Hello all,
Is there a plugin for VDR (I use 1.7.1) that allows a windows based client to watch the channels remotely? What windows based clients can I use in that case?
Is there a network overhead for watching a stream? I mean if the stream is 5Mbit, will it take 5Mbit of my network or the traffic will take more? In case the client is used with a small window that can't show the whole picture, will the network load be reduced?
Thanks.
Hi
The best solution, at my opinion, is to use the plugin vomp under vdr and run the vompclient under windows, you will have access to channels, records and timers

Thanks. Nice project. I'll try to use it, few questions still bother me. What is MVP that that client was intended to use? Why creating its own GUI and not pass the output of VDR (with all the menus) on the network to the client as VLC and streamdev do it? Maybe the intention was to pass only DVB traffic...
Anyone tried to use the VOMP client as an output device on Linux instead of xine or softdevice?
Thanks!
Best regards

Hauppauge MediaMVP - small hardware device that was supposed to use its own Hauppauge Windows software as its 'server' - the vomp plugins allow VDR to be the server for these devices.

The vomp windows client seems to be a software implementation of the MediaMVP hardware, so hence it's using the same protocols :) There is no standard method by which to 'pass all the menus on the network'...
Anyone tried to use the VOMP client as an output device on Linux instead of xine or softdevice?
Yes, works fine. I use it from time to time with a full-featured card. Mainly I just stream a single channel with VLC, tho :)

Any ideas if it can decode MPEG4 and playback mp3?

Hi
No it does not play H264 .. but latest release of mpv plugin can play mp3 trough media menu .. never test it personnaly but heard it work.
If you want to play H264 and/or HD content, this is not a good solution and you cannot consider use a light client to do that

There is a good solution but it needs work. Popcorn Hour (and compatible) networked media tanks can replay SD/HD content, on there has been work ongoing to fix vdr-streamdev to provide proper TS-stream.
PCH is light client, some people has measured 12W power on HDD spun up and playing stream. PCH is a Linux based settop-box where you can get access to shell level and even crosscompile programs with toolchains. Box is about 27x13x3cm. HDD is optional but you should install it for best benefit.
(http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/index.php?pluginoption=catalog&ta... info&item_id=6&main_id=0)
What is needed is Vomp-like or VDRadmin-am-like user interface for streams and files. It would make PCH as a top alternative of todays front-end for VDR, and in general a front end to all media you have.
For GB-PVR there is already some work done. http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardware/NMT
With this device you can discard HTPC's at once unless you do web browsing with your TV-set.

The Hauppauge MediaMVP is a small settop box.
Why creating its own GUI and not pass the output of VDR (with all the menus) on the network to the client as VLC and streamdev do it?
Because it is faster to create a text GUI on the box, instead of transferring the OSD over the wire.
Maybe the intention was to pass only DVB traffic...

I am using it with the MediaMVP box, and LOVE it. Recently looked at the Windows version, and it was quite usable as well. The Qt port is very early, but might already be usable (not tested).

thanks a lot for that tip. I tried it and now I can watch my recordings and live view from my windows PC :) Great software!

One option is the vomp plugin which has a client built to run under windows.
See: http://www.loggytronic.com/vomp.php
I've only had a quick play with the windows client but it worked reasonably well. I _think_ it will do both live TV and recordings but, as I say, it was a while back that I tried the windows client (I regularly use the MediaMVP client, though, and it works really well).
Other options might be streamdev and vlc?
Cheers,
Laz
VLC runs on *nix and Windows, I've read where streamdev is combined with vlc enables the stream to be multicast.

I've decided to use VLC with streamdev, works fine for now. Not sure about multicast, it works with unicast streams, but since I have only one remote client it doesn't matter for me.
Thanks everybody for replies.
