Source Specific Multicast not covered by URL handling
Added by Utz Martin almost 8 years ago
I observed a serious problem with URL handling when using IPTV streams via SSM (source specific multicast).
In the MUX I have to specify the stream URL, e.g. rtp://[email protected]:10000.
Notice, this TV stream is only available if you are connected to the German Telekom network under an appropriate contract. Unfortunately the access to this type of streams is not possible with TVheadend. By network sniffing I noticed that TVheadend delivers only the stream adress 232.0.20.35:10000 to the IP router. Thus IGMP fails to connect to the source node 87.141.215.251.
Is there any workaround?
