Forums » Tutorial and setups ». Added by Kev S over 9 years ago. It was authored by Tvheadend user Timo Rothenpieler and details can be found here.

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! But I cannot get the plugin detected from VLC. I’m running Linux I dont think it is a optimal way though. I believe that a user should be able to install it in its home directory. Nontheless i tried to copy the plugin to. I use Ubuntu Pluging build 76 – 79 doeson’t work for me too, but build 68 works great. Thanks J U. I forget to say big 10x to Timo Rothenpieler for its great work. I’m having issue with this plugin. I’m using TVH 3. I can playback normal http streaming in VLC just fine, but with this plugin the audio and video drops out regular, dropping packets all the time.

Kernel 3. I downgraded to 3. Mac- and Windows-versions both don’t recognize the plugin. Linux-version is working. Atm xbmc kodi is the only tvheadend-frontend being able to do that. Very annoying with iphone-frontend tvhclient. Every channel needs to be chosen from a menu. Really would like to use tvheadend as streaming backend for several devices in the house.

VLC and kodi are the only windows-programs being able to connect with tvheadend. Kodi is too fat for occasional usage. In Debian Wheezy Bit it is not working, libatomic. And i don’t know where i can find that file. Sorry, too complicated. Don’t have a github-account and don’t know the difference between issue, pull-request and ticket. Really, I don’t wanna figure-out nerd-world just because the developer doesn’t visit the tvheadend-page. This is the main-source to get his plugin.

I’m happy to share my experiences because I think some of you will run into similar issues:. But the plugin was not detected when starting VLC. To get details what went wrong, I called vlc from the command line with. Among lots of clutter it told me that there is a missing shared library the plugin is depending on:. Thanks Tobias, I had the exact same issue with Ubuntu Well written! And thanks to Kev S for developing the plugin and usage instructions. Works like a charm!

Can not more build. I’m not a programmer and need help with that. Can anyone make a fork vom BtbN’s vlc-libhtsp-plugin at github, because BtbN is no longer interested at this project?!

Sign in Register. Search : Tvheadend. Replies I had the same problem. Does anybody know if it is really impossible to install the plugin to the home directory? Thanks for answers.. Tomas P. The builds 74 and 76 did not work for me.

I have Ubuntu J U wrote: The builds 74 and 76 did not work for me. Kay R. Using the plugin successfully on windows VLC, thank you. Can I use it on Raspbmc Pi if so how? Could somebody try to fix that?

Thanks in advance. But in WinXP Bit is it working. Congratulation, great work! Attaching Win32 version of plugin just to have it work on VLC 32 bit.

Hi, Anyone that could make work the htsp plugin with this scenario? VLC 3. Same problem here in Linux VLC 3.

VLC Plugin.

[GitHub – BtbN/vlc-htsp-plugin: Plugin for VLC to access TVHeadend via HTSP.

VLC Media Player, itself is a great piece of work. If you are looking to play video and audio files along with other supported things like subtitles, VLC media player needs nothing else. But if you are one of those who require some unique features or who want to extend the functions of a software, then you probably heard about add-ons and plugins. VLC Media Player has a ton of those add-ons. We can load them up manually by downloading the. VLC Media Player allows you to add some new features to the player.

Adding a skin to the player change the interface of the player. There are other types of add-ons which allows VLC to do something different like, load lyrics automatically for songs or load subtitles automatically for videos. Here are a few things that you must know about them:.

It also depends upon which users you are going to make available the add-ons for. The default ones are:. Then you copy the downloaded file to the location mentioned above, depending on your OS.

After loading the Plugins and extensions window, click on the Find more addons online button. It will retrieve the list of extensions from their online repository. Once you find your desired extension, select it and then on the Install button. The manager will automatically download and install the plugin to your player. You can easily search the library to find your desired plugin. You can find skins, playlist parsers, service discovery, interfaces, art and media fetchers as well as the usual extensions.

Hi, but I can see that there are couple of lua scripts embedded in apk file, including playlist, meta and reader scripts. It just seems to be limited compared to desktop versions of vlc. Anyone know where to copy.

