Are there any plans to support IPTV?

If you need the numbers, then it is a +1

Plus one. We in Russia are increasingly moving to IP from the on-air TV (in major cities at least). I personally have a dedicated IPTV player installed on my laptop, and I would like my favorite MC to take over this function. I have seen quite a lot of people here asking just begging and yearning for this feature for several years.

I'd like to give some information, maybe it'll be of use. So my provider sells IPTV streams and in order to watch them on a PC, they supply a special application - here it is, installer, zipped: http://rghost.ru/52171964, will be available for 30 days from now. It contains the playlist of channels, and it actually only works within my provider's network. However, it still may be useful for you because the package contains the option of installing a tiny proxy server ("UDP-to-HTTP proxy") which converts multicast UDP stream to a Unicast HTTP stream (here, I may be wrong with the terminology). This feature is mainly needed for Wi-Fi clients to be able to play the stream normally, without lags. So I have a home server with this proxy running on it and I am able to watch the IPTV from inside my home network, both via Wi-Fi and wire, and also (!) I can watch it from anywhere ouside via a VPN connection. Maybe this info will help. If you guys decide to just look into this, I already owe you beer Any questions - I will be here at your disposal. I can also give you VPN access to my server for testing puposes should you be interested.

Thank you!
