TVHeadend with 2 network cards

Added by Torsten Jaeger about 9 years ago

Hello,

I'm setting up TVheadend with two network cards. One for incoming streams from SAT-IP Box (Octopus NET with 4xS2 cards) and one for outgoing streams to internal network for the clients.

I Use UBUNTU 14.04 LTS as virtual machine.

Networks are running perfect.

BUT after installation of tvheadend SAT-IP box not found (nothing under tv adapters)

I tried to move the order of the network cards nothing.

Only remove the network card to internal network solved the issue - the Octopus appears unter TV-Adpters

Any ideas, why tvheadend doesn't work with 2 network cards ?

Thanks

Try using the --satip_xml option with tvheadend (it will accept a comma separated list), see here for usage.

Hey,

this thread is quite old but I wanted to bring this issue up again since I running in the same issue right now. I have TVheadend running on a linux machine with two network cards. NIC 1 is connected to my home network. Now I wanted to use the NIC 2 to connect my SatIP-Server Triax TSS400 to use this as a DVB-Adapter. Unfortunately this is not working. If I connect the Triax directly into my regular home network, tvheadend shows the triax SATIP-Server and it is usable.

It looks that tvheadend cannot handle two network cards. I also already tried the --satip_xml option without success.

Has anyone of you already configured tvheadned to use two network cards?

Thanks,
MB

I have used Tvheadend successfully with 2 NICs. One received its IP via DHCP and was the main egress interface used to communicate with the bulk of my network. The second NIC was given a static IP of 169.254.1.1/16 to that it would live on the same subnet as devices giving themselves self-assigned 169.254.0.0/16 IP addresses. (I used this second interface for HTTP streaming from HDHR Primes as IPTV inputs for Tvheadend.)

Since I had no problems with my setup and 2 NICs, I can say the problem is not with Tvheadend. Most likely your problem is with your routing, and ensuring that there is a route between the NICs. What is the output of ip r? That may give you some clue as to what your problem is.
