Simple streaming VU+ to PC

[BadKarma]

Actually my bad guys - You can watch another channel without first selecting it!

Woo Hoo this is just brilliant.

Using the VTI image here, I tried this for the first time and it worked without any problems. I did have to press play on VLC as it's paused initially.

This would be perfect if selecting the streaming channel did not have to be output to the TV connected to the VU+ Duo. Small annoyance considering we can now watch 2 different channels at the same time.

Cheers

I get Hd channels but it freezes every 10 secs. Is this due to my network or internet speed? anyway to sort it.

I can't watch another channel on PC apart from the same channel thats showing on the Vu+. I am using PLI Image. If I select the channel on Vu+ first, start streaming to PC and then go back to change it to another channel on Vu+, the channel showing on PC still shows but all other channels on Vu+ go grey and if I try to select another channel on Vu+ it says not SID, Tunner error. Is it possible to select another channel on PC apart from the one showing on Vu+ with PLI? If so how is this done.

If you've only got one feed connected you will only be able to watch channels on the TV & PC that are on the same transponder.

Thanks for your help so far but What can I do to watch seperate channels then. The lnb is a quad not a quattro.

Hi,

I've installed VLC 1.1.4 and have got this working but the picture is blocky. I've tried the suggestion of increasing the cache to a bigger sie to ensure smooth playback, however this doesn't work because it still happens and the feed is no more than 1/2 second behind the tv feed if I put that on at the same time.

I changed the setting under Tools->preferences selected the all rasio button, then went to Input / Codecs -> Access modules -> File -> "Caching value" and "Extra network caching value" and set these both to 10,000 but it made no difference to the delay on the stream.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please? I'd really like to use this feature.

Thanks

Hi all. love streaming from vu duo to my pc.
I have noticed that if your streaming HD, you need a 4 core processor, anything less will cause freezing.

Hi Guys,

I noticed some of you were having troubles streaming and codecs were mentioned above.

Codecs were definetly my problem but i have just updated my VLC Player to the latest version: 2.0.5

and it now runs perfectly so worth a try may sort for you guys.
