Installed the tool and config last night. I have attached a screen of the result. The tool sees the feeds from the v8uhd and when I click on one of them, the rev rate and send rate start ok then go to zero. Clicking the "play" button results in the button turning white. I've tried both mpc and vlc but they don't come up. Looks like the pc loses it's connection to the receiver. Looking for a fix. Thanks.

Hi seefoo,

Maybe the external player is missing.
Did you dowload and extract the content of external player to inc folder?

NOTE: The external player is not included in "inc" directory. You should download it from here:

Code: Select all

Very good!

How to insert URL or port to connect?

Ex:

205.108.99.3:8001

tvo.sytes.net:8085

Oi frankviana !
Next version will support the port configuration (in config file), as well the URL or IP.

Hi,
Can someone tell me if V8 UHD support streaming DVB-C channels?
If so, can you send a printscreen of this tool playing a DVB-C channel? Are this channels listed together with DVB-S?
Thank you!

HD.. I didn't download any players.. I alread have both vlc and mpc-hd on my pc. I noted that the config file had mpc established. I modifed it after my rates went to zero and inserted vlc. Same problem. My version of mpc has options set a certain way to work with reclock. So, I'd prefer to use vlc. I seems it never tries to get to a player. I don't understand why is sees the feeds, lists them but all rates go fo zero. I checked the v8uhd and it's still playing the selected feed. Its a wierd one.

seefoo,
can you post here your config file content?
to use installed VLC you should edit your config file like this:

Code: Select all

...
<add key="external_player" value="C:\\PROGRA~2\\VIDEOLAN\\VLC\\VLC.EXE --fullscreen" />
...

NOTE: path must be in short notation. it cannot have spaces.

<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2" />

<appSettings>
<add key="default_ip" value="192.168.0.42" />
<add key="external_player" value="c:\\program files (x86)\\mpc-hc\\mpc-hc.exe /fullscreen" />
</appSettings>

Then changed to:

Hallo seefoo

It works perfectly with these settings (screenshot 1)
but for that you have to do as hugoduro indicates
put in the inc folder the other MPC-HC folder. (screenshot 2)
Even if you already have MPC-HC in your PC this does not bother at all.
good luck

Hugoduro, WinGTShare works only on satellite channels for me. Is it supposed to also work with iptv channels? If so how do I configure it and include procedure to receive iptv such as m3u files and playlists?. I am using a V8UHD receiver.

Hi rutan,
WinGTShare only works with receiver SAT>IP channels, not iptv.
My question is if cable channels (dvb-c) appears also in WinGTShare channel list, because i only have V8X (SAT).

Hugoduro.... Thanks for the help in getting me running. I have the config file setup to run either of three players. It works great with VLC, my version of MPC-hc (32bit version found in my program files). I can get it to open DVBViewer but haven't figured out how to get viewer to play it. Maybe in a future version. I know better than to ask for the code, but can you tell me which language you are using? I am so thankful for your efforts to get a 4:2:2 feed to be seen.

I think it is better to use vlc than media player.
Why didn't Gtmedia plan to take advantage of VLC's Sat-ip function?

Hi avalanche,

if you prefer VLC player you can try edit WinGTShareTool.exe.config file like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
	<appSettings>
        <add key="default_ip" value="192.168.0.17" />
	<add key="external_player" value="C:\\PROGRA~2\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe --fullscreen" />
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

I really prefer Media Player Classic because in my case VLC doesn't open most of Hispasat (30W) channels.

Hi seefoo,
DVBViewer can play V8 series channels with iptv configuration, but not from WinGTShare tool.
You can only use external players with WinGTShare tool wich can be launched from command line with an the ts url as a command parameter.
I prefer MPC-HC because it plays every channels, including 4:2:2 feed, but it can be used VLC, FFPLAY, and others.

Related to the app programming language, i'm using C# (.NET framework 4.0). My IDE it's a simple SharpDevelop. Code was made with a few care or rigor, since it was made only as a hobby.

Hugoduro will WinGTShare ever have IPTV playing? If not I cant see any advantage over just playing the satellite channels with the receiver. Can you tell me advantages? thanks.

[seefoo]

Hugoduro... The new program plays just fine. I have some artifacts with mpc (probably my settings) and vlc plays just fine. One question: when I connect, the left side shows all the feeds I have scanned, not just the ones from the sat I'm looking at. Over time, that will be a ton of feeds - some with the same name. Any fix to just see the feed list for a given sat? And, super programing on the GT share. Love it!

@rutan, the purpose of this tool is not to become a common iptv player. For that there are many other solutions better than this one.
The goal is to provide a tool similar to GTShare for windows, capable of remotely playing SAT>IP channels of V8 series receivers on a Windows PC.
For example, one of the advantages is the possibility to play 4:2:2 feeds and, for that those who have a non-UHD V8 box, to view 4K channels on PC.
