The best solution, at my opinion, is to use the plugin vomp under vdr and run the vompclient under windows, you will have access to channels, records and timers

Thanks. Nice project. I'll try to use it, few questions still bother me. What is MVP that that client was intended to use? Why creating its own GUI and not pass the output of VDR (with all the menus) on the network to the client as VLC and streamdev do it? Maybe the intention was to pass only DVB traffic...

Anyone tried to use the VOMP client as an output device on Linux instead of xine or softdevice?

Thanks!

Best regards

Hello all,

Is there a plugin for VDR (I use 1.7.1) that allows a windows based

client

...

to watch the channels remotely? What windows based clients can I use in that case?

Is there a network overhead for watching a stream? I mean if the stream

is

...

5Mbit, will it take 5Mbit of my network or the traffic will take more? In case the client is used with a small window that can't show the whole picture, will the network load be reduced?

Thanks.

Any ideas if it can decode MPEG4 and playback mp3?

Hauppauge MediaMVP - small hardware device that was supposed to use its own Hauppauge Windows software as its 'server' - the vomp plugins allow VDR to be the server for these devices.

The vomp windows client seems to be a software implementation of the MediaMVP hardware, so hence it's using the same protocols :) There is no standard method by which to 'pass all the menus on the network'...

Yes, works fine. I use it from time to time with a full-featured card. Mainly I just stream a single channel with VLC, tho :)

If you want to play H264 and/or HD content, this is not a good solution and you cannot consider use a light client to do that

There is a good solution but it needs work. Popcorn Hour (and compatible) networked media tanks can replay SD/HD content, on there has been work ongoing to fix vdr-streamdev to provide proper TS-stream.

PCH is light client, some people has measured 12W power on HDD spun up and playing stream. PCH is a Linux based settop-box where you can get access to shell level and even crosscompile programs with toolchains. Box is about 27x13x3cm. HDD is optional but you should install it for best benefit.

(http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/index.php?pluginoption=catalog&ta... info&item_id=6&main_id=0)

What is needed is Vomp-like or VDRadmin-am-like user interface for streams and files. It would make PCH as a top alternative of todays front-end for VDR, and in general a front end to all media you have.

For GB-PVR there is already some work done. http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardware/NMT

With this device you can discard HTPC's at once unless you do web browsing with your TV-set.
