This is used by HDHomeRun Setup and HDHomeRun Config (GUI) for previewing channels (both VLC and WMP are supported).
It is also possible to use the Open URL feature in WMP to directly play a specific channel. The URL must be in the following form:
Code: Select all
hdhomerun://<device id>-<tuner>/ch<physical channel>-<program number>
Code: Select all
hdhomerun://10001000-1/ch20-3
You can create a desktop shortcut to play a specific channel - set the shortcut to point to WMP and add the URL to the end as a parameter.
