TVSP


Well, the good news just keep on flowing in. After the first playable N64 Emulator, we now have our very own homebrew Location Free Player! Yes, you don't have to buy an expensive $350 Location Free Base Player to watch TV on your PSP. This homebrew program does it for free!

Written by Lok Tai Fung, this program can receive wi-fi signals from DScaler, using a TV Capture/Tuner on your PC. Yep, all of it is free, apart from the TV Capture card of-course! Here's an excerpt from the readme:

    "How did I come up with TVSP? Hmmm, it was one day in my bathroom to take a load off :-) When all of a sudden, omg, I have forgotten to bring anything in to entertain myself. Not a Maxim magazine in sight. Delerium sets in. What have I done??? While being quite bored, I had an epiphany. Hey, wouldn't it be cool if I can watch TV in the can. The rest is history."


TVSPTVSP


Features:
  • Watch TV anywhere with a wifi connection.
  • Allows channel changes.
  • No sound yet. It'll be added in the next version
Please check the readme for operating instructions. The server's port is 8888 if anyone needs to configure their routers for serving TV over the internet.

Update: The .ini file wasn't uploaded in the previous download. Re-download it if you can't figure out how to input your IP address.

You have to buy a TV Tuner/Capture card seperately. Still, it's only about $50. Lot more cheaper than a $350 Base Station.

Hopefully there's support for these cards in the future as I have 2 All-in-Wonder cards and would love to watch TV on PSP.

Should I be using my public IP:

77.117.ETC.ETC

Or my private IP:

192.168.0.ETC

And in the ini shouldl I put myip:8888 ?

I would love if a newer release would use VLC in stead of Dscaler. That way you could stream from a linux box and/or htpc.

 » not through internet?

a question for all the tech-ie people out there...

...is it possible to stream the data from the PC to the PSP using the home network rather than through the internet??

I have download/upload restrictions from my ISP and and I can't waste too much data :(

   by Dionysus (Unregistered) - 2006-05-02

Yes, just use your Local Network IP
ex: 192.168.1.1
