How to stream my own videos on iptv channel using tvheadend

Hi all

I'm new to tvheadend

I want to stream my own videos on my own channel, is that possible? what I need to do?

I'm running tvheadend on ubuntu and I can access the main settings page of tvheadend

Do I need to buy a device in order to stream my own videos?

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks in advance

use vlc in a terminal window from a linux desktop

here is the script I run that makes a list in VLC of all the Mp4's in that directory and runs them one after another round and round

----

#!/bin/bash

vlc -vvv /disk10/"The Big Bang Theory Web"/ --loop --sout-keep --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.201:32002}'

-----
run the script

now connect to that computer (192.168.1.201:32002)

first use vlc on another computer to make sure it works

then tvheadend mux

http://192.168.1.201:32002 put your address in the mux url field

works good

make sure port 32002 is open or use a port of your choice if exposing to the internet choose one that the Russians and Chinese wont scan to death
