This is possible in the future development - to use http mpeg/other streams as a full-fledged TV channel?

I experienced several ways to view iptv in MC (Many thanks Schtir). The best way was viewing mpeg through http stream (the second way by using virtual dvb-t tuner have many bugs), received from mutlicast2http proxy or another similar software. I added in MC http links on all channels (for MC looks like http://10.0.1.100:2002/udp/234.5.2.66:20000/Animal Planet.mpeg). I have appointed a media type as "TV", added a cover picture - and got an excellent TV picture quality on all MC-clients simultaneously.
 
Unfortunately, MC does not consider these links as a full-fledged TV channels. They do not appear in the TV settings, they do not get EPG, and the MC switches to the next channel, at the slightest fault in the flow (same http streams with the same DS filters in MC, but through a virtual dvb-t tuner - channels do not switch ever by itself)

Human always want more), and the idea arose of the possibility of used streams playlist as a full-fledged TV channels set. There does not need the support of the driver the tuner, frequency settings and other parameters. Simply assign custom files/streams in the library as references to TV channels. It is possible to edit the appropriate fields, or take TV channels all records with the type of "TV" (and now after the appointment of this type have many things are changing - credit default cover for example).

Many special DVB-S software can output a multicast or unicast stream, and this could be a great feature in MC to support the rare hardware or complex configurations TV.

Dear Santa, my last big letter about iptv you maybe not received, but I very much hope that you are reply to this And sorry for my bad English (

But in any case, thanks for the answer)

In the latest builds of MC I can appoint http links as a patch to "file" with an analog TV channel. The technology very simple - turn on TV feature in MC, in the settings manually add few analog channels, in tags are changing the patch the channel (this field is available for editing) on your (http://10.0.1.100:2002/udp/234.5.2.41:20000/ in my case for example) and IPTV channel is ready! Do it for all needed channels.
Also no problems and convert not needed for xmltv guide, available for my country - correctly displayed Cyrillic (during the last attempt, few moths ago, was a problem with this), thanks to MC-team for their work here.
MC-clients as well without problems seeing the IPTV channels from server, TV guide also works fine.
At this moment limits the use of only a partial freeze the player when you stop playback mpeg stream, looking forward to a new build).

Recall that using eg VLC, we can convert a unicast iptv almost any video source, including DVB-S. You can also transcode stream (in the same VLC) - and watch them through a slow connection - I have it working, but as a client for now, unfortunately, not MC.

Finally, I make the hope that this feature still be possible in future ) - and its not a bug or an accident in current builds, which will then be "fixed". Distribution of TV over IP is a popular and useful features in the digital age).

If we look at for examle Kodi, there is a software called Simple IPTV. It looks very easy to integrate into MC. I hate Kodi but that feature is actually gold for me. Any chance that would happen?

[abrise]

I would be happy to get this feature also
