I'm trying to play a HDHomeRun Connect Video source from a url in the following format: http://x.x.x.x:xxxx/auto/v4.1. This video source is an MPEG2 video encoding and AC3 audio encoding.
I've tried using the Samsung Tizen.TV .NET sample with the following source but the video never plays.
_player = new Tizen.Multimedia.Player();
var mediaSource = new Multimedia.MediaUriSource(uri);
_player.SetSource(mediaSource);
var display = new Multimedia.Display(Window.Instance);
_player.Display = display;
await _player.PrepareAsync();
The player state gets stuck in preparing, and the await _player.PrepareAsync()
call never finishes. It is worth noting that I'm using the Tizen Samsung TV Emulator. Do I need to transcode the stream from the HDHomeRun to be playable? Are there any other measures I might be missing for the Video to play?
Ultimately, the Display property of the player wasn't being set correctly. The property that worked for me (found from investigating the JuvoPlayer code was this:
var display = new Multimedia.Display(((FormsApplication)Forms.Context).MainWindow);
_player.Display = display;
