tvheadendWebplayer

Disclaimer: Abadoned project. Not maintained. Not used. At least not by me.

A webplayer app for tvheadend.

A little fun project to learn new technologies like node.js.

What it does:

It offers a nicer tvheadend webinterface, for just watching TV.

The Webinterface tvheadend offers just has support for VLC plugin and "zapping" is a pain with it. It was made to admin tvheadend. This is made, to use tvheadend.

What external libraries/tools are needed?

• crtmpserver
• avconv
• node.js / npm
• bower
• flash plugin (maybe I'll switch to real Apple HLS)

The webapp is served by node.js server. Also the avconv process is controlled by this instance.

I use bower for managing client-side libs like jquery, nanoscroller etc Just type bower install in project root.

How to start this thing?

• git clone git@github.com:mablae/tvheadendWebplayer.git
• cd tvheadendWebplayer
• npm install
• bower install
• node app.js

Open http://127.0.0.1:4000/ in webbrowser.

TODO:

• Make a config file or config in webinterface or both
  • IP-Adress of tvheadend
  • Port of tvheadend
  • Port to run this on
  • Make the streaming settings configurable
• EPG (what is running on channel)
• Highlight current tuned channel
• Shutdown the stream (maybe on window.close() event ?)
