IPTV not working (2 Viewers)

Re: AW: Re: AW: Re: IPTV not working

... perhaps your provider uses some very unusual header extension...

this is a usual in my provider

... Please do the following:

I am at your command

• Stop your TV server, replace your MPIPTVSource.ax with the one attached and start your tv server again. Record 3-5 seconds within the tv server configuration (like you did before) and post the log file (not the video file).
• Change the address of the channel from rtp://@239.x.x.x to udp://@239.x.x.x, record 3-5 seconds and post the video file

P.S.: I forgot to mention that I didn't test the filter attached. Hope it works

well ...

... seems to work

here are the file

Hi Manuelito,

something went wrong with the video file. The logs you posted state that the stream is a rtp stream, there is no doubt about that. But the video file doesn't contain the rtp header. And to find the solution I need to have a look at the rtp headers. That means the video must have been processed in some way (by the filter or by the tv server). The infos I need are not in that file, sorry.

Do you have any programm to save the video exactly like it is sent? I don't know if vlc does that, when you enable the "Raw Input" option when you start "Convert/Save".
Another way would be to use the filter I attached to this post and use GraphStudio. I disabled the rtp and http part in the version attached. If you use monograms GraphStudio you can right click on the out pin of the iptv filter and attach a file dump. That would create the file will all infos.

Sorry, that I still don't know what is going on here....

Hi and thanks again for your time.

I recorded two files, one using Graphstudio and your filter and the other with the debug-option of TvServer of creating raw file (not exactly what it does). The two tuning the channel as udp: / / @ 239 ...

With VLC currently can not.

Let's see if we are lucky.

Yes and no. Good news is that your file (pruebaUDP.ts) contains the raw stream. And the other good news is that I had a quick look at it and found the reason why it doesn't work. The bad news (for me) is, that I have to work on the filter again.

The technical explanation: Your provider uses a header extension. When you search for it on the net you find things like
"Note that this header extension is intended only for limited use. Most potential uses of this mechanism would be better done another way" or "Header extension should only be used for experimental purposes". Well, your provider uses excactly that kind of extension and the MP IPTV filter cannot handle it.

Does anybody know if I can stream a file across a network in a loop with vlc? I need to stream Manuelitos file in a loop to test the filter.
@Manuelito: Or can you provide a longer video, lets say ~1 minute?

Hi Stepko.
I am sorry to give you more work (I hope my fault no longer a hobby).:sorry:
I was sure that if my tv provider could experiment with something, he would.
Here's the video (1min. 10sec, more or less so I can upload the forum for a file .rar).

Hi Manuelito,

thanks alot for the video. But I couldn't really use it because your provider uses the header extensions and different packet sizes. None of the applications I tested was able to stream that file. Luckily I found a way to stream the first 5 packages to the filter.

I added support for header extensions to the filter. You find that version attached. I hope it works for you. Please test it, if it dosen't work, you can use the debug version. Debug and release are the same except for the log file, that is created by the debug version. As already said I have no video to test if the packages are correctly parsed now, please let me know if it works. thx.

Yyyyyeeeeeesssssss sir. You did it. YYEEESSS. It works, works and works.
Honestly, I could not do much testing, a couple of channels and a couple of changes (I have not been allowed more time for these hours), but the video is there, video and audio.
Thank you so much for taking your time to solve the problems of others and for your patience.
.

And of course, tomorrow I will try to prove over time, and of course come back to bother you with my complaints.

Hi Stepko.

For the truth is I have not found any bug, or side effect, or desync, etc ... and have been hours of TV and some other recording but in the end that the filter is running smoothly.

Do not know if anybody around here has also tested the filter on the Imagenio (IPTV in Spain) and if anyone can say something more but for my part you've solved the problem.

Again, many, many thanks.

Sorry to ask, as I couldn't find an answer in the forum:

Using iptv from t-home (Germany) I can't find the HDTV channels: only the SD channels.
Neither with the original nor with the provided filter in this thread.

Did I miss here something?


Thanks in advance,

Using iptv from t-home (Germany) I can't find the HDTV channels: only the SD channels.

What do you mean by "can't find"? Does the TV server search for I but fails? Are the channels missing in the channel list?
I think you should check if the channels are in the channel list file and if the IPs are correct. Search for the m3u file on C:\ and open it with a text editor. You can find the IPs here. I think t-home uses rtp (not 100% sure). So you should check if the urls start with rtp://. To receive rtp streams you need to use my modified filter. When I remenber correctly there are some people around here who managed to get the hd channels from t-home entertain to work.
