phanto.pkg report

Hi, Phantoman and Cheuk5 thank you for your responses.
I managed to put it together.
As an instruction: made phanto folder in microSD card, put channels.txt and two jpg files in to phanto folder.
phanto.cfg: edit with text editor
chlistname = chnnels.txt
empysd = false
That is all I wrote it because I don’t need a network, cloud etc., info’s and file name back to .cfg, leaved in a phanto directory.
I got my pictures and channel list are back. However I cannot get on the stream, may be stream URLs were changed, I tried Niji and Chinese TV channel list where I found from web.
Is anybody can share live stream TV URLs?

    Here is my contribution to channels.txt for the Phanto app.

    These links can also be used by the TMP app too.
    For each link create a .strm file containing a single line (rtmp: .....), save it to SD or USB, then it can be read by TMP.

    Enjoy.

    I installed the Phanto app on to my TVPad 2. But every time I open the app it said "no phanto.cfg found!" The USB is plugged into the TVPad, there is a folder call "Phanto" in the USB, and there are "HK radio channels.txt" and "phanto.cfg" files inside the "Phanto" folder. What am I missing?

    TVPad2, firm: 3.94.

    Please help. Thank you.
  • I see there's one thing I don't understand though is the phanto.cfg points to the cloud for channel list, and the phanto folder actually gets copied to SDCard. So then after install, how do you actually modify the channels.txt within the phanto folder? Can you modify the channels.txt on USB tick and you have to edit on the SDCard. I'm confused

    I'm referring to this video here.

    Please read all here
    Basic installation steps for version 2.0:
    1. Unzip the phanto-f*.zip file and install the app (see viewforum.php?f=13 for instructions on how to install an app on your TVPad model).
    2. Create a directory called "phanto" (all lower case) on either your USB flash drive or microSD card.
    3. Create a channels.txt (all lower case) to the "phanto" directory (sample channels.txt can be found here: viewtopic.php?p=19242#p19242).
    4. Create a phanto.cfg (all lower case) configuration file and specify the settings you want (see phanto.zip for an example).
    5. (OPTIONAL) If you want to specify your own background pictures when the channel is loading, then copy EXACTLY 2 *.jpg files to the "phanto" directory. JPG files with a max resolution of 1280x720 (720p) is adviced. Higher resolutions may hang your TVPad.
    6. Run the Phanto app.


    Instructions for configuring the phanto.cfg configuration file:
    chlistname = channels.txt (allows you to change the default file name of the channel list located on the on the USB drive, microSD card and/or network)
    network = MySeries,192.168.1.100,Series,user1,mypass,domain1 (location of channel list on the network)
    cloud = http://www.test.com/channels.txt (location of channel list in the cloud)
    copy2sd = true (cache all files located in the "phanto" folder on the USB drive to the microSD card)
    emptysd = false (empty the "phanto" folder on the microSD card)


    The network parameter allows you to retrieve the channels.txt from a network share (Windows machine, NAS, etc).

    If your network share does not require authentication, then this parameter should contain the following content:
    ,,,guest

    For example:
    MySeries,192.168.1.100,Series,guest

    If your network share requires authentication, then this parameter should contain the following content:
    ,,,,,

    For example:
    MySeries,192.168.1.100,Series,user1,mypass,domain1



    The cloud parameter should contain the URL where your channel list resides on the Internet, for example: http://blah.blah.com/thisismycloudchannellist.txt . In this example "thisismycloudchannellist.txt" will be downloaded to your TVPad unit and parsed similar to the local "channels.txt". So make sure that your channel list in the cloud has the same format as the "channels.txt" file. You can add additional parameters before the URL (see http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html) if you require authentication etc., for example to connect to an HTTPS URL which does not use a known CA certificate: cloud = -k https://blah.blah.com/thisismycloudchannellist.txt


    Required file encoding (thanks to goodan):
    channels.txt - UTF-8
    phanto.cfg - ANSI


    Note:

    All parameters are optional and can be added in any particular order. The chlistname parameter will default to "channels.txt" if empty or missing. If the copy2sd parameter is missing, then it's equal to being "false".
    The app splits the parameters based on " = ", so in all cases make sure you have between the parameter and the value, otherwise the value will be ignored.
    If no channels.txt files were available from any of the sources (USB, microSD, cloud or network), then it will open a file explorer where you can select your own channel list file. Only *.txt files are recognized. This will also allow you to browse the mounted network share if you specified a value for the network parameter. You can find the mounted network share by clicking on the USB button in the file explorer.
    If a channel list is found from different sources, then one big channel list will be created from all these sources in the following order: cloud, network, USB/microSD
  • hello,

    i was trying to create my own channel list but it didnt work. maybe someone can help me what i did wrong?

    1. i create channels.txt and but in my stream links for example:
    - cmovie,ps,http://ktv044.cdnak.ds.kylintv.net/nlds/kylin/chinamovie/as/live/chinamovie_4.m3u8
    (maybe the stream-type is wrong?)
    2. i create phanto.cfg and but in the line "chlistname = channels.txt", so it can be found by the app on tvpad
    3. i start tvpad3 and start the app and allready when its finish loading i get a error.

    Oh Tvpad is not support m3u8 format. :3
  • thx for help!

    well, iam not sure but can vlc-player used by tvpad?

    if yes then maybe it could work with vlc because on my computer all m3u8 links work with vlc...

    thats just a idea but not sure it can work with vlc-player
  • padmanpadman Moderator
    open the m3u8 file in notepad

    see what the content is
  • if we can somehow open the m3u8 files, then we can get many working streams with good quality.

    i will try it later in notepad, atm my mother is watchin abit on tvpad, so i can enjoy a break

    HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!
