Hi all,
What is it?
it is possible to watch TV not only via dvb-t/s or c, you can also watch TV via DVB-IP aka IPTV. The TV streams are transmitted on your internet connection. More and more ISPs offer TV on their networks.
DVB-IP in MP
The good thing is that the TV-Server already comes with a software DVB-IP "card". You can enable it in the TV config under "TV Servers" -> <your Servername>.
The bad thing is that MP only supports udp streams. But some ISPs uses rtp or even http to transmit the streams. Dimka and me developed a direct show filter based on mikeykos original version that supports rtp and http. With that filter you are able to play rtp and http streams as well as udp streams. The new filter supports uni- and mulitcast (on udp and rtp). This was done one year ago.
There is an old thread where you can find all the infos on the development.
Over the last few weeks I changed some things on the filter. As the changes are quite big and the old thread was getting more and more confusing, I think its time to start a new one.
New version
When it comes to rtp and udp the filter now works far more stable than ever before. The old filter lost packets when the system was busy. The new filter works very reliable.
Need your help / Report a bug
If you want to help us to improove the filter or if you found a bug, please report it in the development thread for the IPTV filter. All development is done there, now.
Compatibility
New version is compatible and tested with MP 1.1.3 and MP 1.2.0 Beta.
Installation
To use the new version just follow these simple steps:
You need a playlist file for your ISP to do the channelscan. The urls are in the form "rtp://233.1.1.1:1234" or "udp://123.1.2.3:1111" or "http://123.1.2.3:1111".
Download
You can download the latest version in the development thread.
for testing and have fun.
