I just tested the Webserver TV function with the latest 1.2.60 version of Spark on the Triplex and it works. I was able to stream a few lower resolution channels to my PC using VLC player. I tried the 4:2:2 channels on 97w and was unable to stream due to bandwidth limitations. It should work for folks with good internet speed. I am only able to Stream low res channels. Maybe I will leave my receiver on tomorrow and attempt to stream from work. It is pretty easy to setup.
1. Make sure you have VLC loaded on your computer.
2. go to settings in the receiver and find the IP address.
3. Go to System and toggle Web Server option to on (the username and password are listed in Web server section)
4. Tune your Triplex or other Spark receiver to whatever channel you would like to stream.
5. enter IP address into your address bar on your PC.
6. Spark Webserver screen will show up where you enter the username and password (usually root, root)
7. Click on Webserver TV option.
Bam! channel should start streaming where it also gives you current channel information. There may be ways to remotely change channel but I haven't gotten that far yet. Also looking for a way to view VLC player in full screen so I can then use HDMI port on my laptop to make it full screen on TV.
