No playback through WebUI
Added by Sean Durkin almost 11 years ago
Hi *,
I just set up TVheadend as a pure server on a Raspberry Pi with a Technisat SkyStar USB HD DVB-S/S2 receiver. Basically, this works fine: I can stream channels (both SD and HD work fine) to my PC and notebooks running VLC or something else, as long as I use the links that are shown in the Configuration/DVB Inputs/Services tab. Those links look like this:
Using those, I can watch all channels.
What does not work is playing via the links the WebUI provides, like this:
http://myserver.ip:9981/playlist/channelid/10
In that case I always I only get cryptic errors. In the log it always says something like this:
Jan 5 14:33:34 raspberrypi tvheadend[3352]: subscription: "HTTP" unsubscribing from "ZDF HD"
Jan 5 14:33:34 raspberrypi tvheadend[3352]: HTTP: 192.168.2.107: using ticket 0679B41063A0EACA4E7577616FD252C347075624 for /stream/channelid/125
Jan 5 14:33:34 raspberrypi tvheadend[3352]: subscription: No transponder available for subscription "HTTP" to channel "ZDF HD"
Jan 5 14:33:34 raspberrypi tvheadend[3352]: webui: Couldn't start streaming /stream/channelid/125?ticket=0679B41063A0EACA4E7577616FD252C347075624, Adapter in use by other subscription
Jan 5 14:33:34 raspberrypi tvheadend[3352]: subscription: "HTTP" unsubscribing from "ZDF HD"
I don't know what I'm missing. The /playlist/channelid/-Links do not work, there must be something else I have to set up to get these working. Because of this, TVHclient doesn't work, of course, because it relies on those working.
What could be the problem? It must be some configuration issue, like there not being any transponder configuration behind the channel numbers or something, but I don't see where I would set that up. You just map channels and that should be taken care of?

Sean

Hi *,
small update: I think this is some sort of timing issue. I noticed that it sometimes works when you keep trying. I tried the HTSP-plugin for VLC and noticed that when I chose a channel, it immediately skips to the next one, and the one after that until it finds one that works. So maybe TVheadend on the Raspberry Pi is sometimes too slow to respond or something and that's why VLC doesn't display anything. Haven't had the chance yet to try it on a different Linux machine with more CPU power...

Sean
