I have an HDHR-CC (3 channel). I have found OpenElec(4.9x)+RPi+tvheadend3.9+iptv (which I built from scratch)
works quite well. I had been trying to use the DVB drivers but ran into a myriad of issues,
mostly ending up "no input received"(I have an working/valid MPG2 license) before finding the
dlna/dms interface and iptv. I added a couple of muxes/channels/services manually
and the results are pretty good so far. It seems as if the RPi is not overtaxed with
this setup so I assume its either not decoding the stream or the hardware decoder
is offloading it.
I know the HDHR emits MPEG2-TS, (does that also apply to dlna/dms streams?)
a lot of the terminology/accronyms around
digital media/broadcasting appear unfathomable without a load of research.
Does the previous reply relating to HDHomeRun PLUS/EXTEND apply to the HDHR-CC (3 tuner)?.
Does the HDTC'c configuration page refer to the HDHR-webpage or Tvheadends?
I came across a page within tvheadend mentioning "matroska" but have no idea
how transcoding is setup (nor what matroska may be). Do I simply change the profile and
use the matroska container as described.
What does that achieve? an H264 output stream from tvheadend?. Would that
infer an MPG2 decoder somewhere? and if so is that x86 specific?. (ie: Does the same setup apply
to an arm (specifically RPi platform).
Is there a way of adding all channels (services, muxes...) from the hdhomeruns playlist/channellist
into tvheadend's configuration? or can tvheadend be configured to "scan" and add everything it finds?.
If thats a work in progress I'd be happy to build/test a variant. Can I drop an m3u(etc) file
into the directory tree manually?.
If I missed something with the original HDHR DVB driver setup and "no input received"
I'd appreciate feedback.
Great project, thanks for the IPTV/HdhomeRun implementation.
