Functionality to keep alive IPTV HTTP.ts streams.
IPTV streams are very often not very useful to use, because the HTTP connections often interrupts or times outs.
The buffer is helping, but not good enough to keep it alive.
Typical the picture freeze after 1-2 minutes and the "user" must do something active (e.g change channel up and down to get the stream alive again).
In Windows VLC player is there a "Loop function" the user can select to prevent this problem. This feature will make the HTTP connection stay alive in case of interruption or time outs.
I have not yet found any IPTV TS stream on the Internet, that will keep alive for more than max 2 minutes. So this must be a big problem.
I can tell my Internet is a stable 100 Mbit connection.
Other solutions for Enigm2
Plugin IPTV Player: Yes this have a feature for this when rename .TS to M3U8. BUT there is a buffering bug. So you get max 10 minutes before toy gan an error from the software. (No freezing picture)
Plugin: IPTV World: Yes this plugin have 3 payers to select. Player 2 and 3 actually works 100 %. But it can not read all .TS streams ?? In this case the stream never starts. This plugin is also crashing sometimes :-(
So at this moment i can't find any solution that will make IPTV usefull..
Hope you can see the problem and find a working stable solution
