Connection model
MediaHub connects to IPTV services using the Xtream Codes API. In normal MediaHub the user supplies the server address, username and password.
A managed MediaHub build can receive the provider server address from MediaHub Management and hide that address from the normal login UI. The end user still enters the IPTV username and password in MediaHub.
Direct connection
MediaHub Management does not proxy the IPTV service. API calls, EPG requests and playback traffic go directly from the MediaHub device to the configured provider.
EPG
There is no separate EPG address in the Management panel. MediaHub uses the normal provider/Xtream data path for programme information.
Live TV features
Depending on the current app build and policy, Live TV includes category browsing, now/next information, TV Guide, favourites, recent channels and local timeshift controls.
