DaddyLive, PlutoTV, XUMO, M3U/XMLTV, SamsungTV, Plex, TVGuide interfaces (appliance)

I have no idea why you would need to do this, since the scheduler can schedule a task to run when you want; however, the scheduler page for Refresh PlutoTV EPG says the url to run the task is

http://ip address:6077/api/schedulehtml?task=taskoid&run=1

where taskoid is the object identifier for the task. An example is A4A0D725-1B5D-11EC-A721-EB2BD4BF4F6F

0.9.14.00-RC06
Looks like this version will be a good test for those wanting to try it. Here are some major updates you will see.
- The logging is going to be pretty high for now as we go through testing
- It now has parallel processing of video packets. Normal clients use a single synchronous thread to get the video packets in order, but Cabernet will now have multiple downloads at one time then reassemble the packets in the correct order. It makes a huge difference when the provider (like daddylive) is slow or has timeouts. An issue with this type of processing is it uses more memory. Could use a temp database to keep the memory lower, but for now it will use memory
- Added HTTP and STREAM config settings in each of the plugins for setting timeouts, retries and downloads

- Fixed an issue with TVGuide EPG where it was not updating the EPG

Make sure to upgrade Cabernet and the plugins as well as installing httpx[http2]

If you find something broken, go ahead and report it.

For those interested in the log:
- COUNTER: Number of video packets that have been requested from the provider
- PROCESSED: Number of video packets that have been downloaded and sent to client
- PROCESSED_Q: Number of video packets that have been downloaded and not sent to client. If greater than 1 or 2, it is waiting on the next packet, which has been delayed
- QUEUE: Number of packet sent by the provider that has not been received for processing
If timeouts start occurring, Cabernet will handle this and packets are normally not dropped, but the PROCESSED_Q will start to grow, taking up memory. Once the slow packets are received, the PROCESSED_Q will start processing the queued items to the client.

i get this. what i need do?

ImportError: Using http2=True, but the 'h2' package is not installed. Make sure to install httpx using `pip install httpx[http2]`.

i already run this

pip install httpx[http2]

Thanks for the screen shots. lol, this is funny because it is something I actually did, as well. You ran the install as yourself, then run Cabernet as root. So your account has httpx installed, but root does not. Install httpx in the account running Cabernet is the answer.

theadend and cabernet run on a VM, which is only active when a client is online. therefore the epg is mostly out of date.

With a targeted API call I could update it and then have it processed by tvheadend... but I can't manage it

im confuse why its kinda like a root? i mean all cabernet files are owned by the user no the root, but i have a root crontab for cabernet.

thanks its working now

0.9.14.00-RC06 seems like a winner. Good work.Seems much smoother. Impressed.
Curious about the log now. Thank you.

Well I found a bug with the resync set to yes. Will fix that on Tuesday. I am also having issues with DaddyLive. Looks like they put out a new version and it is quite different causing errors in Cabernet. Can someone let me know if it is more than just me?

anders suarz

i tried like 4 channels of daddylive but not working. what other test can be done?

G Kazaroth

That is probably good enough. I have not dug into it much, but it is not going to be simple. The changes I have for tomorrow makes sure plutotv and xumo still work correctly.

anders suarz

oh looks like both pluto and xumo do changes too like daddylive?

i bet those are the most challenging things. keep functional, kinda see same thing in other iptv stuff like epg.

i tried in my small scale of knowledge get a channel from a site they change so much, i give up. but i get it for some time until they make it impossible.

I am having no issues with daddylive on the channels i watch.....

G Kazaroth

Thanks for checking. Mine is also now working again. There is the resync bug that needs to still be fixed (only if resync is yes). It causes the video packets to be arranged out of order. I should have the updates out today.

anders suarz

working here too

Trying some different configurations for internalproxy for DL. I have lowered the timeout issues by changing the "HTTP Timeout" to 4 and the "HTTP Retries" to 8. I have also found running for 4-6 hours straight causes DL to go into a connection refused condition on all channels. This does seem to reset after a long while. So far, running for 2 hours per channel at a time seems to be OK.

Wow what a cool tool!, thanks for making such a great tool and develop it.

Got everything working exept the Docker image.

on a RPI4, latest image

sudo docker run --rm -it -p 6077:6077 -p 5004:5004 ghcr.io/generator/cabernet:latest

I can open the PlutoTV list from VLC , but nothing is streaming?

What am i missing?, could see others in this thread is struggerling to do the same, but I never came across the solution!

Keep up the good work, hoping to hear from ya!

How do you unlock the database. I often get the following errors on my windows computer after it launches and does the channel scan. in the past I deleted the database and let it recreate it but is there an easier way so i don't need to redo my edited?

On the database lock issue, I have some ideas how to fix. Can you please write an issue in Cabernet?

G Kazaroth

The Docker question above may be related to the hardware arch for RPi. I recommend looking at an active issue
