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.

tar -xzf /put/your/path/here/vdr-iptv-X.Y.Z.tgz
