Stream BI to Sat Receiver

[Cybirian]

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone has figured out a way to view the stream from Blie Iris on TV using a Sat Receiver.
The reason, making it easy just to switch channels to have a live view or at the best see recordings!

Here is my setup:

Several Open Source Sat Receivers with Open Pli Enigma 1 and 2 (hardware: Vu Solo +, Dreambox DM800, DM600, DM500)
Blue Iris version 4 running on a Windows Server 2008 R2

When using Dreamedit to edit the channel list I see some options here to put in a cam but had no success adding my 4 Sinocams.

Also in the Sat forums they where talking about camoFX but that does not work for me.

Here an example of a webcam already in the channel list, pre installed:

Thanks,
Cyb

Hi.

In the Blue Iris help file, go to the bottom of the web server chapter to see a list of paths you can use to access video streams or individual jpeg frames.

Spoiler

Direct image, video
and command requests
In addition to serving HTML pages, Blue Iris
can also act as a "video server." There are a number of methods for
retrieving images and video from the Blue Iris web server for use on mobile
devices, converting a USB camera into a web camera, or for any other purpose.
Here are the paths to these methods:

/image/{cam-short-name}?q=50&s=80	A single JPEG image from a specific camera or group, with optional quality (q) and scale (s) parameters. Quality is a percentage from 1-100, and scale may be any number >0.
/image/{cam-short-name}?h=100	You may also specify a specific height (h) or width (w) instead of scale.
/mjpg/{cam-short-name}/video.mjpg	An M-JPEG stream. This stream is compatible with Blue Iris's "MJPEG stream request."
/file/clips/{filename}&mode=jpeg&speed=100	An M-JPEG stream of a clip from your New clips folder. You may include additional subdirectory names in the filename. The speed parameter is optional, a percentage of normal playback speed.
/thumbs/{filename}	A thumbnail image from a specific file in the New clips folder.
/alerts/{filename}	A JPEG image from the Alerts folder.
/admin?profile=x	Temporarily change the active profile to x. Use x=-1 to toggle the lock status.
/admin?camera=x&trigger	Trigger camera x (short name)
/admin?signal=x	Changes the traffic signal state and returns the current state. x=0 for red, x=1 for green, x=2 for yellow. This requires admin authentication.
/audio/{cam-short-name}/temp.wav	Pull a raw audio stream (MIME type audio/x-wav).
/cam/{cam-short-name}?pos=x	Performs a PTZ command on the specified camera, where x= 0=left, 1=right, 2=up, 3=down, 4=home, 5=zoom in, 6=zoom out
/cam/{cam-short-name}?pos=100	Causes a snapshot image to be captured from the specified camera.
/h264/{cam-short-name}/temp.h264	Pull a raw H.264 stream (MIME type video/H264). This stream will play in a tool like VLC, and may be used in future versions of the ActiveX control.
/h264/{cam-short-name}/temp.ts	Pull an MPEG-2 transport stream (MIME type video/MP2T).
/h264/{cam-short-name}/temp.m or .m3u8	Pull a virtual M3U8 file (MIME type application/vnd.apple.mpegurl). This will play in QuickTime, iPad and the iPhone using the iPhone Live Streaming format.

I don't know what formats your receivers are capable of, since here in the USA you can't use 3rd party satellite receivers like that. But chances are at least one of these will work.

Something to check is that LAN connections to Blue Iris do not require authentication. Also I would recommend you try loading jpeg frames directly in a browser first so you know you have the URL right. You can also load the MPEG-2 transport stream format in VLC media player. That might load on your satellite receiver if you are lucky.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah we have a bit more freedom with receivers. I will give it a try.
