Hulu or Me?
When watching hulu from around 7:00 PM through 11:00 PM the Hulu shows will stutter or briefly pause and then begin playing. During other hours of the day they play fine. The symptoms seem to indicate network overload but I'm not sure if it is my ISP or Hulu. When this happens I check my bandwidth speed using Speakeasy and it is 8 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. Exactly what it should be. Is anyone else experiencing these Hulu problems during the evening? Why are the shows stuttering during my prime-time TV viewing hours??

Actually, after taking a closer look, it looks like it's not as easy as I thought to add the extra Playon channel (from the playon plugin). It looks like I need to make two files below:
CustomOnlineVideoLinks_UPnP2Podcast_Playon-plugin.properties CustomOnlineVideoUIText_UPnP2Podcast_Playon-plugin.properties Could someone please help me with what to put in the below file? Or, maybe some guidelines to get started? CustomOnlineVideoLinks_UPnP2Podcast_Playon-plugin.properties. Thanks, Michael Quote:

Hey Evil:
Is there a way in the Sage7 beta that we can create a shorcut directly to the main screen for this plugin? I ask b/c now my GF is complaining that she has to hop down like n-level of screens to get to streaming content. . . previously it was a lot easier. She is also confused that she now has to go to "Hulu" 1st then find a network, rather than just having all the networks available on the main screen.

I think I kind of shot myself in the foot by spoiling all of you with my meticulously hand organized/optimized/hacked version of the PlayON tree in v6 because now that I've actually written the proper plugin you want the hacks back
No worries though, I anticipated this and have the code in place to support bringing back the old, optimized, .properties files like before (read: network shortcuts), but i'm too swamped right now to get everything working. In the meantime, if you want them back, here's some manual steps you can do... 1) Copy both the CustomOnlineVideoLinks_UPnP2Podcast_Hulu.properties and CustomOnlineVideoText_UPnP2Podcast_Hulu.properties files from Code:
STVs\SageTV3\OnlineVideos\ Code:
STVs\SageTV7\OnlineVideos\ 3) Go to the More Online Content menu and the Networks should be back and working. FYI, What you're seeing now is how PlayON is actually organized. It's a bit of a mess and I recommend you let them know that you'd like it to be easier, especially if they expect people to start paying a yearly fee.

EP,
I'm just curious if there is anyway to make different requests appear that they are coming from a different device? I just canceled pay TV since I mainly only watch local channels anyways, but for the few network shows I do watch, PlayOn and your plugin work great. I just tried having PlayOn streaming a show to my living room, then I went upstairs and tried to start another show. The show upstairs started playing, but the downstairs TV stopped playing and went to a black screen. Per PlayOn, the server will stream multiple streams as long as they are being sent to different devices. For example, PS3 and Xbox 360. Is there a way that your Perl script can adjust a device ID randomly and every time we request a video, the PlayOn server thinks a new device is requesting the video? Thanks

I just got more information from PlayOn. I guess the device ID only tells the server how to transcode the video, but the way to get the PlayOn server to serve up multiple streams is to have multiple IP addresses requesting the videos. Is there anyway that we could request the video via the IP addresses of the client instead of the server?
Thanks

Hi Evilpenguin, thanks for replying. I'm already using sageTV 7. However, I'm using sageMC for my STV. How would I load this plugin? All I want to do is see the channel that's added by the Playon plugin.
Thanks! Michael Quote:

Question regarding stopping and resuming a PlayOn recording.
When watching a stream like SG1, PlayON has the nice feature (if checked) to let you resume the stream later on if I stop it. So later on I can start the stream again and fast forward to where I left off. Now, if I start to stream a different show it forgets about the other stream I had in progress. According to PlayOn support, they let you stream more than one recording at a time, so this begs to ask, what is causing the second stream to kill / stop the first stream from completing? Is it this plugin? Can this be changed? |

My post above explains why the first stream is stopping. PlayOn can send multiple streams to different devices. Since all your requests to PlayOn are from the SageTV server, this results in only 1 stream at a time. PlayOn determines a different device by a different IP address. This is why I asked the question to see if we could make the requests come from the clients or extenders instead of the server. This would allow you to stream 2 different shows to 2 TV's in your house.

So what about if we add a second NIC (Network Card) to our PVR so that it will have two network connections. Or is the IP device the HD200 (for my case) and it is not the PVR IP address? |

One thing that may be an idea, make a few virtual network adapters on the server with different private IP addresses, but all communication will route to localhost. Then have the plugin just send the request from each adapter in a round robin fashion. If you want to have 5 streams at a time, create 5 virtual adapters and so on. Anyone think this is doable? Thanks

Sounds like it will work, but let's think about this.
You are suggesting virtual IPs on the PVR server, but the end point (HD200 in my case) has only one IP and cannot be changed without major SageTV mods. No? Your idea on the surface looks good however |
