Plug-in for viewing IPTV (TV channels via Internet) on WD TV Live. This UMSP plug-in is established on alternative firmware for WD TV Live ( Western Digital TV Live ) (Part Number): WDBAAP0000NBK-... ; WDBAAN0000NBK-...
So-called WDLXTV firmware from B-RAD can be
downloaded here.
I recommend for
normal functionality of a plug-in an firmware
1.02.21-WDLXTV-Live-0.4.7.3 (here) which is at present (2018) last
official public version with support WDTVExt. As working capacity of
a plug-in is checked up (but it is not recommended) on newer
versions of a series 0.5.2.2 (1.02.21-WDLXTV-Live-0.5.2.2 and
1.05.04-WDLXTV-0.5.2.2) which it is possible to take here.
ATTENTION !!! If in 2019 you have disappeared plug-ins from UMSP (on firmware 1.02.21-0.4.7.3) - set the time for WD (NTP service).
WDLXTV Configuration -> Main -> System:
NTP - on
TIMEZONE - UTC-2 (or your timezone by the rules)
NTPSERVER - ntp.ubuntu.com
NTP_DELAY - 5
IPUP - on
Save and Reboot WD
(New from April 2014) Now you can use the plugin on WD TV Live Streaming (Part Number): WDBGXT0000NBK, WDBHG70000NBK.
Specially adapted for this plugin called IPTVSMP, activated and configured similarly IPTVv3.
At the same time the player uses the so-called "firmware" 02.01.86-EXT3_Palace_Stock_Plus.
For more information about installing this firmware on the mediaplayer please read this.
(New from November 2014) Now you can use the plugin on WD TV Live Gen4 (Part Number): WDBYMN0000NBK, WDBPUF0000NBK.
Specially adapted for this plugin called IPTVSMP, activated and configured similarly IPTVv3.
At the same time the player uses the so-called "firmware" 1.01.30-EXT3_Liverpool_Plus.
For more information about installing this firmware on the media-layer please read this.
At present the plug-in is more focused on display
of channels from your provider in the coding mpeg2 on udp or http
protocols. Channels coded in mpeg4/h264 while are supported too (start is not speedup), also possible to play rtmp, rtmpe, m3u8 streams.
Video showing to possibility IPTV v3 a plug-in:
The updated video showing possibilities of IPTV v3 plug-in:
Shortly installation, adjustment, use: playlist.m3u (can be more then one) must be placed in a
flash card root or /conf or share root folder. The playlist must be in UTF-8 encoding and positions with:
#EXTINF:-1 or
#EXTINF:-1 mpeg4
or #EXTINF:-1 mpeg2
. #EXTINF:0 used in rare cases - please read below.
(By th eway if you have #EXTINF: 0 in your playlist you can immediately change to #EXTINF: -1 - otherwise probably channel will not work.)
So usually your playlist must looks like:
#EXTINF:-1, Channel name
http://link..
Reboot, turn on plug-in IPTVv3 in the web interface, save you settings by press "Save" button on bottom. Reboot
again. On WD follow to Video-> Media server-> UMSP-> IPTV
v3. The Program schedule on the recommended insertion is caused by
the remote control button "eject". The program appears naturally
only there where the channel name normal and it is recognized
according to the plugins list of conformity - is the logo exists -
there is a program (Russion channels only). To finish work with a
plug-in it is desirable (but not necessarily) by selecting the last
item in the playlist "Eject plugin".
And now ...
Complete description
Installation: To use the plug-in need the playlist file playlist.m3u. As well as USB-flash drive or USB-connected hard drive to free USB-port of WDTV Live. Needless to say needed WDTV Live is connected to the network (to the router) via cable (twisted pair) or Wi-Fi (the first is more reliable).
