So I figured out something. If my middle-ware run a batch start stream and one of the channels has an error, tvh freaks out and stop starting streams. It will only start the same stream if you restart tvh via command line. Now by doing it one by one i was able to start 26 channels manually vs batch and only getting 12. Im getting the errors in the pasted log below, what is causing this and can it be fixed?
TVH only allowing some streams via external middleware
DeltaMikeCharlie quick question, do you know how many streams a card can stream to clients? I want to know because I'm planning on having a lot of clients.
Bossman I don't know, I'm sorry. However, It's probably not related directly to the card.
I'm not sure if TVH limits the number of streams, but it could come down to the way the OS is configured and/or the throughput of your network.
Each card may contain 1 or more tuners and each of those tuners will be able to access 1 mux at a time. Each mux can have multiple services.
So if you have 1 card, you can only stream from 1 mux, but if your clients are all using services from the same mux, then your limiting factor could be the capacity of your network. I recommend experimenting to see what your network can tolerate.
DeltaMikeCharlie Okay, So I bought another server.I have a quad turner card also bought another 13 single cards, so far one server will have 9 turners. (quad plus 5 singles)
Question
- When scanning for muxes, is it limited by the amount of cards installed or type? Reason I'm asking, when I only had the quad it only found 4, but when I added more it found 10.
2.Can Musxes be assign to individual cards?
3.
Bossman Can Muxes be assign to individual cards?
Yes, sort of.
You need to create separate networks.
Ensure that the card(s) that you want to restrict are only assigned to that network. Create the muxes that you want assigned to specific a specific card(s) on the network that has that card(s) attached.
DeltaMikeCharlie Question is tvheadend limited to the amount of tuners, I have 12 but 9 install? Ubuntu sees them all if I use "lspci" command but when I open headend it only see 8
Bossman Question is tvheadend limited to the amount of tuners
A quick look suggests 32.
Enable debug/trace to see what TVH reports regarding adapters.
It looks like TVH searches for /dev/dvb/adapter0
to /dev/dvb/adapter31
do your adapters follow this pattern?
DeltaMikeCharlie sorry for the late response, been working out of town a lot. when I get back I will check it out. thanks

I don't know if this is significant, but I noticed that you are using a snap package. Could it be possible that snap is somehow limiting the devices that are available to TVH?
Perhaps you could report this issue to the publisher of the snap package.
You could also try enabling debug/trace for the linuxdvb
subsystem and see what messages you get.

Im trying to install TVH outside the snap-stor and i'm getting this error. what dependencies i'm I missing. I want to see if its the snap stop version with the limitations.
Bossman what dependencies i'm I missing.
Try asking the publisher of the Snap package.
