About a year ago my HD Homerun Plus to transcode and play over the Internet<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.apolonio.com\/node\/54<\/p>\n

Unfortunately it was prone to overheating, and it finally died. \u00a0I was debating how I could replace it, then I came across the idea of transcoding using a PC and Linux and the non PLUS version of the HD Homerun which is easy to find.<\/p>\n

I finally was able to do it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I first built a 2 core CentOS Linux VM<\/li>\n
  2. Then I installed VLC on it<\/li>\n
  3. Then I installed the Silicon Dust HD Homerun package on it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I then set it to listen for an incoming stream on UDP port 5000 and anyone connecting to TCP port 9000 can watch the stream<\/p>\n

    cvlc udp:\/\/@:5000 :sout=\"#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=600,scale=0.5,deinterlace,fps=20,acodec=mp2a,ab=192,channels=2,venc=x264{keyint=20,bframes=0}}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.11:9000}\" -v<\/pre>\n
    Then I set it my HD home runs channel using the\u00a0hdhomerun_config program and set the HD Homerun to send its feed to a particular IP.<\/p>\n
    # Set HD Home run to KIRO 7.1\r\n\/usr\/local\/bin\/hdhomerun_config 10AAAAAA set \/tuner1\/channel auto:623000000\r\n\/usr\/local\/bin\/hdhomerun_config 10AAAAAA set \/tuner1\/program 1\r\n\/usr\/local\/bin\/hdhomerun_config 10AAAAAA set \/tuner1\/target 192.168.1.11:5000\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Then I am able to view the feed by opening a network stream using VLC to http:\/\/192.168.1.11:9000<\/p>\n
    Still need to find a way to secure it though.<\/p>\n
    At least I can get the stream running.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
