Prog Media server
Prog Media Server is a ProgDVB module allowing you to broadcast the
information via home-networks, or to watch several channels on the
same computer simultaneously.
Features:
1. Current TV-channel broadcasting Herewith,
the client may switch the channels independently (if he knows the
password set on server).
2. IPTV Server. Transmission of channels from current transponder in Transport Stream format.
3. Shoutcast server for TV and radio channels. For example you can use WinAmp for radio station listen.
4. Also, ProgDVB channels list (upon request) etc.
Multicast, broadcast and unicast tcp protocols are being supported.
Free version (Home) supports only tcp, with not more than one
supported client at the same time. Besides, some clients (e.g. VLC)
can operate only with broadcast or multicast.
Pro version of Prog Media Server costs 60 Euros (include updates in future) for small
networks.
PS: if you don't need to watch TV on server, start ProgDVB with the
key /NoGraph to spare a great deal of resources.
