howdy i have a sling box and i want a mate to be able to see the out put from across the web. I don't want him to be able to access the remote control & change stations. I just want to pretty much feed one channel to him.
Can you experts ole tell me if i am on the right track? I do know my way around setting koi & openelec units so i if i can do this i'd like to know which steps to take. Thanks .

Surely a breach of copyright?

I'm assuming you already have a working tvheadend server for your local Kodi box. You would need to set up a username in tvheadend, use channel tags so that the user can only see that one particular channel, then open up your network to the outside world (either by opening ports in your router for the tvheadend box (which is a serious security risk imho) or by setting up a VPN server), and make your friend connect to your server (with his local Kodi installation or another player). Do note that if your tuner doesn't support multiple channels, you can't watch another channel when he's watching.
Also this may be pretty much against your local legislation, commercial or non-commercial.

well no.... what i am trying to figure out is if ANY source can be viewed by Tvheadend or does it have to be a TV stream from an antenna signal via a capture card. Could someone run a DVD playing a loop over and over & have itrun thru the tvheadend server and have it available for viewing thru Tvheadend client on Kodi?

ffserver looks complicated.... i suppose non of this is easy, otherwise any & every one would be doing it. The quest continues.

i suppose my biggest stumbling block is 'how do i create' the stream strm file from the source device output.

You'll need a capture card to begin with. Do you have one?
