tvh has built in transcoding but it is not working for me, so this is still my approach. I found this on the web some years ago and used it under windows with dvbviewer and then, when I switched to Linux with VDR and now with tvheadend. I have 6 MBit/s upload and can stream HDTV with no issues but I use SDTV becasue it makes more sense.

If you want to use this over the Internet, you have to open ports 77 in your router and adjust the transcoding to fit your bandwith.
#Multiple vlc android#
On Android I use Remote for VLC to choose a channels and mx-player to play the stream. You can play the stream in vlc player: or a player of your choice. (It will play dummy for 999999 seconds and then switch to the first channel, but you can simply click stop)Ĭlick on a channel you want and the transcoding/streaming will start.
#Multiple vlc password#
(Note that in older versions of vlc, no password is needed, adjust the script) Now you can go to your browser and choose a channel: Use the password tvheadend (or whatever you configured in the script) and let the username empty. You need to make the script executeable (chmod u+x /home/user/vlc/stream) and start it in the backround: /home/user/vlc/stream & or whith cron as I mentioned. You get the url if you do a right click in tvh webinterface on play and copy link address. Playlist (example) called tv.m3u in /home/user/vlc: SOUT="#transcode"Ĭvlc $OPTIONS -sout $SOUT $STREAMFILES vlc://quit & OPTIONS="-verbose $DEBUGLVL -I dummy -extraintf=http -http-host $BINDIP -http-port $IFACEPORT -http-password $PASSWD" My files are in /home/user/vlc, where user is my username: I use a cronjob to start this at boot /home/user/vlc/stream). MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 streams received from the network or an external device can be sent to one machine or a group of machines. VLC is also used as a client to receive, decode and display MPEG streams. I use a script (on Linux) to start vlc and I have a playlist whith my tvheadend channels. Multicast is a process where media files are sent to multiple systems through the network. The built in transcoding is not working for me with tvh 3.9.975. Your question is 6 month old and I am not sure what you are asking for ("transcode multiple channels" why?), but this is how I transcode and stream Live-TV to watch it over the Internet (and I use a playlist,why not?).
