im85288 1493 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Just for information I list the live tv backends and the equivalent OS they can be installed on: From what I have seen the focus is on Windows backends (though I did see a reference to Tvheadend earlier). For MediaBrowser to succeed out of the Windows world there needs to be backend support that does not run on Windows. 1.1 Linux Name DVB ATSC / QAM ISDB DTMB CableCard (US) IPTV Tvheadend Yes Yes ? ?

Danee 57 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Did you also see the reaction from tvheadend? It will also require the will from that side to be cross-platform. Btw, DVBLink supports IP tv and seems SAT>IP is missing from the tables. Edited February 18, 2014 by Danee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im85288 1493 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks It was just a copy and paste and meant to show the backends that are out there. I did see the reaction from tvheadend and although mostly negative it did say he would be willing to help someone else do it. I wasn't sure of the comment regarding the platform so interpreted that as meaning media browser is windows os focused. This was a problem for me too, but now the OSX and Linux servers are close to being available (I have been using it on OSX for well over a month now) it may give some more leeway to approach them again. In addition to that with Live TV in the pipeline for the Roku client one day that may add to the pull factor. Hopefully someone here will decide to create a plugin for tvheadend and approach the tvheadend devs for assistance where needed. There's more than just the one who commented on the initial request so all is not lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, give it another shot once the linux and osx releases are up on the website. until then best to lay low on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37063 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yes it is windows based but there was never a decision made where we said hey, let's just worry about windows back ends for now.

im85288 1493 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yes I agree Tvheadend is an awesome backend. Best one I have used hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 204 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 for features DVBViewer is the best I've used by a mile, and you left that off the list. The only issue with that was the UI. Only needs a SAT>IP plugin making too as support is there already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 204 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 And having said that anyone with the knowhow want to look at this??? http://www.satip.info/resources seems to be where all the SAT>IP dev resources are. I have no clue about software development though unfortunately.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37063 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Now that we have live tv roku development going on, you guys should go over to all of those communities and post the teaser screenshots. Persistence pays off. Look what happened here: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showthread.php?54259-Media-Browser-Integration&p=472056#post472056 As we keep growing, those developers will reconsider.

Lee 204 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I've got the go ahead to stick something in the sat4fun forum regarding development of one of the many Linux satellite boxes as a backend... Just need a bit of time. Hopefully tomoz. Will post links up when it's done. Sent by my HTC8X using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee 204 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Been VERY busy at work so never got round to this.. the mods forewarned me regarding my posting so it is very brief and a little hidden but I've asked the question about Linux satellite boxes as backend HERE http://www.sat4fun.co.uk/showthread.php?150835-MediaBrowser-3-use-linux-satellite-box-as-TV-Back-end&p=415625#post415625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breedalot 0 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 sorry, I may have missed something but what about media portal sever support via MP extended, I cant find a mention of this in the forum or anywhere else. Has this been explored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 204 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 there is a mediaportal plugin which uses MBserver. I guess they don't want to go the other way as it's taking their userbase away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37063 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Who is they? I'm fine with MP as a tv back-end for us. Armand said he might consider looking into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37063 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Can you go in our MP thread and ask Armand about it again? I think with a little nudge he can be convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 204 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I would assume mediaportal would be fine using the server but all else surely takes their users away? Sent by my HTC8X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
