Installing under Windows

Installing under Windows

This is a quick guide to install under Windows. Installing under Mac and Linux isn't required, just make sure ffmpeg, hdhomerun_config are installed, and run python2 main.py.

1. Download and install python2 from here. It's a simple MSI installer.
2. Download and install SiliconDust's HDHomeRun Windows software from here.
3. Download FFmpeg from here. You're looking for the most recent static build.
4. Download the source archive from here.
5. Unzip the source archive, put it somewhere you like. Open up that folder, and the tcode folder within that.
6. Unzip the FFmpeg build you downloaded. Copy ffmpeg.exe into the tcode folder.
7. Go to C -> Program Files -> SiliconDust -> HDHomeRun. Copy hdhomerun_config.exe into the tcode folder.
8. Double click on run.bat to start the server.
9. Go to http://yourip:7090/chans.html DO NOT go to localhost, this will break chromecasting.

That URL can also be accessed from Android and iOS devices, where you can click Stream to stream any channel of your choosing.
