I am wrestling since three weeks with UBUstream, to get it to work on MVP. I do get UBUstream only to work in list mode via the PC console sofar.
I have configured it for using VLC, because that is needed to get it to run ultimately through MVP. I have followed the instructions from UBU, I have read the different threads on UBUstream and external recorder. I came to the conclusion that ExternalRecorder is probably the problem.
For a non-techies like myself the documentation is not very helpfull. On the wiki it says "Launch GB-PVR config, and add the âExternal Recorder Pluginâ". I do not see how I can install this under plugins.
I did copy the DLL to the plugin subdirectory, assuming the author meant to say that. Next I added a new Capture source (was this what the author meant with adding plugin?) with 'External Recorder Plugin (IRecordingSourceConfig..)' EPGSource 'none', and 'no channelChanger required'. In the settings I filled in the example configuration from the WIKI documentation. Unfortunately the documentation says nothing further about how to use this plugin. So I guessed that I had to add one Channel which I called VLC.
As the documentation says that you can use this plugin for recording videastreams. I started GBPVR where I selected manual recording of channel VLC. Nothing happens except for an empty .mpg file being created.
Is there anybody out there who could update the ExternalRecorder wiki, to prevent others loosing a lot of time on this, and help me possibly out of this problem.
