    Transcoding on the Xpeed LX3

    Hi all, As the title suggests.

    Has anyone been able to configure Transcoding? I am trying to use Blackbox app on my iPhone.

    I have the latest Vix image running at the moment.

    The Blackbox app itself only has "VU", "ET10000" and "VLC" as configurations... Obviously not using "VLC"... have tried both the others and no luck.

    Just comes up with an error to check configuration or the transcoder may not be available.

    Thanks all.

    Amit.

    No one else trying to transcode on the lx3?

    Have tried to use web interface on local network using default ports and also externally but have not managed to get it working.

    Anyone had any success with it? Please.

    it used to work really well with blackbox,i think something got broken the last few days after the latest drivers, kernel etc. I think we just have to wait for an update of openvix or an update of the blackbox app. In any case, you need to select vu+ transcoding from the blackbox menu.

    i think something got changed or messed up with the streaming port on enigma 2. It used to be port 8001 for normal stream and 8002 for the transcoded stream. now on the PC with vlc it looks like the transcoded streaming is using port 8001 aswell.

    what you could do in the meantime is use the webif, it works really well in local LAN and the internet if you have forwarded the webif port and the streaming ports. Just make sure you choose "Show Full OpenWebif" at the bottom of the open webif mobile

    Thanks mate.

    I have forwarded different external ports for 8001 and 8002 on my router to the LX3.

    So you say you had transcoding on Blackbox? Excellent...so it has worked? Is that over the internet too? - This was one of the reasons for getting the box too.

    I have selected VU+ profile from the transcoding options in blackbox and set the external port which i have defined for 8001 in the here...The stream seems to play now...but obviously no way of telling whether it is pulling a Standard or taranscoded stream.....since if what you say is correct and both streams are running from 8001.

    Let me know how you get on....


    @Sicilian - Can you follow up with the manufacturer on this aspect? Has something changed in the drivers. Thanks.

    K dude. Will let you know how I get on with egami.

    Just FYI. When you open a transcode stream from openwebif and then look at the properties it is clear that port 8001 is the use rather that 8002. Don't know if that has always been the case since I have never had it working.

    Ok here is the update.

    @gvsb - I can confirm that i have managed to get it to work using Blackbox. (You must have seen it work on the earlier build of VIX - Not working on the latest VIX Build - Notes below)

    @Sicilian - I tried Egami and on the latest build with the latest updates applied, the issue is still there.

    I then tested with VIX again....

    I flashed the first build for the LX3 - Build "25" - I am able to Stream normally and via a Transcoded stream. I am able to connect via the "Blackbox" app on my Apple devices too using the transcoded and standard streams.

    I have tested both locally on my LAN and Remotely over the Internet and it works a treat.

    I am not sure which build it is that it gets broken on...I can only assume that there is a issue with the drivers? Maybe something in the image itself? I think driver because Egami on the latest build had the same issue.

    Something that you pick up with the Manufacturer? or the Developers?

    Thanks all...

    Transcoding on the Xpeed LX3

    A few days/weeks ago when it was working fine the plugin was called transcoding. When it got changed to Multi-Transcoding is where the problems started. It has to be because both streams now use port 8001.

    Blackbox for iOS is an excellent, powerful and refined app. The best I have seen by far, ever, in any platform for watching/controlling enigma2 boxes. Transcoding used to work really well on it in LAN and WAN. The only slight problem I have with it is sometimes it is not releasing the tuner properly. As a result after a lot of watching and a lot of channels changes I might be watching something on B tuner and A tuner is lit and occupied even though it should be free. Is there a way to free up a (falsely) occupied tuner through the interface or telnet? The only way I have found so far is to restart enigma2 ('killall enigma2' command).
    Same thing (falsely occupied tuner) is sometimes happening with webif as well so it is probably not a blackbox issue but a receiver or enigma2 issue. Can anybody else please report any experiences on this matter?

    Spoken to the Dev's and tested myself. Transcoding is working, but you must use 8001, ignore the the 8002 port tip when in your web browser. Forward port 8001. Soon it will be possible to change ports.

    Just tested with Blackbox Pro on iphone, using 8001 as streaming port, transcoding fine. LX3 users port 8001 for transcoding.

    Thanks Sicilian for following up on this.

    I have too tested and can confirm that it works albeit a little glitchy.

    For others to note...

    I am using "Blackbox Pro" for Apple devices and have managed to transcode on LAN and WAN.

    You need to select the ET10K profile in Blackbox since this configuration uses the 8001 port. You can now modify the transcoded stream attribute via the blackbox app to reduce/better the quality.

    Hope that helps.
