Приветствую, Tomáš
can you watch hdtv channels on Popcorn with vdr 174 ?
Hi,
I want to ask you about actual state of streamdev-server for NMT Popcornhour (A-110). I have vdr-1.7.0 and streamdev-0.3.4 with patch patpmt_first_v5.diff.
Streamimg to Popcornhour is practically O.K. (without image failure), but sometimes popcornhour freezes and hard restart is needed. And sometimes it takes a long time at buffering (between select channel and start playing). VLC clients works fine.
I want to ask you about some additional patches for streamdev or some advices for solve this issues.
Thank you
Regards Tomas S.

Can you post a quick review of how using popcorn clients with VDR works, with screenshots etc?
Better screenshots - What you get with PCH

Hi Goga,
I am planing upgrade to vdr-1.7.4 this week, so I dont know actually.
But I am using vdr-1.7.0 and there is possible to watch HDTV channels (for example astra 23.5E Nova HD, Eurosport HD).
One problem is random SIGSEGV on vdr with streamdev-server and sc plugin, but it can be solved with never-end while loop :) It happens while switching channels - clients are VLC or popcornhour. So bug is probably on the vdr side.
Big problem is randoming popcornhour freezing while watching stream - it needs turn popcornhour off and on again.
But I have solved long buffering times on popcornhour - i have created custom html page and in hyperlinks must be with VOD attribute: <A href="..." VOD>...</A>
Regards Tomas

My setup is VDR 1.6.0 patch level 2, which is the latest stable system AFAIK. I use DVB-C but it does not matter.

I don't see such problems on my setup.

My PCH A100 does not freeze. It plays nicely without any judder (in contrast to VDPAU thread - I had to mention :) if you set 1080p50. This is how HD should work. Perhaps next good option would be the Dreambox DM8000.
But I have solved long buffering times on popcornhour - i have created
custom
html page and in hyperlinks must be with VOD attribute:
This works but you need to maintain channel list by hand. Streamdev with patch already provide VOD-tag on link. Without it you PCH would not show the stream. Just enter PCH webservices: http://%5Byour_vdr_ip%5D:3000/TS/
A couple of times I've been mentioning that for PCH it would be nicer to have proper interface to use. Streamdev's default works ok, but it does not provide any EPG info or channel grouping. There is a PCH application to do that but IMO it works wrong way, install a application to PCH to show EPG, when you could use the web browser for that. And that application does not show channel entries if the channel does not have EPG!

For popcornhour the CVS version of streamdev is required. You won't get far with streamdev-0.3.4. Among others, the HTML channels lists of the CVS version include the VOD attribute.
Cheers, Frank
