About: ----- iStreamdev lets you stream TV channels from VDR 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 Webapp: ------- Add iStreamdev to your iPhone home menu to launch it in fullscreen mode as a normal app. Usage: ------ Really simple. Select a channels category, then a channel. Select your stream mode: Edge , 3g or Wifi. The Play icon will appear automatically after few seconds when the feed is ready. To Stop the stream server, hit Stop stream button. If a stream encoding is already running, to prevent multiple users asking for different channels, it will automaticaly redirect any access to iStreamdev on the current streaming channel page. 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: follow the instruction here to install it: 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. Edit config.php. $httpath can point to your istreamdev http path or the full url ( '/istreamdev/' or "http://mydomain.com/istreamdev/' ) the ram folder should be writable. If you want to prevent hard disk usage, you can mount it as ram disk. 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/1 512 64 480x360 ram/ You should see ffmpeg access streamdev http://localhost:3000/TS/1 and encode the stream.
