I really don't understand why tvheadend is trying to descramble channels that I usually don't descramble using the combination "tvheadend+VLC"

Is tvheadend able to descramble channels in "SAT>IP Server" scenario?

EDIT: I saw right now that under the satip server configuration, there is "Descramble services (limit per mux):1" Does it matter with the errors?

Matej Munih

I amstill not able to run the SAT>IP server on554 port.

Furthermore,Elgato Sat>ip app is showing me an error "autoscan error:1" when I am trying to scan for channels.

AlsoProgTV app is making tvheadend to make "connection refused" errors and I cannot scan for channels.

How can I make the SAT>IP SERVER working????

Did you try quitting any anti-virus and/or monitoring programs you might have running? What about turning off the firewall?

Only root can open connections on ports below 1000. As you've previously stated, you're running as hts, not root. Run as root, or point your Sat>IP clients to 9983 instead of 554.

That's not possible (for me) on a Panasonic client.

Then run your Tvheadend install as root, so you can use lower port numbers. You should also be able to pass "-u" option to Tvheadend so that it will drop to a lower privileged user, but allowing the initial port binding to occur still.

When TVHeadend is installed from package installer with all permissions correct
and started by System not by command line all work perfect port 554 is OK.
Dirty configuration is not good.

any update in the project i have my own project sat > ip and i have some issues

Starting from System does work indeed. TVH streamed DVB-T stick to DVB-IP client on the TV, with no apparent problems.

Hello all. I have been unsuccessful in getting a working RTSP stream out of TVHeadend. Can someone tell me the proper formatting of the URL. Secondly, I should be able to verify the RTSP Stream in VLC? Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure that Tvheadend has a full RTSP server. It does supportsome RTSP functionality, but that is a side-effect of it being a Sat>IP server/client, which uses parts of RTSP for its own implementation.

Ok. Thanks for the response. Makes sense :-)
