HD Homerun Prime & DVB link IPTV source together?

#1

Post by jachin99 » Mon Jan 08, 2018 2:10 am

If I were to go through the process of attempting to setup an IPTV server using DVB LInk IPTV server software, and possible their WMC client, would there be some way to have all of my channels appear in the TV guide? Is this something that EPG 123 could help with, or is it something I will need the guide editor for, or is this impossible? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here is a little bit of hope, as long as your channels aren't marked copy once, you can add HDHomerun Prime channels to the DVB Link IPTV server I THINK. http://forum.dvblogic.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=28963

Also, the file generated should be a .ts (transport stream) file. Can those be played in WMC? I haven't been able to but then again I haven't done anything special to make it happen either.

I have seen where some have had to include their .ts files in the video library for wmc to play them properly but that's about all I know. It seems wmc is perfectly capable of playing the file type but has to be told it is a video file I guess. It seems like a guide source .ts file would be seen as a video but I can't be sure.

.ts is a container for mpeg2 streams. These play natively in WMC. This doesn't mean wmc will know what to do with it right away but dvb links client software might. I wonder if a dvb link client will work with a media portal server.

Edit. It looks like someone might have done just that. https://www.google.com/amp/s/thedigital ... guide/amp/

As an alternative to the dvblink server, it looks like there might be some compatability between media portal TV server, and some dvb link software but I don't have any experience with either. Here is a link. https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/thre ... 24.101529/
