TVU Player and MCE

Author: Ashleigh* Comments(2)

I bumped into TVUPlayer yesterday as I wanted to watch the Le Mans 24 hours and it was not show on the UK FTA channels.

It seems Speed TV was showing it however, and as I mentioned on my post at F1-Blog TVU was able to show it.

After that I have dug around, and there is a little hack to get it working on your Media Center PC.

First Install TVU on a spare PC (or the MCE box).

Launch it and start watching the channel you want.

Now create a text file called TVU.asx and put in it http://IPADDRESS_OF_TVU:8901

Now just pop that text file in an area watched by My Video and click it, job done streaming to the MCE.

    Thanks for the hack, But how do I get the ip address of TVU PLayer ? Does the ip address returned by ping tvuplayer.com work ?

    The TVU Player IP is the local machine IP address of the TVU Client :)