Example of content
playlist.m3u according to the m3u standard:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,ICTV Channel
udp://@238.0.0.5:1234
#EXTINF:-1, Canale 2
http://108.55.55.32/udp/238.0.0.10:1234
#EXTINF:-1 mpeg2,Canale 5
http://108.55.55.32/udp/238.0.0.5:1234
#EXTINF:-1,Channel 5
http://108.55.55.32/1.m3u8
The content will
fill based on data from your provider. Encoding for the file
playlist.m3u: UTF-8 (if there will be another - Channel names are
not displayed correctly). File playlistsample.m3u attached for
example, that enough to open it for editing in the editor supports
UTF8 encoding and add (copy) data from the provider playlist. You
can also just use a playlist provided by your ISP if it corresponds
to the example of the contents and has a similar name. The main
condition - extension .m3u, you can leave the playlistname by
Internet provider, or you can rename it.
Playlist sample here (Right click on url end select "Save As..").
Another option, for example, if your ISP frequently changes the
channel list, you can setup a direct link to the provider
playlist.m3u. (See below).
Regarding the USB-flash drive for firmware and place the plug-in is welcomed volume of 1-2 Gb with file system FAT32 (default for flash with a PC). You can also use a larger amount but say there are problems, I have not encountered.
So we have on usb-flash drive playlist.m3u. Can be more then one playlist in root folder of USB device, name of playlists you will see in iptvv3 plugin. Old iptv.app.bin (if was exists) remove aside.
Settings: To set up plug-in is necessary to get the appropriate section in the web interface of WD. For that would fall into the WDTV Live WebGUI need to know the ip-address of the player who was assigned in your network. If we do not know this address or does not remember, than we go in the menu "Settings" -> "Network" and see the IP-address.
Open in your favorite browser (one of that Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc.). In the browser address bar, type in IP-address of WDTV Live. It is in the Address bar and not in the search bar (there are also people place already known to them the specific address in the search field of Google or something ..). After confirming the "Start" or "Enter" if you found it right you should see a login and password to log on to the page WebGUI.
WDTV WebGUI Login
(default) : wdlxtv
WDTV WebGUI Password (default) : wdlxtv
In the interface go
to "WDLXTV Config" and then "UMSP" find the configuration section of
our plug-"IPTV v3" (in the 0.5.x.x section is rolled - show by
clicking on the "double arrow").
In firmware versions 0.5.x.x and for Gen3, Gen4 first need to specify what exactly plug-ins we are interested to download them from the server.
To do this, first go to the home page in the Addons Manager, than to UMSP Plugins and point to interesting plug-ins - in particular IPTVv3 or IPTVSMP and confirm by button "Save and Apply" at the bottom of the page.
Activate "Enable IPTV v3 UMSP plugin", scroll down page and press Save button. Reboot WDTV. For 0.5.x.x ver these steps can be skipped because "Enable" made in another section early.
Description of customizable items:
- iptvv3
"Enable IPTV v3 UMSP plugin"
- Default (ON) - actually enables and disables the plugin itself.
- IPTVV3_LOCAL
"Using local udpxy (turn OFF if
use external udpxy) Default(ON)" - - this
parameter reports about that that locally started udpxy are used.
Those which transform udp streams to http - understood by WDTV
Live. By default, this option is enabled, and if you're not an
advanced user then leave it on. If you are not an advanced
user and you do not have real IPTV (that which goes through the
udp protocol and in the playlist can be written as udp://@.....),
ie if you have any links to the channels found on the side and
presented in the form http:// .... then this option should be
turned off, that would not owerload the WD TV Live redundant
running processes, namely the two udpxy.
If you are an advanced user, and still on the router (or server) you have installed your udpxy, then make sure that whatever you have earned a second Landgraph patched udpxy (on the next port). In this case, you as an advanced user, it is recommended to disable local udpxy. (Couse You use own external).
- IPTVV3_UDPXYOLD
"Old (standart) udpxy URL (by
default http://127.0.0.1:81/udp/)
or external old (standart) udpxy URL e.g. http://192.168.1.1:81/udp/" - by default http://127.0.0.1:81/udp/ - indicates an old version of udpxy which is the default local address http://127.0.0.1:81/udp/. If anything is not understood then do not touch, leave as is.
