Stream live TV to any iPhone. AVC Streamer is a lightweight video streaming server allowing you to create your own personal broadcast.

Use one interface to stream, record, and manage your digital media, and live TV, all via a remote interface. Seamlessly switch between streaming live and stored content to multiple networked displays.

AVC Streamer can be used to stream H.264 videos in your home, business, or across the internet. Video and audio is encapsulated within a standard MPEG-2 Transport stream, just like TV from your cable or satellite provider.

AVC Streamer automatically generates thumbnails of the first 30 seconds of each video clip to allow you to easily select which videos to stream. Each directory in your media library can be automatically treated like a playlist and sorted by file name, date, size.

Setup your own internet streaming server
AVC Streamer can be used for streaming video locally within your LAN or to create your own broadcast via the internet. Its easy to setup your own home IPTV streaming server.
1. If your internet service provider does not give you a static IP address, configure dynamic DNS on your cable modem. www.dyndns.com is a good means to ensure your home server can be reached via the same domain name even if your service provider periodically updates your dynamic IP address.
2. Modify the AVC Streamer configuration line avcliveport and set it to a TCP port other than the default AVC Streamer web page port (8080). For eg. use 55004. This will ensure that the AVC Streamer UI will not be available via the internet.
3. Modify the AVC Streamer configuration line avclivepassword and set it to a password of your choice.
4. Open a TCP port on your cable modem to allow external connections to the configured avcliveport
5. You will now be able to view your IPTV broadcast from anywhere. You can use a client such as VLC to view your live broadcast by using the URL: [your domain name]:55004/avclive?pass=[your password]
6. To view your broadcast from a mobile device compatible with HTTP Live Streaming use the URL: [your domain name]:55004/httplive?pass=[your password]
