Hi, I'm using vlc with my hdhomerun TV tuner, but vlc has a problem that hasn't been fixed for a really long time. Does anyone have a recommendation for a similar app I can use for streaming?
I'm really only otherwise familiar with mplayer, but I don't think it supports streaming in this way where I can connect it to a socket like I can with vlc.
btw, the vlc error involves messages like these:
[00007fb3a4001130] ts demux error: libdvbpsi error (PSI decoder): TS discontinuity (received 10, expected 9) for PID 112
Thanks, Alex
Hi Alex,
I could ot stand all the bugs in vlc so I switched to SMPlayer. I stream music all the time.
Here is my keeper on SMPlayer:
