AndroidDreamer-streaming in LAN (soon 3G) with Enigma1 and Enigma2
AndroidDreamer (Beta 1.0 of 05/12/2010)
This beta release supports streaming both for Enigma and Enigma2 but requires VLC installed on a PC that will act as a VLC-server (transcoding-server).
AndroidDreamer is very simple in this moment and does not yet support HTTPS (SSL), EPG, Remote Control, Timer Management etc. It was written quickly to test streaming.
1) Install VLC (I have tested with VLC 1.05 and 1.15) on a computer. I have tested only Windows but it might work on Linux and MAC as well.
2) Start VLC, go to View -> Add Interface -> Web Interface
2a) The following might or might not be necessary.:
- If you get connections-errors, then in the videolan-folder (C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http) in your computer, open the file ".hosts" in a text editor.Remove the hash sign (#) in front of the private addresses of your local network (usually "192.168.0.0/16" or "192.168.1.0/16"). You can also remove the hash sign in front of 0.0.0.0/0. Save the file.
3a) on the device, ensure that in settings, applications "unknown sources" are enabled
3b) copy the apk on the device and install (use a file-explorer such as Astra or other)
3c) start application on Android and fill in your parameters. Probably you can leave VLC DST-port and VLC HTTP-port as they are.
Make sure VLC Ip Adress is the IP of the PC where VLC is installed
3d) click on View Bouquets
3e) select Bouquet and channel
3f) click on a channel and you will get a message asking if you want to stream. Say yes
3g) select SOUT (there are 4 options - MP4V and H263 should work on most devices. H264 depends on device)
3i) if everything works, you should see streaming
Please note that by exiting AndroidDreamer, using the regular-back button on your Android-device, VLC will stop the stream. This is important, especially for Enigma2 where otherwise channel-change can be blocked (normal behaviour). If you want, you can use the kill VLC/Stream button as well.
Please report if AndroidDreamer works for you, indicating which Android-device and wh
