I need help setting up XBox 360 live stream

I have a live stream playing on VLC (aceplayer), which I pass to an HTTP stream which is accessible via my pc.

I set up the link as http://192.168.1.102:8203/tv.asf

102 is the address of my pc.

If I launch this link WMP plays the live stream perfectly.

I have inserted this link into the SERVIIO console Online Sources. I also validated the link and a check mark became green.

I go to the xbox and launch the online sources directory and click the above link, but it fails to launch. It waits a few seconds an error says connection to your computer was lost, make sure your computer is turned on.

Is this not the correct method to launch a live stream??

I tried the FFMPEG test and it runs and shows me stream info but at the end in red it says "at least one output file must be specified"


Thanks for the help.

Post detailed log trying to play the file.

Also post result of

ffmpeg -i "stream url"

Okay here is the log file, as well I have the screen ffmpeg - i output.

Thanks for helping.

There is nothing in the log suggesting you tried to play the file, are you sure you did it right?

Ooops sorry about that here is the LOG after I try and run the file from the Xbox.

It starts opening then errors out.

Thanks again for assisting.

Let me know if I can supply more info.

It's not detailed log . There should be a lot of DEBUG statements.

One of those weeks, I forgot to restart Serviio.

I checked before I uploaded this time and DEBUG info is present.

Thanks Zip.

How long does it take to start this command and create the output.asf file?

  Code:

ffmpeg.exe -analyzeduration 10000000 -threads auto -i http://192.168.1.102:8903/tv.asf -y -threads auto -c:v wmv2 -b:v 15360k -maxrate:v 15360k -bufsize:v 15360k -vf scale=1024:576,setsar=1 -r 25 -g 15 -c:a wmav2 -b:a 128k -ac 1 -map 0:1 -map 0:0 -sn -f asf output.asf


It took 10 seconds before the first line that says "frame= 56 fps=0.0 q=2.0 size= 569kB time=00:00:02.37 bitrate=1967.4kbits/s" appears in the output line.

I have attached the output file of this FFmpeg run as well.

Try to set

  Code:

keepStreamOpen="true"

on the OnlineTranscoding element of the profile.

Changed setting under xbox 360 to <OnlineTranscoding keepStreamOpen="true"> in file profiles.xml.

Same issue. Attached new Logs.

Thank You

Hmm... the XBox rejected the stream immediately. This device seems very picky with the live streams ( I never had problems during testing, but some other users did). Do other online streams (ie not local) work for you?

I am able to get SOME live streams through the Windows Media Center app through the xbox, which I am streaming from online on my pc through Sopcast. I have been unable to get any of these streams even to play through Serviio however.

Do you have an xbox for development purposes?

yes I do

Petr do you feel that there may be hope to getting the xbox 360 live stream working at all? Or is it a hopeless platform and the better option would be picking up a used WD Live?

The stupid thing is I bought a new Roku recently, and that can't live stream either no DLNA compliance I believe, so with the Xbox lying around and it being DLNA I figured give it a go.

If you have any other thoughts on things we could try as well I would gladly do that to try and get it working.

I had problems with it, so it's a bit dodgy. It's not really DLNA compliant (just UPnP AFAIK).

Roku - search the forum for Chaneru, it should be a DLNA plugin for Roku which works with Serviio (hopefully including live streams)

Unfortunately my understanding is that the latest Chaneru still does not support live streams yet.
