Tvheadend

Great Idea!

For now the channels can be imported as IPTV channels, but I would also like a smart easy way to control and manage both tvheadend servers, maybe an option to link tvheadend server (slave/master) could be added, and then that's tvheadends (slave) tuner would turn up in the master tvheadend. And then the master tvheadend could be linked to kodi/xbmc or other frontends.

There is the vtuner option (a great option if you can get it to work), but I fear that's not being worked on anymore, also this would be more kernel/platform independent (android/linux).

Best regards!

What I would like to be able to do is transcode any given channel so that I am able to watch them over the internet when I'm away from home. Unfortunately the WeTek Play does not have the correct codecs to be able to support transcoding so my thoughts were to make use of a PC I have here running CentOS 6.5 to do the transcoding. I was thinking that I'd need to install TVHeadend with transcoding support enabled on my CentOS box and then somehow feed the channel data from the TVHeadend running on the WeTek to the TVHeadend running on the CentOS box.

If you need the transcoding, you should be able to add the first tvheadend (the one with the DVB-S) as IPTV channels on the second one, but, i think you have to add every channel manually (someone, correct me if i'm wrong), maybe it's possible to add the muxes as IPTV and it pulls all channels on that mux...

If the transcoding isn't absolutely necessary, you should have a look at the brand new SAT>IP Server that perex has added just a few days ago, this way you should be able to add the DVB-S-tvheadend like a SAT>IP-LNB on the second tvheadend. Not too much documentation yet on how to add it to the client, but if you are using a build after 2.9.2525, the server part should be visible under Configuration -> General -> SAT>IP Server...
