I would like to raise a discussion about VDR compliance with a wide range available STBs (Set-Top-Box) for IPTV carrier integration. The advantage of such compliance is obvious - low cost of STB. The cost of STB is in the range of 80-150 USD.
I have more or less a proof-of-concept of what you want done. The problem is that is was done as a proof-of-concept and is just that is kludgy at best :-)
1) multicast MPEG-TS streaming support;
This is actually quite simple to implement, and is not that dificult do do in a plugin, that's what I did, I just implemented a Receiver Plugin, that get the TS packets, adds PAT and PMT and send that stream to a multicast address. Everything quite hard coded, but it works, and shows how it could be done.
Sounds very interesting! Is it possible to get it and test?
2) vdradmin support for multiuser STB environment.
That I never did, just some SVDRP commands via .php, and no HTML overlay (I know that it's possible I just did it as proof-of-concept never to release or anything).
Above development could affect the design of VDR in general, I would like to discuss it in details.
I'm all for it, if anyone want my crude code and improve on it and understand what I mean by kludgy and crude, it's ok to me.
Cumps,
