Tvheadend

It should be supported by ffmpeg which is already used by tvheadend, isn't it?

@Rafal it doesn't work like that, tvheadend only supports MPEG-TS input streams. I'm with perexg on this one, adding RTMP support is a bit out of the scope of this project since no real TV streams use that protocol.

I thought there is not so much effort necessary in order to implement RTMP support, especially I think I have seen a patch for older version somewhere on the Net. Actually more and more providers share their materials using RTMP as this is cheaper than satellite or DVB-T and does not need a concession for streaming. Having this implemented would be a great extensions to channels available in DVB and/or IPTV...

TVH accepts only MPEG-TS format as the source. No other formats are supported. Only small parts from ffmpeg is used to transcode streams, but this job is outside the input chain / services / channels.

You need another software for streaming/transcoding this material. You may configure ffmpeg server (HTTP) to convert these streams to MPEG-TS and this can be provided as an input to tvheadend. But - good luck!

Sounds great, but could you tell me how to add HTTP stream in TVH 3.9?

Please tell me how you do that, because I cannot find any information that udpxy would ever support rtmp.
Also rtmp uses flv container while tvheadend takes only mpeg-ts, I wonder what converts this for you?

You might want to have a look at https://github.com/Jalle19/node-ffmpeg-mpegts-proxy, people are already using it successfully to play streams that tvheadend cannot use natively.

This ticket can be closed, as pipe:// has been implemented.
