IP-TV support ? (1 Viewer)

[lsandini]

Hello,

I am watching the optical fibre network spreading near my place, and those who are getting it won't get the copper cable network anymore. I am happy with DVB-C, but my neighbours are bound to watch IP-TV from their provider, and there is no good STB for that. Of course they could have DVB-T or -S, but what's the point of the optical fibre network then ? It should distribute loads of HD channels in the future, on a 100 Mbps internet connection...

2 STB's are available, with SCART-out only (no HDMI), and no recording functions. I have stumbled upon Microsoft Mediaroom, that apparently supports IP-TV, and since there seems to be even a demo version, maybe I'll point them in that direction.

What about IP-TV in Mediaportal ?

Not "officially" supported, and probably never will be in MP1.
There is a plugin for it made by RUS24. I'll dig the thread up for you later if you don't find it. (No time now).

PS: I have IPTV via optical fiber myself. Using a Motorola VIP-1960 (I think), which have PVR and HDMI. But it sucks, so I'm gonna return it.

Look at this (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mytv-engine-0-2-95/iptv-patch-mediaportal-0-2-3-0-a-32330/) thread. BTW the username was 24RUS. Looks like he was last on the forum last week.

Look at this: RelictEPG & RelictInternetTV Home Site - RelictInternetTV

This plugin has two parts - Live TV (both payTV from BestRussianTV.com and any free web-stream you want) and Online Video (movies from BestRussianTV.com and TV archives).
The plugin can be easily configured by a user.

I can help with IPTV support

Hi all,

I am experienced programmer and have IPTV service at home accessible from PC. I can and want help with developing true IPTV support to TVServer. Is there some good documentation to follow? I will start to study the code this weekend, I am interested especially in the way DVB hardware is handled and supported.

Is there some tv server developer that is able to answer my possible questions?

Thank's

Michal

Sound great! You might find the wiki useful TV-Server_Development - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation
Other ways to get answers or help is via forum and/or IRC

... or a plugin? (/addon/extension/)

 

[mikeyko]

yes, it would be better to make plugin, but I am not sure it is possible. We will see...

OK, so I finally have something working...
