I start VLC like this:
vlc-wrapper --ttl 1 --color -I telnet --telnet-password xxxxxx --vlm-conf /video/vlm.conf &
Where vlm.conf has all the channels from VDR and looks like this:
new 52767 broadcast enabled (New broadcast, channel number padded +20000 to avoid conflicts with other services)
setup 52767 input http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:3000/TS/32767 (Input stream from VDR/Streamdev)
setup 52767 output #std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:52767} (Output stream from VLC : http://<ip-address>:52767)
I used awk to convert channels.conf to vlm.conf. my command is listed below. It will probably need some work :)
awk '{sub(":@", ""); chann = $0 + 20000; print "new " chann " broadcast enabled"; print "setup " chann " input http://vdr.decord.com:3000/TS/"$0; print "setup " chann " output #std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:"chann "}" }' channels.conf
You can then telnet into VLC like this : telnet xxx.xxx.xx.xx 4212
start streaming:
control 52767 play
The stream will be available at: http://<ip-address>:52767
I have a page with links like this: <a href="" vod>channel</a>
stop streaming:
control 52767 stop
This is just a hack, until hopefully VDR/streamdev will be able stream to the PCH without causing it to freeze.
But using this method I am able to watch channels within 2~3 seconds of clicking on them, plus no freezing :)
VLC shows alot of errors like those listed below, but is able to fix the stream to make it playable on the PCH
libdvbpsi error (PSI decoder): TS discontinuity (received 12, expected 0) for PID 0

Hi Goka777,
This week I switched to vdr-1.7.4 and streamdev-cvs (both without any patches).
Its better than vdr-1.7.0 and streamdev-1.3.4 but popcornhour still
sometimes freezes (while watching SD /HDTV channels) and power off
from electrical network is needed.
I tried Nova HD and Eurosport HD channels and I am able to watch both
of them. But sometimes with freezing.
With what can I help? Could I save stream and store somewhere to FTP
for analysing or send some logs from vdr?
Best regards, Tomas
