Paid IPTV

Alysandyr colquhoun

Hi there wounded if anyone can help me I have paid IPTV subscription but they do not offer multi room I think I know the answer to this but would tvheadend let me stream to others devices without paying again if I was to add my IPTV channels to it

Any help would be great
Thanks aly

No. From my understanding, Tvheadend can only stream the number of streams that you pay for. For example, its like having an external tv tuner with 2 tuner capability. Your clients can only stream those 2 turners at same time and watch different channels. If a 3rd client attaches then tvheadend will display an error that there is no available inputs.

Hope this helps,
Lisa

To be more clear,
if server have two tuners, unlimited number of clients can watch all services on mux/transponder tuners are tuned.

Stop and dont start again or like make de buffer and start again?

When u need help, u need to be more specific, in that way we can help u in better way, in short time...

when i watch only one stream its fine when a second stream is open it stops and starts every 30 or so seconds

Alysandyr colquhoun

i think it might be to do with the streaming format

Saen Acro

Stream limit by operator.

Alysandyr colquhoun

if it was that would one stream not just cut off, i can have as many open as i want and watch but they all start and stop every so often

Saen Acro

Start multiple instances with ffmpeg to null to see clear

Alysandyr colquhoun

how do i add the m3u to ffmpeg

Saen Acro

Open m3u with text editor get needed stream


ffmpeg -i input_stream -f null
