The plugin was designed to watch multicast MPEG2 transport streams 
provided by finnish Internet operators, but the EXT protocol allows you 
to use it for every possible stream you can receive and transcode on 
your Linux machine.

The plugin comes with an example script that utilizes VLC 
(www.videolan.org) for streaming and transcoding. Just add for example 
NasaTV to the first URL entry of the script and then modify 
channels.conf according to it:

iptvstream.sh:
1)
URL=http://www.nasa.gov/COMPLETE-URL-HERE.asx
;;

channels.conf:
NasaTV;IPTV:1:IPTV|S0P0|EXT|iptvstream.sh|1:P:0:2:3:0:0:1:0:0:0

If you can watch a stream via VLC, you can use it as IPTV source.

[vdr] Feeds for IPTV plugin

[Timothy D. Lenz]

I spent awhile googling IPTV to see what could be used with this plugin. The
big network sites like NBC and CBS came up and they do list shows you can
watch online. But I found none of the info that would be needed to
configure the plugin to work with these sites. Other sites that came up
where www.dishnetpc.com/ and www.direct-pctv.com/ which claim unlimited
access to 9000 channels if you buy their $40 software. Something noticably
lacking from those sites is a REAL LIST of the channels they give access to.
And even if they where legit, there is nothing there that indicates they
would work with vdr and the plugin.

So just what can be used with the IPTV plugin? Any links to sites known to
work?
