Need helt with sat>ip config.
To be blunt, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all this stuff.
I have been using tvheadend for a while running dvb-c hdhomerun and Kodi as a frontend, it works great!
Configuring dvb-c is super simple, configuring a dish seems to be rocketscience.
I feel like a monkey trying to figure out a ballpoint pen.
Please help.
My sat>ip is a Megasat Sat>IP Server 2. This one have four inputs.
I have two Sefsat H30D, Sat1 pointing to Thor 5/6 0.8°W and Sat2 pointing to Astra 4A 4.8°E.
Two cables to input 1-2 from Sat1 Thor 5/6 and two from Sat2 on port 3-4.
The intended use is Sat1 Canal Digital (CMORE) and Sat2 Viasat.
Megasat settings:
LNB Type Universal
Low 9750
High 10600
Positioner None
Tvheadend settings:
None, I wiped my settings after multiple tries and I cant figure it out.
Tvheadend 4.1-254~gd93afc9-dirty
Can also configure on Tvheadend 3.9.2709~g6b472cd
See attached file for DVB-Input list.
Every port have four inputs - how to configure all these?
How do I know other things work?
A friend came over with his Mac laptop and connected to my sat>ip box and started streaming using EyeTV.
I have a hdhomerun connected to a dvb-c provider and that works.
So, What's left is configuring sat>ip somehow... somehow.
Please help.

Rebooted the whole tvheadend server (ubuntu 14.04) and the first thing in the System Log is this:
2015-06-27 13:33:25.919 satip: Detected old Inverto firmware V1.13.0.105 and less
2015-06-27 13:33:25.919 satip: Upgrade to V1.16.0.120 -
http://http://www.inverto.tv/support/ - IDL400s
I dont have an Inverto device nor is there a new firmware for my sat>ip device... not supported and never will work - or just ignore this message?

Most of the Sat>IP servers available noware clones of the IDL 400s, your Megasat box for example looks almost exactly like this "triax"
Plus the fact that Tvheadend has detected the Inverto firmware makes me think yours is another clone too and from whats been said on IRC you can use inverto firmware on these clone boxes, however I recommend you contact someone in the know to be completely sure yours is a clone, either perexg on IRC or inverto themselves.
I recommend you try perexg's firmware available "here" (you can try it without it affecting your device, again from whats been said on IRC its even better than the original!

Hey dude, thanks for the reply!
Sadly I have no idea how to test what you linked to... I pulled a lifeline and emailed a friend, the one with the mac laptop. So if it's really complicated do not write an instruction here, I'm sure he can help me out. If it's really simple please do help :)
My dish's and tvheadend server (the 4.1 version) are not in any type of "production mode", I'm happy to test whatever to get it to work and I'm not afraid to break anything, as long it's not the hardware itself I can always rollback and start over.

If you can copy & rename files you can try the satip-axe firmware, read the installation part of https://github.com/perexg/satip-axe/tree/master/dist
Installation:
- setup a DHCP server for the box ethernet MAC address
- copy satip-axe-$(VERSION).usb as idl4k.scr (rename the file) to the USB stick
- copy satip-axe-$(VERSION).fw (no rename) to the USB stick
- both files should be in the root directory on the USB stick
- plug the USB stick to the upper USB port in box
- turn on the box
- the tuner LEDs must blink (Knight Rider effect) for few seconds
- box is accessible through telnet or ssh, IP address is obtained using DHCP
- the default login/password is root/satip
- the firmware is not written to the internal flash - when the USB stick
is not in the box, the original firmware will be booted
Fred Fred
Thanks! Still in trouble though...
Downloaded
satip-axe-201505242057-9.usb
satip-axe-201505242057-9.fw
Renamed satip-axe-201505242057-9.usb > idl4k.scr
Formated an usb stick with FAT32 and copied both files to the stick
Power off Megasat device, insert usb stick in the only usb port, powered on.
Still boot original fw, soft reboot trough web interface, still boot original fw.
Tried satip-axe-201504211434-8 files, same thing.
Tried another usb stick, same thing.
Tried formating usb stick w fat and not fat32, same thing.
The USB device lights up and if I in the original webgui select firmware update it says usb device connected so the device is attached but does not boot...
Anything more I can try?

Megasat device uses probably a different hardware. Could you create an issue in your tracker and attach a log for '--trace upnp,satip' ? Compile tvheadend with --enable-trace .
Fred Fred
Did a git pull, build and installed with the added --enable-trace info.
So now that should be good, the rest I really need help with.
I'm sorry, but I'm really at a loss here and I did start the whole post with "To be blunt, I'm a complete idiot" ;-)
Where is the tracker and how do I open an issue and attach a log, and where do I find the log (or create it) on my system.

The issue tracker is on this site, if you're signed in you'll see it on the top navigation bar (top of this page), the links you're after are "New Issue" (to post an issue) and "Issues" (to view current bug reports).

ahhaa, got it!
Now, how do I generate/find logfile to attach?
Dreamcat 4
run:
logfile=/tmp/tvh.log
your_other_tvheadend_args="??? PUT HERE ???"
# start tvheadend
tvheadend --trace upnp,satip --enable-trace $your_other_tvheadend_args > $logfile &
# follow the logfile being generated
tail -9999 -F $logfile
# quit tvhedend after you have got what you needed
killall -TERM tvheadend
Fred Fred
Been trying to figure this out but no luck.
Where do I find "your_other_tvheadend_args"?
If it have anything to do with how I build this is how I do it: AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=" --enable-trace --enable-hdhomerun_client --enable-avahi --enable-hdhomerun_static --enable-libffmpeg_static" ./Autobuild.sh -t precise-amd64
Also, in the webgui under configuration/debugging there are some settings, though they are not yet documented so no help available... but maybe that is a simpler way to get the logs for me? If yes, how?
Fred Fred
Dear all, turns out the Megasat Sat>IP Server 2 was faulty. Sent it back and got a Inverto IDL 400s, it's now running the custom satip-axe firmware listed above and everything is running so smooth! :)
Thank you all for taking the time.
