Requirements:
- Libcurl - the multiprotocol file transfer library with RTSP support
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
- PugiXML - Light-weight, simple and fast XML parser for C++
http://pugixml.org/
or
TinyXML - a simple, small, C++ XML parser
http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml/
- 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
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.
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
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.
- 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
- [Red:Scan] Forces network scanning of SAT>IP hardware.
- [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.
- SAT>IP specification 1.2 doesn't support DVB-C/DVB-C2 receivers yet,
but DVB-C (KABEL>IP) is supported for Digital Devices Octopus Net
devices.
- 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.
- The 100% compliance against SAT>IP specification 1.2 requires a
patched VDR providing channel configuration for pilot, T2 system id,
and SISO/MISO values.
- If you're using Triax TSS400, you'll need the libcurl from 2013-03-20
or newer.
