Tuner Server.

[jmd]

Is the server tuner which is part of the blackhole image available for download anywhere to install on a vix image?

I've been scouring google but no luck.

At present I believe the tuner server feature only to be available via the BH images. If they ever decide to port it over to their Pli based BP image it could be possible to use it with other pli bases images.

the tuner server works on vix aswell.
ive been using it for a while to stream the box to my laptop.

i think it merely creates a virtual channelist on your hdd so as long as you have a device that can connect to your box it should be ok.

i dont use Tuner Server much anymore but i'll upload it tonight if u want.


i uploaded one on here a while back, but i also edited it for vix so it appears in the network settings with the other options like samba and nfs.

What does the plugin do?

[s1m0nw]

lets you view bouquets channels on another box without the need of a sat feed only the internet

Ah, see now, creates .m3u files for all the bouquets & channels in them.

Thats pretty much exactly what remotestreamconvert does which is already in the ViX feeds, This plugin differs in that i believe it allows you to stream those channels to other devices such as a ps3 not just STB's as the remotestreamconvert plugin does.

Just tried it pheonix, does work like remotestreamconvert, but so far seems handy for other reasons too.
It creates folders of each of your bouquets & then creates .m3u files in them with channels nicely named.
Only tested on ubuntu, but extremely handy for adding channel play lists to media players on it.

Rob, any chance of creating an IPK for the feeds?

[Larry-G]

yes it's been a big hit on the BH images since it was first launched, i honestly did not know it had since been ported to the Pli based images from BH, as i said it's pretty much the same as RSC but unlike RSC it can stream channels to other none Pli images and devices.

[Rob van der Does]

I will have a look at it. But please explain in a bit more detail what exactly it does, and what the advantage is over the Remote Stream convertor (it'll be me, but I don't get it).

The RSC creates bouquets; you can 'zap' to channels as if it was the tuner in the box itself, but it results in streaming the channel from the serverbox.

And this plugin does.......??

[judge]

Rob, not sure about other OSs, but using this I can add the folders it creates (bouquets) as playlists (channels) to my media player, all named perfectly as they are in the original bouquet.

Easy way of streaming to my lappy, no idea about xbox or any other devices...

The screens might need to be skinned though as they contain a lot of text & are slightly hard to read.

[Rob van der Does]

Well, skinning is the very least problem: I can't get the plugin to work. The file is being compiled, but nothing shows up, so I have no idea how to use it.
This is the case as Extension and as Syetem-plugin.

[judge]

Yeah, agree, skinning is the last thing to be done, if even it needs it.
Works perfectly for me, added it to Extension.
