Hi,

We want to comment after reviewing the commit “satip server: increase the signal level strenght for the uknown state”:
https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/repository/revisions/63024099252c62553baef05f1b2d3c3aed22e865

We like to publish one simple patch to “improve” (not to fix) the signal level from IPTV sources reported to SAT>IP clients.

This is the patch (SATIP_IPTV_tunning_fix-patch.diff):

   }

   tvhtrace("satips", "rtp queue %p", rtp);

It sets signal quality and strength to nearly 100%.

We understand why the original developer has used a lower value. With a very low value you can check in the client the real source of the stream. So, if you mix “real” tuners with IPTV sources, then good frequencies with a very low signal are IPTV.

However, we think it’s better to leave the user to decide if his like to use an “special” signal value or “regular” (~100%) signal for IPTV sources. Then, we suggest to add one configuration integer value for selecting the “SAT>IP Signal Strength for IPTV sources”.

In any case, if you like to use our patch, feel free to use it.

Regards,
D.
