| + | ====== Streaming Broadcast signals via a tv capture card ====== | ||
| + | If you have a server with a tv tuner card you can use VLC to stream channels off your card and then stream them via serviio. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Note1** These instructions are for windows, but linux should work. | ||
| + | **Note2** You wont have any dvr capabilities when you push channels using this method, you can only view what is currently being broadcast. | ||
| + | **Note3** I tested with a card that had a built in mpeg2 encoder, performance of the stream may vary depending on the tuner card. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Prequisites** | ||
| + | |||
| + | - install the relevant drivers for your capture card | ||
| + | - install latest version of VLC | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Steps** | ||
| + | |||
| + | Open VLC and select the file menu and click Stream | ||
| + | |||
| + | Select the capture device tab and select Directshow for the capture mode. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Under Video Device Name, you should be able to select your capture card, same under audio device | ||
| + | |||
| + | Click the Advanced options button and check device and tuner properties options | ||
| + | |||
| + | select the stream button at the bottom | ||
| + | |||
| + | select next on the stream output screen | ||
| + | |||
| + | change the destination to rtsp and hit add | ||
| + | |||
| + | for the transcoding section, you can transcode if you would like. the video will be coming off the card in whatever format is supportted by the card.. In my case I had an mpeg encoder onboard so it used that format and I didn't do transcoding. | ||
| + | |||
| + | select the stream button at the bottom of the screen | ||
| + | |||
| + | a few options dialog box will come up depending on your tuner card, this is where you select the channel for this stream. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A dialog will show in the vlc playlist that says " | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Your RTSP tuner stream is now active** | ||
| + | |||
| + | open up your serviio console | ||
| + | |||
| + | select the online sources tab | ||
| + | |||
| + | click add | ||
| + | |||
| + | Source Type - Live Stream | ||
| + | |||
| + | Source URL - rtsp:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | click Add one more time | ||
| + | |||
| + | ** you have now added the stream to serviio and will be able to access it from your dlna clients ** | ||
| + | |||
| + | There is a way to activate the stream via command line also, but I have not dug into that yet. I'll update the article if I get that working. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Here is the guide I worked off | ||
