Help with Tvheadend and minisatip
Added by balanga bar over 5 years ago
I'm trying to configure Tvheadend to use Sat>ip as input.
Is the there a guide/tutorial available?
I've never done this before and am guessing about how to do it - it's not very intuitive...

I second that!
I'm simply trying to evaluate minisatip on a basic setup - access dvb-s2 tuners on enigma2 (5.2 openvix) in tvh 4.3.x
So far ive worked this much out- opkg install minisatip #installs minisatip in openvix
- enigma2 needs to be stoppoed to allow access to the dvb-s2 tuners

init 5 ➤ stops Enigma2
- launch minsatip, this is not as straight forward as it should be, this has worked for me
./minisatip -f -D /usr/bin/share/minisatip/html
my understaing is that you should see minisatip gui running now on the default 8080 port
http://tvh-host:8080
- look in tvh, you should see the minisatip tuners - which i do see
- this is where i get lost as i was able to populate the services ONCE and create a bouquet but could not access the channel.
Are there additional configuration steps required here ??
Anyone have a set of bullet proof steps to follow they could share ?

For me , the only way is to start with - "minisatip -N --satip-xml http://127.0.0.1:8554 -R /usr/share/minisatip/html"
if start from /etc/init.d/./minisat i cant get channels

I had the same problem - so let me reply...
In order to see the minisatip server in the tvheadend you need to pass additional argument, like this:
./build.linux/tvheadend --satip_xml http://MINISATIP_IP_ADDRESS:8080/desc.xml
After this the minisat IP adapters should be visible in Device configuration; you can enable it, assign a network and use...
