Demos

Fast Channel Change + Time-Shift Playback

TIP

Fast channel change requires using IPTV-optimized players, such as mytv-android / TiviMate / Cloud Stream / built-in web player. The player in the video is TiviMate.

Some common general-purpose players (such as PotPlayer / IINA) are not optimized for startup speed and will not show significant improvement.

Built-in Web Player

TIP

Requires M3U playlist configuration. Access via browser at http://<server:port>/player to open.

Due to browser decoding limitations, some channels may not be supported (manifested as no audio or black screen).

Real-time Status Monitoring

25 Concurrent 1080p Multicast Streams

NOTE

Single stream bitrate 8 Mbps. Only consumes 25% CPU single core (i3-N305), 4MB memory.
