Hi,
1. Verify that the link VLC plays.
2. In program activate the section Internet TV.
3. In the list of films on right click "mouse" - Add link, in the Path field to specify a link - OK.
4. Settings - Transcoder - Profiles - "Internet-television" - Edit, find the line 'mpeg1' and replaced by 'ps' - OK - OK - OK.
5. In the list of films on right click "mouse" to implement the transcoding test, make sure that there are no errors. If the setup program's on the page Transcoder specified directory, you can check transcoded file and increase its size.
6. Run the play on TV.

Hi Eugene.
Excuse-me but i can´t understand what you wrote and find the links.
I didn´t find the link VLC and the section Internet TV.
Do you have another way to explain, with screenshot?
Excuse-me again, I am a beginner.
Best regard

To begin with, I think you need to determine what you want.

Since I found it hard also, I will try to explain

"1. Link VLC" means you will have to check if VLC will play the link you want to add to WMS. To do this, you will have to download and install VLC player from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/. After installation, open VLC and go to menu Media -> Open Networkstream. Insert you link at "url" and click Play (since VLC will try to use the same language as your OS, Media/Networkstream/Play etc can be translated in your language). If VLC will play your link/stream, you can add it to WMS.

Start WMS, click Movies in the button bar at the top of the window. In the LEFT part of the window you will find Internet Television. Select Internet Television, then in the RIGHT right click to get the pull down menu, select "Add link". A new window opens, paste your URL in the field "Link/path" Give your link a name/description in the field Title. This is all you need, click OK and your stream will be added.

Good luck.

Thank you very much LuizXIV.

I did what you wrote and this steps:

3. In the list of films on right click "mouse" - Add link, in the Path field to specify a link - OK.
4. Settings - Transcoder - Profiles - "Internet-television" - Edit, find the line 'mpeg1' and replaced by 'ps' - OK - OK - OK.
5. In the list of films on right click "mouse" to implement the transcoding test, make sure that there are no errors. If the setup program's on the page Transcoder specified directory, you can check transcoded file and increase its size.
6. Run the play on TV.

I used the link http://cctv.ws/7/CNNint, and it plays at VLC.
But my TV (LG 42LE5500) didn´t play and show the mensage " Invalid File", at the moment i can watch in my TV the movies storage in my PC.
How can I check if in WMC is OK and the problem is my TV?

I added your link, and it works for me. The only thing is, I did NOT do steps 4 to 6....

I just added the link, dit not change anything in my transcoder profile (step 4) and did not choose any default profile at Settings - Transcoder - Internet Television - Transcoding profile field (I left it blank). When I add your link it plays, but very poorly. Maybe thye quality can be better when choosing a ytranscoding profile, I don't know.... Also it may depend on your device if it is necessary to choose a profile.

I did perform the transcoding test (step 5) and it gave no errors.

Maybe you could try to rollback the change you made at step 4, and just try if it plays?

Hi Eugene,



I also have problems with playing internet TV. I have a Samsung TV, VLC 1.1.2 and WMS 1.0.4.7. I have added the CNN link (http://cctv
.ws/7/CNNint) and when I try the transcoding test (the Internet-television profile) nothing happens, except launching a window containing following:



"C:\Program Files\Wild Media Server\wmsmpeg.exe" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -Idummy --language=en --sout-ff
mpeg-strict-rc --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=12000,fps=24,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:dup
licate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="D:\temp\WmsTemp\WmsTemp\Test_5bc2a625d6d88d64bc5e7d72481ca85a.mpg"}} "http://cctv
.ws/7/CNNint"

Press any key to continue . . .

Hope you can help. I am actually trying to play a Sopcast stream from "http://127.0.0.1:8902/tv.asf" but I get the same behaviour as with the CNN link.

Best Regards,
Adrian.
