Streaming-PlugIn

The stream plugin allows you to stream a channel over a network. The DVB device (if it's a full featured one) will be able to be tuned to channels on the same transponder as the streamed channel. Currently a PES stream is uni- or multicasted to any client on the network who whishes so. That means, the only players who can use this stream will (currently) be mplayer and the special RTP windows codec (I guess).

In Unicast mode the stream plugin listens on a configurable port (default 2002, just behind SVDRP) and sends the stream to up to ten clients simultaneously. A test client is included in the subdir client.

In Multicast mode it streams to a configurable Multicast Group (default 224.0.1.2) on a configurable port.

In ffserver mode it streams to a script, which can be specified at the command line (default ffstream.sh) to serve whatever codec ffmpeg is capable to serve (if your machine is fast enough).

Please note that this PlugIn is currently not under development and is considered DEPRECATED... Most functions of this PlugIn will be found in the near future (or can be found already) inside the Client/Server-Streaming PlugIn.
