Streaming Over The Internet

[gus]

Hi Guys

I hope someone can help me. I have always wanted to stream my Vu+ over the internet. I have just changed my broadband provider, I now have 60mb download speeds and 5-6mb upload speeds. I think my upload speeds is now fast enough to stream my vu+ duo2 over the internet

What do I need to do, the football season starts soon, I work Saturdays, I have a nexus 7 android tablet which I will be taking to working with me.

The Vu+ Duo2 now has transcoding, so it should be easier, does anybody have a guide. I am sure others would like to know.

I think LSK VU+ Team Stream v 0.0.4 can help you

It is a part of My Dream Toolbox VU+ Edition v5.2

Alternatively, you can stream m3u file, corresponding to the football channel ( see how to create such a file here http://www.vuplus-community.net/boa...oscopic-player-for-sat-channel-viewing.13609/) using VLC player.
% vlc -vvv video1.xyz --sout udp:192.168.0.42 --ttl 12
where:

• video1.m3u is the file you want to stream,
• 192.168.0.42is either:
  • the IP address of the machine you want to unicast to;
  • or the DNS name the machine you want to unicast to;
  • or a multicast IP address.
• 12 is the value of the TTL (Time To Live) of your IP packets (which means that the stream will be able to cross 11 routers).

If you want to stream the file continuously, add the --loop option.
Of course, you can add more options (like transcoding, or streaming to a TCP port, etc.), but this should get you started.

Download vu+player off play store on your nexus. Enable a dynDNS on your VU. Portforward your router port 8001. Then on your nexus go through your settings filling in all info and enable remote streaming

And of course enable your transcoding you lucky duo2 owner (port forward 8002 on router) if using transcoding

thank for reply

I am not that good when it comes to networking.

Could you give me more details.

how do connect with my duo2 from outside my network

here is what I have. Duo2, what do I need to do on my duo2, what do I need to configure
my router, how do I port forward
my android tablet or android phone what apps do I need to download

thank you, I hope you can help me again

On your nexus go to play store and download vu+player.
Go into your router config and login into it, there should be a section for port forwarding in the config. (Check your router manual). I think then you have to enable dyndns on your vu then check out http://www.vuplus-community.net/boa...ilable-on-google-play.11168/page-4#post-97454

I'm sure Google will help a lot too. I only stream on my lan as don't have bandwidth. I'm sure someone else can assist with transcoding setup etc

If so, maybe it is reasonable to purchase http://www.enigma-tv.com/

OK, below is the step-by-step movement. You should have Enigma2 DVB tuner, PC and VLC player installed on PC.
1. Open VLC player. Select FILE & OPEN NETWORK STREAM
2. Past HTTP like http://192.168.1.137:8001/1:0:1:D06B:90A:2:11A0000:0:0:0: (open channel_name.m3u with notepad and see you exact HTTP) & Click Settings

3. Check that this can be accessed from your internal network first
to access the stream type http://YourPCs_IP:1234 into VLC on another machine
4. Providing that has worked next go into your router setup and make sure port 1234 is forwarded to the address of the machine running VLC doing the re-encoding
(You can change this to another port if you prefer in VLC Stream setting)
5. To access from the web you need to know your fixed Broadband ROUTER_IP(regisiter youself with http://www.dyndns.com) where you can get a fixed address,if you have a dynamic IP from your internet provider)
6. To Acess the stream over the Internet enter you address & port number, like http://myname.dyndns.org:1234
or http://MY_ROUTER_IP:1234
The only limatation of this method is that if you want to change channel you need to copy the new channel address into VLC and start the procedure again.

http://www.vuplus.com/manual/player/FAQ_English.htm Check out this mate it tells you which ports need forwarding in your router. I think then all you have to do is create a dyndns account online and add this into the app where it states it see my PIC above. To setup your transcoding setup read this post http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/threads/transcoding-setup.11062/

Solo2 and Duo2 have too low horsepower to transcode the stream on the fly. That is why transcoding with V+ is experimental feature.
On the other side, my PC with Sandy 4500 MHz, 16 Gb RAM and Nvidia GF5800 can do it easily.

I have prepared video showing how to configure VLC media player ( version 2.08, latest) for channel streaming to Internet
