Tvheadend

When trying to add a TV Headend playlist into ProgDVB you may find that it just crashes (or rather just closes) on you - this seams to be because it can't handle MKV Containers.

Therefore you will need to follow the following steps:-

1. Firstly make sure you have HTS Tvheadend 3.2 or later installed - the earlier versions are a lot more temperamental and buggy
2. Login to the TV Headend Interface
3. Click "Configuration"
4. Click "Digital Video Recorder"
5. Change "Media container" to "TS (pass-through)" (You may wish to create a new profile for recordings where this is MKV, the default must be "TS (pass-through)")
6. Click "Save Configuration"
7. Open Prog DVB
8. Click Settings
9. Click TV Sources
10. Click "IPTV Client"
11. Click "Add IPTV Provider"
12. Enter an appropriate Name: (e.g. Freeview)
13. Enter your Tvheadend Playlist URL: (e.g. http://TVHEADENDIP:9981/playlist/channels where TVHEADENDIP is the IP Address of your TV Headend server)
14. Choose the codepage (UTF-8?)
15. Click OK
16. Click OK
17. Click on a channel name! (The first time you tune into a radio service may result in a long delay while it works out it's not a TV channel).

Updating the Channel List

• No EPG
• No Channel numbers
• No Channel logos (copied from Tvheadend - it may match some channels)
• When switching Multiplex ProgDVB will sometimes say "Error Timeout!" - Simply select the channel again.
