Map failed Muxxes to Services

David Mainem

Following Scenario:
I want to use a TVHeadend which is running on a VPS as Loadbalancer for my Home TVHeadend.

I added the channels of the Home TVH to the VPS TVH using a M3U.

There are Channels in it which do not Broadcast 24/7, which means the scan result will fail. With a failed scan result they are not added to the Services Tab and thus cannot be mapped.
Is there any way to override the need for a positve scan result?

Untested, but perhaps you could use the HTTP API to trigger a scan at a time when your missing channels are active? A cron script calling eg

curl http://USER:PASS@your.tvh.ip/mpegts/network/scan?uuid=UUID

where USER and PASS are the username and password of an admin user, and UUID is the uuid of the network to be scanned, obtained from a call to

curl http://USER:PASS@your.tvh.ip/mpegts/mux/grid

See https://github.com/dave-p/TVH-API-docs/wiki/mpegts

That would be a possible solution, but there are channels which arent used for months or only once in a year.

So that does not help.

I dont why there does not seems to be any override mechanism for something like that.

What is the source you are scanning from.

I just used another url that works to do the scann and then put the original url back again. This way the test is successfull and the service is added.
