PeerTV

PeerTV is a software allowing the reception of the WebTV and the chains of Télévision diffused on Internet. It exclusively rests on technologies Open Source (Perl, PeerCast, VLC) in order to be present in the long term on all the platforms. Its interface is voluntarily purified to allow a catch in easy hand, and to keep with the customer his lightness.

Versions

There exists in several versions, according to the operating systems:

  • PeerTV Classic: free version Windows (financed by publicity), in Perl/Win32-GUI.

  • PeerTV More: paying Windows version (on subscription), in Perl/Win32-GUI.
  • PeerTV Linux: version Linux, in Wx-GTK.
  • It should be noted that there was a version Multiplateformes (Windows/Linux) in Perl Tk (obsolete). It is the only version available for the following languages: English, Spaniard, Catalan.

Technique

For a compatibility with the maximum of formats, it takes on board two readers multi-media: VLC (principal reader) and MPlayer (for the chains in VP6).

The list of the chains of PeerTV comes from the Peeramid database, maintained in a Community way (administrators of PeerTV, users). Club-footed Peeranha also contributes to ensure a constant quality the list (daily test of the chains, scan of new flows on Internet.)

Also provided with PeerTV, Peercast, which allows the reception of flows diffused in P2P (in particular in Ogg Theora). The Peerogue tool allows the easy diffusion of videos towards PeerTV in P2P.

To find a chain quickly, PeerTV proposes a system of filters, and fast research per name. The user can draw up his list of favorites, but also consult Signal 20 of the users, as well as the list of chains advised by the site.
