1 in-home box to serve all devices

by Sabinn037

Currently I have Android TV's. There are IPTV clients installed and configured on all of them. Each time another app is loaded (Netflix/YouTube/etc) the app hibernates then re-establishes it's connection on demand. It's not as as seamless as I'd like it to be and definitely slower then preferred performance.

I'd like to avoid each app on each TV having to update it own separate EPG every week. Is there a piece of hardware I can put on my network to maintain a 100% uptime and keep the EPG up to date? Then aggregate the connections to each TV?

I feel like this would speed up load times on the IPTV apps. Thoughts?

Emby can technically do what you want but I don't recommend it because it's not going to actually give you the performance you're looking for. You're better off having apps on the individual devices the way you already are doing.

You could use tvheadend as the iptv "server" and then have each client connect to it. Tvheadend is a great piece of software with a lot of capability including centralized recording, scheduling and management along with live tv pausing. The only issue is to take advantage of these features you need to use kodi as the client. It does output an m3u link for other clients but you lose the recording and livetv pausing features. It is also a bit techy to setup.

what IPTV client are you using? sounds like whatever you are using

1, doesnt stay active as a background process.

  1. doesnt cache EPG entries so it doesnt have to reload ever time you open it.

Try another Client. MYTVOnline does both of what you want, but is only found on Formuler boxes.
