Feature #5020
open

Updated about 7 years ago.
Description
Would it be possible to add .ts to the end of the channelid url without affecting the url of the channel for reasons of compatibility of apps/players.
Example:
http://xx:yy@ip:port/stream/channelid/1961075286.ts
I hope we can see this feature soon, even if it's optional.
Why this for?
Why to simulate HLS playlist chunks,
when is used TSHTTP protocol?
Better to implement HLS than this not so useful feature.
TSHTTP is continuous stream requested by http url
HLS is dynamic playlist *.M3U8 with point to *.TS chunks stored on web served folder
Continuously downloading them
There is some positives and negatives but that's other thing.
Which players are affected?

Freesat and Smart IPTV in certain television models (also Smart IPTV for Android).
I think that apps do not play correctly if they do not know the type of data flow
The stream type is in HTTP header (mime type). The identification using the suffix is a bit bad idea for HTTP streams.
