eyetv-iptv-server

EyeTV->IPTV server

Provides an interface for an IPTV frontend to stream EyeTV channels, for example Kodi's IPTV Simple PVR Client. It provides a m3u8 playlist with url's to stream uncompressed EyeTV live channels.

Setup

EyeTV will first need to be installed to the same machine as eyetv-iptv-server.

An installer can be found in releases. It will install the EyeTV capture plugin, activate EyeTV's iPhone access and set eyetv-iptv-server to run at login.

After installation set the IPTV client to use http://localhost:9898/playlist.m3u8 as the M3U playlist.
