How watch IPTV
Samsung B-series default don't support watch real-time streams from network, but SamyGO users find some ways to make it possible. Here all knowing way to watch IPTV:
xupnpd
Instruction available at SamyGO forum.
Supported protocols: http://, udp://.
YouTube widget - bookmark
This method is based at default Internet@TV (non Yahoo engine) widget. YouTube official allow watch only own videos, but it's possible to add external links. This way you can add own playlist with online streams.
You need replace/edit file:
/mtd_down/common/200000103/tvBookmark.xml
Probably only mms:// streams supported. Video formats supported: mp4, wmv, asf.
Using this method you can add streams only manual editing bookmark file, but it's possible to remove stream inside YouTube widget.
