VDR Streamdev Plugin

Hi Peter,

I assume you are talking about a streamdev-client with VDR-to-VDR streaming (i.e. using VTP protocol, not HTTP or IGMP streaming). Unfortunately VTP is not firewall friendly as the client opens a random port and tells the server to send the stream to this port. There are three possible solutions, however 2 and 3 require coding:

1. open all inbound TCP ports above 1024 for the IP of your server.
2. patch the client so choose a port from a specific range and open just that range for the IP of your server
3. as VTP is quite similar to FTP: adapt the linux kernel's ftp conntrack helper to VTP
