Hi,
thanks for this great new plugin! i tryed VLC to transcode on the fly

it seems to work with some issues: transcoding takes about 15% of my

The vlc player with its integrated vlm server (aka. telnet interface) is
a good starting point, as it provides RTSP VoD sources with the ability
of play/pause and seek. I'm not sure, but I think vlm can also stream
live streams. And even on-the-fly transcoding works.
i have played a bit with
Iptv plugin uses VLC to transcode only the stream being currently
received so there really should not be any CPU power wasted on
transcoding inactive streams.
well, then i misunderstood the whole thing. i thought that the user has to make
the stream ready and iptv will use it. at least thats how

sub-streams, and liblivemedia delivers video and audio as separate
data streams. If you're interested, I can share my work-in-progress

Yes that's the intended behavior.
to be honest, i did not make that many tests. i just tryed to prepare

ahhh, i did not see that sample file... thanks for that hint!
