KRA 39 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 This is my suggestion, in my mind it's simple, but it probably isn't I'm looking for a plugin where I can put in static URL to video streams, or m3u8 files maybe?. And have those piped through the server and handled by MB3 to make it available for all clients. My main use for this would simply add my own web channels, I would use it for some tv channels that supply feeds online, but also for local tv-server solutions such as nextpvr and tvheadend who can stream tv channels over http. Basically I just put in the url's to a plugin, maybe with a icon.png file. MB3 server can open this url and pipe the data through mb3 server and supply it out to clients, and transcode it if needed. If I only knew how to code... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im85288 1493 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 @@snazy2000 - Any news on this one Snazy? I think this may be a way to get Live TV from TvHeadend playing on devices such as the Roku etc. I think it has potential to be something similar to the PseudoTV Live plugin in XBMC where you can add all sorts of streams etc to create your own channels: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=169032 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasputin 2 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hey, a quick question snazy (and probably a dumb one). All of the PlayOn content is showing 0 of 0 when I go into the channel. I assume it may have something to do with what my PlayOn IP is set to. My PlayOn server is running on the same PC I have the MB server running, so I assume that IP address (in this case, 192.168.1.2) would be what I would put in there? Or do I need to input something else entirely? Thanks! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRA 39 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Finally got to test the plugin, and it's exactly what I was looking for! Great stuff thanks. Now some comments After you add a stream, it would be nice to be able to edit it. When I click on it in config nothing happens. If I did a typo I have to delete and re-add. Unfortunatly I was unable to send my TVHeadend streams over to MBT, MBT Just say "Error in NowPlayingInfo.GetName(): Object referenc..." A look in MB3 log I notice it was transcoding the stream, I find that odd because a) it's not needed with MBT if the stream is transcoded MBT should for sure be able to play it. I tested revision3 plugin and it is working and playing in MBT, but it's also transcoding the stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRA 39 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 I will post in mbt forum later. But why is server transcoding the stream? MBT should handle it in its native format.

im85288 1493 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 @@KRA - out of curiosity why do you feel that no transcoding is needed when playing the streams from TVHeadEnd? I have been entering mine in this format: http://192.168.1.189:9981/stream/channelid/866 Unless you have an alternative method of entering them then I am not sure how they would not be transcoded? At least in the roku clients I have used they seem to be transcoded to a format they can play natively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other way I can think of is for security cameras that u can see the feed over the internet. What ways or websites have u guys thought of or tried out?
