(To maintain unique link names it is best to use simple etc. If no thumbnail is available, that entry in the item must be omitted. You may also add your own of the rss in the header.Įach item in the rss must contain a, a unique a value to match the item to extract the. The rss header must contain both a, which will be used for the name of the menu folder, and the rss with a filename beginning with “LiveFeeds”, which will cause the groovy to be invoked. This allows a single generic groovy to be used for any set of live streams. *?/LiveFeeds.*? eg: and will process contained items that conform to the following rss template. The attached oovy once installed will be invoked by all feeds with urls of the form. This allows folders of live feeds to be created and maintained independent of the Serviio Console Live Stream Library and the folders then displayed in the Online Menu.

and I am no Windows developer either.RSS feeds may be created containing Live Streams but they must utilize a groovy to provide the live attribute to Serviio for each contained live stream item. I've been looking into implementing DLNA support with FUSE and MythTV on Linux a couple of years ago, but I ended up in sticking with Mediaportal and Windows clients anyway due to the poor support for TV-cards on Linux. Still (as mentioned previously in the thread) fast forwarding is probably the biggest issue with both alternatives, but with our own filesystem (from DLNA or in Dokan) we can present the newest data we have independent of where we are in the file (perhaps with a small delay).

For the DLNA server there are many to choose from. Using the XBMC-plugin as a wrapper for such a solution would probably give a head start with all the needed APIs to MP. Dokan, which is a Windows user mode file system that also has a FUSE APIfor it (Fuse4Win).Īnother solution is to actually alter a DLNA server to understan Mediaportal TV-server files and data (maybe easier) and fake the file-sizes (and other needed information). Under Linux I would do that with the FUSE-filesystem (userspace filesystem), where I can easily make a filesystem that presents whatever I need to show.

Making live TV work with DLNA is not that hard - really. It gives no options to select channels and when I open the stream, it starts from where the server was turned on, but it can be fast forwarded so that it's live. I imagine that this TV has the slowest processor of all our TV's, so I'll test it again tomorrow on the more powerful TV's upstairs. I've only tested it on one TV (people are sleeping in the rooms with the other TV's!) but the TV I have tested appeared to have no deinterlacing and also the picture was breaking up. I can then selected the stream on my TV's DLNA page. I installed Servio (free) and simply entered the Mediaportal Stream url into the Library>Online section in the Servio console settings. I will also test out Servio and TVersity.ĮDIT: I got this to kind of work pretty easily but it's not perfect. Thats using Nero MediaHome and an Xbox, but it shows that it's possible. I'm going to experiment with few things tomorrow - I saw this interesting page, which shows each channel on a TV tuner as a DLNA file which would be awesome: This would mean there would be no need for several rather expensive clients. So is anyone doing this yet? It would be a great feature as I suspect that a good proportion of TV's which are sold nowadays have DLNA functionality - all the TV's in my home have it.

The other possibility is recording a program and then using something like Serviio to DLNA the recorded file to the TV, but I'm not sure if this is only possible once the recording is finished, which obviously would be useless for watching live TV.Īny help or advice would be very gratefully received! I found this, which uses VLC and TVersity, which looks like it might do what I want, but looks like it goes through more programs than might be really necessary: I've thought of a couple of solutions and done a little research, but I thought I'd ask here, before I spend a lot of time on what might be a dead end. I want to be able to watch a single channel through DLNA on my TV without using any other devices. I occasionally get around this by using a Laptop connected to the TV, but I wondered if there was a way around this using DLNA. Hi, I'm a very happy user of mediaportal and I currently use it to serve TV around the home to various PC's and Laptops.
