I'm trying to set up TV Servier with a number of IPTV channels and I'm getting almost nowhere. I've scoured the net for mms, udp and rtmp addresses, but the only one that works is:

#EXTINF:1,UK - Sky News Headlines

mms://live1.wm.skynews.servecast.net/skynews_wmlz_live300k :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,fps=25,vb=5000,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2,samplerate=44100}

This works with a modified 1.2.1 revision of the DVB-IP IPTV Source Filter that was graciously provided by a developer. Unfortunately that developer doesn't appear to be monitoring his thread anymore to help me with this.

Though I can find a bunch of mms protocol sites, I haven't had any luck getting them to work other than the one site above. I can't get ANY udp sites to work, even if I bypass my router. My ISP claims they are not blocking anything.

Does anyone have a list of working English-speaking DVB-IP addresses that they could share with me?
Any tips for what I may be doing wrong?

    MMS streams are not supported by IPTV in TV Server for simple reason - each stream in TV Server must be DVB compliant. So you have to use real time transcoding to DVB specifiaction. It's bad if developer is not supporting his filter, but nobody except him can help you in that case. You can't get any of UDP sites to work because they probably use multicast IP addresses (addresses from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) and these multicast UDP packets are transmitted only in network where is source of signal.

    Thanks Georgius, I really appreciate your feedback. I was hoping to have support for rtmp addresses as a lot of streaming sites use them. The developer's filter is supposed to support them, so hopefully he'll come back to his thread soon. I really want to have all my IPTV under TV Server so that I can use PVR functionality on them.
