Subject: Streaming OBS-recorded channel to TVHeadend via FFmpeg (SRT) – Scan & Service Mapping Issue
Hello,
I would like to request guidance on integrating an FFmpeg SRT stream into TVHeadend.
My Setup & Requirement
I am using a Linux machine.
A TV channel is captured/recorded using OBS Studio.
The recorded file is stored on the same local machine.
Using FFmpeg, I am able to stream this file successfully via SRT.
Working FFmpeg Test
The following commands work correctly between two machines:
Sender machine:
ffmpeg -re -i polimer-news.mp4 -f mpegts srt://0.0.0.0:4200?mode=listener
Receiver machine:
ffplay srt://<IP_ADDRESS>:4200?mode=caller
This confirms that the FFmpeg SRT stream is working properly.
What I Want to Achieve
Stream the channel directly into TVHeadend
No local file storage on the TVHeadend server
Live capture and recording should be handled directly by TVHeadend
TVHeadend Configuration Attempt
1.Added a network under:
DVB Inputs → Networks
2.Added muxes under:
DVB Inputs → Muxes
Issue Faced
Mux scanning fails
Services are not detected
Unable to map services
Request
Could you please guide me on:
The correct network type to use for an FFmpeg/SRT MPEG-TS stream
Proper mux configuration for this setup
Any additional settings required to make TVHeadend recognize and map the services
Thank you for your time and support.
I look forward to your guidance.
Best regards,
Jeya
