Tvheadend

lol. to do that I would have to understand what is going on. I don't. Appreciate cabernet. I will just do m3u via other means for now. Thanks.

G Kazaroth is it possible to use the epg files from the newer update on an older update?

According to the change log, the EPG database changed in version 0.9.11.x and has not changed since, so the linked files should be cross compatible. They would not be compatible with 0.9.10.x. Versions 0.9.12 had changes to the way the database was provided to the client. The client setting "Use Channel # for Channel ID" significantly improved the correlation issues with Plex, Emby and JellyFin and the what Plex displayed as the channel number in the guide.

I changed that setting on Cabernet but I am still getting the Unknown Airing error. But when I add the tuner to Plex and it scans the channels it matches the channels right.

ALso, I'm not seeing in the logs the amount of days of it pulled from the EPG.

This is the log from Plex when I add the tuner and download the EPG data:

Well, that has very little info. It has nothing to do with the download of the EPG data and only has to do with Plex detection of the tuner. It really makes no sense to have this data on this forum, so if you really want to resolve this, you need to write an issue in Cabernet and submit a DEBUG log from startup through the successful execution of the EPG scheduled event.

0.9.12.14
0.9.12 expected updates are complete. Plan to start work on 0.9.13 next week. Daddylive really tested Cabernet with Connection Refuse and HTTP 500 error codes, but it has made Cabernet more stable. These changes are all in the internalproxy area. Enjoy!

works with cabernet-0.9.12.14 ubuntu 22.04

Not sure if this will work on windows or not.

This will get your 486 channels and it will not break channel update or software upgrade features or any other features. EPG should be 4 or less as the added channels epg cause a bug and epg fails.
Software updates will more then likely break the added channels and you might have to do these steps again and possibly need a new version of my udpated files.

1. stop cabernet (must be stopped)
2. copy list.index to ~/plugins_ext/provider_video_daddylive/resources/list.index
3. overwrite channel_list.json to ~/plugins_ext/provider_video_daddylive/resources/channel_list.json
4. overwrite channels.py ~/plugins_ext/provider_video_daddylive/lib/channels.py
5. adjust your config.ini to have epg of 4 or less (if you never configured epg in ui then its default to 2 so no need to do this step)
5. start cabernet
6. If you dont see additiona channels after the steps above it could be due to last refresh of channels being too recent. you can either wait till channel scan happens again or try to initiate it via gui Schedule_task optoin. If you not patient and want it instantly then go to /data/db/channels.db and delete it and restart cabernet.

if you update to new version this might not work but you can try by doing steps above. For example my last mod stopped working after cabernet moved plugins from plugins folder to plugins_ext folder

you guys run cabernet on jellyfin? just curious if epg runs well there.

i can play channels.

If you are having issues, take a look at https://github.com/cabernetwork/cabernet/issues/78

The guide is working well for DaddyLive. I need to make adjustments to the Pluto EPG refresh intervals..
I did notice for Pluto channels it will go to black for a commercial break and stay black unless I restart the channel. need to figure that out. otherwise it works great with Jellyfin .

hi! Can this program be used with any streaming tv service ?
I can watch live tv from https://www.allente.se/ with my web browser after i login with [email protected] and mypassword
If i press play on a channel and copy the path it looks like this: https://tv.allente.se/channels/5470/tv/asset/live/4091441/svt1-hd
So will this app handle the login like chrome if i put the channel links in a m3u or do i need a plugin to do that ?

It can provide streaming for any non-DRM based ATSC 1.0 stream (which is almost everything). The M3U plugin does not support authentication unless it is part of the URL (as in https://username:pwd@url/...). The plugin design does support any type of authentication, so you would need to create your own plugin for the type of authentication used. There is currently no support for creating plugins.

Cabernet 0.9.13.00-RC1
This is a Release Candidate containing the mux capability to connect multiple clients to a single provider stream. It has no effect on VOD-based channels. Clients tend to believe that streams should be continuous and will cause a restart of the stream, if no data flows for 10 seconds. This reset causes a déjà vu event that backs up the last few seconds and replays them. This version tries to keep that from happening and helps to maintain the current good connection, by not doing the restart requested, but instead, continuing to provide the stream from the provider to the client streams that are available. This has increased the stability of daddylive plugin and removed the déjà vu event.

