![]() ![]() Then different clients could access it - future iPhone Placeshifter, future Android Placeshifter, nielm's and the mobile web interface, etc. What I'd like to see is a Jetty app just for streaming. It doesn't make it impossible, just a little more difficult. Most sites can convert their videos before making them available. One thing that complicates this for SageTV is that the video needs to be transcoded on-the-fly. That's more complex to implement plus could cause firewall issues for some people so I wouldn't do it that way. I tried to watch a video but good old DRM got in my way Does the video ever stop or studder on you? It looks like they're using RTMP, based on the fact it's using port 1935. Even video from ESPN's mobile web site would hang sometimes. Too many problems to try to release it (at least for now). I have an iPhone 3G and it would hang when downloading the video, sometimes tell me the video was in the wrong format, etc. I tried implementing streaming for the mobile web interface in a similar way but I couldn't get it to work reliably. Somebody pointed out the iPhone AirVideo application so I looked into it and found out it was using ffmpeg, which comes with SageTV. When SageTV iphone app is released, I would absolutely buy it but until then, I'm more than happy using OrbLive, which does just about everything other than controlling recordings. EYETV VERIZON FIOS SOFTWAREUnless server software is free, they would be catering to a very small minority SageTV owners with iphones. Very few would be willing to pay for server software plus the cost of iphone app. Then there is the issue with SageTV charging $79.95 for their server software vs. Then again, Orb and Air Video apps were approved with 3g and wifi streaming, so there is a hope there. I just don't see a huge demand for this app without 3g streaming capability. And considering EyeTV and Sling had to cripple their apps to work in wifi only to get their apps approved, it's probably a huge gamble. Although I would be pleasantly surprised if they do.Įven if SageTV plans/is developing an iPhone app, there is still a matter of getting it approved through Apple. I would love to see client/placeshifter apps for iPhone, but I also don't see this happening anytime soon. ![]()
