SAT>IP server app for Android ? #51

Open bluepuma77 opened 7 years ago

bluepuma77 commented 7 years ago

Hi, have you thought about creating a DVB2IP Android app using SAT>IP protocol on the basis of this project? It seems more and more Android TV-boxes with DVB-Tuner(s) show up, but a good Android app for TV networking like SAT>IP server or tvheadend server is still missing. And if using SAT>IP, you even have a standard that some TVs already implement.

Some Andoid box examples: WeTek Play TV Videostrong K1 Plus T2 S2 VideoStrong KII Pro Android Set-top Box with DVB-T2 & DVB-S2 Tuners Xtreamer mxV Plus DVB-T2 and mvX Pro DVB-T2/DVB-S2 Combo TV Boxes Geniatech ATV1960 Octa-core Android TV Box Comes with a Dual TV Tuner http://www.cnx-software.com/tag/dvb/

Hi @bluepuma77

I have not thought about this, due to the fact that I do not have that much experience with building android apps. So sorry this will be no option in the near future. Unless someone is taking up the challenge I will help out as much as possible.

Regards,

Marc

Hi Bluepuema,

This isn't the way for SAT>IP support! Instead of a non-optimized Android App, these boxes need to have native SAT>IP support. It's like the internal tuner, but using the network. This is the same way taken by ancient (non-smart) STBs. As I know, some of the manufacturers are considering native SAT>IP support.

Regards.
