It does just work on Jellyfin as an hdhomerun device.

Plex 1.26.0.5715
Just be aware that no media server is implementing the full HDHR interface. Some use part of the UDP interfaces while others only use the TCP interfaces. Each one does something different. I have determined that I was able to run the channel setup and it worked fine. Looks like the restrictions are still not in place. This is what I did...
- Clicked: SET UP PLEX DVR
- Clicked: Don't see your HDH...
- Entered http://192.168.1.xxx:6077/PlutoTV - Plex says "We found the hardware we recognize!"
- For the tuner, clicked SETUP DEVICE
- Says "Antenna", 305 channels, country: United States, Postal code is blank
- Clicked Have an XMLTV guide on your server
- Language is English, Guide is http://192.168.1.xxx:6077/PlutoTV/xmltv.xml, Guide Title is My Guide
- Clicked Continue
- 290 channels listed with associated EPG channels matched. Although not needed, tried rescan... it worked and again 290 channels matched.
- Clicked Continue
- Says "Downloading EPG data"
- After a bit, clicked VIEW GUIDE
- Some channels came up with "Unknown Airing", while others had guide data.
- Click on a channel and played. It worked fine no issues in Plex.

G Kazaroth: Im thinking my issue has to do with Cabernet not TVHeadend. In Cabernet settings > Channel Editor I don't see any channels even though in Providers I have PlutoTV and USTVGO enabled. There's something that's going over my head and can't figure out what I'm missing.

Also when I follow the guide the OP posted, in DVB Input > Networks I add Cabaret and clock on Force Scan put it just takes a split second and nothing changes, Muxes, Services, etc is all on 0.

G Kazaroth

Your config.ini file should be able to get the channel list, so we will need the log info to determine what is going on. If you turn on file log handler in the logging setting, it would start logging in cabernet/data/logs/

Restart the app and capture the log from startup. Take a look and the issue should be obvious why the plutotv plugin is getting disabled. Setting the log level to DEBUG will give more information.

Also, go to https://pluto.tv/ and see if you are in an area that plutotv supports.

OK so I got Plex to access the channels from PlutoTV, its loading the guide data at the moment. On Cabernet, when I go to Channel Editor now it shows USTVGO with the channels so we'll see if they show up on Plex. Now my other question is; is it possible to add VPN login info to be able to watch the channels that require VPN access? I have NordVPN. This is the the DEBUG log is showing:

I reviewed the logs.
- You ran startup twice, first time with USTVGO instance disabled
- PlutoTV had recently updated the channel list, so both times PlutoTV did not need to refresh the data or guide

- You are not running the app inside a VPN, so USTVGO does not recognize your NordVPN

VPNs are tunnels that use IPSec to communicate with a VPN server on the internet. The app assumes you are running the VPN at the OS layer or higher (like the router), so you do not need to enter any data in Cabernet. As an example, if you are running Cabernet on a Linux server, then download NordVPN for Linux, install it and verify that you can access the VPN channels from a browser running on the OS at ustvgo.tv (and not having the NordVPN as a plugin in the browser). Once you have setup the VPN, Cabernet should get a different status from USTVGO indicating that the channel is available. I have not tested NordVPN, but the best info I have is that should work.

I actually have a docker container running through a VPN so I will try to do the same setup on Cabernet and I'll give you an update with my results.

This value causes TVH to use that number times 2 for the number of streams since it does not terminate the stream until after the next stream starts. The second value is Network Maximum timeout. This is the time TVH will use for each channel scan. It is not the maximum, but rather the actual value used. So if you have the input stream set to 5 and the timeout set to 30, then it will use at least 10 tuners in Cabernet and will timeout most channels after 30 seconds. If not all the M3U URLs are not working, then Cabernet may end up going through a timeout when may take even longer. Normally we recommend using a small number for the number of inputs like 2 to do a Force Scan. The timeout should be based on how long it takes for the stream to initialize (which can be different for each provider.) Note, Cabernet uses 3 processes by default, so it looks like you have TVH set to a big number of input streams with Cabernet set to around 12.

This is due to the number of streams TVH will have opened at one time. You could have TVH set to 2 and Cabernet set to 10. Cabernet would still probably only use 4 or 5 max.

