Does anyone know how to brodcast video from PC to mda? I have DVB PCI Satteile and I would like to stream a channel via internet to my MDA. I am using orb for streaming video files, pictures or musice not satellite tv.
I assume you are not trying to receive FTA and are using something like ProgDVB to decrypt the stream then MyTheatre to render the video? Problem is DVB-S cards do not handle video the same way as normal tv tuners where the video terminates on the card so to speak. DVB-S cards provide demodulation of the satellite signal, if you are trying to watch encrypted feeds then something like ProgDVB is used to send then decrypt the demodulated feed then pass it on to another app for rendering.
You could try to send the decrypted TV signal out, install a TV tuner and loop the signal back in to the TV tuner and use that card to tune the sat channels. Don't know if it would work with progdvb or the other variants out there.
How are folks casting from media servers to the receiver using the chromecast?
Is it possible to use a USB cable from the microserver to the chromecast or does the device default to the wireless network?
Wireless connection, the usb is purely for power.

As above, the USB socket is only for power.
I have a Microserver (N40L), with Serviio installed, along with BubbleUPNP server.
I am using BubbleUPNP (paid for version) on my Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and my old Andypad.
The settings I use in the BubbleUPNP app (under ChromeCast) are:
Video Encoding Speed - Ultra Fast
Max Video Bitrate - 4000
Enforce Max Video Bitrate - Checked
Preserve Multichannel Audio - Unchecked (The TV I have my chromecast in doesn't have surround, so a waste of bandwidth for me)
This produces streaming DVD ripped MKVs without any loss of perceivable quality as far as I'm concerned. I've yet to try BluRay rips, but I only bothered ripping a few, and those stuttered over the wired LAN, so guessing Wireless won't be anywhere near as good as that!
I'd like to be able to watch live TV on my Nook HD+ (Cyanogenmod 10.2.1), after all it's portable, wireless and has more pixels than my 32" telly. Internet streams (BBC iPlayer, ITV Player) have terrible compression artifacts. Broadcasts received through a roof-top aerial offer substantially better quality. So I have got a USB dvb-t/dvb-t2 tuner plugged into my aerial and an old laptop. Using this and VLC, I can receive Freeview SD and HD multiplexs and stream the selected TV channel over my LAN.
The Nook HD+ can play network streamed videos, using either XBMC or MX Player. While this works well for the SD channels, the tablet won't play the HD channels. This is a Nook specific problem; because the same setup can stream to a RapsberryPi with Openelec and it plays the HD okay. So the Nook is trying to play the HD streamed TV channels using software decoding and naturally doesn't have the CPU power to manage.
Which leads to the question, why won't the hardware decoder accept the stream? MPEG2-ts, 1080i, h.264 video and aac audio, these shouldn't be a problem. What is it about the broadcast signal that is tripping up the Nook's GPU? Is there a workaround?
Inadvertently fixed it seems, live streaming from dvb-t2 usb tuner is working for me now. I've got h/w+ decoding in MX Player and h/w decoding in DICE Player. Hurrah, objective accomplished, from aerial to tablet, my Nook HD+ can play broadcast Freeview HD channels.
How has you connected your usb tv receiver to your nook hd ? my nook hd has no usb port.
Wifi. I did wonder about using the USBhost switcher app (and a USB cable adapter), but the real problem was plugging the tuner into a convenient aerial outlet, and conversely the huge benefit of being wireless.
These day I'm using a Raspberry Pi rather than a old laptop as the server. TV tuner plugs into a Raspberry Pi, running Tvheadend/Openelec to receive and stream the channels, which connects by ethernet cable to a router. Kodi 14.2 on the HD+ receives the stream by wifi and plays it, just need to configure with the IP address of the Pi.
I gave up on the HD broadcasts though, stuttering motion proved to be more annoying than SD fuzziness while watching live sport. I did wonder if the Nook's hardware decoder was trying to play 50hz broadcasts at 60hz.
Hi
I have a chromecast and I would like to use it to stream video from my local network (I have a HDD connected to my ISP router) at this time I use plex on one of my pc, it works great but I want to stream video without PC (and I don't want to buy a NAS) So I connected a HDD to a USB 2 port of my Livebox 2 (french ISP router) and I try to stream it to my chromecast
I try with allcast on my nexus 4 but when I start streaming some file to my chromecast I saw the video without sound
Is it only a codec problem from the chromecast ?
If yes, is there a alternative with better codec compatibilities ?
Is it posssible that the sound bug come from my network speed (ethernet 100mega and wifi 130 mega) ?
The video I try to play on chromecast with Allcast (I try also local cast) is a mkv file in H264
audio stream : AC-3 192 kbps 48 kHz 16 bits 2 channels
video stream : ACV 4989 kbps 1912*1072 (16/9 25 fps [email protected]) (CABAC / 4 ref frames)
Have you got any solution ?
Thanks
The fastest solution is Plex. Register online, download the media server, put your videos onto the server, log in at plex.com/app to play your home videos.
Easy as an HDMI cable.
as I said in my first post. At the moment I use a plex server on a PC but I want to know if it is possible to watch video on my chromecast without any PC powered on, only with the network
Hi!
My wife is an Apple person and I'm trying to help her so she can watch her videos that are stored on a USB stick connected to the router on the TV.
The setup:
Asus AC86U with an 128GB USB stick (ext2)
old Panasonic plasma TV with Chromecast
I want an app on her iPhone/iPad that can access the videos on USB stick connected to the router and then cast it to the Chromecast connected to the TV with subtitle support. I have tried with VLC on her iPhone, but there's a known bug when the iPhone screen turns off, the streaming stops.
I'm currently trying the same thing for me but on an Galaxy S7, if anyone has some experience there, It seems like VLC can't use subtitles when trying to do this and I've tried LocalCast, but it's quite buggy.
