IPTV with OpenWRT and udpxy

[supportKeymaster]

All settings will be performed from the console,. Assuming that you are connected to the router via ssh under the root.

First install udpxy:
opkg update
opkg install udpxy

After a successful installation, verify that the udpxy is started:
/usr/bin/udpxy

This command displays the version of the udpxy and its basic options.

Proceed to configure itself. In the folder /etc/init.d, create the file udpxy:
cd /etc/init.d
vi udpxy

This file is the startup script udpxy. Learn more about the starting scripts OpenWrt can be found here.
The contents of our file would be similar to the following:

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
# Copyright (C) 2010 OpenWrt.org

START=99
STOP=10

IGMP_OPTS=”-a br-lan -m eth1 -p 8888 -M 600″
IGMP_BIN=”/usr/bin/udpxy”
PID_F=”/var/run/udpxy.pid”

start() {
echo “Starting udpxy”
start-stop-daemon -S -x $IGMP_BIN -p $PID_F -b -m — $IGMP_OPTS
}

stop() {
echo “Stopping udpxy”
start-stop-daemon -K -x $IGMP_BIN -q
}

To start the service using start-stop-daemon-control utility to start and stop system services. In IGMP_BIN, specify what and where to start, PID_F is where to write the PID that would later follow him could follow, theIGMP_OPTS is set up to run the service.

Before you specify settings, I advise you to try running udpxy with these settings, and then move them to theconfig, it will help you avoid becoming a victim of typographical errors, and may save a little time.

Once all settings have been completed, close the file udpxy and run the service team

/etc/init.d/udpxy start

Check whether udpxy is started with the command

ps |grep udpxy

If you see only one line in, go back to settings and check that you did not. If everything is correct, you should get something like

1637 root 804 S /usr/bin/udpxy -a br-lan -m eth1 -p 8888 -M 600
29984 root 1372 S grep udpxy

You can also open the http://192.168.1.1:8888/status page in the browser to test that udpxy works.
Now you can add our Starter script to the startup. To do this, just run the command:

/etc/init.d/udpxy enable

After that you should see the/ etc/rc.d directory symbolic link type S99udpxy. Check whether the script has been added to the startup, you can also command

/etc/init.d/udpxy enabled && echo «enabled»

If everything is OK you will receive in response enabled.

It left behind small-create rules for udp traffic:

config rule
option src wan
option proto igmp
option target ACCEPT
config rule
option src wan
option proto udp
option dest_ip 224.0.0.0/4
option target ACCEPT

These rules must be added to the/etc/config/firewall, and then restart the service by using the command:

/etc/init.d/firewall restart

You can also reload the router itself that would make sure that all necessary services are started, all working exactly as we intended.
Now we take the list of channels through an Internet service provider, and all links change as described in themanual to udpxy:

http://{address}:{port}/{protocol}/{channel_addr}:{channel_port}

that is, if you have indicated in the channel list
rtp://@ 111.22.33.44: 1234
the output should be

http://192.168.1.1:8888/udp/111.22.33.44:1234

Then open the channel list in whatever player and enjoy.
