Hello.
I hope you dont mind some questions.
At the moment i have this setup.
20 TBS tuners / MuMudvb / Phoenix card readers / OScam.
I am unable to get MuMudvb to work with new versions os OScam so i was looking for an alternative.

1: Is TVheadend stable better than MuMudvb or Asta Cesbo for IPTV.

I can't answer this one as I don't have experience of the other two packages but on the whole, even the development branch of TVHeadend is pretty stable

2: Does it work with new Versions of OScam.

Yes. I have used the latest version built from svn with no problems.

3: Can i stream with an output of EXAMPLE = http://192.168.1.x:9988/BBC1

Almost. Each channel is identified by a unique identifier so the URL will be more like http://192.168.1.x:9981//play/stream/channel/e7c2b8d4b43c03e27a08ef3c0698f084

4: Does it work well with DVBapi or is newcamd better.

I've found using DVBapi more reliable. I use the 'OSCam net protocol' to get TVHeadend to talk to OSCam with no problems at all.

5: If i stream stops working will it automatic restart.

There are options to automatically restart a stream if it fails but I've never used them with an IPTV source

6: Do the streams restart if the server is rebooted.

Not from my experience (TVHeadend server with multiple Kodi clients using the HTSP protocol). The clients eventually timeout. Perhaps setting a large enough timeout delay might work but I haven't tested that.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you very much for your answers.
Its nice to ask a question and get a response the same day.
Right im off to install TVheadend and see how it goes.
Thanks again.

Ha! Yes, perhaps an indication that I spend too much time messing about with TVHeadend and posting on these forums...

Best of luck, any questions just shout
