Usage:
-----
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.
This is the same for recordings 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 picture 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. Then you can listen next track easily. To play an entire album, just launch the first track.
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.
- ffmpeg compiled with libx264 and libmp3lame support
- segmenter: use modded version included with istreamdev.
_________________________________________________________
INSTALL
_________________________________________________________
Download a stable release from Files or development revision from Git repository:
git clone git://projects.vdr-developer.org/istreamdev.git
Copy the file in your webfolder. /istreamdev for example.
Copy the config_default.php to config.php and edit it.
Compiles segmenter provided by typing make in segmenter folder and install it:
"make & cp segmenter /usr/bin/"
At each update, don't forget to remove your old config file and replace it by the new default one to prevent not updated config files.
$httpath needs to point to your istreamdev http path ( /istreamdev/ if your site is http://mydomain/istreamdev/ ). Caution: don't use the full url path like http://.
The ram folder and playlist one shoulds be writable.
To prevent hard disk usage, you can mount it in /dev/shm to use ram instead of disk.
If you don't have /dev/shm , you need to mount it on boot:
On your /etc/mtab, add this line:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
From your istreamdev folder:
rm -Rf ram
mkdir /dev/shm/ram
ln -s /dev/shm/ram ram
Check your files permissions. All php script and istream.sh should be executable by www-data user.
www-data needs rights to launch ffmpeg, segmenter, and some shell commands.
From your istreamdev directory:
# set owner and group
sudo chown -R root.www-data ./*
# strict default permissions for files and directories
sudo find ./ -type f | xargs sudo chmod 644
sudo find ./ -type d | xargs sudo chmod 755
# ram and playlist directories need to be group-writable
sudo chmod 775 ram playlist
# istream.sh shoudl be executable
sudo chmod 755 bin//istream.sh
# if you moved the ram directory to a ramdisk as suggested:
sudo chown root.www-data /dev/shm/ram
sudo chmod 775 /dev/shm/ram
Check everything is ok with ffmpeg by launching the above command logued as your http server user ( www-data ) :
./bin/istream.sh http://localhost:3000/TS/1 512k 128k 480x320 /istreamdev/ 3 /usr/bin/ffmpeg /usr/bin/segmenter session0
You should see ffmpeg access streamdev http://localhost:3000/TS/1 and encode the stream.
You can add your logos channels pictures ( 80x80 png ) in logos/ folder.
If some channels have a / in the name, replace it by a space. Ex: "RTL\RTL Television" > "RTL RTL Television.png"
Now everything is ok you can login from your iphone: http://yourip/istreamdev
Add it to your Iphone home menu as shortcut ( IMPORTANT if you want to have it in fullscreen mode ).
ACTIVATE DEBUG:
--------------
You can active debug logs in your config file:
$debug=1; logs all events in a file.
$ffmpegdebug=1; logs all ffmpeg output in a file.