Does it require SU privileges? Ah your so right i tried to use the remote control on my vlc app which is on android box T9 and there is no interface that supports the remote. Hi all, I am trying to install Time V3. But I am stuck at VLC. What am I missing? And thanks! I was able to copy the file to the appropriate directory using the Terminal in OS X. Go to your Applications folder and right-click on the VLC app.

Close everything. Quit and restart VLC. Any help to make this useful addon work would be greatly appreciated. After installing the extension Time v2. Click on Time v2. On the first drop-down list from the top, choose where on the screen you want the counter. On the next drop-down list, choose the lettering style for your timecode. My favorite is the very first on the list, [E]. The chosen style will appear on the field just below on the small panel.

If you are using a compatible version of VLC, you should see a timecode on your screen as you play a video. It may solve problems in VLC 3. Much less trouble than getting upset. But use it where? I managed to download the files with ease, and copied where I was told. Also, restarted the vlc app.

Can someone help? This is a nightmare. Safari just opens them as if it were a web-page and the source code is presented in the browser instead of downloading the file. Once you manage to somehow get the file on to your computer and save it as a. You have to copy it to the VLC-folder. Once you open the folder and copy the files into those katalogs that are mentioned and restart VLC you get absolutely nothing.

So to the VLC developers I have one thing to say. VLC is not some ill-conceived amateur trash-ware for the inexperienced user to point and click their way to digital enlightenment. Because of the modular design, usability can appear obfuscated and nonsensical to the uninitiated. Most commercial products gratis or otherwise restrict functionality by handicapping the user with licensing conditions, proprietary restrictions or design philosophies that appeal to the lowest common denominator.

As a second year computer science student you should know this, or at the very least know how to use a search engine. Echoed my thoughts precisely. The config, for instance, is a great way to catch a glimpse of how deep the rabbit hole goes: just put it in advanced mode and you realize how open ended and flexible the structure is.

Probably the most distinctive element is an attitude that someone else is wrong, owes you something, etc. Completely external locus of control, setting up the victim role as a knee jerk reaction when one encounters any situation demanding so much as a modicum of cognitive effort or even some distress. The compiler will accept what it can and fail on invalid syntax. Interfaces do what they do whilst daemons and services frolic in the background.

IT, CS, whatever… You have to have a knack, and you have to love it and embrace the opportunity to know without a doubt your mistakes are your own. Only then will you cultivate the right attitude and skill set and not be miserable and incompetent.

People DO take the source code and make it serve their purposes. Flexible systems have an inherently high learning curve. IOW, nobody owes you anything and it comes off incredibly foolish sounding. Makes sense to me, anyway. Hi Sillen:- Did you get a solution for installing the TuneIn extension? For me it is still a nightmare…. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

The files generally have a. Generally those third-parties are promoting their own service s with VLC. No fancy install wizard or anything of that nature. After copying the lua files, you will have to restart your VLC player or start a new instance of the player. Then depending upon the addon,you will find them on menu items. Click on those to activate them. Where to copy lua files to? How an Addon.

Lua is Installed? Is it planned? Sillen your ignorance is the problem here, not the program. This is like VLC itself, powerful but a nightmare to use.

[HTSP for VLC – Ricks Satellite Wildfeed and Backhaul Forum

View code. I am no longer working on this, primarily because I stopped watching TV and thus using tvheadend. Also, if you export an m3u playlist of your channels from tvh, and open it in VLC, you have the same set of features this plugin offers, just without all the weird bugs. Some settings are available for the service discovery. Filter advanced settings for HTS to easily find them. Resources Readme. Releases 2 tags. Packages 0 No packages published. Contributors 6. You signed in with another tab or window.

Once a mux is verified to contain valid streaming data, it creates a corresponding service , and services are then mapped onto specific channels that will be accessible to a TVH client.

The mapping of services onto channels is usually manual. However, in this guide, we use bouquets to automatically map services to channels and generate their tags.

Here is a list of various installation procedures. Read the notes before following the official installation procedure. Whatever method you choose, after the installation , check that your TVH server is either version 4. Otherwise, review your installation or choose a different method because you are using an outdated version and compatibility is uncertain. This is the recommended procedure for compatible devices because it allows you to keep your TVH updated via APT along with the other installed packages on your OS.

