Hi,

 

I am trying to stream from VDR to my Mediagate 800 Network Media Player using the Streamdev Server plugin.

 

The MG 800 successfully plays streamed content from the internet, but has problems with a stream from the streamdev server.

 

The URL I am using from the player is identical to one that mplayer can play, e.g. ‘http://192.168.0.4:3000/1’.

 

When streamdev receives this it switches to the channel (the dish moves if I am currently viewing a channel from a different satellite), however the media player immediately indicates that it cannot play the stream, and streamdev simultaneously closes the connection.

 

I have applied the patpmt_first_v5.diff patch prepared to fix a similar problem with the Popcornhour NMT which is a similar device to the MG 800, but to no avail.

 

Going by messages in syslog I believe that the problem is somewhere in the negotiation between the MG 800 and the streamdev server which breaks down before the server starts the streamer, but this is conjecture atm.

 

Because the MG 800 is effectively a black box I am going to have to attack this from the VDR/Streamdev end. What additional trace can I get out of streamdev (and how) that will help get to the bottom of this.

 

All help appreciated.

 

Mark.
