Say>ip & tvheadend multiple channels

Added by Ben Shady 12 months ago

Hello everyone this is my first post here in the community and I’m really not sure if I’m posting in the right forum.

I have a question of how to configure tvheadend to be able to play multiple streams at the same time.

But before that let me tell you how far I got until now.

I have installed and configured tvheadend 4.3 on my Ubuntu 22.4 LTS OS and then create a new IPTV network and paste my sat>ip m3u link in it to get the channels.

Everything is good now I can watch all the channels using VLC or even Jellyfin it works perfectly.

However if I try to play two channels at the same time the first channel will stop streaming while the second channel is playing.

Q: is there any trick or workaround to make more than one channel streaming at the same time?

Depends on how many streams your provider allows, if you have a single subscription, you will only ever be able to have one stream available at a time.
If you have more than one subscription, configure>dvd inputs> networks>edit and change Maximum # input streams: to however many streams you have subscribed.

Thank you for your reply sir.

Based on your instructions I have edit the maximum input stream of my iptv network which in default was 1 this allow only one stream at a time.

I did change it two 2 just for testing but here comes the issue if I play the second channel the first channel will freeze and stop working even though I can see the first channel stream still working on Status section but with 0 bandwidth

PS: I did set maximum input stream to 0 which from my understanding it allows unlimited stream through my network.

I have been searching around the forums for a related issue and I found that if I have only one tuner then I only can stream one channel at the time but does that include sat>up ? I’m not using dvb s or dvb t. Only attached the sat>Ip m3u link to the network.
