About: ----- iStreamdev lets you stream TV channels & recordings from VDR and your Media files to your unjailbroken iPhone Quicktime player. Your iPhone needs to have at least firmware 3.0 to support HTTP Live Streaming protocol. It gets vdr-streamdev plugins TS feeds, and recodes it to TS mux with h264 level 3.0 video and mp3 audio using ffmpeg. Segmenter receives output from pipe, cuts it in 10 seconds video file and updates the m3u8 playlist in live. Features: --------- - 100% webapp compatible user interface using iWebkit framework ( http://iwebkit.net ) - Channel selection throught categories - Channels listed with logo and current epg. - Streaming format selection: Edge, 3g, Wifi - Recording streaming - Media streaming ( All video files & mp3/aac/Wav files ) Webapp: ------- Add iStreamdev to your iPhone home menu.

The Play icon will appear automatically after few seconds when the feed is ready. This is the same for recorinds and videos files. To Stop the stream server, hit Stop stream button. Video thumbnails: iStreamdev takes videoname.tbn , poster.jpg or folder.jpg file ( from xbmc export library ) as thumbnail source, or grab a pi cture in the video stream if there's not. Channel logos: Put your 80x80 png logos in logos/ folder. They needs to have the same name/caps as your channels.conf If a channel have a / character in the name, replace it by _ ( cf RTL/TELEVISION > RTL_TELEVISION.png ) Music: iStreamdev generate a playlist from the requested file to the last file of the folder.

What you need: -------------- - an http server with PHP5 enabled like apache or lighthttpd - having "at" package. - www-data user should allowed to use "at". Check on your /etc/at/deny if www-data is there, and remove it if so. - PHP is allowed to use exec() function. - ffmpeg compiled with x264 support - segmenter: modified version now included in istreamdev path (http://www.ioncannon.net/programming/452/iphone-http-streaming-with-ffmpeg-and-an-open-source-segmenter/) Install iStreamdev: ------------------- Copy the file in your webfolder. /istreamdev for example. Copy config_default.php to config.php and edit it. $httpath is your istreamdev http path NOT the full url ( '/istreamdev/' NOT 'http://yourdomain/istreamdev' ) the ram folder should be writable. If you want to prevent hard disk usage, you can mount it in ram with /dev/shm: mkdir /dev/shm/ram ln -s /dev/shm/ram ram Check everything is ok with ffmpeg by launching the above command logued as your http server user ( www-data ) : ./istream.sh http://localhost:3000/TS/1 512k 64k 1 480x320 ./ 3 /usr/bin/ffmpeg /usr/bin/segmenter You should see ffmpeg access streamdev http://localhost:3000/TS/1 and encode the stream.
