mriksman 2 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Hi, I've been trying for hours to stream live tv to my iPad/iPhone. On the computer it is installed on, I can watch Live TV OK. From a remote location, I can access MB3, stream movies, view the guide, but I cannot watch Live TV. When I try, it eventually errors out with a pop up saying 'Operation Could Not Be Completed' What am I missing with the setup? I have port forwarded 8096, and when I got the error, also tried to port forward 9080 - but this had no impact. I can stream a recorded TV show fine. So why not a direct Live TV stream?

mriksman 2 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 I see ffmpeg start, and then stop. Whats really strange is that it has worked 1 time out of 50 tries Not sure how/why.

saitoh183 137 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I had the same issue and i have to make the transcoding cache folder a network location so that when i push a stream to another device it can access the cache folder since my server is not on the same machine as ServerWmc. I had set it to e:\Shared then i changed it to \\srv-saitoh-app\Shared and Live TV worked Edited February 27, 2014 by saitoh183 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mriksman 2 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 But wouldn't that affect all streams (Movies, TV Shows, Recorded TV)? My issue seems specific to Live TV. It played again; that's 2 times out of 100. Not sure what I did different again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saitoh183 137 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Im not sure if it would affect the rest since i dont know if the Transcode cache folder is used when your pushing local media. I know that my issue was specific to live TV and when i changed that , all worked well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyreturns 191 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You are right, if the recorded tv folder is not shared it will effect both recorded and live streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mriksman 2 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 So if Recorded TV works fine, it's not the Shared Folder issue then. That folder gets shared as parting the Xbox Extender setup, and Recorded TV streams fine. Anything else to look at based on the log snippet? Why would it randomly have worked twice? Would slow upload speeds cause it (anyone else in Australia on ADSL2?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37084 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 streaming live tv to apple devices requires a different kind of video stream and it has not been heavily tested. we are working on it right now because it is also needed for Roku. so stay tuned.

mriksman 2 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Has anyone else use iPad/iPhone with 100% success. I'm still trying to work out why it worked twice out of the 100 odd times I tried. Does the log snippet indicate anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. I just tried using a laptop remotely and it works every time. Too bad it's not my laptop... Would love to see this working 100% on the iOS devices. Have donated some $$$ to help Must say, I am super impressed with MB3 so far. Ceton have been left in the dust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
