Hello toplad

If it is an RTSP feed you can use the virtual DVB-IP/IPTV tuner.
Open TV Server configuration.
Click "open log directory" in the top left corner.
Go up one level, then down into TuningParameters/dvbip.
Copy any one of the files and rename as Home.CCTV.m3u (or similar).
Edit the file in any text editor. Contents should look like:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,<name of channel>
<URL of channel, ie. rtsp://...>

Save and close.
Back to TV Server configuration: go to the scan section for the DVB-IP tuner.
Scan the "Home.CCTV" service. Hopefully it will pick up your channel.
Now you can treat the channel like any other channel. Group it, rename it etc. etc. etc.
If you get stuck please don't hesitate to ask... but make sure you post log files.

If your ipcam/cctv don't use TS container in rtsp stream you should restream with vlc.

The IPTV filter is crashing. Looks like the feed is not supported:

26-11-2013 16:40:48.322 [ c78] [{3F706A4B-5F9F-4FBE-A2D6-86B3D5B521BD}] [Error] CMPIPTV_RTSP: OpenConnection(): H264 not supported

H264 is not an MPEG 2 TS stream. As regeszter said, you'll need to re-stream with VLC.

Could you point me in the right direction of how id do that?

1. Start vlc
2. go to media -> stream...
3. select network tab
4. enter the cctv url
5. press stream button
6. next
7. new destination: rtsp
8. add
9. change the port number if you want
10. next
11. select activate transcoding
12. create a new profile
13. encapsulation tab: MPEG-TS
14. video codec tab: video, keep original...
15. audio codec tab: audio, keep original...
16. press create button
17. next
18. stream

Change the m3u file:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0, CCTV - Front
rtsp://192.168.1.150:port/
