I agree - Both my girlfriend and I got rid of our iPad's for the GT 10.1's - The screen was one of the biggest deciding factors for us. That and the customization of the widgets for work, scheduling, etc.

Does this plugin support streaming to android devices yet?

[d2globalinc]

It looks like it could work with mirage on android as long as the stuff that forces detection to iphone/ipad is changed to open it up for any devices or android as well..

[dmegatool]

Can't you just spoof the browser ID on Android's browsers ? If that is your only problem...

[d2globalinc]

You can spoof it in the browser, but when the browser launches Mirage Beta to play the stream, Mirage Beta would need to also provide the spoof, and also the username and password for jetty would also need to be passed.. So there are some issues to find solutions for in order to get it transparent through the browser.

Just curious, is the Mirage streaming in TaSageTV working for it?

Locally I've had luck with it - it wont work from the browser until after I've used it once with TaSageTV.. so my guess here is that perhaps Mirage is storing the username and password passed with TaSageTV - and then next time I try launching it from the browser, its already authenticated, so it works.. or.. there is something else being set when launching with TaSageTV that is enabling Mirage to work after its been set.

I've looked at the jetty logs and it looks like when using TaSageTV the useragent is being spoofed as Iphone - is that right?

I do pass the credentials and set them as persistent or such, so Mirage can have access, which is probably why it works through the web server after... You might need to contact the Mirage author to see if he can grab the credentials from the inial launch and reuse them or such...

I'm not spoofing anything, but on the jetty's side there are some specific useragent entries for the method used by TaSageTV...

I'd be willing to test this with both a Xoom and Galaxy Tab 10.1 I have here..

If going beyond the Honeycomb devices and looking at 2.x devices, I also have an EVO 4G and EVO 3D available for testing.

Thanks!

HLS Streaming for Android is very hit and miss... In short, Android v2.3 & v3.0, use the non-standard httplive:// scheme while Android 3.1+ use the standard http://. Here is the relevant post: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17118

Unless we can change the streaming server (hint...) to try sending the httplive://, then pre-3.0 devices will not get HLS to work (stock...)

Now, using the recently released Vitamio multimedia library (http://vov.io/vitamio/), if someone could release an updated player, then all should be well.

It appears that Mirage is moving to the vitamio library model... at least that is what they said on their blog...

Hmm, that sounds promising...

EDIT: There's a test version of TaSageTV using it, details in the appropriate thread...

Not to be crass, but DAMN!

That is/was fast!

I'll take a look...

Plugin is awesome! Thanks so much!

I'm not sure what's happened, but some time in the last few weeks I lost the ability to connect via the web.

I can still connect if I try my local network, but I get a "cannot display the webpage" error if I try via the web.

I'm using dyndns.org, I was manually configured for port forwarding through 8080 on my router back when everything was working. After it stopped working I figured out how to fix UPNP on my router and now have it set up to automatically manage the connection. But I still cannot connect. Is it possible that Comcast has started blocking 8080?

What else should I check or try? My firewall (whs v1) is set to allow SageTV to communicate (at least I think it is - it was working a few weeks ago).

My fallback is to just uninstall jetty and all of its dependents, but I'd rather not go through settings everything up again.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
uberpixel

Your SageTV server could have changed IP, so that your router is no longer port forwarding to it...

Internally, my server is assigned a static IP. Externally, I'm using dyndns updater. I've tried the numeric external IP address as well to no avail.

The error I'm getting says that internet explorer (or safari) can see the computer via the internet but the connection is being blocked, so it seems I've got a router/firewall issue of some sort. I wonder if there was a recent security patch from microsoft for WHS that has screwed things up?

I think I'm going to try to uninstall jetty and reinstall. Hopefully that freshens up all of my settings so I can start from scratch.

I just started using this plug-in and seem to have everything set up correctly and can control my Sagetv with my iphone/ipad with great performance. However, as soon as I start to stream HD-PVR files, everything starts to chug. I have a Athlon x4 645 proc, and when using Airvideo with live conversion, everything is evenly distributed through my cores and the playback on the same files is as smooth as butter. When I use this mobile web interface, I get one core that spikes like crazy while the others barely do anything.

Is there some trick or ways I can evenly distribute the workload or can I change the way this streams? I really would love this feature for the live TV conversion on the fly, as Airvideo always ends the stream where it begins.

Thanks!

If you check the streaming thread, on the last 2 pages it is mentioned that the number of threads to use doesn't seem to work properly... Since jreichen hasn't logged in almost two months, there probably hasn't been much change since...

[dibs]

Ok, thanks for the quick reply. Is there any alternate way to stream our live tv HD-PVR recordings other than Airvideo, or maybe some way to trick airvideo to keep checking the file as it grows larger from the live recording?

Thanks again.

When you login to http://a.b.c.d:8080/sagem/m and it asks you for the username and password where is that set at?

I need to change the username and password for the login. I of course set it up somewhere but for the life of me I don't remember where.


Working just great on my iPhone 4 using either Wifi or 3G.

I've also tried it on my new HP Touchpad but have run into a problem. Working on getting the logs as required to report the problem.

That is configured from the SageTV Jetty plugin's settings.
