Thank you for implementing this feature. You have opened up a HUGE set of possibilities that make the ChannelsDVR system a MUCH more useful item for many and have now enabled some incredible additional uses for ChannelsDVR and TV viewing in the home (or remote with some work).
We understand that it is currently experiential and not supported, but I really believe that you should expand and advertise this feature publicly as a main ChannelsDVR ability
Using this feature may require a stronger server (for multiple transcodes) and more tuners (the more tuners the better) depending on usage.
For example, in testing with the last test dvr release I was able to get to work with the following
(some required reduced bitrate/resolution; some used the direct channel and some used the filders)
- VLC
- QuadStrem
- Feedlix
- MrMC
- Kodi
Note most importantly that since it works with Kodi and the “Simple IPTV PVR” , you have now enabled all the set top devices that have some version of Kodi on them with the simple IPTV client but are not able to use AndroidTV (and the channels android client) to have an internal TV source for their units using this as a home iptv server.
