You can use any IPTV channel like any other normal DVB channel for +live viewing, recording, etc. The plugin also features full section +filtering capabilities which allow for example EIT information to be +extracted from the incoming stream. + +Currently the IPTV plugin has direct support for both multicast UDP/RTP +and unicast HTTP MPEG1/2 transport streams. Also a file input method is +supported, but a file delay must be selected individually to prevent +VDR's transfer buffer over/underflow. Therefore the file input should be +considered as a testing feature only. + +IPTV plugin also features a support for external streaming applications. +With proper helper applications and configuration IPTV plugin is able to +display not only MPEG1/2 transport streams but also other formats like +MP3 radio streams, mms video streams and so on. + +WWW: http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/iptv/ |
