Requirements:
- Libcurl - the multiprotocol file transfer library with RTSP support
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
- VDR-2.1.4+ for scrambled channels
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
Setup menu:
- Enable EPG scanning = yes If you want exclude all SAT>IP devices
from VDR's EIT background scanning, set
this option to "no".
- 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
- [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.
SAT>IP device menu:
- [Red:Scan] Starts the channel scanning sometime in
the future.
Configuration:
- Parameters
Various parameters, depending on whether this is a DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T,
or DVB-T2 channel. Each parameter consist of a key character, followed by
an integer number that represents the actual setting of that parameter.
The valid key characters, their meaning, and allowed values are:
B Bandwidth (1712, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10)
C Code rate high priority (12, 23, 34, 35, 45, 56, 67, 78, 89, 910)
G Guard interval (4, 8, 16, 32, 128, 19128, 19256)
H Horizontal polarization
L Left circular polarization
M Modulation (2, 5, 16, 64, 256)
N pilot toNes (0, 1)
O rollOff (20, 25, 35)
P stream id (0-255)
Q t2 system id (0-65535)
R Right circular polarization
S delivery System (0, 1)
T Transmission mode (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32)
V Vertical polarization
X siso/miso mode (0, 1)
Z signal source position (1-255)
Bandwidth: The bandwidth of the channel in MHz (1712 in kHz)
(DVB-T/DVB-T2)
Code rate high priority: Forward Error Correction (FEC) of the high
priority stream (DVB-T/DVB-T2) or the the inner FEC scheme (DVB-S/DVB-S2)
12 = 1/2, 23 = 2/3, 34 = 3/4, 35 = 3/5, 45 = 4/5, 56 = 5/6,

Guard interval: The guard interval value
4 = 1/4, 8 = 1/8, 16 = 1/16, 32 = 1/32, 128 = 1/128,
19128 = 19/128, 19256 = 19/256
(DVB-T/DVB-T2)
Modulation: Specifies the modulation/constellation of the channel

16 = QAM16 (DVB-T, DVB-T2)
64 = QAM64 (DVB-T, DVB-T2)
256 = QAM256 (DVB-T2)
Pilot tones: Specifies pilot tones usage
0 = off, 1 = on
(DVB-S2)
Rolloff: The Nyquist filter rolloff factor
35 = 0.35, 25 = 0.25, 20 = 0.20
(DVB-S/DVB-S2)
Stream id: Physical Layer Pipe (PLP) id (0-255) for DVB-T2 multiplex
(DVB-T2)
T2 system id: Unique identifier (0-65535) of the T2 system
(DVB-T2)
Transmission mode: Number of DVB-T OFDM carriers
32 = 32k, 16 = 16k, 8 = 8k, 4 = 4k, 2 = 2k, 1 = 1k
(DVB-T/DVB-T2)
Delivery System: The delivery system
0 = "first generation" (DVB-S/DVB-T)
1 = "second generation" (DVB-S2/DVB-T2)
Polarization: Satellite antenna polarization
H = horizontal, V = vertical
R = circular right, L = circular left
(DVB-S/DVB-S2)

0 = SISO, 1 = MISO
(DVB-T2)
- Source
There are two separate signal sources for SAT>IP channels:
Z = SAT>IP Satellite (DVB-S/DVB-S2)
Y = SAT>IP Terrestrial (DVB-T/DVB-T2)

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.
- SAT>IP specification 1.2 doesn't support DVB-C/DVB-C2 receivers yet.
- If the plugin doesn't detect your SAT>IP network device, make sure
your setup doesn't have firewalled the UDP port 1900.
