Limit SAT>IP sessions based on IP address

Added by Mono Polimorph about 8 years ago

Hi,

I'm using the IPTV to SAT>IP gateway function of TVheadend. I'm very satisfied with it.

Regarding the new commit in the source for improve the admin of the IPTV inputs...
http://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/commit/e06307b655440f69a7b0fb6a00d582a1ec97ee89

I like to suggest a new function:

- In my environment I can read several multicast IPTV streams. Then, any of them is accesible at any time, so there is no limit for the inputs. In the SAT>IP config I can export all of these streams without any restriction. But, I like to have the option for limit the number of concurrent SAT>IP connections based on the IP address of the client. I feel this is not complex, as only a config parameter for setting a number (0=no limit, 1=one session, 2=two sessions, etc.) of the concurrent SAT>IP sessions is needed. However, the requirement is based only on the IP address (as the user using the SAT>IP protocol isn't autenticated).

Is that possible? I hope so.
Thank you.
