IPTV only Movistar TV (Spain) can't use two HTS clients (SOLVED)

Hi,

My setup is simple: Tvheadend (3.9.2662~ge4cdd3c) as an IPTV (only) streaming server, with only one provider “Telefonica Movistar TV (aka Imagenio in Spain)”. Connected through fiber to the Internet. Provider can send (multiple) streams using Multicast/UDP traffic. I’ve got an intermediate Linux box with udpxy which suscribes Northbound to the multicast sources and HTTP southbound

SETUP:

            System1           System2       -- HTSP Client 1
+--------+ +---------------+  +---------+  /
|Internet|-|igmpproxy/udpxy|--|tvheadend|--
+--------+ +---------------+  +---------+  \
                                            -- HTSP Client 2

PROBLEM: Only 1 x HTSP Client can watch TV, second CLIENT errors with “No free adapter”.

- System1 and System2 are two different linux equipments
- udpxy System1 has ONLY ONE IP address southbound (tvheadend @ System2)
- Mux/Service/Channels are setup like this:

Network: 
 +
 +— Movistar IPTV

Muxes
 +
 +— MUX 1: http://192.168.1.1:4022/udp/239.0.9.131:8208   ((Name: AXN HD))
 +— MUX 2: http://192.168.1.1:4022/udp/239.0.5.74:8208    ((Name: Calle 13HD))

Services
 +
 +— Service … Channel: AXN HD
 +— Service … Channel: Calle 13HD

Channels
 +
 +— 11 - Services: Movistar IPTV/AXN HD/AXN HD
 +— 12 - Services: Movistar IPTV/Calle 13HD/Calle 13HD

I’ve read several posts and I’m suspecting that Tvheadend does not yet support this type of setup. Notice I’ve tested adding a secondary IP to the udpxy system (and adapting the mux config) but have the same problem. Needless to say that multiple VLC's can simultaneously connect to udpxy system and works seamlessly.

Is this a known issue or feature)? if so, could you please tell me a workaround and also, if you consider so I'll ask for a new feature request.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Luis

RE: Tvheadend IPTV only Movistar TV (Spain) can't use two HTSP clients - Added by Luis Palacios over 9 years ago

After multiple test last night I discovered problem was "Max Input Streams: 1" value in a different Network.

Option 1: FAILS - "Movistar TV" doesn't allow more than 1 HST Client

Network(Movistar TV)->Max Input Streams: 0    <== MAIN Network with 80+ mux's/channels towards a 'udpxy' process in a remote system
Network(Test TDT)->Max Input Streams: 1       <== Test network with 1 channel towards a dreambox TDT channel vía HTTP

Option 2: FAILS - "Movistar TV" doesn't allow more than 1 HST Client

Network(Movistar TV)->Max Input Streams: 100
Network(Test TDT)->Max Input Streams: 1

Option 3: PASS - "Movistar TV" allows múltiple HST Clients !!

Network(Movistar TV)->Max Input Streams: 0
Network(Test TDT)->Max Input Streams: 0

I can confirm now that "multiple HST clients" can consume "multiple HTTP channels" delivered from "same unique udpxy process with unique IP".

Now one question remains, I'm not sure if It's a bug or a feature...

Luis
