I'm considering spinning up a xteve instance to add IPTV to my server, and have some VERY high level questions. While I may purchase a subscription, my main goal is to implement a workaround I've seen where I can get RSTP fed into xteve and made accesible via the plex app.

I'm looking to do that RSTP work around for two reasons:

  1. It would be fun to add access to some camera feeds (fish, bird feeders, etc) for some people who use my plex.
  2. I occasionally put up broadcasts via owncast. Half the people that would like to see those broadcasts are capable of using plex, but stumble around with VLC (and them being able to use plex is a minor miracle in the first place).

So I'm confused about how a few scenarios would be handled:

  1. Owncast broadcasting a channel on plex via xteve, with ZERO other available channels. How are multiple simultaneous viewers handled (as in, whats the experience like on their end)?
  2. Owncast broadcast as a channel on plex via xteve WITH additional channels available through an IPTV provider. If one user puts on the owncast broadcast, and the other puts on some other channel, does it switch for both of them? Boot one out?

Thanks for any input. I'm not really at the point of trying to technically implement, just looking to generally understand how all this funnels.
