Are their any STBs compatible with VLC? And how does it working in the middleware side? if the client want to change the channel for example and i am in the server side sending 8 channels how is it working?
Can someone suggest me some docs or do some one know if a project like this one had already been implemented?

Thank you

Amino 130/125 can be tuned to a mpeg2 udp transport stream. If VLC is streaming content to the multicast 239.0.0.2:1234; pointing the web browser to igmp://239.0.0.2:1234 will issue an igmp join and tune the STB to the stream.You can see that watching a wireshark packet capture.

If you get an account with Amino, they have some documentation about testing this.
