Esko: Thanks for the feedback..

I was three days trying to get a solution, but something doesn't work.

My goal is that if people follow the wiki and read the referenced info when they run into problems, and not change things, it would work fine. I've changed some things in the Wiki as follows:

I think that Win 7 64bit with dual monitors can cause some extra problems when trying to stream a film from PC to a Samsung.

Per the WIKI: "see the read me for instructions on how to run the....\configuration_setup_utility"
and Per the SCR read-me:"By default, it captures the "full screen" of the main desktop monitor (all windows, overlapping, there). To configure it differently, run the provided "configuration setup utilities". I've added the suggestion to the Wiki that users should always read the read-me after installing SCR.

Does the streaming to a Samsung need an audio-grabber?

Per the wiki: To get Serviio to play the video stream you also need to include an audio track...To stream your desktop you need to install ...a directshow audio input filter to capture the sound output from the application. I've changed the above in the wiki to "you mustinclude an audio track.

after the editing of the StreamDesktop.bat-file on the WIKI. However, it was not possible to do anything to audio, because in my Won 7 64bit I don't find out, where to find "Line 1".

If you did not install the audio grabber which gives "line 1", and/or took it out of the bat then you won't be able to find it either in VLC or your playback devices. Regardless I have added info to the wiki to verify that the grabbers displayed in VLC match to those used in the .bat file.

My Samsung D6300 can find out my PC and Serviio, but nothing about my desktop, only the "videos/music/pictures"

It looks like you missed the need per the Wiki intro: "The only Serviio change is to add the livestream from your PC to the Serviio console ie: http:192.168.1.10:8081" and "Finally, to setup Serviio to play the stream, add your PC's static address to the Serviio Console/Online Sources/Live Stream in the form http://192.168.1.10:8081" Can you suggest how to change this so others don't miss it?

The improved wiki should help you get this working.
Please post any new feed back to “streaming desk top to tv” thread http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4660&p=32269
as requested in the wiki.

i think this changed with 0.6.1 so now an audio track isnt required ? zip can u confirm.

Could be but I'm not going to try and support various options. I've only included the fee VAC option because of free VACGD problems. Once that works I'll only maintain the working free SCR/VACGD process, that I use myself. Others may wish to use mine as a base for Video only and Linux setups. The change log should facilitate that.

I've removed the "must" and added the non-support of the video only option.

True.

Apology in advance to resurrect this old thread.

I am trying to organize hulu feeds to get me just the latest episodes of comedy central shows. I can individually add the hulu feeds in serviio console but i rather have them in one feed with new episodes on the top. So i decided to use yahoo pipes. I got the feed the way i wanted. Here is the link http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=793f0305c4dd821379d4fe9ada41e46c&_render=rss. The source for the pipe can be found here [http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=793f0305c4dd821379d4fe9ada41e46c] Now the hard part is making it work with serviio. The serviio complains the feed is not type of video. I added the type=video/mp4 in the link itself but it is still not working.

  Code:

I know it is not the serviio but the issue is with my feed. Do i need < Enclosure> element in the feed also?
thank you

You would have to write a plugin for this feed. The current one is not invoked. Or you'd have to replicate the feed structure the original Hulu feed has and update the plugin to get invoked for the yahoopipes domain.

Got it. Now enjoying latest episodes from my fav shows one after another.

Just for the readers who might stumble upon this thread in the future - here is what i did per ZIP's suggestion.

1. Copied hulu.groovy as a new groovy
2. Changed VALID_FEED_URL to match the feed link url from the yahoo pipes.

  Code:

final VALID_FEED_URL = '^(?:https?://)?(pipes\\.|rss\\.)?yahoo\\.com/.*$'

Note: groovy references a hulu player. My yahoo pipe feeds are all from hulu.com.


***Update:***
Use following regular expression if you just want to deal with individual rss feed from yahoo pipes. Above regex matches all yahoo pipes sources and might break other feed, if you are using multiple yahoo pipes .

  Code:

final VALID_FEED_URL = '(http:\\/\\/pipes\\.yahoo\\.com\\/pipes\\/pipe\\.run\\?_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&_render=rss)'

nice one
