Tuner ->NEXTPVR-> TVHEADEND ->DVBLINK->WMC, I can use Kodi to access the TV signal in like SEVEN different ways, depending the Kodi plugin I enable,and the server I use as source.Īlso, given we are talking of something that travels via IP, is not said that anything must be on the same machine. If you want to use (also) Kodi, the choices are endless, given KODI has a generic IPTV client, and also a native NEXTPVR client, a DVBLINK client, a server WMC client, and also a TVHEADEND client Tuner -> TVHEADEND ->DVBLINK-WMCīut you can chain those TV server as you like, providing the last ring of the chain is DVBLINK (the only solution capable to interact with WMC) In short, the simplest configuration would be: The bad news is that TVHEADEND is available only for Linux, the good news is that after i tested it inside a virtual machine (it works fairly well), I tried to install it on WSL(1) to avoid a further complication and to have less overhead.Īside few quirks of WSL (easy to overcome) TVHEADEND proved incredibly robust and light to use (it takes like 20% of the CPU to transcode a full HDstream, on a mid range IVY bridge CPU, which is more than 10 years old now), and as a bonus you can tailor not just the codec, but also the resolution, so I can use as a TV machine even a weak notebook from the XP era that, normally would be 100% busy if feeded at 1920x1080, but can manage the HD signal with nonchalance. So I looked for a solution for a while, until I discovered TVHEADEND, which again can manage the tuners directly or can accept an IPTV stream. Now both DVBLINK and and NEXTPVR have the ability to transcode the signal in realtime, but both of them do that (optionally) only for the web browser access.ĭVBLINK is not supported anymore, and the developer of NEXTPVR refused my suggestion to add an option to provide it also for PC clients. Which is already a super versatile setup, because once your TV signal is converted in IPTV, you can use not just WMC, but also KODI, MEDIAPORTAL, VLC, MPC-HC and so on (on WINDOWS) + more clients on Linux and Android + the universal access via a web browser (actually two way to use the TV and EPG Guide via browsers given both NEXTPVR and DVBLINK provide the WEB access) TUNER(s)->NEXTPVR->DVBLINK(iptv component) ->WMC I normally add to NEXTPVR to the mix, because a number of reasons. Two solutions: Kill Skype, then open nginx, then open Skype, OR: In the config file you are in now, look for the line "listen 80" change the 80 whatever you want, but avoid anything below 200.Click to expand.Hi, I didn't provide details, just because I thought there was no interest.īTW I use since a decade DVBLINK (the site is dead now, but DBLINK 4.1.1 is relatively easy to find.), thanks to the IPTV component I can feed any IPTV stream to WMC (multiple WMC installations across my home network).Īlthough the TUNER component of DVBLINK is pretty sufficient to have just: Or better, just use notepad++ or notepad2)ģ) If you use Skype, nginx might not work out of the box (technical reason: Skype grabs port 80, which is for web servers). I'll explain how to do that with nginx.ġ) Download it (obviously) and extract it somewhereĢ) Go into the "conf" subfolder of this folder and open nfg with an editor (standard Notepad might just throw all lines into disarray and show them all clunked together. Now you need to configure your web server.Recommendation? Just get nginx or lighty! IIS is only there on the Professional versions of Windows and above. Example: XSplit Broadcaster has a video source, ffsplit creates a video source ( Webcam, your camcorder might support this. A video input device (virtual or not) that exposes itself as a DirectShow device.You can test it with a iDevice (iPod/iPhone/iPad) though, they support the same method!
