The plugin *should* actually have native support for rtp wrapped udp multicast data such as your streams seem to be. It is not well tested but I'd love to hear rtp being successfully used somewhere :) Do you know what encoding format your provider uses for the streams? Play it with mplayer -v rtp://233.51.128.19:1234 to see the information. If it is in one of the formats supported by vdr (MPEG2/TS or h264 with vdr patches) you could try the plugin native methods for inputting the data to vdr. So instead of doing complicated and error prone EXT|vlc2iptv -stream conversion your channels.conf entry could look something like this (for Hansenet): Das Erste;IPTV:10:IPTV|S1P0|UDP|233.51.128.19|1234:P:0:2:3:0:0:1:0:0:0 In the best case you'd get working epg, automatic pid updates and all the other goodies from the stream when using native udp input methods. -- Antti _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
