PiMPStreamer 0.4 (With RSS support)

[DickyDick1969]

PiMPStreamer the PC to PSP streamer comes with a new edition:

-RSS feeds support.
simply drop an link (to a rss/xml file) onto the pimpstreamer feedlist and you can watch RSS feeds comfi with your PSP (1.5 only). Look for special dir:/http:// entries in the listing in PiMPStreamer. One click on your psp will start the download of the feed.

-MP3 support (kinda)

-ini file settings:
extensionlist = comma separated list of extensions pimpstreamer should read.
(it is up the ffmpeg avcodec lib if it is really supported)
port

further additions see update.txt

BTW.. only 1 (!!) donation I received.. :) I don't mind, I have a 1.5 :)

[TheMarioKarters]

Nice work, RSS support is neat.

[NEvolution]

What kind of RSS would be applicable exactly?
I haven't used RSS for video or audio before so I'm not too sure.

Also, link for those who can't get it off geocities.

[NEvolution]

2.60 support?

Um, I don't think so.

[psp726]

Ok. Nice work. Keep it up!

[psp726]

Cuz.. It is rss VIDEO we're talking here. (VODCAST's)
AND... for people who want it all in 1.5 :icon_wink

I don't know what €10.00 EUR buys you but consider it a thank you for what you've done with PiMP. Cheers from Alaska! Paypal to your pocket...

[hàrléyg²]

i cant seem to find the source for it.

[NEvolution]

Sweet, I can finally watch a decently streamed video with this app. (Tested with [DB]Naruto 183, almost no stuttering at all with the default settings.)
Good job on whatever you did to it.

RSS is useful I guess. Still haven't found a place to use it though.

[jogibear9988]

Anyone know where I can get documented examples about how to use the ffmpeg librarys for on the fly transcoding of videos?? Because I want to write a linux Streaming Server for MythTV so That I can use it to watch TV at home...

I have started my app, and browsing my Videos with the pimp psp client works verry well, but know the stranger part is the on the fly transcoding, and i find that ffmpeg is not verry well documented (especially in german)

[theprophe]

hi, great little app, im getting studdering,maybe i'll try a different pc. Anyways what is almost very cool, is can stream tv, kinda. I have a hauppauge pvr150 which saves the tv as a mpeg, and i can stream that to the psp with pimp streamer, but it will stop whn i reachs the end of the file,let me explain.

Since the mpeg is continously growing in size as its being saved by the pvr, once i start pimp streamer, it will think the file is complete at that point, so if its 100meg when i start pimp, it stops at 100meg, even though the file has grown in size to say 150meg, is there anyway to keep it streaming? so for my bad explanations,my first language is english,lol

Yeah, I do this too.. I think the problem is that PiMP calulates the timelimit/mb of the mpeg so it only plays up untill 100MB for example, What needs to be done is getting PiMP to ignore the timelimit/mb or by tricking the timeleft to 999:99 so the Mpeg plays continously.

Any ideas on how/if this would work ****y****?

[schoash]

i just found also a problem when u want to open a file which name is in japanese. in pimp it shows /??? and then u cant open the folder.

But i am amazed this release is really great!! Streaming works almost perfect!

[MintyMonkey]

Man i used this on 1.5 but decided to upgrade so i hope it works on 2.0

[inthemix]

i'm not all that knowledgable in regards to RSS feeds and such, but i was curious... would it all be possible to hook up an in car dvd player to some sort of device (perhaps small laptop) that can stream the video to the psp so i could use it as a dispaly in my car instead of buying a dedicated in-dash display?

[PSP-Paul]

Does this application work on v2.6 at all? I have tried it, and it just turned off, thought i had bricked my PSP at first! But, i obviously haven'! Ha

cheers

hmmm i could put something in the ini:

infiniteFileStream_1=loca tion-of-mpeg1
infiniteFileStream_2=loca tion-of-mpeg2
infiniteFileStream_N=loca tion-of-mpegN

And let pimpstreamer give a very long duration to the psp client.

but you will run out of diskspace after a while..:)

[Dragonuk]

hey, ****y that would be cool, i was thinking of doing this to. Would i be able to just put that in the ini, or will you need to create a new version.?

Also ****y, Is it possible or can you add an option to allow streaming from the psp memory stick. So that if we are on the move, or cant access wifi, we can just drag an avi onto the memstick and then pimpstreamer will convert it to pmp and play. Instead of having to put a pmp on the memstick?
Would that be possible?

Using the PSP to transcode and play the video at the same time?

[Dragonuk]

Yes like what it does with the streaming part but the avi file is on the memorystick so it doesnt need the wifi, but it still goes through the same process

[Madblaster6]

Im so confuse i got it to work on my psp. But it gives me wird files. I can't play them. I can't get the PiMPstreamer to stream either.

Wow! Compatibility is much better it seems. It's playing everything I'm throwing at it! Thanks, ****y****!

Any idea on when you're going to address the aspect ratio?

[logicbomb.de]

Great work ****y****!

although I seem to get error with almost every file I try to stream, I get like a input stream error, could not open stream 1 or something like that.

Although to be fair, I'm pretty sure the majority of the movies I tried had AC3 for the audio track and thats probably not supported ATM.
I was able to gert a few movies working and Im pretty sure that the ones that worked had regular CBR mp3 audio.

I'll give some other files a try when I get home, although the regular PMPmod works just fine for me, playing around with new softs is always fun.


BTW, NEvolution - I love your Renji avatar - I always get a kick out of the Shinigamis wearing human clothes ;D

[birdman]

hmmm i keep trying to play some of my shows (avi and mp4) and on every one i get shuddering issues, (like every couple minites) anything i can do to fix this?

everything else but movies work fine...

That is a common problem. The only way to fix it would be lower the bitrates.
