    Streaming mpeg audio from sat receiver doesn't work

    Suck,

    sometimes You try to get something to work and it just doesn't fall into places. Maybe You can give me some advice.

    The idea is instead to use the low bitrate streams from the world wide wait, why not using the 320kbps bitstreams from the sat receiver.

    They are send as
    Codec: mpga
    Type: Audio
    Channels: 2
    Sample rate: 48000
    Bitrate: 320kbps

    Streaming from the sat receiver to winamp on the PC works without a flaw: http://satboxip/audio.pls
    Tuning in via the slimcenter does only come with nothing to play ...

    The pls file contains:
    [playlist]
    File1=http://192.168.1.111:31343/8d
    Title1=B5 aktuell
    Length1=-1
    NumberOfEntries=1
    Version=2

    Any help, also how to debug this, is appreciated.

    Hi,

    here some logging I did on the streaming server side:

      If you are using slimserver 6.5.x then enable d_source as the debug flag.

      Then use you URL http://192.168.1.111:31343/8d in the Tune-in box. Do not bother with pls.

      Post the log.

          Both these logs seem to confirm that the URL is not responding to the initial HTTP request.

          Either there is some protection issue or the sat receiver doesn't "understand" the request from SS.
          What OS are you using ?
          What firewall s/w ?
          Are SS firewall settings different to Winamp ?

          Since Winamp works - you should find out what Winamp knows about the stream (e.g. protocol, ports, etc)

            Configuration

            Hi,

            the configuration I am having is the following:

            PC, Vista = 192.168.1.103, hosts slimserver 6.5.4,
            Firewall off
            Satreceiver = Dreambox = 192.168.1.111
            Winamp runs on the Vista PC

            Is there somewhere a desciption of the debugging commands of
            the slimserver?


            I have logged the winamp output:

              I think output of Dreambox is mpeg-2 and not MP3 - so you will need another app (e.g.mnplayer, vlc) to decode the stream.

              Usage of slimserver. To see if responding use d_http_async.

              Code:
              Usage: ./slimserver.pl [--audiodir <dir>] [--playlistdir <dir>] [--diag] [--daemon] [--stdio] [--logfile <logfilepath>]
                        [--user <username>]

                  --diag           => Use diagnostics, shows more verbose errors.  Also slows down library processing considerably
                  --logfile        => Specify a file for error logging.
                  --noLogTimestamp => Don't add timestamp to log output

                2nd thought

                Hi,

                what I want to see from the slim server is something
                similiar like:

                access_http debug: http: server='192.168.1.111' port=31343 file='/8d
                main debug: net: connecting to 192.168.1.111 port 31343
                main debug: connection in progress
                access_http debug: protocol 'HTTP' answer code 200

                as from winamp. How can this be debugged?

                Frank

                  -----------------------
                  So, everthing seems to work, just the audio needs to be handled then. There is no plugin to make the slimserver also to handle mpeg audio 2?

                    You need to find an application that can "play" your stream and output WAV - typically ffmpeg, mplayer or VLC.

                    Do you have any of those installed ?

                      Vlc

                      Hi,

                      well I have VLC installed. I try now to fetch the HTTP stream from the dreambox and stream it on port 1234 of the Vista box.
                      So fine so good. Options I am using:

                      VLC stream output:
                      Output: Play locally and http://192.168.1.103:1234
                      Encapsulation methode: ASF
                      Transcoding options: audio, mp3, 128kbps, channels 2

                      Resulting in the MRL:
                      :sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:dup licate{dst=display,dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst =192.168.1.103:1234}}

                      Using a second instance shows that audio is streamed on 1234.

                      Alright, this looks much better.
                      But then ...
                      No audio. The Squeezebox just shows now playing 0:00
                      Nothing else.

                      Closer, but not close enough :-) Any input what options I need
                      to transcode with?

                        Accoreding to you VLC sout you are outputting MP3 but the url you using has mms:// which imples wma.

                        You should be using a http:// url with an sout for mp3.

                          Hmm, that needs some more thinking, since I seem to get VLC problems now.

                          What encapsultation methode should be used for the slim device?
                          Raw?

                          Thanks for the help, by the way...

                            I am not very familiar with VLC but it looks like it is having problems loading a http module. Possibly you have specified http twice in the output.

                            so instead of
                            dst=std{access=http,mux=raw,dst=http://192.168.1.103:36000}
                            try
                            dst=std{access=http,mux=raw,dst=:36000/audio.mp3}

                            and stream from the IP address of system running VLC as
                            http://<PCIPaddress>:36000/audio.mp3

                              Finally

                              Obviously Your knowledge in VLC is much better than mine.

                              So with:

                              vlc http://192.168.1.111:31343/150 --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2}:std{acce ss=http,mux=raw,dst=:1234/audio.mp3}'

                              VLC takes the Dreambox Mpeg2 Audio stream and transcodes it and
                              makes it available as http stream on port 1234.
                              So tuning in with the slim server on http://vlcipaddress:1234/audio.mp3 makes the stream come true :-).

                              Thanks again for the support.
