Mobile-setting is called mobile.dft and localLAN-setting is called locallan.str

Whats the difference between .dft and .str ?

I made some tests:

localLAN - great quality

#transcode{vcodec=MP4V,vb=3072,scale=0,8,acodec=mp3,ab=96,channels=1,deinterlace}

WLAN - only jittering - not usable

#transcode{vcodec=MP4V,vb=384,scale=0,5,acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=1,deinterlace}

Mobile --- not as good as localLAN, but usable (better than my own test LAN 1)

#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=220,acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=1,width=320,height=196}

own profile-tests:

LAN 1 --- big pixels, some jittering in upper screen

#transcode{vcodec=MP4V,vb=1024,scale=0,5,acodec=mp3,ab=96,channels=1,deinterlace}

LAN 2 --- big pixels, better than LAN 1, no jittering

#transcode{vcodec=MP4V,vb=1024,scale=0,8,acodec=mp3,ab=96,channels=1,deinterlace}

LAN 3 - jittering - often paused - to big for streaming over wlan - not usable

#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}

LAN 4 - great quality - but often paused - to big for streaming over wlan

#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=3072,scale=0.8,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}

Mobile 1 - great quality - but often paused - to big for streaming over wlan - not usable

#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=440,acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=1,width=640,height=392}

Maybe the paused streaming comes from high cpu usage on server between 50-90 and not from slow wlan connection% ? I don´t know.

CPU-usage on Mobile is 30-50%

CPU-usage on Mobile 1 is 50-95%

Is there any setting in vlc where i can watch the kb/s of the current stream? So i can test which setting would be usable on mobile connections.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajocius:
great testing!!!

I heard that h264 is quite loading CPU, this is what is causing jittering. VLC is not able to transcode live stream at those settings

They are just 2 extensions which WMDR uses to distinguish default-profile (.dft) from other streaming-profiles (.str).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmca:
Hi,

Sorry if this is a stupid question but does anyone know if this app can be adapted for use with the spiderbox hd.

thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
Hi,

is it an Enigma-based receiver?

If it is, it might be possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
WMDR Beta 0.7 for 320x240 devices has been released

Although with some delay, I have now uploaded WMDreamRemote Beta 0.7 for 320x240 devices.

Just like the other version, it comes with 3 example streaming profiles. However, please note that the examples are based on tests using HD2. Since devices running 320x240 are probably less powerful than the HD2, you might need to experiment a lot in order to find a good "sout" for your device.

Read carefully the first and second post in this thread for instructions. There is also a part with some Tips and Tricks and Troubleshooting.

Please send your feedback, either it works or not.

Good luck.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
Hi,

really nice App.

But I am having some problems with starting streaming. I dont know if this is already known.

I am trying to start the streaming from outside. Everything else is working fine.

If I use a DynDNS in Box configuration to remotly control the dreambox and configure the streaming profile with dyndns too there is a problem with starting the streaming server because the app is trying to start the stream with the ip configured in box profile and in this case this is the DynDNSAlias but it should be a local IP (dreambox).

Thanks for this great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
In the streaming-profile, there is a checkbox named LocalLAN. If you are accesing your Dreambox and VLC-server from the outside (i.e through your router and portforwarding), then the checkbox named LocalLan must be unchecked and of course you need a DynDNS-address in the VLC IP(ext)-field (or a static IP-address).

WMDR comes with some example-profiles:

-You could use "Away" as an example in the Box-profiles (modifying it according to your needs). Make sure you use this profile by either making it Default or by clicking the button "Sel".

-In the streaming-profiles, you can use either WLAN.str or Mobile.str as an example (modifying it according to your needs). You will see that these profiles have LocalLAN unchecked. (If you want to test DynDNS from within your LocalLan, you can enable the LocalLan checkbox.) Then make sure you are using this streaming profile while at the same time you are using your modified "Away"-profile in the Box-Profile.

Of course, you need to make sure that you have configured your router with a correct portforwarding (see 2nd post in this thread).

Please let me know if this helped you to resolve your problem.

Btw, which version are you using? The normal one or the version for 320x240. I am asking since I had to modify the streaming-profile interface in the 320x240 version and while doing it, maybe I managed to screw something up :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatbrainstorm:
I have a question.

Can we stream without a computer?

Can we stream over the VLC Plugin in the dreambox?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
No, thats not possible.

You need a full VLC-Version. The Dreambox-Plugin is only for playing videos.

I have some problems on my notebook:

On desktop-computer streaming works very good. I found out, that Windows-Firewall-Service has to be startet - otherwise there is no connection.

On my notebook, it doesn´t work. I startet Windows-Firewall (only service, Firewall itself is off) - but no access.

Do you know, which services i need to start? I´m using Windows 7. I stopped some services, but i don´t know the standard-settings of Windows 7.

