Does DVBLink channel work on ATV3 via PlexConnect?

I have PMS on my Synology NAS (DS1512+) working great, but am thinking of purchasing a ATV3 and setting PMS up with DVBlink for my OTA/LIVE TV watching and recording needs - as they have a DVBLink channel plugin for PMS.

 

Because of this I of course am unable to test this setup since I'm only thinking of doing this, but am very interested to know if anyone already has Plexconnect working on ATV3 with DVBLink channel working?

 

Thanks.

I have tried the proposed configuration running a QNAP TS-870 with DVBLink server (5.0.0) and PMS (0.9.8.18.2) with the DVBLink channel plugin and a ATV3. The problem being experienced is that I cannot watch the DVBlink live TV channel on the following devices:

  • ATV3
  • AccessingPMS via a webpage
  • Ipad (3rd generation)
  • Iphone 5

Although it works on my Imac and Mac mini running Plex Home Theater perfectly. I can also view the DVBLink live video streams on my Ipad and Iphone using the DVBlInk app and Medai8 player. What I can gather from the user forums is that it is still a problem regarding the the live video stream in the DVBlink Channel and it has to do with the fact that the DVBlink plugin doesn't send through the transcoding flag to the DVBlink server in order to receive the correct transcoded stream required by the viewing client.

At this stage I cannot gather if there is a possibe fix or solution and would thius recommend that your hold back on the proposed configuration or use a Mac mini for your viewing client running Plex Home Theater until this issue has been sorted out.
