Sat>IP Server Scan Issues

Hi, I've got a Schwaiger MS41IP Sat IP unit (never heard of the make until recently). Tvheadend doesn't seem to be able to scan with this and if it does it'...

What profile do you use to stream TVH. I find that pass through as .ts streams to a front end client works best

Alex May

Yeah using the passthrough profile in it's default values

Jonas Lang

Is there any WiFi involved in your setup or is it all wired. What’s the quality of the signal from your dish to your tuner like. What does the signal show up in the Status tab

Alex May

I'm actually testing this with my laptop on VLC which is currently on WiFi, usually stream to TVs with wired Apple TVs. I'm just checking this playlist of channels through. Just odd seeing the log with

TSID change detected - old 0814 (2068), new 07f9 (2041)

Unsure what the issue is when a scan has been recently made.

Jonas Lang

I can’t help you with playlists. Don’t use them. I purely use DVBS/S2 via satellite dish direct to tuner and streamed to client.

Might be worth reading this thread https://tvheadend.org/d/739-how-to-automatically-deactivate-tvheadend-tuner-respectively-when-not-using-live-tv

The channels playlist I’m using on Tvheadend. How do you tune ‘direct to tuner’? Are you saying you don’t use Tvheadend?

Jonas Lang

Yes I use TVH. Just follow the Wizard instructions for creating a network for DVBS, supply a predefined mux list for the satellite you are tuning to, select scan and once it completes map the services that were found. You’ll have all your available channels and no playlists involved there.

Alex May

Sorry - when it maps you’re able to link to an m3u file, the ‘channels’. I see that as a playlist and sounds like what you’re using? Or have I misinterpreted what you’ve said?

Jonas Lang

Why would I need a playlist when I have direct access to the individual channels. As an example I’d use Kodi PVR as my client which would import all my channels into Kodi for Live TV. Playlists are usually deployed in an IPTV setup.

Alex May

Perhaps there’s a Kodi system I’m not aware of. However, if you map channels you can access them (like I have via VLC) using http://ip:9981/playlist/channels.m3u

Jonas Lang

Ok I see what you’re doing now. I don’t need to create a playlist to get them out to the client. I just need to supply an address and port number to Kodi PVR Live TV and can access them like you would on a set top box receiver. Might be worth your while checking out Kodi here
