Hi all ! A new version of iProTv app (iPhone, iPad and Apple tv) is available. In this version you have the ability to open any media in VLC application and from there you can cast it to your TV 📺.
Here’s a demo : https://streamable.com/75d9bf
Why i didn’t integrate chromecast directly into the app?
I do and it was almost done, but by default, the native chromecast player in tv (or any compatible device) cannot read all video format so after tests, 80% of videos are not playable. But VLC team have created a custom player that can play almost all kinds of videos !
Obviously, this feature is only for iphone and iPad :)
Hope you enjoy using it :)
The new MAG set-top box support enablement patch for Stalker Middleware 4.9.30-35 and Ministra TV Platform 5.3, 5.4, 5.4.1, 5.5
Some video services still run on older versions of Ministra. However, recent models of Infomir’s set-top boxes (e.g., MAG420, MAG424) may not work with outdated versions of Ministra. When attempting to authenticate on the portal, they show an error: ‘The Firmware of your STB is outdated. Please update it.’
This message can be misleading for IPTV/OTT operators and users alike. It’s not the set-top box that causes this problem, but the operator’s outdated middleware. Operators can fix this problem with a patch that is available on the official Infomir Documentation page (wiki.Infomir.eu)
The Stalker Middleware 4.9 patch enables support for the MAG420, MAG322, and MAG324 set-top-boxes. To update the middleware, you need to download the patch from the wiki.infomir.eu website, then put it into the /var/www/stalker_portal/ directory, and run the following command in the terminal:
sudo patch -p1 < support.patch
This patch is only compatible with Stalker Middleware 4.9.30-4.9.35 and will not work with earlier versions.
Infomir has also developed a patch to enable compatibility between the MAG420, MAG422, and MAG424 set-top boxes and Ministra TV Platform 5.3, 5.4, 5.4.1, 5.5. The devices mentioned above support Ministra 5.6 out of the box. To patch the middleware, you need to download the package that corresponds to your Ministra version from the wiki.Infomir.eu website and follow the installation instructions.