Is there a list with the service, which are set on automatic, manuell and so on by default on a new Windows installation?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
@tileke

thanks for the reply.

But I don´t have any problems with configuring the profiles.

I have already configured the away-profile with my Dyndns. This is working fine. I can switch channels and control the dreambox.

Than I configure the streaming-profile (mobile). with my dyndns (for VLC Server). But now the app can´t know the local ip of my dreambox. The app is trying do start the stream on vlc with the dyndns configured in the away-profile. You can check this if you use a away profile with dyndns and than using a streaming profile with dyndns (without locallan). With this configuration the VLC server try´s to connect to the dreambox with the ip in the away profile. And in this case this is the dyndns.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
Sorry for the 2nd post but maybe it is easier to understand.

My configurations profiles:

Box:

Default: Yes

Name: away

Enigma: Enigma2

IP: DynDNS

Port: 88 (port forwarded)

User: root

Pass: pass

Streaming:

Using Dreambox-profile: away

Name: Mobile.dft

Def. Prof: Yes

Loc. LAN: No

VLC IP (Loc): Local VLC Server IP (My Desktop IP)

VLC IP (Ext): Dyndns

VLC Dst: 3333 (Streaming port forwared)

VLC Telnet Port: 221 (forwarded)

VLC Telnet PW: telnetpw

VLC Sleep: 200

Ok this is my configuration. And the problem now is that if I start the stream the VLC server needs to connect to my dreambox to open the stream and than transcode.

But with this configuration the app is passing the Dyndns as my Dreambox IP.

The VLC server trys to connect to my dreambox with the IP configured in the Box-profiles. And this is in this case my Dyndns.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
Did you try to input your dyndns-address into both ip-fields?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
@Bib_x:

thanks for the reply.

This is not the Problem. I think the problem with this configuration is that there is the local dreambox ip missing.

With this configuration the VLC server try´s to connect to the dreambox with my dyndns. So I get the error:

Can not open http://mydyndns:8001/1:0:19:EF75:3F9:1:C00000:0:0:0:

I think the problem is that the app is passing the dreambox IP from the box-profile IP field. But if I control my dreambox from outside using the away profile the dreambox IP is missing because I have to use the dyndns in this field.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
I am in the office now. I was just watching Euronews (using my IPBox and VLC-server at home) in WMDR using my office's WIFI-connection and everything worked great. So to me, it looks like it works.

In any case, I am bit busy now (have a meeting soon) but I will look at your question better when I get home this evening.

In the meantime, can you let me know which version are you using? The normal one or the version for 320x240. I am asking since I had to modify the streaming-profile interface in the 320x240 version and while doing it, maybe I managed to screw something up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
I am using the normal version. And I am trying to connect with my mobile (3G) without wifi.

If you look to my configuration above you can see that it is everything configured to access the dreambox and the vlc server from outside.

I can control the dreambox.

But for streaming there is the local dreambox ip missing because I have to put the dyndns in the box-profile ip-field.

Thanks for you great work and you don´t have to check this today.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
In the WMDR-folder on the device, there is a file called WMDR.asx. Can you copy here the text therein. In this way, I have clear picture of your situation.

Are you sure about your portforwarding-settings in your router that your VLC Telnet Port(Ext) and VLC DST Port are pointing to your Local VLC Server IP?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
@mkbm

Ok, finally some minutes off.

this definitely does NOT look right. Do you see this error in the log created by VLC? You are apparently using Enigma2 and maybe there is an error in the code. This part works for Enigma1. Unfortunately I am unable to access my code in this moment since I am at work but I will double-check this when I get home. If the code generates the below quoted string, then it is a bug and I will try to fix it soonest.

In the meantime, perhaps you can overcome the problem by portforwarding the port 8001 to your Dreambox IP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
This is the file:

<ASX version="3">

<Entry>

<ref href="http://mydyndns:9999" />

</Entry>

</ASX>

Yes portforwarding is working fine.

I can control my dreambox from outside.

I can watch streams from outside (configured manually without wmdreamremote)

I can access the VLC server with telnet from outside.

I am doing the following things:

I select the away box-profile (with dyndns as IP-Address).

Connection is fine. I can control everything, load bouqets...

Going to streaming-profiles:

Select mobile profile. With dyndns as VLC IP (ext). And

Save profile.

After that going to Bouqets and click on Stream.

TCPMP is starting and trying to connect to http://mydydns:9999.

After a few seconds I get error message that it can not connect.

Ok so I take a look at my desktop to see if there is a error message on my vlc server.

And there I see that the vlc server can not start streaming.

The app connected successful to the vlc server.

