Switching services over different networks

Added by Nicolas Rioja about 7 years ago

Hi,

I´ll try to explain my configurations and my doubts.
I have two programs coming in to my Tvheadend system from different sources...

First scenario:

1.- Network IPTV: Quality HD
2.- Network DVB-S: Quality SD

Both services are mapped to the same channel. With this configuration made in the streams profile section:

So, with this configuration, when I start to play that channel, Tvheadend switchs to the IPTV service where is broadcasting in HD instead of the SD service of the DVB-S network. That´s OK.

But, if the source of the IPTV network/stream fails when we are watching that service, the option of "Switch to another service" doesn´t work and the image gets freezed in the TV until we stop to watch that channel and start to play again where starts the SD service from the DVB-S Network to be transmitted.

However, if the program needs to be descrambled the option to "Switch to another service" works better.

Second scenario:

1.- Network DVB-S: Quality HD (scrambled)
2.- Network DVB-T: Quality SD (FTA)

I start to watch the channel from the HD service but, if I have any problem with my descrambler service, the channel starts to transmit the service in SD coming from the DVB-T network almost without any interruption.

So, the question is, why the "Switch to another service" option doesn´t work with IPTV streams?

If helps, find attached to this post the logs trigering the two events in both scenarios.

Thank you and best regards.