The latter is too outdated. The package version must be 4. This is useful if the candidate version i. The other repos contain outdated releases. Always build from the master branch of the Github repo. Install as a Docker Container with the LinuxServer image : Alternative to anyone who is not running a Linux host, for example, or already have other Dockerized services up and running. The image is provided by an unofficial but well-known source—namely, LinuxServer.

The TVHlink integration is non-trivial because the container does not include Streamlink by default. In short, it uses custom script execution to install and update Streamlink in the container. Use the latest image tag for your architecture. This is the default, so you should not need to change anything to pull the right image. It goes without saying that the machine hosting the TVH server should have a fixed IP address at the local network because all the clients will be pointing to it.

If you provided admin credentials during the installation, you will be prompted to enter the credentials now. This configuration allows clients to send all their credentials in plain text. This is not a problem if your TVH server is only used locally. However, this is a problem if your TVH server is reachable outside your private network because the credentials will be accessible to anyone able to intercept the packets between client and server—you should always assume that this is the case when sending packets over the WAN.

If you want to use your TVH server remotely, my suggestion is to either use a vpn or b wireguard or c ssh tunnel key-based auth or d a reverse proxy with SSL termination TLS and independent and hardened credentials. Now create a password for the client user:. If you want to add more users , just repeat this step as many times as necessary. However, this is way beyond the scope of this tutorial.

Therefore, you can safely disable automatic EPG grabbing at start-up , as follows:. Streamlink is a command-line utility which pipes video streams from various services into a video player, such as VLC. The main purpose of Streamlink is to avoid resource-heavy and unoptimized websites, while still allowing the user to enjoy various streamed content.

This is an awesome Python utility and if you have never used it before, make sure to check their documentation. In the TVHlink context, it is used to pipe data from a livestream channel to a TVH server, as illustrated in the client-server flow. Streamlink has plugins for most of the major streaming platforms Youtube, Twitch, Dailymotion, etc.

For an exhaustive list of the available plugins, check their plugin matrix. The official docs contain detailed instructions about how to install Streamlink on a variety of platforms. However, a few of the package repositories contain outdated versions of the Streamlink utility.

If you choose to install via apt , pacman , dnf , and other common Linux distro package manager, make sure to install Streamlink version 2. You can find the latest version number and a summary of the changes on their Releases page.

This is the recommended procedure for compatible devices because it allows you to keep your Streamlink updated along with other packages installed on your OS. This offers the highest cross-plataform compatibility—that is, as long as you can install Python, you can install Streamlink this way. Starting Streamlink version 2. Therefore, first, install python3 and its package manager, python3-pip. Then, install Streamlink via pip3 to make sure it is installed as a Python 3 package instead of Python 2.

This means that if you try to run streamlink after a pip3 install –user streamlink install, for example, your shell might not find the executable.

To use it, do the following:. Because the custom-cont-init. Once done, re start your TVH container and the script should automatically install and update Streamlink at every startup.

Check the logs for any [TVHlink] messages. The script also updates Streamlink after it has been installed, so it makes sure your container is always runnig the latest version of it.

However, the script only triggers at start-up, so it will only try to update Streamlink then. For other TVH docker images, either go to my tvhlink repo and open an issue to request support or you will need to install Streamlink manually and then disable automatic container updates.

For a non-exhaustive compatibility list and their transport modes, check the official player compatibility table. We will configure the network to automatically create services for the muxes, instead of scanning them one by one, and then enable a bouquet to automatically map services to channels.

In brief, it tells your TVH server to call streamlink with the options:. It is possible to include additional options but these are both necessary and sufficient to get the TVHlink integration working. Also, I tend to use the Icon URL from the official Youtube channels because the address has proved to be quite reliable and the image format is perfect for what we are doing.

Lastly, Channel tags are optional but it will help your clients finding what they want more efficiently. Open the Tvheadend log window in the webUI at the bottom and check that the TVH is correctly requesting and reading data from streamlink. If it is, you should see something like this:.
