As soon as the drivers that are in our BSP facilitate transcoding, I will include support for it in streamproxy. But that is completely besides my point, please read. I said you can also use streamproxy just for streaming, not transcoding.

yes, I ve read it. but I put the test 20170212 drivers and they are able to transcoding...I will wait for BSP drivers then. I will be happy to work with streamproxy to stream when it will be inside pli. thank you.

[daveraver]

ok, I have tested streaming with streamproxy, custom port its ok. I will try with non root user, it must work, I think so. thanks.

[daveraver]

well, about users, you cannot limit to one non root user, root still runs. not a problem, just a mania of mine.

[daveraver]

Just a last thing, where to find a full howto for streamproxy? Where could I read a full guide about streamproxy? thanks

[Erik Slagter]

What do you want to know? I am the author... Fire away.

oohh great!!! I only know 2 things about streamproxy, change stream port and transcoding port. I thought it could be able to limit the stream to some users, but it don't work in my tests by these lines:

 

#8001           stream  tcp6    nowait  dave1    /usr/bin/streamproxy      streamproxy
#8002           stream  tcp6    nowait  dave2    /usr/bin/transtreamproxy  transtreamproxy

 

It activate custom user but root user still works... but that is not a problem, just testing on it.

 

Yes, I know formuler f1 cannot transcoding by the moment with pli because you wont activate it until BSP drivers were released.

 

The change port option works. I dont know if my intention of limit to an user is possible.

On the other side, I read something about box hostname and the capacity of stream any content, multimedia files on hdd mounted on local network, as http://hostname:port/service_code

 

I would like to know all setup options and how to configure, something as I made with openvpn, openvpn --help and you have all options, with streamproxy how would it be? I try it but the shell stays blank, and I have to exit with CTRL+C.

 

Thanks in advance.

You are confusing the original streamproxy ( https://schwerkraft....y.git;a=summary ) with Erik Slagter's streamproxy ( https://github.com/eriksl/streamproxy ).

I urged him to name his one different to avoid this confusion ...

Dream's streamproxy (Also used by Vu+/VTi) is initiated through /etc/inetd.conf (In VuPlus original or VTi) or xinetd (on DreamOS based images), like in your example above.
Erik's streamproxy is run as a system service, e.g. through SysVinit-Script /etc/init.d/whatever

[daveraver]

I have installed enigma2-streamproxy_3.999+git15+37a3f19-r4_mips32el.ipk.

 

I would like to know how build the last git version by myself with the git source, I dont know if the .ipk is trust source, I dont think so.

ok, I think Erik release is better, I am interested in it too...

[daveraver]

so Erik streamproxy is integrated on pli image?? I dont see any file inside, I dont know how to install or where to allocate the files and which files. can anybody guide me...have I to find out the git by myself?? I've tried it...I will insist...

As Erik mentioned earlier, if you have a box that supports transcoding in OpenPLi, the OpenPLi streamproxy is installed by default. There is no streamproxy binary for the Formuler, as it doesn't support transcoding.

[daveraver]

whats up with transcoding? I dont have any problem, if I want transcoding with f1 I know what enigma2 I have to install, not pli, but I stay on pli, so I dont want with urgency transcoding. I am talking about setup streamproxy I repeat, no transcoding needed for me now, I will hate transcoding at last, what an obsesion...not my obsesion...sure.

[daveraver]

We can stream files with streamfile, and simple stream, modifying some parameters. streamproxy is incomplete without transcoding but it may be useful some way, isnt it?

[Erik Slagter]

Guys guys, relax. The streamproxy can be installed on any PLi-supported receiver (transcoding or non-transcoding). It just not installed by default then, you need to install it yourself: opkg install streamproxy.

 

If it doesn't work on your f1, I will fix it, that's something that should work.

[athoik]

By default there is no match in stbs_traits and it doesn't work. I guess we need to use defaults when no match.

[WanWizard]

This topic is going around in circles.

 

Either the Formuler F1 has transcoding support in the drivers, in which case our streamproxy should support it, and it should be installed by default. Or it doesn't, in which case this in a non-discussion.

ok, I tried to install it some weeks ago, it cannot be installed by 'opkg install streamproxy', that's why I looked for a .ipk file, and I found the old dreambox streamproxy. I will remove the old packet and I will install your streambox, Erik, I hope you will warn us when streamproxy were available to install by putty. thanks.

No, not true. The streamproxy is supposed to be installable on each and every model (but by default isn't). It just won't support transcoding on non-transcoding models. It's supposed to present a uniform streaming/transcoding on all models. That's why it's also installed on xtrend and mutant models, even though it's strictly not required.

 

As I said, if it isn't working like that, right now, I should fix it.
