Description:
2007-09-14 23:49:47 +02:00
This plugin integrates multicast IPTV transport streams seamlessly into
VDR. You can use any IPTV channel like any other normal DVB channel for
live viewing, recording, ...
2007-10-07 17:56:52 +02:00
Currently the IPTV plugin supports multicast UDP/RTP and unicast HTTP
streams. Also a file input method is supported, but file delay must be
selected individually to prevent VDR's transfer buffer over/underflow.
Therefore it should be considered as a testing feature only.