If you are an advanced user it is precisely in this field specify the address of your router or udpxy on the server, for example http://192.168.1.1:81/udp/. And its usual, old nonpatched udpxy.
- IPTVV3_UDPXYNEW
"New (patched by Landgraph)
udpxy URL (by default http://127.0.0.1:82/udp/)
or external new (patched by Landgraph) udpxy URL e.g. http://192.168.1.1:82/udp/" - by default http://127.0.0.1:82/udp/ - points to new local (patched by Landgraph) udpxy, which by default local with the address http://127.0.0.1:82/udp/. If anything is not understood then do not touch, leave as is.
If you are an advanced user it is precisely in this field specify the address of your router or server with the patched udpxy, such as http://192.168.1.1:82/udp/. And his new patched version of Landgraph.
- IPTVV3_PARAZIT
"Parasite content into the
channels name (Remove excess).Separated by (|)" -
empty by default - the field containing the so-called
"spurious""parasitic" words from the name of the channel that
should be ignored. It is useful when you want download playlist
via http directly from the provider site. But in this case, if the
title (channel name) from the provider list are present nothing
meaning for the subsequent definition of a logo and a program
guide (Multimedia) (IPTV) (Promo) (Test), etc. These extra words,
can be listed in this field, separated by a vertical bar -> |.
That is, these unwanted words will be excluded from the name of
the channel that will later find the logo of a normal channel and
program guide for the channel.
- IPTVV3_PLAYLISTURL
"Playlist http:// URL or local
link (by default:empty)..Separated by (|)" - by
default empty - is a
link to the playlist. Do not touch this field if you do not
understand. If we are very willing to receive playlist via http
from the provider, in the case where the provider is suffering
from delusions of playlist changes every day, but it is compliant
playlist m3u, then in this field, you can place a http-link to a
playlist of your ISP (in this case you will naturally lose the
ability to manipulate the playlist but you get a fresh playlist
directly from your ISP). Can be several playlists separated by (|)
- IPTVV3_LIST
"list of compliance"
- by default /tmp/umsp-plugins/iptvv3/logo/list.txt - Leaf matching
channel names and special on which later sought a logo and program
schedule. Edit List of Compliance can be (and should) directly
from WebGUI by clicking on the list.txt. What was seen:
For example the line: СТС=>17 This means that if in your playlist is written the name of the СТС channel is just the way it is in Russian letters that plugin he finds a match, and will know special code 17 according to which will pump up both the logo and for right channel and the right program schedule for this channel. (Only Russian channels logo and programm guide supported now).
That is, Bring your list of conformity in the form of the type:
....
In the case when the channel from your provider and the local name you can not find it on the list.txt but you want a nice logo - you can register and url according the name of channel, example::
СТС=>17
STS=>17
......
......
with the logo on the screen will affect the local channel, but keep in mind that the program schedule for this channel will not be, it is only by the code.
TriolanTV=>http://triolan.tv/blabla/chnls/175.png
France 2=>http://www.lyngsat-logo.com/logo/tv/ff/france2.jpg
....
If the plugin could not find matching names in your playlist, channel name and code compliance in a sheet instead of the logo channel you will see the plugin logo
- IPTVV3_WDTVEXT
"Main Programm engine. Using
WDTVExt (search,eject key) for show TVProgram. Default(ON)."
- Use the engine to retrieve and display the program guide.
Schedule the use of engine WDTVExt (at the recommended 1.02.21) is
shown when you click "Eject" button on the WD remote. It is
recommended to keep this option ON as well as responsible for the
work program receiving a demon and purified from nagscreen.
