Using VLC as an IPTV receiver
Posted: 28 Sep 2009 10:08
I have an IPTV system and use VLC to play streams. Currently, I launch VLC and open a network stream using a UDP multicast address.
Not very friendly for other users!
As part of the IPTV system, I have access to a channel list in XML, with a format as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<channel-list xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<channel number="1">
<name>BBC One</name>
<multicast ip="226.0.18.92" port="10000"/>
</channel>
<channel number="2">
<name>BBC Two</name>
<multicast ip="226.0.18.93" port="10000"/>
</channel>
</channel-list>
Is there any way VLC media player can load the XML file so users can select the channel to play?
Thanks
