Description:
|
|
|
|
This plugin integrates SAT>IP network devices seamlessly into VDR.
|
|
You can use any SAT>IP channel like any other normal DVB channel for
|
|
live viewing, recording, etc. The plugin also features full section
|
|
filtering capabilities which allow for example EIT information to be
|
|
extracted from the incoming stream.
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
|
|
tar -xzf /put/your/path/here/vdr-satip-X.Y.Z.tgz
|
|
make -C satip-X.Y.Z install
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
|
|
The plugin accepts a "--devices" (-d) command-line parameter defaulting
|
|
to one. This parameter defines how many simultaneous transponders can
|
|
be received, if there are available SAT>IP tuners.
|
|
|
|
The plugin accepts also a "--server" (-s) command-line parameter, that
|
|
can be used to manually configure static SAT>IP servers if autodetection
|
|
via UPnP somehow can't be used.
|
|
|
|
SAT>IP satellite positions (aka. signal sources) shall be defined via
|
|
sources.conf. If the source description begins with a number, it's used
|
|
as SAT>IP signal source selection parameter. Otherwise, the default
|
|
parameter is one:
|
|
|
|
S19.2E Astra 1KR/1L/1M/2C
|
|
=> Signal source = 1
|
|
|
|
S19.2E 2
|
|
=> Signal source = 2
|
|
|
|
S19.2E 3 Astra 1KR/1L/1M/2C
|
|
=> Signal source = 3
|
|
|
|
A channel can be assigned into a specific SAT>IP frontend by giving the
|
|
identifier number in RID field of a channels.conf entry:
|
|
FE = RID % 100
|
|
Valid range: 1 ... 99
|
|
|
|
Setup menu:
|
|
|
|
- Operating mode = off If you want exclude all SAT>IP devices
|
|
low from VDR's device handling, set this
|
|
normal option to "off". Otherwise, if you want
|
|
high to keep SAT>IP at a low priority when
|
|
selecting available devices, set this
|
|
option to "low". Similarly, the "high"
|
|
value prefers the SAT>IP over the local
|
|
DVB cards when selecting available devices.
|
|
- Use CI extension = no If you want to use the CI extension found
|
|
in some SAT>IP hardware (e.g. Digital
|
|
Devices OctopusNet), set this option to
|
|
"yes".
|
|
- CICAM #<slot> = <system> If you want to assign a CA system into
|
|
a specific CI slot, set this option to
|
|
a named one. Use "---" for autoselection.
|
|
- Enable EPG scanning = yes If you want exclude all SAT>IP devices
|
|
from VDR's EIT background scanning, set
|
|
this option to "no".
|
|
- Disabled sources = none If your SAT>IP servers don't have certain
|
|
satellite positions available you can
|
|
disable them via this option.
|
|
- Disabled filters = none Certain section filters might cause some
|
|
unwanted behaviour to VDR such as time
|
|
being falsely synchronized etc. This option
|
|
allows creation of blacklists of ill-behaving
|
|
filters. If this option is set to a non-zero
|
|
value, the menu page will contain that many
|
|
"Disable filter" options which allow you
|
|
to disable the individual section filters.
|
|
Valid range: "none" = 0 ... 7
|
|
- [Red:Scan] Forces network scanning of SAT>IP hardware.
|
|
- [Yellow:Devices] Opens SAT>IP device status menu.
|
|
- [Blue:Info] Opens SAT>IP information/statistics menu.
|
|
- [Ok] Opens information menu of selected SAT>IP
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
Information menu:
|
|
|
|
- [Red:General] Opens the general information page.
|
|
- [Green:Pids] Opens the pid statistics page.
|
|
- [Yellow:Filters] Opens the section filter statistics page.
|
|
- [Blue:Bits/bytes] Toggles between bits and bytes mode.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- The stream id "-1" states about unsuccessful tuning. This might be a
|
|
result of invalid channel parameters or lack of free SAT>IP tuners.
|
|
|
|
- If the plugin doesn't detect your SAT>IP network device, make sure
|
|
your setup doesn't have firewalled the UDP port 1900.
|
|
|
|
- Stream decryption requires a separate CAM plugin that works without
|
|
direct access to any DVB card devices. The integrated CAM slot in
|
|
Octopus Net devices isn't supported.
|
|
|
|
- Tracing can be set on/off dynamically via command-line switch or
|
|
SVDRP command.
|
|
|
|
- OctopusNet firmware 1.0.40 or greater recommended.
|
|
|
|
- Inverto OEM firmware 1.17.0.120 or greater recommended.
|
|
|
|
- Inverto OEM firmware 1.60.0.120 can be downloaded and installed
|
|
from their webpage: http://www.inverto.tv/support/
|
|
An update to a newer firmware will be offered afterwards.