The problem is that the app gives this url to the vlc server:

http://mydyndns:8001/1:0:19:EF75:3F9:1:C00000:0:0:0:

And normally it should be the local dreambox ip and not my dyndns.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
Ah ok sorry for the confusing. Yes i am using enigma2.

I also have an enigma1 box but only tried with enigma2.

Maybe it´s really only a little bug with the enigma2 part of the code.

This is the error message I get from outside. And as i wrote i think that normally it should be the local ip-address of my dreambox and not my dyndns.

It would be very nice if you can check this but everything else is working fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
Hmm, I thought VLC Dst Port was 3333 and not 9999. In a previous message you wrote:

Did you set up portforwarding for port 3333 or 9999?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
Sorry this was my mistake. I have edited the port here I am using a totally diferent port. Portforwarding is working fine. The port in the asx file is the port i have configured in the profile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ice_coffee:
im going to check on a different forum if it would be possible to get linux version of VLC running as a background app on the dreambox !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
I think this is not able, because dreambox cpu is very slow compared to a windows computer. So the transcoding will be too slow on a dreambox.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
@mkbm

Try to do the following as a temporary solution until I have verified my code and, if necessary, corrected it

Keep your current profiles:

Box:

Default: Yes

Name: away

Enigma: Enigma2

IP: DynDNS

Port: 88 (port forwarded)

User: root

Pass: pass

Streaming:

Using Dreambox-profile: away

Name: Mobile.dft

Def. Prof: Yes

Loc. LAN: No

VLC IP (Loc): Local VLC Server IP (My Desktop IP)

VLC IP (Ext): Dyndns

VLC Dst: 3333 (Streaming port forwared)

VLC Telnet Port: 221 (forwarded)

VLC Telnet PW: telnetpw

VLC Sleep: 200

This will create an asx-file with:

<ref href="http://mydyndns:3333" />

which TCPMP will use for connecting and to obtain the stream

Now, if there is indeed the mentioned bug we discovered earlier, then a string as follows will be generated:

This is wrong but probably you can resolve the problem temporarily by portforwarding the port 8001 to the IP-Address of your Dreambox (just like you did with your webif-port 88 in box-profile using above example-configurations).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
@tilleke

yes it has generetad this string

and with the portforwarding for 8001 it is working fine.

Of course that is a little unsecure but for testing it is working fine.

Thanks.

I move into my flat next month, was going to get a dreambox and this would have went together nicely. The screen controls looked great (youtube)

BUT...sods law...im gonna get one now they are going to nagra3. *****in
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramco1337:
I am getting some kind of error I can't fix.

The remote control works well. But with streaming it's another story.

When I hit stream I get this error:

An error occured on sub__main_btnstream_click.

....

What I have noticed is that when I use LocalLan this error is not showing instantly but with a delay when hitting stream, But with the Mobile.str profile the error appears instantly.

This problem does not occure when I switch channels on boquets.

I got the deafault configruations in the streaming profiles. Password is admin in both profiles. I got TPCMP, VLC installed, I did add interface telnet on VLC.

When I hit stream TPCMP doesn't do anything not even showing. I got windows xp 64bit, using wifi etc.

Plz help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajocius:
did you check the box "Loc. LAN" ??? this boxed needs to be checked if you are inside your LAN, so that WMDR knows it needs to use local IP address instead of external.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
Hi,

I know....in this moment, the error-messages are rather vague. Next version will improve that with some more precise information.

-Have a look at the suggestion made by ajocius.

-did you try this (from Troubleshooting-section)?

-Did you associate TCPMP with the extension ASX? See Tips and Tricks.

-Which version of WMDR are you using? The normal one or the one for 320x240?

Please let me know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimmcooper:
1) install VLC on your computer which will act as the VLC (streaming) -server. Then under the menu, select "View" in the English version (not sure since I have it in Italian) and then select "Add Interface" and finally you select "Add Telnet-interface". If you haven't changed anything, the default password for Telnet is admin and the port in use is 4212. That's it. VLC must be running to get streaming working. There are options to install VLC as a Windows Service or you can create a bat-file to be executed upon launch of your VLC-server. I guess similar options are availabe on Linux and MAC as well.

can someone help me configure my vlc ? where is menu button? im running vlc 0.9.9
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajocius:
It is not a menu button, it is just top line of application window, where you see menu

One of the Menu items you should see will be View. Select that, then Add Interface, and then Telnet Interface
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimmcooper:
im blind i cant find it!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
I am using version 1.05. Maybe the location of this option has changed compared to the version you are using (0.9.9). Otherwise try to open VLC (with Telnet-interface enabled) by using the command-prompt. Go back a few pages or posts and you will see a post from ajocius where he showed how to do it.

