Sorry I am not familiar with TVheadend yet.  What am I looking for here?

 

I'm away from home, but go in settings of tvheadend and find stream profiles and edit the profile named in the lag and set the option that says 0 somewhere to auto.

Hi all,

 

first of all thanks for the great support here - i have learned much by reading .

 

No all is setup proper but i have one problem- i migrate from a standalone TVH and want to import my channel list and picons.

 

And i dont have any knowledge to do that.

 

How can I import anything on docker?

 

How can i browes thorugh the shares ?

 

Can I stop TVH in Docker?

 

I must delete and replace files in this folders:

 

/home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/input/

 /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/channel/

 

Any tipp for me ?

Stop the docker and you'll find the files in the appdata folder you choose (defaults to /mnt/user/appdata/tvheadend I think) - I'd backup before deleting just in case.  A good way to backup  dockers is to use the CA backup plugin.

Once you've changed your files, restart the docker.

I am now trying to get the EPG setup.  I have typed the following in 

 

docker exec -it -u abc tvheadend /usr/bin/tv_grab_sd_json --configure

and I go through all the information as far as setting up the cache and username and password.   then after I get to the end I enable the module.  I then hit the button to rerun internal EPG grabbers but nothing seems to show up.  What am I missing here?

You looked at this guide?  I only use OTA EPG so can't help.

If you're still having problems after following this, maybe @Stark can help.

Click the two up arrows in the bottom right and trigger a grab again to see if it's grabbing anything. There will be a summary at the end with new shows and total. 

You might also need to close the tab and open it again to show. 

Another thing is that you might need to choose the epg source for every channel.

Ok it looks like adding the epg source to every channel may do the trick.  I was hoping to avoid having to do this since I didn't have to do it in MythTV however I should only have to do it once when I set it up so I guess I will just live with it.  Thanks for the help

How much streams docker handle?

That's hardware and TVH dependent, docker doesn't limit you.

[memphisto]

I would like to stream for 1600 users. I think it's better to use the pcie card than usb. But I do not know how much one stream needs computing power.

It will be the network that will be your problem. Multiply a HD stream by 1600 and you will see that you have a problem.

You might want to look at other options to do this and will probably need to use multicast.

 

Is this for professional use? 

[memphisto]

1600 user it's maximum peak. I think for real use is half or less. But you never know.

Is one time project, for accommodation facilities. I just wanna pass-through DVT2 streams to the network.

Even at half you will have a problem. You need multicast for this to work or set up multiple servers.

[memphisto]

They use Cisco switches, so multicast is supported. So if i understand correctly, if we enable multicast on switches, from the server side looks like a couple streams, right?

I think you misunderstand me. Tvheadend doesn't support streaming to clients via multicast.

Maybe MuMuDVB supports this.

Oh gosh, i didn't checking it. Thanks for info, now google time...

I'm trying to set up an IPTV source in tvheadend but can't have it working.

 

With version 4.3, I get : 'no assigned adapters'

With version 4.2.5, I get : 'scan no data, failed'

 

However, the m3u url I'm providing to tvheadend works just fine with VLC. Any idea ?

Not enough info to say what's going wrong.

Is it multicast IPTV? If so, is the container set to use host networking?

Where and how did you add the m3u?

You create a Network and add the m3u in the URL field like below?

 

file:///config/get.m3u

 

[delivereath]

Not sure about multicast. I've anyway set the container to host network.

 

I went to network, then add, type 'IPTV Automatic Network', I entered a link to a custom m3u file which has a single channel. tvheadend is able to grab the file and parse it as it correctly lists the found channel in the muxes list.

 

Is there any way to enable a more verbose log ?

So the channel is in the muxes list. Then you have to map it to channels, then try to play it.

You are not at all clear when the error happens. It's hard to help when you don't provide much details.

[delivereath]

I can't map it to channels as tvheadend fails to scan the mux. When I force the mux scan, I only get 'scan no data, failed' in the console log. Is there any verbose log anywhere ?

 

Here is what I have in the found mux. In URL is a link to *.ts file :

If it's not scanning the mux correctly the channel is not found as you said in your previous post.

What is the source of the stream? Are you specifying a ts file stored somewhere? 

[delivereath]

No, I'm not specifying a ts file. I just placed a link to a m3u file in the URL of the network. The file has a single ts link. The file was correctly downloaded and parsed as tvheadend listed in the mux. But then it cannot scan it. Is there any detailed log ? Or a way to increase verbosity of the log ?

So this is only a link to a ts file that you want tvheadend to download and play? If so, that is not how tvheadend works.
