Transcoding problem
Re: Transcoding problem #581

And indeed: all kinds of issues:
1- Sometimes the 'loading' screen starts flashing,
2- sometimes all goes well, but trying to change the bitrate of a transcoded stream the app tells me transcoding isn't supported,
3- sometimes only a white screen shows
4- sometimes nothing works at all.
This was with authentication set to off. If set to on transcoding doesn't work at all.
The above issues seem to be random.

Last change/update in the streamproxy is may 25.

It might be an issue with setting the bitrate too high, somewhere above 500kbps (iirc) the driver starts to get flaky (working only every now and then and ultimately crash).
You try VU+Player on VU+ Solo2 with transcoding ?
You removed the plugin for change settings transcoding from image and now you can not change the settings in VU+ player on the phone

I just tested Vu+ Player with a Solo2 using OpenPLI with the help of SatKiekerd.
It did not work in the beginning but then I realized that the process streamproxy was not running. I started it manually and everything worked just fine!
Erik: I have also noted that sometimes streamproxy does not start. A reboot fixes it. Could it be a problem with the "/etc/init.d"?
I did not test test streaming authentication but I guess it should work just fine.

I checked this evening in LAN with my Solo2 flashed with OpenPLI of May 29, 2014 and Vu+ Player for Android (version 2.0) and everything worked great.
I tried with and without streaming authentication. Everything fine also with Internal Player (and changing frequently bitrates from app).
One thing I suggest is that if you have JUST flashed the STB, then reboot it and the streamproxy works fine thereafter. In either case, I think a reboot after a flash is always a good idea.
You removed the plugin for change settings transcoding from image and now you can not change the settings in VU+ player on the phone
So based on my test earlier today in remote (thanks to @SatKiekerd for helping out) and my test this evening, Vu+ Player seems to work very well with OpenPLI and its streamproxy (including changing bitrates from app). Also the Duo2 is running well.
As suggested by me, try to reboot if you have just flashed the STB.
Hope this helps.

Okay SatKiekerd, then apparently some combination of factors gives problems and you're lucky Can you please enable syslog (either file or memory buffering), reboot, scan the syslog for streamproxy and post them here? Hope this gives some clue's.

@Tilleke, I think the VU+Player 2.0 is a nice piece of work, there is only one little problem I have, but that's very probable due to my hardware/firmware, starting a file stream may take ages to complete, but I found out that if I standby the device and wake it, it continues. That's really all. I can't remember having the problem with the tablet.

In VU+ Duo2 with Vu+ Player transcoding not work in internal player
In VU+ Solo2 transcoding not work with all players
Listen dude,
Statements like that is not of any use at all. If you don't describe your set up (device, Android OS-version and so forth), how you have set up everything, WAN or LAN, what you have tried and so on, there is no way I can help you. I am not going to consider your reports unless you tell me above information and all extra information which can be useful for understanding your problem. If you feel that your English is not good enough, then use Google translate. I don't have time to loose.

Is that using the DUO2 or the Solo2?@Tilleke, I think the VU+Player 2.0 is a nice piece of work, there is only one little problem I have, but that's very probable due to my hardware/firmware, starting a file stream may take ages to complete, but I found out that if I standby the device and wake it, it continues. That's really all. I can't remember having the problem with the tablet.
In my experience there's a huge difference between the results of the two boxes, in all images.
Also: do you use the internal Android player (as I did above; I forgot to mention that) or any other player?

What 'syslog' do you require? An RS-232 log?Okay SatKiekerd, then apparently some combination of factors gives problems and you're lucky Can you please enable syslog (either file or memory buffering), reboot, scan the syslog for streamproxy and post them here? Hope this gives some clue's.

No, just syslog. It's not installed by default, you need to install busybox-syslog and configure it, but I'm pretty sure you can find out howWhat 'syslog' do you require? An RS-232 log?
The other way is to kill streamproxy and run it in the foreground using the -f flag, but that won't help if the problem is that it won't start from boot.

The streamproxy does not differentiate between solo2 and duo2. It tries to set all parameters and if it can't (because the /proc entries are missing), it just goes on.Hmm, tried the same today: worked fine, until I changed the bitrate several times. Then the flashing 'loading stream' was there again.
So if there is a difference in operation between solo2 and duo2, it must be driver/hardware related. Which I am not surprised about actually, because the transcoding on the solo2 is really flakey.
