Plex DVR - where are the standards (SAT>IP)

Hi,

when I read about the DVR and live TV integration in Plex I was very excited about hat great idea! I’m using TVHeadend for my TV stuff and recording, great piece of software … but when on the road, it would be perfect to have all in the Plex infrastructure.

But then I saw the limiting on some proprietary products as a receiver device. Why did you ignore open standards, SAT>IP, which would make thousands of clients using satellite technology happy?

Any plans here?

VBR,
Marco

Marco,

It’s a beta. They’re testing on limited hardware to iron out the bugs. I’m sure support for more hardware and standards will come in time.

To add a little more weight, I also use SAT>IP to distribute HD Sattelite streams thrughout my household. Hope you guys put it on the list. Keep up the good work and innovation!

Hi,

there is multiple discussions going on here right now. See https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1254049#Comment_1254049 for example.

I agree that SAT->IP is probably the future for now and that a set up should support this, but also this would mean that Plex would need to actually implement all the tuning stuff, QAM, DiSEQ, etc … This could be done by already existing solutions like mentioned in the other threads.

@elan - once you guys are ready, we need special forum for the development related stuff I guess :slight_smile:

If mere Android Apps can handle this, I have full faith in Plex to do the same at some point :wink:
