In looking at the m3u8 file this Sage plugin generates, I noticed that the URL it specifies to my sagetv server does NOT have a username/password specified in the URL. Could that be the problem? e.g. when XBMC tries to open the embedded URLs in the m3u8 file, it simply can't login to the SageTV server? Or is that cached somehow when it first downloads the m3u8 file?

EDIT: Scratch that. I did a test where I used the initial m3u8 file from this plugin and then created a copy of it that includes the username/password info. If I rename both to have a .strm extension and open both in XBMC, both playback just fine. I think this is back in XBMC's court to understand what m3u8 files are handled differently and why this isn't working

I actually had to drop the credential requirement as most Android third party video players were not handling them properly... But the Apple product were indeed caching the initial one.

I installed the plugins, went into Jetty and changed username and password. On my iPad I opened Safari and put xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/sagem/m/ in the url line. It asks for username and password and I put the ones from Jetty but it won't let me in. Any help would be appreciated. I've also tried other username/pw combinations from my computer but it won't let me in.

Never mind - got it working. This plugin is pretty cool, hats off to Jason.

PQ on my iPad and iPod Touch are poor. I'm thinking my computer just doesn't have enough processing power (Intel Pentium D 2.80 GHz). CPU usage was reading in the 80-85% range. I don't think the limiting factor is my wifi because internet video, e.g. ABC Player produces much better quality video.

You can check the mediastreaming log and see what bit rate it's using, which would tell you if it's a wifi issue or not. Look for:

&Quality=440

where 440 can be any values among: {150, 240, 440, 640, 840, 1240, 1840}

If you want to play with the URL, you could force some higher resolution using:

&Height=1024&Width=768

Alternatively, you could use TiSageTV which would do that for you.

Hi there
Just wondering if I could watch the movies on my Sagetv server instead of the recording on the server.
PS: Its for my daughter's iPad. She likes to watch her movies (on the sagetv server) at her ipad.
Thanks

Im trying to create a channel for Roku which would playback a live channel from my SageTV, however im experencing some issues was wondering if anyone has had this behaivor....

On VLC if I open this link (relative to my sage)

http://192.168.x.xxx:8080/stream/HTT...20&Quality=840

It plays the live feed of the channel (just like 10 sec of buffer), however if I put that same url for playback on a custom channel on a Roku, it starts from the begginng of the recording, and if it skip it justs stops the playback. What I would be actually looking is to watch the same as VLC.

Any suggestions on what would be the issue? A missing parameter on the Roku request? Hope someone could give me some light
