🚀 [RELEASE] VLCMaster: Remote your HDHomeRun with VLC
Hi everyone,

I’m excited to introduce VLCMaster, a utility script designed for HDHomeRun users who prefer the power and versatility of VLC Media Player for their TV viewing experience.

No more manual configurations or repetitive setups. VLCMaster bridges the gap between your tuner and VLC, making your local streaming seamless and fast.

✨ Key Features
Smart Detection: Fast connection to your HDHomeRun tuner via IP.

Playlist Management: Automatically imports and organizes your channel list.

Custom Buffering: User-defined delay settings to ensure stable playback from the start.

Persistent Settings 💾

I've implemented a local configuration file system. Your HDHOMERUN IP address, file paths, and delay preferences are now saved automatically, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you launch the app.

🛠️ Setup & Usage
Download the script or the exe :
https://github.com/Popov2026/VlcMaster

Enter your details during the initial setup.
(right clic to rename TV channels)
Run VLC with the rocket in full mode
VLCMaster generates your config and launches your stream instantly.



📝 Why VLCMaster?
If you find the native apps a bit restrictive or simply want to leverage VLC’s advanced post-processing filters and lightweight footprint without the hassle of copying/pasting stream URLs, this script is for you.

📥 Download & Feedback
Download Link:

Current Version: v1.1 (Stable)

Requirements: VLC Media Player installed.

I’m looking forward to your feedback! Please let me know if you encounter any bugs or have feature requests for future updates.

Enjoy!

Is this similar to the old QuickTV viewer that used to be bundled with the HDHR software? Is an internet connection needed?
