Download and install TVU Player you can grab it from viidoo.com
Open up the software and you should see a channel list with the available channels
Now click on a stream and see if everythings working I.E can you see the stream?
While it is streaming got to the directory it is installed to I.E C:\Program Files\TVUPlayer and open the LOG.TXT
Look for something like "Local Play Port= " and note down the port number most likely "8901"
NOW here's the tricky bit you need to assign a static ip adress for the network adapter that connects to your wireless router
In my case I got my ethernet socket hooked up to my router so I open up network connections
Right Click my Ehternet Adapter and click on Properties
In the new window that pops up I scroll to TCP/IP then click on the Properties button just below
I tick the box specify IP Adress and set it as something friendly with my router and othe PC's I.E Not the same ip adress as the router and within the range of IP adresses router assigns
These are my settings
IP ADRESSE: 192.168.1.5
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0 (set automatically)
DEFAULT GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1 (IP of my router)
Now that you have specified a IP adress and connected to your wireless router its time to install the Custom VLC package thats bundled in the rar package (link in 1st post)
But before that open up Command Prompt and type in IPCONFIG
You should see the IP you have just specified and the IP of your Internet Connection
Now onto VLC installation using provided install which is in the Rar package in the 1st post
3. Installation
===============
1) If you have another VLC version installed, first uninstall it and make sure to delete preferences and cache!!
(delete directory c:\Documents and Settings\"yournamehere"\Application Data\vlc)
2) install the supplied VLC 0.8.5 on your PC. The file is called vlc-0.8.5-psp-x264-win32.exe available in a separate binary of the distribution. Sorry this is for windows only. Someone has to (cross-)compile versions for Mac and Linux. Maybe if I have time I will do it myself.
3) On windows create a shortcut to vlc.exe where target looks like this:
"D:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --extraintf=http
(note that your path may be different from mine).
On other platforms make sure that vlc is started with the parameters:
--extraintf=http
Now lets test everything out too see if everything is working so far
STEP1: Open TVU Player and double click on a stream wait for the video to start playing
STEP2: Double Click Desktop Shortcut of VLC you have just installed
STEP3: In VLC go to File>Open Network Stream then check the HTTP box and type in the ip adress you have specified followed by the TVU PLAYER PORT you noted down from the log.txt in my case it was
192.168.1.5:8901
Press OK wait a couple of secs and you should see the video stream from the TVU player playing in VLC if so continue o the next step
If you don't see anything make sure TVU Player is umm playing and that you have typed in the correct IP adress and PORT number
OK now again go to File>Open Network Stream in VLC and check HTTP box and type in the specified IP adress followed by the TVU PLAYER PORT number
Then scroll down and tick the Stream/Save box and the Caching box set Caching to 500 the click the Settings button a new window should pop up
In this window tick the HTTP box and type specified IP adress again in my case it was
192.168.1.5
Leave the port number as it is (should be 1234)
In encapsulation tick OGG checkbox
In Transcoding Options
Tick Video Codec checkbox in drop down selection put
Video Codec DIV3 Bitrate (kb/s) 768 Scale 1
Tick Audio Codec checkbox in the drop down selection put
Audio Codec mp3 Bitrate (kb/s) 64 Channels 2
Press OK you should be kicked back to the Open Dialog box now before you press OK again make sure TVU player is running and a stream is playing
VLC should now be playing but the timer should be at 0 and you wont be able to see the video stream playing in VLC
PMPVLC PSP INSTALLATION
3. Installation
===============
1) copy the PMP VLC binaries to your PSP (/PSP/GAME/PMPVLC009_JockyW and PMPVLC009_JockyW%)
2) edit pmp.ini and copy it to /PSP/GAME/PMPVLC009_JockyW
3) copy the file VLC-ENABLE.AVI (in the VLC directory of the distribution) to your memstick in /PSP/VIDEO/
==> See below for an example of pmp.ini <==
You can find the example PMP.INI files to edit in the package PMPVLC came in (see 1st post) under
PMP.INI SAMPLES
/Livestreams
/no-AVC std quality
/PMP.INI
You can ignore the
# Net Io Config section as thats settings for using PMPVLC to play local files that reside on your HD but there are better software for doing that i.e PIMPSTREAMER
What you want is to change the values in the transcoding section to the following
# VLC transcoding settings
[transcode]
res_horiz = 360;
res_vert = 272;
use_avc_hw = 0;
vid_codec = DIV3;
vid_bitrate = 768;
vid_fps = 25;
venc = x264{me=dia,subme=1,analyse=none,bframes=0,b-adapt=none,chroma-me=none,merange=1};
aud_codec = mp3;
aud_bitrate = 64;
aud_channels = 2;
resample = 1;
aud_samplerate = 44100;
container = ogg;
In the next sextion called Live stream server change the IP adress and Port to the one you specified earlier in the Stream/Save settings
# live stream server
[live]
liveserver = 192.168.1.5;
liveport = 1234;
Save changes to the PMP.INI file and copy it over to your PSP in the relevant directory
Before you boot up PMPVLC on your PSP make sure your NetworkSettings on your PSP that allow you to connect to the wireless router are working
Boot up PMP VLC press R trigger to enable network once enabled (you'll se ip adress in green) press SELECT then choose Live Stream by pressing O
It should say loading then after about 20-30 secs start playing your stream
IF you don't see anything ensure VLC on PC is running and playing and that TVU player is playing a channel
IF it still doesn't work double check IP and PORT in Open Network Stream and in the Stream/Save Settings
Also make sure that PORT 1234 is opened on your firewall and your router
ONCE you got it all working you can save settings so that to get the Stream up and running you open TVU player click on channel you want to watch then click on VLC
I am able to do all this remotely as I have VNC setup on my psp which lets me control my PC also if you can acess allthis from foreign hotspots if you enter your INTERNET connection IP ADRESS in the steps above
Let me know if you have any troubles
