IPTV - MagentaTV - Cannot create services (scan, no data failed)

Added by Bene Fein over 5 years ago

Hello,

I am new to tvheadend and the forum and looking for help.

I installed tvheadend 4.2.6 on opensuse 15.0. After starting the service etc., I can logon via the web-interface and can run the setup wizzard.
When creating "IPTV - Automatic Network" I can enter my the m3u file which is provided by Fritz.Box/Telekom (I am a MagentaTV user).
When continuing the wizzard can setup the muxes, but it is not able to create a service.

This is shown up in the trace.

When I use Windows with VLC I can enter an address like "rtp::10000" and network streaming is working.
However, the same test does not work with VLC on my opensuse setup.

I also tried the gnome video player with the following result: "The RTP protocol source is required to play the file, but is not installed."

Any hints?
If RTP is missing, Is just a package missing?

What format is the rtp payload stream?

TVH expects a transport stream [xxx.ts], for other stream types, you'll have to pipe through ffmpeg - you'll need an entry like this in your .m3u file:

pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -headers User-Agent:Mozilla\r\n -i URL -map 0 -c copy -metadata service_name=SVC -f mpegts pipe:1

You should replace URL and SVC with your URL and service name [if you have one] respectively.
You may not need the User-Agent header, but some services require it.

Hi,

thanks for the info. Honestly, I don't know for sure but your hint was very useful.
Now I found some github repo which is providing m3u with the expected pipes.
I will try the evening.

https://github.com/jnk22/entertain-iptv/blob/master/iptv/pipe/pipe_tv.m3u

Example Entry:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="RTL" tvg-id="RTL.de" group-title="Entertain" tvg-logo="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jnk22/entertain-iptv/master/logos/tv/rtl.png",RTL
pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -i rtp://@239.35.20.10:10000 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -metadata service_name=RTL -metadata service_provider=Entertain -mpegts_service_type advanced_codec_digital_sdtv -f mpegts pipe:1

Regards

Ok, now I tried with the linked/printed entry above.
Unfortunately, it does not work either.

The muxes are created but no channels found.
When I press play on one mux and open with VLC, I get the following log entry:

Apr 03 20:26:14 suppe vlc.desktop[1722]: [0000562b58b16b60] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

When I open the Mux with GnomeVideo it says:

Good news. The opensuse firewalld is active by default.
I added UDP port 10000 as exception, which now lets tvh find the services and also the streams can be played without pipes.

Unfortunately, the stream was always aborted after ~90 seconds.
When I completely disable the firewall tvh seems to work as expected.

Ticket can be closed.
Perhaps someone can suggest which additional ports/protocols should be enabled.
