Webtv 0.2.1​

This add-on allows you to watch the tv stream from the Cuberevo over an web interface.

INSTALL:
Copy var/bin form the archive to /var/bin on the box.
Copy /var/www from the archive to the webif folder on your box (for example /var/www).

Make sure all script files and binarys are executable! (/var/bin, cgi-bin)

USAGE:
Surf to
Code: 
http://boxip/webtv/

It's tested on Firefox and Internet Explorer 7.
Javascript is required.

Above the video frame you have the basic controls to switch the channels.
The addon loads all channels in your favourites list.

REQUIREMENTS:
- At least firmware R8264 is required!

CAN HD CHANNELS BE STREAMED?
Streaming works for 720p channels, but for 1080i there is not enough network bandwidth.
Those are my test results, also try it for yourselfs.

KNOWN PROBLEMS:
- VLC 0.9 for Windows has a bug in the plugin, its not working. If you have problems, try vlc 0.8.6i
- Radio programs cannot be streamed at the moment.

LICENSE:
All files are under the GPL.

CREDITS:
The server side code for the streaming is based on the streamts app.

RELEASE 0.2:
------------------
- Stream is read directly from hardware, instead of timeshift files (thanks to soon and kneubi from denktenk)
- Video stream does not stop after channel switching. It's now also convenient to open the stream directly in vlc without the webinterface.
(This feature does not work in mplayer.)
- The stream starts playing directly after opening the webif

NEW RELEASE 0.2.1:
------------------
- 720p channels should play fine now
- renamed some files to avoid collissions with DGS webif

Enjoy it!

Thanks, works really fine. Had some Problems at first, but after deleting everything and copying the newest Version to the box with 755 for each file and directory the Plugin works just great.

Will it be possible in the future to watch from another tuner than the people in front of the TV?

The best plugin for the ipbox. Thanks to the developer.

It does not work stable yet, especially with pay-tv channels, but this hopefully will be improved soon?


Two more questions:

- Can I make Full-Screen?
- Is there an option to choose a subchannel (e.g. Premiere Sport requires to change to a subchannel to watch a match)


Thank you.

And one more question: Is it possible in the near future to watch at least SD channels outside the network, e.g. in a hotel? Or is the bandwith / hardware to weak for this !?

Click to expand...

And please guys use cuberevo chat forum to discuss this or any other plugin, tool etc. It will be easier for everyone to find latest version in this thread if there is no chat.

Network bug

Does any of the new releases fix the network bug on the cuberevo?
Or do anyone know of any workarounds or plans to fix this?
