How does the tvheadend client interact with omxplayer?
#1
I'm curious if the tvheadend client is using omxplayer? Specifically I'm wondering how omxplayer would handle the HTSP protocol. Could anyone point me in the right direction to where the source code is? I wasn't able to find anything raspberry Pi specific in the source code at https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts

omxplayer is just an acceleration method for dvdplayer. As long the codec is supported (you may need the MPEG-2 licence if the channel is MPEG-2) then whatever PVR add-on you are using will use omxplayer.

You can confirm with the codec overlay ("o" key). If the video codec is something like omx-h264 then you have omxplayer enabled. If it is like mmal-h264 then omxplayer is disabled and you are using mmal acceleration. If it is like ff-h264 then you are using software decode.
