I recently got IP TV, and that replaces my analogue TV channels with far superior quality.
I wasted a week figuring out how to produce a cable so i could go from the box (Amino) to my tuner card (s-video), and eventually found out i can stream the channels using the mediacenter and then avoid using stbbox and tuner card.
So, at the moment i stream the channels using VLC player on the PC, but i wish for them to run under Media portal as my old analogue channels did. I found the IPTv@UI plugin here, but that just opens VLC from under Mediaportal, and not really fit my needs, as i wish for timeshifting, recording and tv-guide (and a girlfriend friendly interface )
Is there somehow to feed the TV engine a UDP/RTP Multicast stream, instead of having it read from tv card?
Or is it possible to make it something like this:
Having "virtual" channels under setup of television, a bit like under radio setup.
So under channels i create a new, select it as being external stream, and setup IP and port per channel and give the channel a name, that is reference to TV guide.
So basically i wish for a TV channel that works exactly like the "normal" tv channels, "just" reading the stream from a defined iport instead of Tv-card. Would that be possible?
