vomp-server only on MVP ?

[wolfgang6444]

Sorry for this rather stupid question, but I am missing the fundamentals in the WIKI and howtos:

For several years I run vdr on a conventional desktop-PC under linux with two DVB-S Budget cards and one DVB-S-full-featured card - all connected via. PCI.
I am using the RGB-ouput of the full-featured card to send video to an old CRT-TV-set. Everything o.k.

Now I want to send the MPEG2-Stream (live-video or recordings) to another room via wlan and use a raspberry-pi as vdr-client.

Form what I understand vomp-server and -client should be the right choice.
But I am confused: does the vomp-server plugin only run on the specific MVP-hardware or can I also install it in my PC-based vdr like any other plugin?

Thanks

Wolfgang

The vomp-server plugin is installed on the vdr server as any other plugin.
In your case that would be on your existing desktop pc running vdr. It works marvellous well. Have used it for more than a decade streaming to hauppauge media-mvp hardware running a vomp client. Since a year I have turned to HD and is using raspberry pi's as clients running vomp. Its running rock solid since a half year back.

Good news!

Do you have any hint as to which version of vdr I should use? So far I am using some 1.6.x.
I want to use (among others) epgsearch, streamdev-server and vomp-server.
It is apparently not quite obvious, which version compiles with all of them.

Thanks

My server is a gentoo box running vdr 2.0.4,vompserver 0.4.0, epgsearch 1.0.0, streamdev 0.6.1 and some others.

My vompclient is basically built based of the current trunk of the vompclient.git repository with a change of the protocol version in vdr.cc to have the define VOMP_PROTOCOLL_VERSION set to 0x00000200 instead of 0x00000300

With this minor change its possible to use the latest vompclient against a vompserver with version 0.4.0. The reason I have patched the client like this is that there is yet no stable vompserver of version 0.4.1 and I'm to lazy to bother to unmask 0.4.1 from the gentoo repositories.

Hmm,

I just tried:
vdr-2.04
streamdev-0.6.0
vdr-epgsearch-1.0.0
markad-0.1.4
remote-0.5.0
vompserver-0.4.1

Upon compilation I get the following errors:

My system in an opensuse 11.4.

I know that this is not really raspberry related, but I want to avoid cross-posting.
Maybe somebody has an idea?

Thanks

@sirwio
I would not change the version number only.
We only change the version number, if the protocoll was changed, so you should really update your server to the git.
Otherwise malfunction and possible loss of data is possible.

O.k.,

so far everything is ootb- nothing patched nor edited - but it doesn't compile.

I will try the git tonight.
