Mac Client won't stream JTV recordings from Win server

(1/1)

mstan:
Neither MC20 or MC21 Mac client will stream JTV recordings from MC21 server on WIN7 machine.   TS format recordings work.     Does JTV need to be converted on the client?

hoyt:
I too have noticed this.  Is JTV going to be supported in future versions of MC for Mac?  It's pretty annoying not to be able to playback TV on a Mac instance...  It works on JRemote, but barely.  I get video for about 10 seconds at a time for it to buffer.  If I knock it down to low quality, my wifi can then keep up.  I'm assuming with JRemote it's not sending a pure JTV file from the server and it's doing some form of transcoding on the server?

hoyt:
Any input on this?  Even if MC for Mac doesn't support TV, I'd really like to be able to at least view prior recorded programs cross-platform... Thanks!

JohnT:
On the Mac client, select Tools / Options / Media Network / Client Options / Video Conversion,  and select "MPEG2/DVD NTSC stream".
Now your JTV files on the server should play on the Mac client.
