Complicated. IPTV in general will be looked at (but in what way or form hasn't been decided yet) after the new release.
Maybe we could fix IPTV multi connection problem with some service app or with plug-in. So we know that for live TV, recording and time shift is same time we need 3 connections to IPTV provider. Most IPTV providers are not allowing multi connections. Even if there is no connections restrictions is not very good idea to download few exactly same streams over the internet especially in 1080p.
I do not know how complicated E2 is but some guys told me its very complicated so I have suggestion how we could overcome multi connection problem without change in E2. We know that one stream is needed for live TV and second for recording. We could make some service app which could run internally on port 1234. In IPTV case E2 should connect to that app on port 1234 instead of directly to the IPTV provider. When we press recording E2 will again try to open new stream via that app on port 1234 for recording. App needs to check is that stream is already open if yes new connection will not be made app will simple re-stream first connection. So basically E2 could ask as many streams she needs on same channel app will simple re-stream it.
We could call app or plug-in like this:
#SERVICE xxxx:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:htt p://127.0.0.1:1234//iptv-provider.com:8080/live/username/password/112211.ts
Instead of this:
#SERVICE xxxx:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:htt p://iptv-provider.com:8080/live/username/password/112211.ts
xxxx = 1 or 4097
Solution is very simple and its not depending on E2 at all.
Any Comment?
Something else, I think its a bug in E2. Currently if you start recording with #SERVICE 4097:0:1, live TV will stop we know that. You can go and watch recording with player while box still records with out problems. BUT when you decide to stop watching that recording while box still records box will stop recording also. That must be a bug. If you try to watch something else with player its all ok, no affect.
Any Comment?