- IPTVV3_INNAME
"Show TVProgram in channel name
and channel list (slow). For 1.05.04 F/W." -
Default(OFF) - Display of the program schedule in the name of the
channel and correspondingly in the playlist on the screen. For
versions based on 1.05.04 (which may not show the program guide so
quickly and beautifully because of the lack of support WDTVExt).
Slowly! Slowly at first time because the plugin gets the program
to all channels in the playlist (and not specifically selected)
and then displays the playlist. If a lot of channels - you can not
wait :). Because version 2.9 is done with a forced limitation -
activation of the item will be shown only the first twenty-channel
from the playlist. But because the list is almost visible on the
screen that now is, just send the next four will be visible after
the launch of the channel and pressing "Enter".
- IPTVV3_ZONE
"TVProgram Time Zone Delta.
Default (0)." - Default (0) - Delta for the time
zone. Normally the program schedule tries to determine your time
zone by IP address. If you determine it is true then the program
will correspond to the local time. If unable to determine your
time zone and time in the program shifted by one hour, two, etc.
indicate here the difference in hours - the program schedule
respectively will correct time in a program schedule.
- IPTVV3_AUTO
"Auto Switch to Thumbnail Mode."
- по умолчанию включен - Automatic switching the list of channels
in a preview mode for display the channel logos. If you are
confused by such automation and you got used to see simply the
list of channels - can switch off this option.
- IPTVV3_PLAYKEY
"Global key after #EXTINF:.. for
all channels. Default (NA)." - Global key, one
after the #EXTINF: written - that is, no matter what the key value
in the playlist - substitutes the value of this setting for all
positions in playlist. The default value is "NA" - not defined, ie
value is taken from the playlist. The rest is natural global 0,
-1,-1 mpeg2, -1 mpeg4, -2. What for is needed - read below.
Both keys for idlers which laziness hands to govern a playlist, or for idlers who pull a playlist directly from provider and besides without governing a playlist will substitute the necessary keys. Well or for lamer users - it will be simpler to tell them "put globally -1 key and its all".
- IPTVV3_ZOOM
"Global AutoZoom 1.2x for all
channels. Default(OFF)" - disabled by default -
Global Autozoom - that is, regardless of whether registered or not
the zoom key in the playlist - all channels will be completely
x1.2 zoom. Automatic increase of a picture is useful when you have
a widescreen TV (16:9) and the picture channel iptv standard
(4:3), but in the air like a widescreen movie. It turns out the
so-called "black box", black frame, while if the Zoom menu options
are x1.2 times more useful then you can use the TV screen and get
rid of black bars. Instead of a global autozoom all channels still
recommend to use a personal autozoom a specific channel. To
indicate that such a channel should automatic zoom in the playlist
in the description of the channel must be specified keyword zoom
into a service area - after #EXTINF:...
but before the decimal point (for which there is a
channel name), for example:
and only channels with word zoom was automatically zoomin x1,2.
#EXTINF:0 zoom,Channel Name
udp://@238.0.0.7:1234
- IPTVV3_ADDITIONAL
"Additional Content : 50+ channels from Internet. Default(ON)." -
Default(ON) - Additional content: Many channels broadcasted from
the Internet. Those Internet users and WD do not have iptv from
your provider can now try to join the edge of the eye to the iptv
"box" (or those who want to expand the list of channels). That is,
when you turn IPTVV3_ADDITIONAL item appears in the list for
nearly 40 additional channels. Channels from internet, from a
relatively open source, all must understand that the more people
will watch the more load to the broadcasting server, the quality
of the picture will be worse or won't reach at all. So as they say
who had one and ate it. The channel list, see the first message of
the topic at the forum.
For firmware based on 1.05.04-..-0.5.1.1 need additional install ffmpeg, rtmpdump (devtools.abb.bin from svn) No need any additional installs on recommended f/w 1.02.21-0.4.7.3 - all must work out of the box.
