TUTORIAL: Using the VLC HTSP Plugin

VLC HTSP Plugin The VLC plugin has been written to allow VLC to act as a standalone Tvheadend client, rather than relying on manually providing it with HTTP...

Also, FYI, I installed the plugin on openSUSE 13.1 and Leap 42.1 -- a minor point, the plugin path is /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/access ...

Just a minor point regarding the linux source repo: the link to http://ci.btbn.de/job/vlc-htsp-plugin/PLATFORM=linux_x64,label=linux/ws/ is dead, so I used the github repo link https://github.com/BtbN/vlc-htsp-plugin to download the project zip and build the plugin for Debian 8. Works like a charm!

Same problem here in Linux

VLC 3.x (32bit)

Can not more build.
I'm not a programmer and need help with that.
Can anyone make a fork vom BtbN's vlc-libhtsp-plugin at github, because BtbN is no longer interested at this project?!

I am successfully build, and run plugin in linux mint 22 using vlc 3.0.20.
-install libvlccore-dev, libvlc-dev
-Clone this repository: git clone -b vlc-3.0 swegener/vlc-htsp-plugin.git, and compile (thanks to swegener for support)
-copy libhtsp_plugin.so in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vlc/plugins/access, and restart vlc
-go to tools-settings-all settings, and search for htsp
-make settings for profile, port, username, password, port, and save

For now, I only make connection using manual adding stream as example:
htsp://username:password@ip_address:htsp_port/channelid

Auto grab channels not work for me.... If anyone know how to make it work, write here... 🙂

Epg is ok in epg tab in player!

Manual creation of playlist, also working. Here is my example:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-logo="url_here" tvg-id="xxx" tvg-chno="x",channel_name
#EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000
htsp://username:password@server_ip:htsp_port/channelid
