For questions about the +streaming, they are the right contact persons: + +Peter Siering <ps@ctmagazin.de>, Tobias Grimm <tg@e-tobi.net> + +You can enable access to the streaming feature, by setting STREAM_ON=1 in +vdradmind.conf. vdradmin is not responsible for providing video streams, +it's just a frontend to access them. + +At the configuration page you can now enable/disble live streaming and +streaming of recordings. + + +Live Streaming +-------------- + +Live streaming gives you access to the currently selected channel. To use +live streaming, you must have the streamdev-server-plugin from +Sascha Volkenandt (available at http://www.magoa.net/linux/) installed. +This plugin provides access to the currently watched channel, by +providing a video stream using the Video Transfer Protocol VTP. + +By default port 3000 is used, you can change this on the configuration page. + + +Recordings Streaming +-------------------- + +There is no real streaming server for VDR recordings available yet. Our +lazy solution right now is, to simply access the recordings using a Samba +share. So your first step to make use of the recordings streaming should +be, to make your recoordings directory available over the network. + +The URL, a client should use to access this network share, has to be +configured at the configuration page. + +VDRAadmin will also need direct access to VDR's recordings directory. You +have to set this in vdradmind.conf with VIDEODIR, which is by default +set to VIDEODIR="/video". + + +Setting up the Client / Browser +------------------------------- + +!!!
