I guess this could be useful for small ISPs in the US who don't want to pay for an iptv platform or is this more for people with security camera networks?

fastonosql7• 8 years ago

Yes, it is good idea, i don't think about security cams.

Hey, your website seems to be down and there isn't really any documentation on your project - what sort of codecs, packaging and delivery formats will you be supporting?

Thanks!

Hey, need to create wiki page, based on gstreamer pipeline. What can gstreamer can be done in this serivice. Here some commands https://github.com/fastogt/iptv/blob/master/clients/client.p... . In mostly make install, tested on debian/fedora/ubuntu.

I thought it was down at first too, but that seems to be a link to the org's site, the site for the project appears to be up: https://fastotv.com

fastonosql7• 8 years ago

Yes it is, iptv it is our backend service.

I am really curious, why isn't there any popular FOSS P2P for live streaming? It's very easy to get any show, movie, game via torrents but you can't just do the same for a live football match, is there a technical obstacle for this?

general8bitso• 8 years ago

They exist, particularly as Kodi plugins.

the_other_guy2• 8 years ago

free? like what?

P2P might not be the best method for live streaming. I build a FLOSS live streaming platform that uses HLS, and latency via Cloudflare CDN matches Twitch. That is just a growing uncachable playlist with timestamped cachable segment files. It can simultaneously syndicate out to multiple networks like Twitch, YT, and FB.

That's not really accurate, Ace Streams (live TV over BitTorrent) are very popular for live sport matches. It's not open source though :/

Tribler offers FOSS P2PTV, but it's not widely used.

I would love to see some screenshots of the UI? Or am I misunderstanding the product? Is this like an open source Apple TV competitor?

This is pretty awesome. I just set it up for my own IPTV to stream my own servers. Really simple.

Create an M3U of all your servers, i.e. PC1, PC2, PC3 and so on.

Upload the M3U and generate an installer.

Give it out to everyone you need.

Now they can stream your local library. Need to remove a channel? Just remove it from the profile.

Family videos? 1 binary. Educational videos? Another binary.

This is awesome and would be a great STB Alternative for Windows.

I'd presume it would work for M3u Streams as well for IPTV services.