Yeah not sure, I mean I have my tvheadend set at max input streams 2.
Cabernet tuner count I have at about 20 or so but at the moment I've just made it a ridiculously high number only because otherwise tvheadend would suck up all the tuners.. there seems to be something not working right I think.. Any more ideas?

G Kazaroth

Since you have the streams set to 2, then we should assume the quality of the m3u file may not be great. What is the Network Maximum timeout in TVH? There is a known case where the m3u provided URL causes a timeout in Cabernet when the connection works, but no stream is provided. In this case, TVH will normally timeout and start a new connection while the old connection in Cabernet is waiting on a timeout. The timeout can be from 60-90 seconds. So, if you have the TVH timeout set to a low number, the number of connections in Cabernet could get high waiting for timeouts. Try setting the TVH timeout to 30 to see if the number of processes is reduced. I will do some testing on my side.

Once TVH has determined which channels are good, it should not hit the bad ones except on rescans.

Hey matey,

Hmm so my network maximum timeout was set to 15. I've set it to 30 now to see how we go. I've attached a gif to show that even a large amount of tuners in cabernet it says they are all active but they really aren't.
I'm finding when it does a rescan after say 100 or so the channels start to be marked as failed meaning they disappear from the guide. I have to manually go in and have those certain channels scanned again as they are not scanned again.

G Kazaroth

write an issue at
https://github.com/cabernetwork/cabernet/issues so we can work the issue.

I was able to install Cabernet on my server through Docker, running through NordVPN. After going to Data Management on Cabernet settings and Reset Channel Data it was able to get the channels that require VPN. Thanks so much for the help!

For those wondering how I got it done I followed most of the steps on this page except I replaces JDownloader for the Cabernet docker container https://github.com/guisua/jdownloader-vpn-docker-synology

Step 1: Install this NordLynx Docker container (I use NordVPN so it worked for me, not sure about how to do it with other VPN providers). https://github.com/bubuntux/nordlynx

Step 2: I am using Portainer to do this on a Synology DS218+ because the Synology Docker UI sucks. I made this stack so NordLynx and Cabernet run at the same time. Follow the directions on https://github.com/bubuntux/nordlynx to get it running on your machine:

    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/cabernet:/app
    depends_on:
      - nordlynx
    restart: always

Step 3: Go into Cabernet Settings > Data MGNT

In Reset Channel Data choose USTVGO on the drop down menu to the right. Then click on Reset next to Reset Channel Data. After that it'll show the channels that require VPN.

Step 4: If you use Plex, go to Plex Settings > Live TV & DVR and Refresh the channel guide.

That's all. Enjoy.

UPDATE : I realized that not long ago the nordvpn container stopped working and they recommend using https://github.com/bubuntux/nordlynx. I updated the instructions. Now I have Cabernet working great and Plex is able to access Cabernet channels smoothly. Thanks for the help! Hope this helps others.

G Kazaroth

Early on, USTVGO provided a post-VPN interface which indicated that Cabernet was able to get the premium channels and were not DRM. Not sure what is happening in your case, but would be very interested, if you want to enter an issue with cabernet. The Cabernet log should have info that will indicate why it was unable to connect to the stream.

I realized my issue is not Cabernet, the issue I'm having is with the VPN container having connection issues. From what I read seems like the nordvpn container stopped working not long ago and they recommend using https://github.com/bubuntux/nordlynx instead. I am working on it at the moment, once I figure it out ill post an update. At least I know that Cabernet does work with a vpn and shows the channels that require VPN so once I get the VPN container running Cabernet and Plex should have no issue.

R W

Ok I got Cabernet working with NordLynx VPN container and now Plex is able to play USTVGO channels that require VPN! I updated the instructions on my previous post.

I think much of what is available is not for the Windows exe version, which is what I am trying to run on Windows 10 64 bit

I can get to the web interface but not seeing much in the way of what I read.

I created a config.ini that is at C:\Program Files\cabernet\data\config.ini but not even sure if that is necessary on the Windows version.

My pluto TV M3u file at http://ipaddress:6077/pLuToTv/channels.m3u has only the single line header, no channels

The channel editor has no tabs.

Not sure where to go with this. I think my issues are specific to the Windows version, and its configuration

Mark

G Kazaroth

Hi Mark,
The installer for windows installs a config.ini file at the top Cabernet folder during install. If you also added a config.ini in the data folder, you would have two config files, of which, only one would be used. You can use either location, but you probably need to get rid of one of them. Cabernet looks in the install folder and the data folder for the config.ini and then uses the first one found. It would report the location found in the log at the INFO level.