- IPTVV3_KLUBKEY
"Klubnika KEY for adult
additional channels." - Default is empty - Personal
key to activate the four strawberry channels for adults only. To
prevent accidental eye are blocked by default. Treat more donation to
author - prove your age ;) . Personal Key is bound similarly to
the serial number of the WD player (S/N).
- IPTVV3_FIX
"Fix for Thumbnail Mode in
version based on x.x.x-WDLXTV-0.4.x.x." - default
OFF - Fix for displaying the logo in the preview mode for the root
list UMSP plugins, as well as for cutting away from a list of
three extra plugins such as Shoutcast and etc. The default is
disabled, just in case because it is possible he could be
activated by you when using filmsonline.app.bin.
- IPTVV3_REMOVE
"Remove old IPTV v1 menu item
from UMSP menu. Need only once. Default(OFF)" - by
default switched off - Fix for the removal of the old item IPTV v1 from the list of available
UMSP plugins. Used only once if you have an old iptv v1 and you
have it replaced by a new iptv v3 but the inscription on the
screen of IPTV in the list of UMSP plugins not disappeared.
- IPTVV3_BUFSIZE
"Buffer size. Debug only.
Default(65535 or 196605)" - default 65535 - Item at
the request of the advanced users. The size of "buffer"
and more frames which gives the picture a proxy. For the key
-1 use 65535, for the key 0 - 196605. If not it is clear that
this is - it is better not to touch.
- IPTVV3_KEY
"Personal KEY for full
functionality" - default empty string - Personal
key to enable full-featured plugin-operation (Remove the
inscription "DEMO", show the program without a serial number).
Send the author by e-mail information about donating and the
serial number of the WDTV player (S/N is displayed in the program
guide or on the body of the player or the player settings menu), a
key must be entered in this field. Read more below.
More
information about configuring your playlist: In a playlist
so-called "duration of a track" now matters. Specifies after the
text #EXTINF:... Since the duration of the IPTV stream
as the track is not (is constantly flow) it is accepted to specify
that this value 0 or -1. For example #EXTINF:0 or #EXTINF:-1.
So what's
the difference between one and another entry in the plugin
IPTVv3..
If the source of streams http:// then:
#EXTINF:0 - starts channels directly as it is specified - the direct
link, more is suitable for links to static video files like .mkv, .avi etc.;
#EXTINF:-1 - starts http channels through local iptv-proxy (can be used by default for all channels);
#EXTINF:-1 mpeg2 - starts http channels coded in mpeg2 through
local patched Rushmore accelerated iptv-proxy (speedup mpeg2 channels start to play);
#EXTINF:-1 mpeg4 - starts http channels through
local iptv-proxy (used only for mpeg4/h264 channels - not speedup start);
#EXTINF:-2 - starts the old not accelerated option which was in the
first iptv (helps for playing of mpeg4/h264 of streams).
If you want to play the HD channel then check that the title (channel name) would be attended by two letters "HD"
If the source streams udp://@ then:
#EXTINF:0 - runs the shortest way through the udpxy patched by udpxy
Landgraph (accelerated by the launch of channels in mpeg2 and does
not work for the channels in mpeg4/h264);
#EXTINF:-1 - runs the
channels via local patched Rushmore iptv-proxy
and then through the old udpxy (suitable for all channels without
acceleration);
#EXTINF:-1 mpeg2 - runs the channels the same way but in a local patched Rushmore iptv-proxy
and then through the old udpxy (accelerated launch of channels in
mpeg2);
#EXTINF:-1 mpeg4 - runs the channels the same way
like #EXTINF:-1 but for mpeg4 streams via local patched Rushmore
iptv-proxy and then through the old udpxy (without acceleration);
#EXTINF:-2 - runs the old non-accelerated version, which was in the
first iptv (helps to play mpeg4/h264 streams but without
acceleration).
In any case, you can make a temporary playlist and mixed with 0 and -1 and -1 mpeg2 and -1 mpeg4 and -2, and with HD in the title and without. And choose the one, the only suitable option for you which will finally show the picture. Experiment ...