I have upgraded my server and it worked without issue. Further testing is needed to verify nothing new has been broken. The biggest issue found and resolved was defunct processes when stopping the streams.

The main page has been updated and now shows the number of clients connected to the provider stream. For VOD streams, two tuners are used for two streams from the same channel while one tuner is used when the same non-VOD channel is streamed (The number of clients will show 2).

I have to say daddly live is 99.99% stable with rc4

M3U Plugin 0.1.8 Adds #EXT-X-SESSION-DATA tag to the m3u file for adding HTTP header session data
This should allow the request by @Hardcore Jax to use the m3u plugin with authentication.
What I found is that many M3U sites used Referer HTTP header tags to restrict access. You can use the new tag to add a Referer like:

#EXT-X-SESSION-DATA:DATA-ID='HEADER',VALUE='{"Referer": "https://abc.net"}'

#EXT-X-SESSION-DATA:DATA-ID='HEADER',VALUE='{"Referer": "https://abc.net", "Origin": "https://abc.net", "Cookie": "name1=value1; name2=value2"}'

DEBUG:channels Using Header Session Data {...}

Has anyone been able to get it to work with any of the Nvidia Shield Pro tvheadend apps? I was able to get one app to read the m3u file but won't show the epg info and won't play the channels. I will try again tomorrow but was wondering if anyone has done it.

TVHeadend is a server application. You need a client like kodi to view channels and epg data.

I tried with different DVR,TVHeadend,HDHomerun,etc apps but haven't tried Kodi. I'll try it and update soon.

Excuse me if this is a stupid post but I have looked for documentation and found none. I read through MUCH (But not all) of this thirty some page thread and still do not find docs nor the answer to my q1uesdtion

Question
How do I activate Daddylive?

I have activated it in plugins (or is it addons?), as well as m3u and TV guide, then restarted ..
I then go to Stream Sources, and activated it but upon further restarts shows as inactive

I have the following in the ini file

[daddylive]
hdhr_id = 105411DA
enabled = True
player-tuner_count = 4
epg-plugin = ALL

It never shows active in GUI and no channels are displayed regardless of restarts

Thanks for any help

Please point me to any docs.

https://github.com/cabernetwork/cabernet/issues/78

yea I do not think that is even the same problem I am having. That user had a somehow botched inI file. What do I need to make it clean and working?

I have installed the plugins; daddy live , TV Guide and m3u.
They appear in the .ini

[m3u]
hdhr_id = 105C04B6
enabled = True
player-tuner_count = 4

[daddylive]
hdhr_id = 105411DA
enabled = True
player-tuner_count = 4
epg-plugin = ALL

[tvguide]
enabled = True

Plugins show as enabled in the INI but not in the GUI

If there is something to be edited , it would be nice to see what needs to be edited and where , but I think the plugin generates the entries in the INI so I assume it is all good.

I see that user has other entries in there but it is hard to extrapolate what might be extraneous.

I think you also need the instance sections:

[daddylive_default]
label = daddylive Instance
enabled = True

[m3u_default]
label = m3u Instance
enabled = False

[tvguide_default]
label = TVGuide Instance
enabled = True

Have been experimenting. Trying to get the FAST IPTV channels into Tvheadend so as to play without locking up when they hit a commercial.

Have had some success and thought I should mention it.

I set all m3u sources to stream_type m3u8redirect
and turn off any other filter (which I would guess do not make any difference in the case of m3u8redirect).

then downloading the playlist for just the m3u section:

wget http://idaddress:6077/M3U/channel.m3u

and process it with this sed command:

sed -i "s|^http|pipe:///usr/bin/env streamlink --stdout --default-stream 2100k,2142k,576p,540p,504p,720p,480p,432p,404p,360p,288p,216p,best --url http|" channels.m3u

then using the resulting file as input for IPTV Automatic Network on Tvheadend.

Some channels work better than others but most work better than any other way I have tried.

Martion that works just fine and thank you for that!

Now I seem to have a problem with Guide data .

It is saying that the egg is not running neither for DaddyLive or my m3u list.

both EPGs say Last Run: Never

I made a daily schedule for my m3u list and it is not running either. I have also restarted to see if they would run at startup but do not

note -instance: None shows for Daddylive instance : Default shows for m3u

The manual start and trash buttons run or delete a task are also not working.

UPDATE
The EPG did finally run and sometimes I can start it manually. It is not however running as a scheduled task.
