IPTV VoD pipe example

Added by Ruediger Koenen over 5 years ago

Hi All,
Since day I'm trying to VoD provided by my IPTV provider up and running. So far, I've tried everything what I have found. But without any success.
Out of the channel list of the provider, for each video a MUX has been created. Now I'm looking forward to stream these videos. When putting the URL into e.g. VLC, it's working fine. When trying to get it via TVH, I'm now lost in space.
Going to Config -> DVB Input -> Muxes I open the VoD Mux and adding to Environment (pipe):

pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -i "${URL}"-vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts pipe:1

However, when trying to watch the video by click on play, VLC comes up, but nothing happen

I think there should be a space after "${URL}"

If it still doesn't work, try out ffmpeg on the commandline:

export URL="url goes here" 
 ffmpeg -i "${URL}"

Some IPTV providers require a User Agent header.

Good Morning,

Many thanks! The space has been added, but still no success. Even when I replace "${URL}" with the .mp4 or .mkv link.
When trying on command line the result is:

ffmpeg -i "${URL}"

Any hint?

Many thanks!!

RE: IPTV VoD pipe example - Added by saen acro over 5 years ago

There is to be used more advanced command line because stream is not so Mpeg2 standard (ISO/IEC 13818) supported.
Or with other words:
Video: h262-h264-h265
Audio: mpeg1/2 aac ac3 dts
subtitles: dvb subtitles, teletext subtitles

Find a way to burn-in subtitles or remove it.

ffmpeg -i "sample.mkv"  -y  -c:v copy  -map 0:0 -bsf h264_mp4toannexb -c:a ac3_fixed -b:a 640000 -ar 48000 -ac 6 -map 0:1 -f mpegts   -threads 0 -crf 23 -f mpegts pipe:1

Sorry, it's still a pain in ... and I'm also still in the limbo with the pipe configuration.
Is there any way to get it via the thv web gui running?

Many thanks and best regards,

RE: IPTV VoD pipe example - Added by Eric S over 5 years ago

I don't know if my question goes here or not but I want to give this a try.
I made a custom m3u playlist of a couple of IPTV channels that I wanted to have running through my TVheadend server (4.2.7-44 LibreELEC Tvh-addon v9.0.118)
Several of the IPTV channels work just find but there are a few that are really stubborn. They work when I am checking the channels in VLC but when I put them into Tvh the Mux scan result is "FAIL". I even had one working just fine for a couple of hours, then it failed and I could not get it to work again.
I found on one page to use "wget --user-agent="HTS/tvheadend" http://URL." to test the site and it comes back with a 401 error, so the provider is agent filtering. If you change the user-agent to anything else or even drop it the stream works just fine, but I don't know how to put that information into the Mux so it will pull the data. I understand that the User Agent is the tool being used to pull the stream, but it should be able to be spoofed in some way. I have seen several sites that list a "pipe" method but I have no idea how to implement it.

Can anyone help?
Eric
