IPTV playlists

[Eugene]

This topic is invited to publish IPTV playlists (asx, pls, m3u, m3u8, url, xspf)

Common installation steps
1. Install VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org)
2. Unzip playlist archive.
3. Drag and drop playlist file from Explorer to main form of program.

If the loading is successful, then in folder "Internet-television" appear IPTV links. If IPTV links does not appear (Windows 7, Windows Vista), then the program and Explorer are running with different rights.

Your playlist is a good supplement of this excellent software. A test transcoding confirms that picture and sound are synchronous as long as I use VLC or Windows Media Player. If I play the file on my Philips TV via USB, sound is earlier than picture. This effect happens of course by WMS streaming.
Two assumptions: 1. When I paste the URL in my VLC, first there is the sound, seconds later the picture (but then synchronous). This can be validated on BBC/ITV streams (HQ). 2. VLC gives me these messages when playing the test transcoding:
"...
main debug: `J:\itv1.mpeg' successfully opened
ps warning: garbage at input, trying to resync...
ps warning: found sync code
ps debug: we found a length of: 101424000
...
main warning: decoder synchro warning: pts != current_date (-2673407565)
...
scaletempo warning: bad input or output format
scaletempo warning: input and output formats are not similar
main warning: no audio filter module matching "scaletempo" could be loaded
main debug: TIMER module_need() : 0.000 ms - Total 0.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 0.000 ms)
main debug: looking for audio filter module: 1 candidate
...
main warning: decoder synchro warning: pts != current_date (-1278579)
main warning: late picture skipped (110000 > -10)
main warning: output date isn't PTS date, requesting resampling (58378)
main warning: buffer is 58378 late, triggering upsampling
..."

I fear that there is no solution to this problem, isn't it?
Thanks.

In version 1.01 added transcoding profile "Music - VLC - FFMPEG", stream obtained VLC transcodes FFMPEG, you can try to make this for video.

Hm. I've tried to change the media resource type in that above-quoted transcoding profile to "movies". Then I'm able to select this profile in the category "Internet Television". Unfortunately the test transcoded file (*.mpeg) only contains the audio stream - there is no picture. I'm sure that I've forgotten some important settings. Could you please help me again?
Thanks in advance four your reply.

      TranscodingResult := WmsTranscodingExecute('WMSMPEG', sTranscodingParams, True)          
    end 
  end 
end.

Thanks for your quick response.
The test transcoding fails.
