as far as i know, you have to change your channels.conf like this:

NasaTV Public;IPTV:1:IPTV|S0P0|EXT|iptvstream.sh|1:P:0:2:3:0:0:1:0:0:0 NasaTV Media;IPTV:2:IPTV|S0P0|EXT|iptvstream.sh|2:P:0:2:3:0:0:1:0:0:0 NasaTV Education;IPTV:3:IPTV|S0P0|EXT|iptvstream.sh|3:P:0:2:3:0:0:1:0:0:0 Shine TV NZ;IPTV:4:IPTV|S0P0|EXT|iptvstream.sh|4:P:0:2:3:0:0:1:0:0:0 ROMA UNO;IPTV:5:IPTV|S0P0|EXT|iptvstream.sh|5:P:0:2:3:0:0:1:0:0:0

have a look at the number after |iptvstream.sh|X

Thanks.

Looks like the streams I'm connecting to are the problem - various errors connecting.

RE: the no sound problem, I'm struggling to troubleshoot this as the Nasa Public channel is the only one I have - and there's often no sound anyway!

Thanks - sound is working since I changed the audio bitrate from 320 to 190.

Thanks too for the mms stream - works, kind of. I think the bandwidth to NZ is affecting it though :)

try playing the streams with vlc on your favorite desktop - if it works there, it should also work with iptv plugin.

Thanks Simon for that tip :-) Now I managed to get some sound too, but i had to reduce it to 96 for getting a reasonablesound @ nasatv (i just got clipping and crap sound).

Are you using the iptvstream.sh script, or are you using the debian-way with the config-files for each channel in /etc/vdr/plugins/iptv/vlcinput/ ?

I don't know where the problem is, but jumping to an other channel leaves the vlc-process running, and on each iptv-channel-swap I get two new vlc-processes (pgrep vlc). So before changing to an other stream, i have to do a "killall vlc".

Are you using iptvstream.sh or some other way of controlling vlc?

Handling of vlc shutdown was changed in iptvstream.sh in plugin version 0.0.6. I wonder if your iptvstream.sh uses the new approach which was supposed to be more reliable.

This fiddling with this plugin starts to drive me nuts ;-) It looks that it's time for me to look for a wig

Heh. Sorry for all the premature hair loss. :)

The configuration of the plugin is indeed not as simple as I'd like. However we are already pushing the capability boundaries of channels.conf to the limit which means that channel configuration is not straightforward. Also interaction with vlc brings its own level of complexity to the process.

I need to spend some more time googling for free streams...

http://www.global-itv.com/ a very wide list of streams.
