How to play MPEG TS from websockets

[mvelanka]

We have MPEG TS coming from satellite. We have two alternatives to view it in browser.

1 We can push the TS into chunks of .ts files and create a manifest file (.m3u8 extension) and view that file in VLC player on our PC........This is working without problem.

2. We could send those TS packets via web-socket. .... and possibly read those packets on PC and feed them to VLC player that will play them.

I need to know how to make the option 2 above possible. How do I make VLC player get input from web-socket.

Please let me know or point me to any guideline if this is already discussed.
Thanks

By writing a plugin that reads the MPEG-TS feed from a WebSocket. I think you answered your own question?
