Requirements:
- Libcurl >= 7.36.0 - 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/
- Glibc >= 2.12 - the GNU C library (recvmmsg)
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/
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 two. 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. The parameter string is a semicolon
separated list of "<ipaddress>|<model>|<description>" entries. The model
consists of a DVB system (DVBS2,DVBT2,DVBT,DVBC) and number of available
frontends separated by a hyphen:
vdr -P 'satip -s [<srcaddress>@]<ipaddress>[:<port>]|<model>[:<filter>]|<description>[:<quirk>];...'
vdr -P 'satip -s 192.168.0.1|DVBS2-2,DVBT2-2|OctopusNet'
vdr -P 'satip -s 192.168.0.1|DVBS2-4|OctopusNet;192.168.0.2|DVBT2-4|minisatip:0x18'
vdr -P 'satip -s 192.168.0.1:554|DVBS2-2:S19.2E|OctopusNet;192.168.0.2:8554|DVBS2-4:S19.2E,S1W|minisatip'
The plugin accepts a "--portrange" (-p) command-line parameter, that can
be used to manually specify the RTP & RTCP port range and therefore
enables using the plugin through a NAT (e.g. Docker bridged network).
A minimum of 2 ports per device is required.
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. A special number zero can
be used to disable the source. 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
S19.2E 0 Astra 1KR/1L/1M/2C
=> Source is disabled
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
- Transport mode = unicast If you want to use the non-standard
multicast RTP-over-TCP transport mode, set this option
rtp-o-tcp accordingly. Otherwise, the transport
mode will be RTP-over-UDP via unicast or
multicast.
- Enable frontend reuse = yes Certain devices might have artifacts if
multiple channels are assigned to the same
frontend. If you want to avoid such a
frontend assignment, set this option to "no".
- [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:
- If you are having problems receiving DVB-S2 channels, make sure your
channels.conf entry contains correct pilot tone setting.
- 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. Also the integrated CAM slots
in Octopus Net devices are 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.
The firmware 1.16.0.120 can be downloaded and installed
from their webpage: http://www.inverto.tv/support/
An update to a newer firmware should be offered afterwards.
- FRITZ!OS 7.00 or greater recommended for FRITZ!Box Cable devices.
Older firmware versions require both PlayPids and ForceLock quirks.
- If you are experiencing glitches in the video stream, one possible
reason can be buffer overflows in RTP receive sockets. You can verify
this by checking "receive buffer errors" counter by running "netstat -s"
command. If the counter increases every time a video glitch happens,
you should try to tweak the RTP receive buffer size with the "--rcvbuf"
(-r) plugin parameter.
A good starting point for the buffer size is to double the operating
system default value until errors disappear or the maximum value is
reached. You can check these values in Linux by checking the kernel
parameters:
$ cat /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default
$ cat /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
