IPTV on HG43BU800

Hello,

I am reaching out regarding the Samsung HG43BU800EE television, which I am using for a project requiring playback of IPTV multicast streams (UDP/RTP) via the webapis.avplay API on Tizen.

After several tests with the current firmware T-NKLBDEUC-1651.8:

  • The player works perfectly with HTTP/HLS streams,
  • However, it does not work with IPTV multicast streams (UDP),
  • And in the Engineer menu, the IPTV tuner does not appear, unlike other IPTV-compatible models.

Before proceeding further, could you confirm whether the HG43BU800EE model natively supports an IPTV player, and if a firmware update could enable this functionality?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Can you explain how you have implemented the hls url for iptv and which drm you are using

   I have used HTTP streams that work very well. The code I used is one I created for the H-Browser, and I only use it to have a list of multicast channels on the TV in case the middleware server fails. I have followed all the necessary modifications for the migration, and as I just mentioned, the HTTP stream works perfectly.

I noticed in the TV’s engineering menu under Option → MRT Option → Option Num that the TV has:

  • Num of DTV Decoder: 1
  • Num of HDMI: 3
  • Num of Display: 1
  • Num of Tuner: 1
  • Num of ATV: 1

There is nothing about IPTV, unlike in previous TV models. Could this be the reason why multicast UDP is not working? I’ll let you tell me.

Thanks in advance.
Valentin
