Serviio + Acestream + SmartTV

Hello,

i am trying to get a video stream to work. So far no luck.

I expended a few hours already, read all the forum posts about AceStream I could, and many online guides around. But somehow I still cannot play the content that is streamed to my TV (SAMSUNG UE40H6400). I saw the stream icon in Online folder, but no luck to play it.

1. AceStream is working fine and I get to see streams on my PC.

2. My streaming link is http://localhost:8902/tv.asf and is working fine.

3. I go to Serviio Console, then Library, then Online Sources. Then I do everything by the books. Select Source type = Live Stream, add the above link, set the remaining settings (video, display name and thumbnail). Even click on "Check stream URL" and get a green V.

4. Stop the server and restart the server.

5. I saw the stream icon in Online folder, but no luck to play it.

You must substitute "locahost" to your I.P adress.

Re: AceStream
Follow the below instructions which i picked up on the net:

Create an http stream:
This can only be done by using the full AceStream player, not the browser plugin. Unlike streaming from any other source like an AVI file or webcam, you can't setup an http stream directly from the AceStream player interface, but there is a workaround which is very easy.

1) start up the AceStream player and go to Options > Preferences
--> Show all options (bottom left of the popup screen)
--->select streamoutput

--> enter this code in the Default Stream Output Chain field: #duplicate{dst="http{mux=ts,dst=:8902/tv.asf}",dst=display}

This code will create a http stream for every video that is played with the AceStream player. In this example, the AS player will "forward" the video to http://localhost:8902/tv.asf which is the same as the default Sopcast stream. This can be customized to suit your needs and can even include transcoding options.

Play the stream with your favourite device and enjoy!

Just did this myself this morning and got it working fine. created an on-line live stream pointing to http://192.168.0.8:8902/tv.asf (my sever address), started Acestream and let it buffer for 5 mins and then started the stream on my Panasonic TV.
