Thanks for god! That's the reason why it works well!

[Zolyma]

I talk about uno4 se transcodig for a long time...
The dm800 just a methapore that not my tv the wrong.

[WanWizard]

I don't have an Uno 4K SE, only a Duo 4K and Solo 4K.

 

All VU+ 4K boxes however have the same transcoder and streamproxy, so it is unlikely that something that works on one doesn't work on the other.

 

I have a VU+ Zero box in my suitcase for when I travel, that connects to home via OpenVPN, so I can watch remotely, and that uses a transcoded stream (from my Duo 4K) as well. And that works fine.

 

Having said that, the details you have been posting mention port 8001, which is the streaming port, not the transcoding port. And you've been told that authentication with the sid- user doesn't work with the transcoder streamproxy.

[Zolyma]

I tryed the default 8001 it works with pc vlc.
The transcodig not with anything.
1.5MB, 576 size.
Where is the transcoder file?
And on the default 8001 port how stream? Thru a file? Somehow just work, but how? Gstream or what?

[WanWizard]

8001 is processed by Enigma, it just copies the entire transport stream, as received, to HTTP (identical to the way a recording works). There is no intermediate file (which is why it is latency/jitter sensitive).

 

8002/8003 on a VU+ is processed by the streamproxy process, which is configured through the transcoding plugin. The stream proxy gets the full transportstream from Enigma, routes it through the hardware transcoder, and sends it out over http in H.264/AAC format.

 

You can kill the streamproxy from the commandline, and then run it is the foreground (there is a commandline switch for that) so you can see what it is doing, it will log to the console.

Hi again.

 

Could you please help me with trancodning on vu+ uno 4k se. Now I.m on the openpli 6.2 but i tried flash with new 7.2, setup new router and many more. Streaming working local (VLC) and outside network through port 8001. But I cant start transcoding through port 8002 (local and external). Looks like it's closed all the time or somethin wrong with the plugin?

 

streamproxy conf

listen = 8002:transcode
listen = 8003:transcode
size = 480p
bitrate = 2000
profile = baseline
level = 3.1
bframes = 0

Openwebif is giving the same file m3u (8001) doesn't matter where Im clickin (streaming or transcding)

#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT--http-reconnect=true
#EXTINF:-1,TVN HD
http://192.168.1.3:8...=2?interlaced=0

 

Is transcoding swich ON all the time in the openpli image?

I was traying also to edit extensions web.py and plugin.py (and then delete *.pyo). 

Port 8002 is opened in the same way like 8001 in firewall, router.

I was trying also  with and without  authorisation in openwebif. (Transcodin setup in Openwebif on PC set to 8002)

 

Do not know where I made a fail..

[WanWizard]

When I select a transcoding stream (by clicking on the phone icon), I get an m3u with port 8002:

http://172.16.1.56:8002/1:0:19:5225:C99:3:EB0000:0:0:0:?bitrate=500000&width=720&height=576&aspectratio=2&interlaced=0

if you don't, it's a web interface problem. But remember that 6.2-release is old, so that could have issues. I'm pretty sure 7.2-release generates the correct URL.

 

I doubt that in both cases router port forwarding will work, as the URL contains your internal IP, not your public IP (assuming your router does NAT).

Which is a good idea, forwarding your stream ports to the internet is a very bad idea, your box will be part of an illegal IPTV streaming network in no time...

 

Instead, use a VPN to connect to your router.

[Zolyma]

How do we use vpn?
Configuration?

[WanWizard]

Depends on the capabilities of your router.

 

You could if really needed install OpenVPN on your box (and forward port 1194 on your router to it), but we advice against that if you have other options (most NAS devices also support VPNs) as the box is not a security device, and configuring it requires commandline knowledge.

[cekal99]

^{Thanks for your reply.}

 

^{It was the same on new 7.2 -release. That's why I changed to 6.2.}

 

^{On android device with app dreamPlayer the same thing happend. Streaming on 8001 (from outside local network) - impossible to transcode streaming on 8002.}

^{Is there a transcoding plugin in openpli where I can change streaming port? - I found only Transcoding setup (nothing with port changing there).} 

 

^{I wonder if I have a problem with the streamproxy. Maybe it's not running. I will try with this command (on putty?). I'm not expert in this matter. I got only filezilla og win10 (no linux). But maybe I can somehow start this command:} 

^{/etc/init.d/streamproxy.sh start}

[WanWizard]

Streamproxy should start automatically.

 

If you can connect to your box with putty, you can check with:

netstat -tlnp

it should list:

tcp        0      0 :::8002                 :::*                    LISTEN      1779/streamproxy
tcp        0      0 :::8003                 :::*                    LISTEN      1779/streamproxy

To test you can restart streamproxy in foreground mode:

/etc/init.d/streamproxy.sh stop
streamproxy -f

this will start a non-daemon session, with log to the console.

 

It will show you if your box is correctly detected, and when a stream connection happens, it will show you the debugging output.

 

You can stop it again with Ctrl-C, and restart it normally again with

/etc/init.d/streamproxy.sh start

Looks like problems with streamproxy start. Now its possible to transcode stream outside local network on android device on port 8002. openwebif (both streaming and transcoding buttons giving 8001) is working after manual changing to 8002.

It seems indeed after a fresh flash the streamproxy is not initially started.

[WanWizard]

What do you mean "after a fresh flash"? And what is changed so that it does start?

[DinDin]

For streaming outside of the local LAN, Zerotier is also a very interesting thing to try. When i go somewhere i just take my Firestick with Zeroter and dreamPlayer on it and connect with Zerotier directly to device. Work's like a charm.

[steef84]

Nice can you point me how to connect firestick to zerotier. Already connected to zerotier network on enigma2 uno4k. Is the an app for firestick? Already own Dreamplayer for FireTV

[DinDin]

There is nothing special, read a bit about how to sideload an app on firestick using Downloader app https://www.lifewire...fire-tv-4582671

Then just download ZeroTier one from ApkPure https://apkpure.com/...om.zerotier.one

Connect and create another profile in DreamPlayer.

 

This should be all. Please report.

[steef84]

Ahhh that wasn’t too hard to figure out. Thanks. Seems to work properly on firestick 4k and external profile transcoding on dreamplayer. Also for my portable IOS devices. Zerotier is the solution for me for connecting to my local receiver while having my network behind a vpn service! Thanks for pointing this Zerotier out!

[DinDin]

I was also suprised when someone told me to use Zerotier for direct connection without opening ports on router.  It really is a great thing.
