Stream TV on a N800
 

Greetings Everyone:


It is possible to Stream live TV on Cellphones and PDAs.

Thanks to this website: http://www.makayama.com/

Someone has stated that its possible to stream TV on an N800 with Orb.

After trying very hard to make my TV Tuner work and failed, meaning I can't use Orb.

Then I found this Website: http://www.livetv.ws/

But it doesn't work on the N800.

So why can't there be an Application, or Website that has TV Channels from many different Countries and would work on an N800?

If youtube works on an N800, Streaming Live TV should work too.

Does anyone know if any developer is working on an application for the N800?

Regards Robert

Tunapie seems to stream really nice, but has lots of bugs.
and freezes at some point on the N800.
maybe submitting it to the maemo wishlist would be a good thing.
All I did was compile it to try it out.
not sure how the developer did it, but all the shoutcast channels were there.
and all the ones I tried out worked.

Gmyth might be a good place to start. It is for mythtv backend streaming to the 770/800.

Re: Stream TV on a N800
 

I'm also interested in streaming mythtv content to my n800.

There is also a youtube video of streaming live tv with videocenter.

Has anyone documentation on how to set this up?
This would really rock.

Re: Stream TV on a N800
 

Yes this is actually one of main reasons i bought the n800. But i haven't had much success nor time to work on it.

Here's the blog from the creator i believe.
Theres a how-to for gmyth but its a long process.
I couldnt get it to work for some reason.
It was late when i tried.
I think it had to do with My server being a 64bit install.

Re: Stream TV on a N800
 

I also tried the gmyth howto but could not get it to work. I probably just have to wait for .debs and an updated version of videocenter to support mythtv.

Re: Stream TV on a N800
 

Greetings:

Can I ask a favor from someone.
I am not a Linux programer, and after reading about MythTV, I still don't know how to install it on my N800.
I have installed VideoCenter on my N800.
Can someone post a simple step by step process on how to install MythTV on a N800.
This would benefit many readers here.

Regards Robert

Mythtv will not be on your n800. It goes on your PC and runs as a server. The videocenter will be the client on the n800 but currently it does not have the mythtv client because of some bug. It will be added.

But Mythtv was originally developed for Linux but i believe it has been ported to windows not really sure. Might try doing a search on it. But even if it is on windows i doubt the Gmyth library's (which are needed for streaming) are available for windows.

i just got myself a slingbox....i cant believe there's no slingplayer client for the n800 yet...anyone get the n800 going with slingbox??...(besides another post of a "workaround" which is not really the real thing)

Re: Stream TV on a N800
 

I'm afraid there is not enough interest from Slingbox owners to create the appearance of a real need for a Slingplayer for N800! (more probably not many Slingbox owners who also have the N800?) I tried to create some stir on the Sling Community forums as have a few others but no sign of any emerging player for our device. I hope that Sling Media will eventually come through. I just now finished watching my security dvrs and looking at the local news in North Carolina as I sit here in Reykjavik Iceland using my laptop. It would be even better to use the N800 for quick looks at the home front.

Re: Stream TV on a N800
 

darn...i wish someone would come up with a hacked player for slingbox then...and some way to cut through all their encryption nonsense...geez...they must be afraid the TV industry will destroy the company...that's the only logic for the encryption thing...they obviously considered that move very strategically.....if only we could get at that stream coming from the slingbox...hmmm

Re: Stream TV on a N800
 

To stream mthtv content to the n800 there are .deb for feisty on
http://gmyth.sourceforge.net/wiki/in.../GMythStreamer

I could install the .debs and I can list channel on my n800 with gmyth-ls and I can grab video with gmyth-cat but this file does not play on my n800 with mplayer. On my desktop it plays fine.

How can I live transcode tv?
I`m using an analog hauppauge tv card this should not be the problem.

How can I check if the trancoding process is working?
EDIT: Do I have to start gstreamer somehow?

Re: Stream TV on a N800
 

GMythStream is installed as a daemon. To start/stop:

# /etc/init.d/gmsd start
# /etc/init.d/gmsd stop
The logs are saved at /var/log/gms.log

Re: Stream TV on a N800
 

Thanks mrp

I used to use gms.py directly but I guess its better to use the daemon.

But I still get this error:

Is it possible that my processor is just too slow?
I have a amd athlon 64 3000+

Re: Stream TV on a N800
 

I hav gotten this to mostly work now. i can connect to the mysql database and retrieve the channels. only my streaming doesn't work. gmyth-cat does work. when i test gmencoder with

I get a gui and nothing else happens.
heres the console output
then it just sits there and does nothing.
theres alot of configuration files missing where do i get them or how do i make them if this is even the problem?