Usage: Remember the basic rules:
1) Start the channel for the play with button "Enter" on WDTV remote (not "Play").
2) Stop the display of the channel with button "Stop" (not "Back").
3) If you have firmware 1.02.21 - can show the program guide channel by pressing the button "Eject" on remote. If all the same on the basis firmware 1.05.04 you can choose to show the program directly into the playlist, either by options menu (look the nuances higher - in the settings).
4) To finish work with a plugin it is desirable (but not necessarily) having chosen the last item in the playlist named "Eject plugin". This action will switch off visual effects of IPTVv3 (the blacked-out screen according to Enter, nagscreen "DEMO" and other processes). And you will be not thrown in a shock by presence of the same effects in attempt to start the local films. But even for forgetful users the demon who for you will switch off effects of a plug-in but with reservations is made. Whether to the demon you not clearly finished use of a plug-in of IPTVv3. Whether you go on a playlist or left on the list of the local films is yet action, it is navigation, and here when you pressed on Enter and started the film (out of IPTVv3) then only the demon will understand that you left a plug-in. Therefore the effect will appear once but in a background the effect thanks to the demon will be disconnected. Then you it is simple stop cinema and restart - Everything effects of IPTV on your films any more won't be, there will be also a standard menu by an Enter and all the rest as on a standard. Again, if you are forced to choose "Eject plugin" then is not necessary to resort to services of the demon.
v3.08 Added subplugin for ottclub.in iptv ( ex i-ghost.net ).
Just register, copy/paste OTT acces key to IPTVV3_OTTCLUBKEY and watch iptv. Also can ganarate own playlist with better server speed.
v3.25 Added subplugin for zargacum.net iptv.
Its free now (24 oct 2014).
Just register, copy/paste client key to IPTVV3_ZARGACUMKEY and watch iptv. Also can generate own playlist with better server (US,EN,DE).
v4.55 IPTVSMP Added subplugin for edem.tv iptv.
Substitute zargacum plugin. Not free, but cheap - only 1$ per month (in 2018).
Just register, copy/paste client key to IPTVSMP_EDEMKEY and watch iptv.
Receiving: To try IPTVv3 in action it is possible for
everyone... The
main functional isn't cut down (stable speed of switching
exist, external links exist, HD support exist, logos exist, the
program schedule exist). If you have a strong nerves and a LCD or
plasma is not a pity you can use as is (with nagscreen "DEMO". If
you still have the desire to remove nagscreen "demo" - its
fixable ... you can send adequate gratitude donation for the work done by
author and your WD serial number WNV... (Show in the TVprog or
on the WDbody should be, or in WD settings-about on TV, or link "look here" in IPTV config page). I in reply give you a personal key -
"demo" is removed forever... Redownloading or reconfigure do not
need, all you have. But first - well check whether a plugin is needed
for you. You can always go back to my first IPTV (the same one that
was downloaded over 1,000 times and still amassed donations only
from five persons).

Extras: In addition to On-Line viewing of IPTV channels, you can watch movies and TV shows serials on the WD media player using other plug-ins at any time convenient for you.
Namely, the movie-serial ExMeFs plugin, and a set of plug-ins with the Filmsonline prefix. Would you like to watch TV series in good quality (even in the original language) such as American Gods,
Game of Thrones, etc. - try the plugin for WDTV Live player. General information about installation in the second message here or here - it is old but relevant information (with amendments to the fact that the list of plug-ins is changing).
Also at the moment, the version of the firmware version 1.05.04-WDLXTV-Live-0.5.2 is more suitable for movie-serial plug-ins since it supports https sources and better plays mp4 (there are no problems with smooth video and sound).
Try it.
Thanks: Thanks to developers Landgraph, Rushmore. Forum wdhd.ru from which everything began. Forum theme here or here.
And certainly to the grateful users who have estimated work!
Successful shows! :)
