Can DVBViewer handle XFF in IPTV addresses?

[alien]

Hi,

 

I am absolutely new to DVBViewer.

I have downloaded the demo version and browsed the forum to get the follow question answered, but so far no success.

 

I am trying to find out if the DVBViewer is able to handle the following format for streams, in particular the X-Forwarded-For parameter.

 

http://my.link.net/go/here@90210/mstr.m3u8|X-Forwarded-For=10.10.10.10

 

 

Background: I am a Kodi user and I am looking for a way to watch and record those streams.

 

 

Thank you for your help,

A

No, the current version doesn't support HLS Streams at all.

 

Griga is working on HLS support. The next DVBViewer GE (playback and recodings) and TransEdit version will support it.

 

Support in DVBViewer Pro and Recording Service is planned but my take some time. So my be not in the next version of them.

 

And X-Forwarded-For is not supported in the current internal version.

Hi Tjod,

 

thank you very much for your quick and detailed reply!

 

One quick follow-up question, as I did not understand the last sentence - what do you mean with 'internal' version? I did not get that.

 

Thanks,

A

There is currently a DVBViewer GE/TransEdit Beta.

But it is only available for "official" Betatester.

So not every DVBViewer user can try it.

Got it. Thanks again for your quick reply.

That's not correct. DVBViewer Pro supports HLS playback via Playback -> Open URL, but no X-Forwarded-For parameter.

 

However, the upcoming DVBViewer GE release will provide a more sophisticated implementation. It enables HLS streams in the channellist and maybe using special parameters... we'll see.

The DVBViewer Pro can play nearly everything if the matching filter is installed on the system.

 

But recordings are not possible.

HLS support is implemented in the VOD Source Filter (by Christian), that is part of the DVBViewer installation. The LAV Source Filter supports HLS by using the ffmpeg implementation, but in my experience it is almost unusable.
