Remote Tuner¶

In some cases, the development might be more effective, if the problematic live streams can be used directly through internet. It may apply for EPG, but also for other real-time data processing.

SAT>IP Server - Minisatip¶

Setup minisatip https://github.com/catalinii/minisatip and forward only the RTSP port (usually TCP port 554) outside. We can use the embedded MPEG-TS data in the RTSP session, so this only port forwarding is sufficient. Contact the developer through PM to obtain the IP address which will be used for the debugging.

Example - run on foreground, RTSP on TCP port 5544, enable only /dev/dvb/adapter2:

minisatip -f -y 5544 -e 2

SAT>IP Server - Tvheadend¶

You can also enable the SAT>IP server directly in the tvheadend. But (to not stack the possible problems), the minisatip SAT>IP server is preferred.
