Dear All,
I have an Inverto iLNB 8 channel SAT>IP LNB with PoE Adapter ([[http://www.inverto.tv/products/product.php?id=264]]) which I would like to use with tvheadend on an Ubuntu 14.04LTS server and some clients, e.g. CuBox-i2eX ([[http://www.solid-run.com/products/cubox-i-mini-computer/cubox-i-specifications/]]) running openelec / kodi.
The iLNB is running, I can watch over PC with DVBViewer lite or iPad / elgato SAT>IP app.
I wanted to use Tvheadend for central recording on the server, but can't get it running (details below).
I was looking for a detailed tutorial getting the iLNB running under tvheadend, but it seems that I'm missing something.
Therefore I want to come up with a detailed one, same time asking for help. Any input from you will be added in this tutorial.
Thanks to:
https://tvheadend.org/d/2211-8-channel-sat-ip-lnb-very-successfully-installed-in-tvh
and others I copied.
My iLNB firmware version: V1.20.0.71 (I don't know if there is a newer one, found none)
1. Installation of tvheadend on ubuntu 14.04LTS
There are good guides on the internet:
https://tvheadend.org/d/1828-installing-tvheadend-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts-please-help
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Tvheadend
Be aware, you have to use tvheadendunstable!
For reference (on the server):
sudo apt-add-repository -r http://ppa.launchpad.net/adamsutton/tvheadend
sudo apt install curl
curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tvheadend
My current version: HTS Tvheadend 3.9.2780~gb609513~trusty
2. Configure Tvheadend
Access the Tvheadend webinterface via: server-ip:9981
and login with your username & pw, set while installation of Tvheadend on the server (you can reconfigure on the server with
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend@).
Select tab 'Configuration' (pictures will follow)
h2. 1st tab / General
I just set the default language.
h2. 3rd tab / DVB Inputs
h3. 2nd tab / Networks
Add a network:
- Add
- select DVB-S
- set name
- Skip Initial Scan: deselect
- set Orbital Position
=> create
h3. 1st tab / TV adapters
After some time Tvheadend shall recognize the iLNB, showing eith tuners with one position each.
Click on the IPLNB-03xxx:SAT>IP - network address, and set the Parameter to:
- Force pilot for DVB-S2: selected
For +each+ Tuner, you have to:
- Enabled: selected
- Initial Scan: selected
- Idle Scan
For +each+ position (1ea under each tuner), you have to:
- Enabled: selected
- set Networks (to the one just created)
The problem I now have is that no muxes are showing up.
What I did then:
tab Debugging
set Debug to syslog
On the server I get the following messages:
@May 8 20:20:51 media-server tvheadend[1151]: subscription: 0FE0: "scan" subscribing to mux "12551.5V", weight: 2, adapter: "SAT>IP DVB-S Tuner #1 (192.168.1.22)", network: "Astra19.2E", service: "Raw PID Subscription"

May 8 20:21:01 media-server tvheadend[1151]: subscription: 0FE0: "scan" unsubscribing
What am I doing wrong?
Thx for any help in advance.
Hope this will help also others setting up this nice piece of software & hardware!
Regards