Mark de Leon

Thank you

I am now getting Pluto playlist. First test with a pluto stream this way shows the same problem I have everywhere else with Pluto streams freezing and stuttering. Seems Pluto is hacking in low res commercials changing resolution mid stream and all. I guess they are rocket surgeons there.

Do I have to modify the config.ini file for Xumo?

Not sure where that file is, looking but do not see it in c:\Program Files\cabernet. I see a example config file at c:\Program Files\cabernet\lib\tvheadend\example_config.ini

Much confused about it all but if it is the same result that I have with other methods of PutoTV where all the streams freeze when they hack in a commercial , then Pluto is not useful to me and only Xumo interests me.

So what do I need for Xumo? It is activated in the tabs . I assume that http://IPADDRESS/channels.m3u would show ALL channels, including xumo if they were coming through, but no such luck.

thanks

Mark

Cabernet has the ability to cleanup streams, but you kinda need to know what the issue is. For PlutoTV, the issue is the provider does not care about the ATSC steam timestamps, so timestamps during ads are not consistent with timestamps during shows. Also, timestamps for the next show do not flow from the previous show causing more disconnects. To fix this, check "Enable PTS/DTS Resync". This causes Cabernet to rewrite the timestamps in the stream. You can also "Enable URL Filtering". This has good and bad sides. The good part is ads are removed. The bad side is when playing live and not recorded, the show will stop playing during the ads. Those that record most shows like the filter while those that like to watch live do not.

For XUMO, you would need to add the instance to the config.ini to enable the instance, just like you did with PlutoTV. Once the instance is added, the configuration can be controlled in the web page.

The example_config.ini is an example of a config.ini file.

http://IP:6077/channels.m3u will produce the m3u file for all channels Cabernet knows in m3u format.

XUMO is a pseudo on-demand stream. Some channels are live, but many are not. If you play the on demand ones, it will start playing from the start of the movie even if you are half way through the time slot. Due to this being a VOD type stream, the timestamps are not consistent between movies, so the recommendation is to set the "Enable PTS/DTS Resync" to true. You can also adjust the start time and end time in seconds (EPG section) to get the recording to start perfectly at the start of the movie and end at the end of the movie. This EPG start and stop time adjustment is available for PlutoTV as well.

Mark de Leon

I did finally find "enable PTS/DTS Resync" in the Pluto TV instance menu options in "advanced" mode. I checked it and will see what happens.

Now if you recall, I made an ini file and it was not necessary on Windows you later informed me. Additionally I can not find anywhere the referenced config.ini file for cabernet. I would need to know the default (Windows X86_64) path to that file for the exe version. I am also completely in the dark in how or what needs. I can see on the github page what it needs for Pluto TV but no example for xumo. It seems it probably needs a standard name whether Xumo or xumotv ? I do see the config_example.ini at c:\Program Files\cabernet\lib\tvheadend but there is no config.ini at the location where the example is, so I would not assume that is where it goes. There is also no xumo example in that config file. I would imagine a config.ini already exists somewhere, because PlutoTV is working.

All of this is without touching on the subject of HDHomerun integration which looks like is available. To be honest I am quite perplexed with all of this.

I have also come to find out I can not access it fro the LAN only on Localhost. Looking for settings that control access to port 6077 .

UPDATE>>>>>>>>>>>>

Just changed the Bind address from 0.0.0.0 to the actual computer IP address in the GUI near where it showed port 6077, now I can no longer even access it on localhost.

So now I have completely lost it . I know the GUI says you can edit the config files but have no idea where config files are located as mentioned earlier.

--update to the update....

Settings apparently survived an uninstall and reinstall because even removing and reinstalling does not bring it back, it's GONE.

--end update to update....

END UPDATE >>>>>>>>>

Is there really absolutely no documentation that covers these topics? It seems the Windows version is such a different beast it should have its own area of documentation.

I would prefer to run this on the Pi (raspbian stretch) but I have a seemingly insurmountable Python dependency problem (with rust 1.41.0 where I have only 1.24.1

Docker seems like its bloaty to run on my old Pi3 and has its own learning curve, let alone the curve for Cabernet.

I appreciate your replies, thanks

Mark