Or upgrade your version of VLC to 1.05 as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimmcooper:
thanx install 1.05

What version of WMDR are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimmcooper:
everything works perfect!the only prob that i have is that when i close tcmp the streaming from db to pc keeps running and i cant switch to another channel from different transporter i have dm800 enigma 4.6
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
I think in that case you have to kill the stream by your own (Extras --> Kill stream).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
Hi,

when you exit from TCPMP, TCPMP is actually iconised (hidden - it's still running in TaskManager). Then when you change channel in WMDR and click Stream again, WMDR kills current stream and starts a new one. That's why I find it strange you have problems changing channel. Are you proceeding as mentioned above?

Note: Since some people wanted to use, WMDR for changing channel while watching stream on PC, I decided that WMDR when exiting should not kill stream. However, if you want to kill stream, you can do it in Extra --> Kill Streaming.

Next version will have an option so you can decide if WMDR upon exiting should kill stream or not.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
I think his problem is that he is using a DM800 (enigma2).

When you start watching a stream the dreambox activates the transponder lock.

With this activated you only can switch to channels on the same transponder while the stream is activated.

You can not switch to another channel with the dreambox remote.

In this case you have to kill the stream manually to switch to another channel.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
interesting...thanks for this information which I didn't know. Is this particular for Enigma2?

WMDR works like this:

1) user select channel

2) WMDR swaps to this channel

3) WMDR connects to VLC, kills any open streams and start procedure for new streaming

4) TCPMP is launched

5) user select another channel

6) WMDR swaps to this new channel

7) WMDR connects to VLC, kills any open streams and start procedure for new streaming

etc....

Since the stream is still in use when WMDR selects new channel, this will create an error. Did I get this right?

EDIT: if above assumption is correct, I can resolve this by killing the stream before WMDR selects new channel. Creates more network-traffic but it shouldn't be any problem.

@mkbm: you've got a PM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
Icon designer?

I quote Bib_x suggestion.

Any Icon Designer who would like to give me a helping hand with an icon for WMDreamRemote? The only request I have is that the abbreviation WMDR appears somehow in the icon.

Please PM me for details of pixel-size and so on.

Then, we could post the proposals/samples here and you users decide which one to use...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mkbm:
This is correct. If the stream is still active you cannot switch to any channel from other transponder. You will get an error message on TV (No tuner available). While the stream is activated you can watch and switch to channels on the same transponder. This means that you can watch different channel streams if the channels are on the same transponder. For example watching a channel on tv and a different channel on pc with stream. But only if they are on the same transponder.

You have this problem because the dreambox is locking to the transponder while streaming. If you have a second tuner (ex. DM8000) inside than the dreambox can switch to any channel without problems and without killing the stream.

Enigma1 doesn´t lock to the transponder while streaming. Here they kill the stream when you switch to other channels. Enigma1 only lock to transponder while recording any tv program.

So I think for the DM800 users it might be better to kill the stream before switch to other channels if you have opend a stream before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramco1337:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spoofy:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajocius:
what is foxtel??? WMDR is designed to work with Linux based sat receivers (Dreambox, IP box, etc)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spoofy:
It is a HD sat/cable receiver in Australia, i don't know if it is Linux based. Have a look at this link and let me know what you think.

www.foxtel.com.au

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilleke:
Hi,

I doubt I would be able to support Foxtel's receivers. Normally all Satellite/TV operators have their own "proprietary" decoders - just like Foxtel is mentioning on their web-page - and they are normally "closed" decoders for obvious reasons (firmware, encryption etc).

If you have a look at Australian Satellite-forums, maybe you can find out if anyone is watching Foxtel using Dreambox or alikes. If yes, then you could get a Dreambox (or another Enigma-based receiver) and you should be able to use WMDR, handle recordings and watch Foxtel.

Profiles are not saved correctly

Tilleke, THis is a great release, good work Man!!

Now we can compete with these apple-Obsessed-maniacs :)

I do have one issue for now, I created two profiles but when i shut the app and go back to it all parameters are all empy?

Bug or user error?

THanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajocius:
once profile is created, separate file is saved withing WMDR directory on the phone. If you refer to Box profiles, they are in settings.txt file. Streaming profiles are with extension str (default profile has extension dft). I have been using profiles a lot, have not noticed this behaviour. Can you see files with profile name and extension as described above?

Hi,

first of all many thanks for this useful soft release...i was lookin for long time ago....:).

Actually i can connect to my Enigma1(DB 500S), and load all channels....i use home profile. But for the streaming i can only get the sound working but the image is "crazy coloured"...i use lan config...even when i put video at 512 instead of 3078....same result vary bad green screen.(port 1234 forwarded to pc)

i tried for a day...nothing:(...seem to be the only unlucky here:mad:.

if someone can help should be great...many thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajocius:
try mobile profile. It is called mobile, but still delivers good quality.

Otherwise, it would help to know what wm device you use, are you within WiFi ?
