SatIP RTSP Input via IPTV playlist = timeout?

Added by Dominik W over 7 years ago

Hi Folks,

try to use RTSP source from SATIP-Server (DVBViewer) via IPTV input. Via HTTP Stream there is no problem, but channel response is not so quickly, also i get diffrent channels on each mux while scanning (is more a cosmetic problem).
If i use RTSP stream, streaming stops after approx ~20 seconds. I think thats happens because we send no keep alive "OPTIONS" or "GET_PARAMETER" request within a timeout.

Is there any workaround?

Hello,

I'm having the same problem.
I'd like to use RTSP stream from a Megasat Server-3 (alias Xoro etc.).

With my setup, the stream starts playing fine but stops after 60 seconds (which is the timeout set in the Megasat Server-3).

When I use VLC player with same RTSP address and arguments, it plays as long as desired. Also, DVB-Viewer works as expected.
So I think as assumed by Dominik, some 'keep alive' message is missing from TVheadend to keep the Megasat box streaming.

Setup details:

- Megasat SAT>IP Server 3
- TVheadend 4.2.3-20, Kodi 17.7, LibreElec 8.2.1 running on a Raspberry Pi 3

I added an IPTV network and used an m3u playlist to import channels. Also tried manual IPTV network and manually added a Mux with the RTSP address to a channel,
for example like this:
rtsp://192.168.x.xxx/?src=1&freq=11494&pol=h&ro=0.35&msys=dvbs2&mtype=8psk&plts=on&sr=22000&fec=23&pids=0,17,18,5100,5101,5102,5104
(with 192.168.x.xxx pointing to the Megasat IP-Server-3).

Settings in details in the screenshots below.

Any help / ideas what configuration might be missing or if there's a workaround?

Thanks!
