streaming from azbox

[happyhammer]

best to start a new thread.

I have the elite model.

I CAN stream a channel from the DVB-T tuner.

i CANNOT stream a channel from the DVB-S tuner.

[hanswurscht]

Now we are two with this Problem ;)

So we can take out all Networkproblems, because DVB-T working.
Ive tried it all, without Router, with Router, several PCs, no Way for me.

no longer believe in my abilities, but all Settings are correct, triple checked.
Not urgent for me dont need UDP streaming(only WebIF Streaming is needed ;)), but I will know, why it dont work or only sometimes

Elite with DVB-S tuner

I can't get it to work, so far.

[goran]

Hans, I managed a few times but now it's almost impossible...:smash:

So, chill... It's just a first version - full of bugs!!:001_07:

Nothing to do with you!:coolgleamA:

Some guys in other forum said that for stream to work on elite, the elite needs to have a USB stick or HDD.
I don't know if this is because that streaming is a modification of the recording (pr2 thoughts) and for recording you need an HDD or USB device...

Regards!

i do have a small usb drive thats symbolically linked to a network share.

either way, no DVB-S streaming, just DVB-T on my elite, so far.

[hanswurscht]

have HDD and Stick on Elite, but no work.
Seems also to be useless an Usb Device having on the Box for an UDP Stream.
There must be something other wrong I think

[Tarzan]

Since the Streaming uses the Multicasting, have you enabled Mulitcasting on your router?

[hanswurscht]

dont have a Router for Test :)
I have a Switch, putting in my Box and PC, not working

I can stream DVB-T, not DVB-S channels from my elite, must be the box

Not sure what the problem is for you guys but I can confirm all working ok on an AZBox Elite using a Thomson TG585v7 router. Screenshot below.

I have same router.

Do I need to change any settings?

[bcrazynutter]

xanadu, did you format application area when installing this firmware? I could not get a stream until I formatted application area and started from scratch.

[leao6]

bcrazynutter

you have any usb or hdd in de box?

[bcrazynutter]

Yes I curently have a WD 640gb hard drive attached to the usb

No.

Maybe try that next weekend if all else fails.

[simcan]

FME_fta is right, you need an HDD or USB storage for the streaming to work!

yes it´s need.

[bcrazynutter]

I also confirm HDD needed, just disconnected and tested

[happyhammer]

i will do a Format Application Area at the weekend and test again. looks like it needs to be done from what Bcrazynutter has posted.

probably to do wit the DVB-S tuner.

I have the Linksys WRT54G V4 with DD-WRT and now with the latest firmware I can stream no problem, and also watch other channel on the TV (on the same transponder), also with unicast I get almost none (max 0,2sec delay) and this is on wireless connection...

I'm quite happy!

[martin-f]

yes i have it working fine here about the same delay i am using a netgear wnr200

[xanadu]

press play and all should be good :applause-003:

Thanks for confirming the instructions........

But it still does not work. :smash::smash::smash::smash:

Some people say we need to format the Azbox before loading the new firmware, so that maybe why not working.

[happyhammer]

to summarize what i know so far:

i tried vlc 1.0.3 and then 0.8.6i and saw no difference.

You need to have a usb stick/HDD for the elite before steraming can work.

On the elite, i can stream DVB-T channels but not DVB-S ones.

I will Format Application Area as i belive this will resolve that since others have the elite working after doing that.

[willy72]

I will try this evening.. thanks..

Don't work... :mad:

I only did format application area once, and was when I first updated my Elite.
And streaming is working fine here with VLC and XP in multicas or single IP.

Do you guys tried first on a FTA channel? Doing a reboot in azbox? Restart VLC?

[hanswurscht]

most here are not Noobs and know how to do, but id didnt work on my Elite, also not with the newest Firmware.
For me its a dirty Way with UDP, but thats another Story

[martin-f]

try shutting down azbox with pen drive in the box turn of and back on from the rear switch and see if that helps

[leao6]

iin sly uk dònt work. try fta chanells. if you read about vlc you undestand.

please elaborate

[sandery]

I have an azbox premium.

Could only stream DVB-T, could not stream DVB-S.

Posts suggested to format application area.

So I formatted application area, reinstalled firmware.

Streaming now works.

Cheers

[happyhammer]

Still no joy with my elite although i have seen a DVB-S channel work once or twice.

I did a Format Application Area, updated to latest firmware, reloaded saved channels with MAZ. Can stream a DVB-T channel ( vlc shows fours streams, h264 vid, mpga audio and two text streams).

just have a 128Mgb pen drive on the USB port, mapped to a network drive. dont know if that makes a difference since its streaming DVD-T.

Cant determine why streaming a DVB-T works but a DVB-S wont.
