set up! works like a dream on local lan (have yet to try over the interweb).

Superb app!

(just needed to let vlc thru server firewall).

Thanks a lot

Glad it's working out for you guys.. the whole time I was worried that no one would really care about this

Don't think that. Its a great addition to GBPVR. I used to Use ORB but I really like a native way to do things.

Its a great feature.

Serious? It's great, just get it all sorted to add the playing back of a "live TV" thing as suggested and it's sorted, oh and the greater granularity of bitrate.

lol no problem about the bitrates; the new build will let you put in your own bitrate options.. you'll be able to give them whatever name you want, and set the video and audio bitrates to your liking.

can't wait for new release...32k audio sounds terrible!
also ac3 worked for me in asf and asf seems to be extremely efficient as that's the only mux i could stream 256k with succesfully.. will there also be resolution adjustability? also was wondering if we could get access to use a different encoder,as wmedia encoder and real producer do quite well streaming live from command-line, and are very efficient and produce totally compatible files [for their respective players] and ati cards now have wmv accelleration built in
just a thought...as i used to stream wmv's over dialup! so i know at 128k it looks great..and they're free..
[oh and i think they also let you control the stream natively, if i remember correctly]
also,wishing the config button were at the top! lol
