Custom MPEG-TS Input¶

Requirement¶

The TVHeadend 3.9.2100 and up for the pipe:// URL support. Note that TVHeadend expects the input in the raw MPEG-TS format with correct PAT/PMT tables.

IPTV URLs¶

Note: Always try the command without pipe:// prefix on standard command line, if it works with a stdout redirection to a file!!
