Mpeg transport stream as input to tvheadend sat-ip server and play that stream via sat-ip protocol

Evgenii Metelev

Hello everyone! Trying to make this scenario: run the tvheadend with option --tsfile test.ts In test file we have mix of streams(channels) from Astra satellite. Tvheadend is set up as sat-ip server. From "services/channels" tab he sees channels from ts file. In networks settings "SAT>IP source number" set to 1. So i want to get from the output stream of some channels played by either of vlc, sat-ip player or else. In logs i see

[WARNING] satips: SAT>IP server announces an empty tuner list to a client 172.31.14.139 (missing tuner settings - global config)

I do request from vlc and sat-ip player

rtsp://172.31.14.154:554/?src=1&freq=12604&msys=dvbs&plts=off&fec=56&pol=h&ro=0.35&sr=22000&mtype=qpsk&pids=0

But in logs see

405 Error

And

"[WARNING] satips: 0/C6F7315E/7: unable to create mux DVB-S freq 12604000 H sym 22000000 fec 5/6 mod QPSK roff 35 is_id -1 pls_mode ROOT pls_code 0"

The question is is it possible such a scenario? What am i doing wrong? How to play stream from sat-ip tvheadend server?
tvheadend: version 4.2.1-7~g4d4bf14

You need to define the number of "tuners" to export in the SAT->IP server tab.

But if i do not have them installed in the machine? I just need to set them arbitrary?

Set in global settings "Exported tuners" everyone tuners to 1, try to play again and get this:

Any ideas?

You may want to open a bug.

You do know you can pass a complete mpegts as an IPTV stream right? Just use file:///path/to/file.ts as the URL :p

Tried to execute server without option --tsfile. Instead created mux with file:///test.ts as input iptv network. Tvheadend saw all services from ts file. But when try to play single service with vlc by

rtsp://172.31.14.154:554/?src=1&freq=12604&msys=dvbs&plts=off&fec=56&pol=h&ro=0.35&sr=22000&mtype=qpsk&pids=0

get the following:

"2017-04-29 16:23:53.943 [ INFO] iptv: iptvnet bandwidth limited exceeded" turn off the bandwidth limiting :p

Ok, http now works fine, but what about rtsp sat-ip? It is the same situation.

Please open an issue for this, I'm not 100% that ts files or IPTV networks can be served over SAT>IP.
