Serviio

is it possible to do multiple simultaneous streams via online plugins? or is it restricted to a single stream at a time?

Whenever one device is streaming and another tries to start something it kills the connection for the first device.

It should allow for it. Are these live streams? Post detailed log of when the stream is stopped.

just tested it again and it did the same thing. It happens when streaming shows using the hulu plugin.

wife was watching glee off the xbox and I tried to start an ep of simpsons using my android device.

the xbox will stop the stream in progress, flash the name of the ep I am playing on my tablet and then go black.

Attaching the log file.

What's the IP of the xbox and phone?

It looks like the 2 files are accessed from the same IP



If the IP is the same it'll stop transcoding (if there is no other consumer of the stream).

That's strange.

the phone is 42.57
the xbox is 42.106

any ideas on how serviio thinks these devices are using the same IP? It's virtually impossible for them to be using the same address on the network so I would have to assume serviio is having trouble distinguishing the two devices for some reason.

it's possible to identify a connection by IP and Port #. but i don't understand why it was decided that these devices used the same IP:

Could you send a new log, starting a bit earlier? Basically try to:

1) Browse to the file on XBox
2) play the file
3) browse to a file on phone
4) play a file

What seems to be happening is that the phone browses for list of items and then makes the request for the fle, but from the incomming connection it looks like this:



It's requesting the right remuxed file (AVC_TS_MP...) for the phone, but the connection looks like it's coming from .106 (incl. the XBox user agent). Serviio then things it's a new request from the XBox, stops the previous transcode job, tries to start a new one, but because it transcodes to WMV it fails (as the expected output is AVC_TS_MP...).

Looks like the connections are reused or something.

You could also change your Java version.

I upgraded to 1.1 and tried again, same deal.

Here is the full logs for the server.

Thanks, I will try to reproduce it next week at home.

I can't reproduce it, I'm able to play a online feed in xbox and a Sony TV at the same time, no profile switching happens. Does that happen for local files too? Try to play MKV on the Xbox and then on your phone (using a Bravia profile for example).

I have done a bunch of additional testing. I have had up to four devices puling streams simultaneously without issue.

So far I cannot reproduce it either unless I run through the described scenario above. I will try it with regular movies and report back.

I resolved the issue, this whole deal is a feature on my phone and I am sorry but it appears it had nothing to do with serviio

When i play movies on my phone... I can change the output.. and one of the options is xbox 360. it uses some method where it just takes over whatever the xbox is doing and uses it to show the movie. pretty cool actually.. but I set the option by accident.

Cool. Thanks for feeding it back.
