Requirements:
|
|
|
|
An IPTV patched VDR-1.5.10 (or later) setup and DVB compatible MPEG1/2
|
|
network video 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, 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 supports 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.
|
|
|
|
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-X.Y.Z-pluginparam.patch
|
|
cp sources.conf /path/to/vdrconf/
|
|
make
|
|
make plugins
|
|
./vdr -P iptv
|
|
|
|
Setup menu:
|
|
|
|
- TS buffer size [MB] = 2 Defines ringbuffer size for transport
|
|
stream in MB.
|
|
Valid range: 1...4
|
|
- TS buffer prefill ratio [%] = 0 Defines prefill ratio for transport
|
|
stream ringbuffer before data is
|
|
transferred to VDR.
|
|
The valid range: 0...40
|
|
- Use section filtering = 1 Defines whether section filtering shall
|
|
be used.
|
|
Valid range: 0...1
|
|
- Scan Sid automatically = 1 Defines whether service id shall be
|
|
scanned automatically. Requires section
|
|
filtering.
|
|
Valid range: 0...1
|
|
- Disable filters = 0 Certain section filters might cause some
|
|
unwanted behaviour to VDR such as time
|
|
being falsely synchronized etc. This
|
|
option allows creation of blacklists of
|
|
ill-behaving filters. If this option is
|
|
set to a non-zero value, the menu page
|
|
will contain that many "Disable filter"
|
|
options which allow you to disable the
|
|
individual section filters.
|
|
Valid range: 0...7
|
|
- [Red:Channels] Opens IPTV channel editor.
|
|
- [Blue:Info] Opens IPTV information/statistics menu.
|
|
|
|
Channel editor menu:
|
|
|
|
- Because of the different nature and content the VDR channel editor is not
|
|
best suited for editing of IPTV channels. Therefore an alternative editor
|
|
is provided which allows more IPTV centric editing of channel information.
|
|
An IPTV channel editor is accessible via "Setup -> Plugins -> IPTV" and
|
|
pressing the Red button. The channel editor is functionally similar to
|
|
VDR's built-in channel editor.
|
|
|
|
Information menu:
|
|
|
|
- [Red:General] Opens the general information page.
|
|
- [Green:Pids] Opens the pid statistics page.
|
|
- [Yellow:Filters] Opens the section filter statistics page.
|
|
- [Blue:Bits/bytes] Toggles between bits and bytes mode.

Notes:
|
|
|
|
- Working EIT requires correct Nid/Tid/Sid values as the NIT filter cannot
|
|
determine the type (satellite/cable/terrestrial) of the IPTV transport
|
|
stream.
|
|
|
|
- The following section filters are recommended to be disabled:
|
|
"NIT (0x40)", "SDT (0x42)", "TDT (0x70)"
|
|
|
|
Acknowledgements:

|
|
|
- The IPTV section filtering code is derived from Linux kernel.
