I have downloaded vdr-upnp and will give it a try but I see (please correct me if I am wrong) two points of concern
a) It works only for live tv, not vdr .TS recordings (which I am most interested in streaming to my xbox 360) b) My channels.conf has over 1000 channels, neatly divided in groups. The vdr-upnp documentation states you can exclude certain channels from the plugin, but this could take for ages as I would only be interested in streaming a few channels, can this be configured to exclude everything by default and only include a few that I specify?
Also back to FUPPES I notice it has the following entries in the config file:
<file ext="mpg"> <ext>mpeg</ext> <type>VIDEO_ITEM</type> <mime_type>video/mpeg</mime_type> </file>
<file ext="vob"> <type>VIDEO_ITEM</type> <mime_type>video/x-ms-vob</mime_type> </file>
<file ext="vdr"> <type>VIDEO_ITEM</type> <mime_type>video/x-extension-vdr</mime_type> <transcode enabled="true"> <ext>vob</ext> <mime_type>video/x-ms-vob</mime_type> </transcode> </file>
But I think that refers to PS recordings (as it certainly was not working out of the box) No mention of H.264 in the config file...
I have added the following :
<file ext="ts"> <type>VIDEO_ITEM</type> <mime_type>video/mpeg-ts</mime_type> <transcode enabled="true"> <transcoder>ffmpeg</transcoder> <ext>vob</ext> <mime_type>video/x-ms-vob</mime_type> </transcode> </file>
should this work? (I am not at home to test at the moment)

I tried the vdr-upnp plugin yesterday and it actually takes ages. With ~5000 channels (mostly junk but I never have time to clean them) it takes ~20 minutes at each startup. Even with a reduced channels.conf (100 channels) it takes too long for vdr to actually produce an image.
Bye
I feel sorry, that you were facing so many problems with the plugin. Actually, it is still very bugous and will take some time to fix them. If you are a programmer, feel free to help me improving it.
I will consider your idea to include a discard-all-but channel listing feature. Recordings (except H.264) are supported yet in version 0.0.2-alpha.
Back to FUPPES: I haven't ever used FUPPES, so I just can say that this should work. But I am not sure. Try it and you will "see".
