Multicasttv playlist editor

Multicasttv playlist editor is a software application which provides users with a simple means of creating and organizing TV playlists, by scanning the Local Area Network for multicast IPTV transmissions.

The conveniences of a portable app

You are not required to go through the installation process, as this product is portable. As a result, unlike installers, the Windows registry and hard drive are not going to be updated without your approval and it is not going to leave any kind go traces behind after its removal from the disk.
Most importantly, you can use Multicasttv playlist editor on the fly, on any PC you are granted access to, by simply placing the program files to an external data device, such as a USB thumb drive.

Structured GUI

The GUI you come face to face with encompasses a well-organized and clean build, as it consists of a tree view, a pane in which to view detected items and a few buttons and boxes. IT becomes quite clear that all user categories can find their way around it, including those with little or no previous experience with the IT world.

Settings you can configure and managing results

In order to start the aforementioned scan you are required to input the start and stop multicast IP addresses, NIC (Network Interface Controller) and port in the appropriate boxes, and simply click the “Scan” button.
Aside from that, you can also wait for SDT and adjust the wait timeout (expressed in milliseconds). You can stop the process at any point, yet you should know that your progress will not be remembered.
Results are going to be displayed in the main window along with IP, channel, name, group audio and ID, while you can organize them in groups and play them with a minimal amount of effort.

Bottom line

To conclude, Multicasttv playlist editor is a pretty efficient piece of software, which runs smooth without hampering the system’s performance even during the scanning process, and without popping up errors, crashing or hanging. The interface is suitable to all users and all tasks are performed in a pretty timely manner.
