IPTV Question

[Adrian_london]

Hi all

I am interested in IPTV using my VU+ Solo2 box. At the moment I'm using Openvix build 4.1.016

Someone gave me a test line using a plugin extension. Although the picture quality was fine, there was no software on it to record programmes or an EPG.

Instead of using Openvix, is there a different software available for my VU+ box that will let me not only watch IPTV but also let me record programmes and have an EPG?

Here they say that iptv recording is supported thanks to gstreamer

I have tried openvix4.2 to record an iptv premium channel using a testing account and it doesn´t work. If i go to the movies folder i find the file but the time recorded is ZERO.
It seems that you need two subscriptions to watch and record the same channel because gstreamer doesn´t allow you to record the watched channel on the fly. Do you have another explanation?
The type of premium channel was
#DESCRIPTION Time Rush [DE] [2016]
#SERVICE 4097:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:http%3A//blablablablbalba/blaba/blabla.mkv

I thought that 4097 channels were already supported.

I have tried with other open-free channels with openvix4.2 at it seems to work without problems.
Another explanation, is that gstreamer and openvix4.2 need some kind of buffer from the server. If the server doesn´t provide you that then they are not able to record even on the fly watching channels.

Thanks

By the way record in "normal" service stream types don´t work either using premium pay server with one subscription. The recorded file has ZERO time.
