someone needs to add this to the readme and first post. those unfamiliar wth networking may never figure this out

[omracer]

it works now.
thanks

[TheKing]

I can successfully stream video to my PSP, but the program is unstable. It keeps crashing on me while playing. BTW, I've also installed JockyW's PMPVLC Player 0.0.9 for fw1.5 and it's very stable. Do you think you can fix the stability issues? Thanks!

[BRAiN8]

so this absolutely can't be used with the lastest vlc?

[ardatan]

No. This is special version for AVC decoding. TheKing, if you activated some plugins for game(game.txt). Program may crash. But this version has the same codec library with 0.0.9 version...

[salvy]

yea i finally made it work my issue was i erasing the :1234 after the ip address,

great app, only issues is im having too many freezes, with no plugins i hope this getes better

[seriosbrad]

# live stream server

My router IP address is: 192.168.1.1

ardatan, I don't have any plugins installed. I've tested it on both my Phat & Slim PSP. They both crashed while playing video. Sometimes, it even crash at the network connection dialog window. Do you think you can release the source code?

[ardatan]

i think this is heap size crashing. yes, i'm going to release the source code. but i have to clean the source code from non-used codes....

@seriosbrad:
are you sure the PSP connected your AP?

[apkungen]

WOrks for slim?

@seriosbrad:

Yup, it connects just fine. It's using WEP is that a problem?

[ardatan]

no! it uses PSP's FW's netdialog...

yes, it works both of them...

[seriosbrad]

Strange, well I will try a newer version of your player when it is released. Thank you for your work on PMP VLC Player.

[pspflashsystem]

It doesn't work: there is only sound (no video!)
Can a person give me a link of a tv streaming which works with PMP VLC Player v1.1?

[ardatan]

you can't see video while VLC is streaming sth. but on PSP it works...

try this address:
http://70.84.33.194:8140/

@seriousbrad, are you sure no firewall works on your PC....

[AdamRav]

So what p2p programs does this work with ????

i can only get tvu player to stream

[salvy]

how can i stream tv, i only able to stream videos i have saved on my pc but not stream tv

[Flamingwolf]

Can anyone that downloaded this upload it somewhere else? OP uploaded it without using a collectors account so only the first 10 people were able to download it. =[

[zomgiwin]

hi there
if i want to just stream a video file i have
what do i do in vlc?
do i just start playing the movie?
and when i go to my psp, i crash when trying to connect to my AP, what's wrong?

[DarkStone]

Good job on this homebrew! It's useful for me since I stream my satellite tv over the net

There is a problem though, the psp player crashes randomly after five minutes. Sometimes the wifi led shuts off or its still on but the program crashes and I'm unable to get any response from the psp. I'm using version 1.1 btw. I hope these issues are fixed because the software looks very promising!

[jcke13]

Is it possible to stream Justin.tv stuff?

[ardatan]

it's flv format. but pmp vlc player supports avc/mp4 format...

[TheKing]

For thost who encounter random crashing problem. You should try the original version by JackyW. It works under 5.00M33-3. I've been using it for hours without a single crash. Here is a direct download from JackyW site.

For release details, you can visit the below URL. This homebrew was released in early 2007.

(by you,etc)some freezes are seen because of ffmpeg codec files in the source code... we have remade the port of ffmpeg... And we'll add WMV support and you can play streams directly on psp without vlc or tv card...

Note: We(P86) and my testers didn't seen any problem...

JockyW's version has some problems with networking... I think you saw a crash (once) in NetDialog... Didn't you?

[jcke13]

Do you think you could add .flv support in the next version?

[ardatan]

ffmpeg converting functions aren't working in 5.XX kernel... We are trying to use ffmpeg codec func. in 5.xx kernel... In next version, TVSP MMS will be released... I think we can add this version ASX support for watching TV streams without VLC...

[PSPFANDAN]

wow, man you rock, keep it up! this will be AWESOME....

[kerm]

I have the same problem as TheKing.

I use PMPVLC009_JockyW with

use_avc_hw = 1;
res_horiz = 480;
res_vert = 272;
vid_bitrate = 800;
vid_fps = 25;

and it run's very stable.
PMPVLC11_M33_P86 stops with this values after 15s.
Maybe PMPVLC11_M33_P86 does not use the hardware decoder?
