DVB-IP MediaPortal IPTV Source Filter (2 Viewers)

[mm1352000]

So just to be very clear: it is okay to move the unneeded DLLs to another folder - the DVB-IP filter will keep operating?

Yes, needed file is filter itself (AX file) and used protocol implementation.

Is there a way (or does it even make sense) to use DVB link IPTV in Mediaportal as tuners? I have posted about this on the DVBlogic forum weeks ago but nobody has answered yet.

p.s. which are the typical files I could move to improve speed? 350ms is actually quite a chunk (relative to the total)

I'm not sure what are you meaning, can you be more specific?

You can remove all protocol implementations, which are not needed for you. As I can see from logs, you're using UDP protocol, so you can remove MPIPTV_FILE.dll, MPIPTV_HTTP.dll, MPIPTV_RTSP.dll and MPIPTV_RTP.dll.

DVB Link is a virtual tuner that uses GBA so it turns up as a tuner in MediaPortal TV Server. As Windows MediaCenter does not support IPTV natively this is the way you get IPTV in WMC which actually works really well, stable and fast. Somebody has written about using it in MediaPortal please see here but it seems (see first post) that is not actually using the DVBLINK tuners but just re-using the playlists.

I don't know how it really works, but in my testing Win 7 virtual machine it created several DVB-T cards. MediaPortal also sees these DVB-T cards. You can try it, but I really don't see any benefits.

Hello, I can not configure IPTV. IP-TV Player shows fine, VLC does not show. Mediaportal when scanning channels says No signal. Firewall is disabled. OC win7 64

If VLC is not working than MediaPortal will not work. Both have almost same network code. I think that IPTV player is doing something special before stream is send to client.

Hi,

I have been testing IPTV for few days now and need some help...

The playback of http streams in MP is "jumpy"... In almost all cases I get it smooth if I pause it for 10-15 seconds and then press play again... I have tried to emulate this "pause/play" behaviour by increasing buffer size and max buffer parameters but it doesn't make a lot of difference. Same streams play smoothly in the VLC...

Any other parameters that I could play with? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks!
