Multi cast on LG WebOS.

by jakupb

Hi all, I browsed internet for best iptv suit to my needs and I have found out that may be a little problem setting up iptv. Below is the question and answer from one of the website.

Q: The channels work in VLC Player, but does not work in SIPTV App? ​ A: If you have webOS or Tizen TVs and your streams are multicast, the UDP to HTTP function has to be turned on in app's settings and to be set up on your router.

So my question is how do I know if my streams are multicast, and do anyone know how to set up on UK talktalk super router, or example how to do it on any router.

I would be glad for any advices, Kind regards.

As a lurker on this sub this is my time to shine, what this sub really is about is OTT services providers, albeit you receive a TV signal is done via a public connection, video broadcasting thru Multicast on a closed network (such as a condo or a hotel or even a ISP can provide this kind of service) is what professional call IPTV, you need to use real equipment such as a UDP/RTP broadcaster and Level 2 switches, IGMP routing, etc... and of course a IPTV receiver such as a decoding box or directly on TV (I have a Samsung Program to test this I'm working on the webOS version)

Most of the providers listed on this sub are directly HTTP public connections (OTT) via a 3mu8 file where they make reference to .TS files, most of the real IPTV providers deliver only a list of URLs like this one rtp://@239.0.0.1:1234

now the question about the UDP to HTTP is not enabled on the app, is a daemon that need to be installed on a PC or router like udproxy, udproxy has support on openWRT check out if your router supports openWRT

If you need more help please tell me.

Best is to ask your IPTV provider.

That said, I’m pretty sure most are http streams, not multicast. Multicast is generally used by TV companies like Sky & BT in the U.K.
