Requirements: IPTV patched VDR-1.5.9+ and multicast/unicast transport streams Description: 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, ... 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. Installation: cd /put/your/path/here/VDR/PLUGINS/src tar -xzf /put/your/path/here/vdr-iptv-X.Y.Z.tgz ln -s iptv-X.Y.Z iptv cd /put/your/path/here/VDR patch -p1 < PLUGINS/src/iptv/patches/vdr-1.5.x-closefilter.patch patch -p1 < PLUGINS/src/iptv/patches/vdr-1.5.x-pluginparam.patch cp sources.conf /path/to/vdrconf/ make make plugins ./vdr -P iptv Setup parameters: - TS buffer size [MB] = 2 Defines ringbuffer size for transport stream in MB. The valid range: 1...16 - TS buffer prefill ratio [%] = 0 Defines prefill ratio for transport stream ringbuffer before data is transferred to VDR. The valid range: 0...40 - Show statistics in = 0 Defines unit (bytes, kbytes, bits, kbits) used in statistics menu.
