Hello!
My ISP besides internet and IPphone also provide me IPTV. VDSL modem splits
internet traffic in tcp/ip etc traffic and Multicast UDP. One port is
specialy configured for TV. This port receive multicast UDP mpeg-ts stream
according to my request for specific channel. This stream then go to STB
Amino110 via UTP cable and STB convert this stream into analog signal for TV.
I can allso receive same stream on computer over network interface card
without any need for TV tuner. VideoLanClient is capable to handle multicast
UDP mpeg-ts and show it on monitor. Channel select is done by VLC-s playlist.
Entry's in playlist looks like that:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,1 - RTV SLO 1
udp://[ at ]239.1.1.115:5000
#EXTINF:0,2 - RTV SLO 2
udp://[ at ]239.1.1.116:5000
#EXTINF:0,3 - Kanal A
udp://[ at ]239.1.1.8:5000
#EXTINF:0,4 - POP TV
udp://[ at ]239.1.1.9:5000
....and so on for 150+ channels
I was able to make WMP to play this with some tweaks and extra codecs.
Now I'm assembling HTPC and I would like to use WMC as frontend, but I
can't. WMC is not capable to play this kind of TV.
My question:
1. Is there any piece of software that would convert NIC in fake TV tuner?
Elecard have some, it works with MediaPortal, configuration must be done
according to this post:
http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/community-plugins-294/finally-working-ip-tv-solution-tv-server-44158/
Is there any other, becouse elecard does not work with WMC.
2. Does MS have any plans to integrate this kind of TV into WMC? I mean,
half of Europe have TV based on IP. And it's not too complicated either. If
WMP can do it, so should WMC.
Regards
