IPTV multicast setup

2012-10-10 Thread krad
Hi,

I currently have an iptv multicast setup at home. I want to replace
the isp supplied router with a freebsd box. I'm fine on the normal
routing setup however I'm having difficulty finding uptodate info on
howto setup a freebsd multicast router. Can anyone give me any
pointers? I think they use igmpv3 if that helps.

Chris

hm, vlc. Not exactly IPTV though. You'll find in the ports/multimedia/vlc

 I need some sofware that allow resive multicast TV and cast them to STB and
 PC...

The thing with IPTV is that the content is encrypted, and gets decrypted
by the STB, which is controlled by your IPTV-provider. You cannot simply
connect your FreeBSD box to your switch, receive multicast video and
display it. I don't think you'll find open source software that does this...

The other way around works fine, of course. vlc sends multicast and the
STB displays it.

HTH, Nikos

Sorry no. But I am sure that you'll not have many choices, if any.
Content providers have very strict policies about the content they
provide(movies). Having the data on a PC program(closed source
of course) increases the possibility of data leaking and I guess they
don't want to mess up with Paramount or whatever...
