Hi!

Thanks for your answer, streaming with vlc works great!

I still am stuck with the "Channel locked (recording)!" message, though. It appears whenever I want to record something:

Jul 5 17:28:47 [vdr] connect from 127.0.0.1, port 35607 - accepted Jul 5 17:28:47 [vdr] timer 1 (109 1705-1750 'Johann Lafers Culinarium') added Jul 5 17:28:47 [vdr] timer 1 (109 1705-1750 'Johann Lafers Culinarium') start Jul 5 17:28:47 [vdr] record /data/incoming/filme/Fernsehen/Johann_Lafers_Culinarium/2005-07-05.17:05.99. 99.rec Jul 5 17:28:47 [vdr] closing SVDRP connection Jul 5 17:28:47 [vdr] ERROR: Channel locked (recording)!

I have looked through the code and found the lines in player.c, but I have no clue what this means.

void cControl::Attach(void) { if (control && !control->attached && control->player && !control->player->IsAttached()) { if (cDevice::PrimaryDevice()->AttachPlayer(control->player)) control->attached = true; else { Interface->Error(tr("Channel locked (recording)!")); Shutdown(); } } }

Could you please give me a hint where I have to look or how to debug this?

Thank you! Ben Adler

...

• If I understood correctly, the streamdev-server just streams the

whole mpeg stream over the lan. Are there solutions for sending the stream over the internet with a much smaller datarate?

Use vlc to connect to streamdev on the localhost and transcode out...

vlc http://127.0.0.1:3000/PS/$1 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=512,acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2,de interlace}:std{access=http,mux=asf,url=:1234}'

Adjust bitrates accordingly...

Regards, C.
