In Topic: Some toughts about Enigma2 stream to Chromecast

11 January 2017 - 19:25

Thank you both. .Very interesting..

With the metod i mentioned above, (Dreamdroid and BubbleUpnp) I today streamed a HD channel from my STB (VuDuo2) to another location.(Not Lan), completly flawless and great quality.

But here you mention Miracast. I am not familiar with that. I guess it is similar to Chromecast?
Will this metod also work with Chromecast.

I have never compiled before so i need to read me up on that... :)

I do hope there will be development on this

I see now that you can skip this line: -Then in -Video encoding speed- choose -Ultra fast (use less CPU)--
That option is only available if you run a BubbleUpnp server, wich i did on my Synology NAS.
I removed the BubbleUpnp server package on my NAS and that option is now not available
But it dident make any difference. It streams great on most channels 
I see tho, that on some channels it will not decode properly, only halv screen.

And btw. Dreamdroid is only for Android, should have know by the name :)

Hello again.

@Erik Slagter

I think it could, but it may need a little decoding help....

 

After some more research, I found a more stable way to stream from enigma2 to chromecast

This was done on a Android phone, but I assume that it would be same on an Iphone, but not tested..
 

You need 2 applications from Play (Or appstore)

 

Dreamdroid and BubbleUpnp
 

Dreamdroid:

Do the settings on dreamdroid and assure you have a stable stream on your phone from your Enigma2 box
Then under settings -Video player- , uncheck -Integrated video player-

BubbleUpnp:
Choose your Chromecast under the -Renderer- tab (you will off course need to be on the same network)

Then go to -Settings-, choose  -Chromecast- 

In -Transecode settings- check -Transcode unsupported Chromecast media to a compatible format-

Then in -Video encoding speed- choose -Ultra fast (use less CPU)-

Now you can zap to your favorite channel with Dreamdroid, and when you stream, you need to choose to play it in BubbleUpnp
BubbleUpnp will then fetch the stream and output it to your Chromecast selected before..
The quality is great as well. No lags.

You can also choose language, but I hav not found any way to get subtitles from the stream.

What this means is that this is fully possible to stream from Enigma2 to chromecast. But it may always be rely of an device to transcode...

 

Have a nice day :)


In Topic: HDM-CECI: Only TV off/on, surround set has to stay on..

20 July 2016 - 17:14

I had the same problem with samsung led tv. It worked with my old samsung led 55", but not with my new.. I think my new dosent have CEC....?

 

The solutiion was to program my vu+ remote (TV power button on the upper left) to turn off tv.
I also enabled the volume up/down from VU+ remote to control volume on surround system via CEC in the image on my VU+

 

It works like a charm  :D
