Suggestions required regarding Network Encoders / Network Streams

Im trying to feed some URLs to playback on Sage as channels (live HTTP streams) via a network encoder. What do you guys think it would be the best way to feed SageTV with the streams?? Ive seen the webfeeder encoder and it uses VLC to transcode, so not sure if that would be the best way. Streams would different resolutions/bitrates. Suggestions??


(Sorry to have posted here but I couldnt find any developers help subforum)

So is this an HTTP stream that is always available? Would you be able to create or source guide data for what is on at a given time? If so, then the network encoder interface may be your best bet. Do use it, you'll have to creat e a program to talk with sage, and sage will tell it when to start recording, and where to write the file, and also when to stop recording. Your program would need to launch something that could grab the feed and write it to a file (this is essentially what the webfeedencoder does, using VLC). You could use ffmpeg to do the writing. I'm not sure there'd be a valid reason to not use the webfeedencoder for this, as this is pretty much exactly what it was made to do.

I would taken care of the guide part via SageTV API plugin (using the same DVBE4Sage EPG Backend plugin i created) to populate.. So far ive tried webfeedencoder however the links I tested seems to be skipping/not playing smooth on the extenders, might be something realted that they are HTTP Live streams that are like "chunks" of videos on a m3au playlist.

My idea is to create a network encoder for a IPTV service. These services on some channels they require to first generate the stream url for that specific channel + user, and that would pass as a channel. Plus channels are dynamic (they are adding channel often), so webfeedencoder wouldnt fit that much. So far Ive created a C# app that lists the live channels, and I generate the streaming url correctly and I can playback them correctly on latest VLC app, now I need to figure out the part on how to pass the stream to Sage.
