Getting Custom MPEG-TS Stream into TVH

Added by Mike D 11 months ago

I have an app that captures video from hardware (a magewell card) and produces an MPEG-TS stream. I'm really really new to TVH and I don't understand all of the settings and pages in the WebUI. I've never worked with network streams or anything, but I think, from what I've read, that it's possible to do this.

Is there a straightforward way to implement this? I haven't been able to find a simple guide for this. I've been searching for users using ffmpeg to read from a camera and feed it into TVH, but nothing I've found so far is helping me.

I've tried to create a new IPTV network, and I've tried to create a new IPTV Automatic Network. I'm not sure this is the correct first step though. I've also read where I need to create a new Mux, but I can't create the Mux until I create a network. So I'm really confused as to where to put the command line that will launch my app that will capture the A/V and write a TS to stdout (pipe:1).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ultimately I'm trying to get this into Plex via an HDHR simulator.

Oh, I'm using TVH 4.3-2187~gfd8b9e8ba on Ubuntu 22

On the first link, I don't really comprehend what is meant by 'create a network' and 'create a mux'? I see where that is in the GUI, but what type of network specifically?

This is my unfamiliarity with all of the terms of IPTV. I only ever dealt with stuff like capture, compression and encapsulation but never delivery, so I don't understand the network stuff. (Although I thought I understood muxing, just interleaving audio/video/meta data within the encapsulation phase), maybe it means something different here?

Sorry for my ignorance, and thanks for the help.
