DVB-NIP
DVB Native IP (NIP for short) is a software standard released by the DVB Group based on existing DVB standards. It broadcasts streams that would normally come through broadband, but instead is delivered over the air (OTA) and accessible using an NIP STB with WiFi connection.
What is DVB-NIP?
The DVB-NIP specification marks a significant milestone in media distribution, promising future benefits in personalization, accessibility, and flexible content delivery.

Service Discovery
Update/replace open-source components with existing DTVkit components (DSM-CC for MPE based streams)
Implement GSE de-encapsulation with PoC DVB-I and DASH clients
Replace 3rd party components (MABR) with DTVkit implementations
DVBCore NIP:
DVBCore has been extended to support service discovery for both MPE and GSE
Files are automatically cleaned from the cached a given capacity/age
