Maybe it's easy for you but I don't get it. Thank you anyway.

It's very simple, I have a group of channels that only the administrator of the TV server sees, that is, only me. This group of channels, which are very few, are each on a different satellite and are only managed by hdstar tuner because it can move the antenna. The rest of the channels are managed by the SAT>IP server, which cannot move the antenna.
So, you tune to one of those channels to have the hdstar move the dish then use the sat>ip server to watch them? What if you want to watch the channel assigned to the hdstar?
Vbox TV Gateway tuners: Search the internet
Thank you, I did, apart from the price, I'd have the same problem than with a sat>ip server: I couldn't use it to move my dish.

I only use geniatech/mygica hdstar to move the antenna rotor. To watch satellite TV I only use my old SAT>IP Digibit-R1 which cannot move the rotor.
How do you do that? Maybe I can adapt your solutions to my needs (I move the dish with an arduino and I patched tvheadend to send commands to the arduino)
Vbox TV Gateway tuners for LE.
What's that?

Nobody has any experience with the geniatech/mygica hdstar?
-
Yes, I'm a dinosaur
That's why I don't want to go on the roof:
- I'm old and slow
- I don't want to change a working setup (it cost me a great deal to align the dish almost 30 years ago, when I was young and fast
)
-
Not really: it cannot do this
Yes, I could do that in the client, but the code path is different and I'd have to devise a different patch.
In that case, the cost/benefit ratio points towards an enigma2 box instead
-
Yes, I keep hearing that, but until my box broke everything was fine. There's no box with integrated tuner currently supported by libreelec/coreelec, but I don't see why an usb adapter (which is older than dirt) wouldn't work. If libreelec isn't an option (though I see many sbc on the download page) maybe armbian would do.
It's a cost/benefit thing (I used another word but it's not allowed): I'm familiar with linux/kodi/tvheadend, so I'd prefer a solution with those components, while an enigma2 box (linux based but with many proprietary parts) would be relatively cheap (50€ for a basic box, 100€ for one capable of running kodi).
-
I'm in the same boat (ki pro recently broken) but sadly I see that there's no current device with integrated dvb-s2 (I'm not interested in t2) that's supported by libreelec (there's the mecool kt1 but it's not supported Edit: there's also the k5, equally unsupported).
I'm considering jumping ship to an enigma2 box, but maybe some sbc (orange pi? raspberry pi?) can work with libreelec and an usb adapter (the mygica hdstar is relatively cheap but I'm not sure it's good).
Any advice?
-
No, it's not an rpi, it's a tv box based on the amlogic S905D
-
Not sure what you mean by disabled
but the last time I looked it was a bit confusing..
so it's not just me
-
Sorry, I was referring to (what I think is) real time transcoding of live tv (stream profiles/codec profile) in order to serve lower bitrate content to mobile devices connected to cellular data. I never managed to configure that in tvheadend, I'm not sure it's possible at all on a tv box (e.g. the "webtv-h264" codec profile is disabled and cannot be enabled).
-
Spawning ffmpeg for stream transcode
Please, tell me more (the only stream profile I ever managed to use is "pass")
-
at the moment TVHeadend appears to be a dead project.
I'm not following the project, but the last commit has been just two weeks ago.

Right, I forgot about the dvbapi plugin. Well, one way or another it didn't work
but now I got used to tvheadend (though I still miss some of the feautures of vdr, like the plain text configuration files). -
vdr itself is in good shape
I've been using vdr since 2004 on a dedicated pc. I also wrote a plug-in to control an old style jack.
When I finally switched to a tv box with dvb-tuner around two years ago (at a fraction of the size, noise, cost, electricity consumption and with much better performance), the idea was to use vdr. Unfortunately on this hardware it didn't play well with oscam (which I need for a legit card with an usb reader) so I had to use tvheadend (and push a patch to control my actuator
).Just FYI.

From a quick look at their github it seems they are using the upstream media_build
I was wrong, no trace of amlogic frontends in media_build/media_tree. I'll have to study from which repo the overlay is built. Or just sit back, relax, and enjoy tv
-
What's your friend box?
I have a mecool k1 pro (availink 6862)

Yes, I've been reading your messages about it, but since the main purpose of this box is to watch satellite tv I have no other option than to use the old 9.0.something libreelec (which I did until yesterday) or coreelec. From a quick look at their github it seems they are using the upstream media_build for the dvb drivers (albeit an old version) with almost no patches (just to disable several modules). With libreelec I had to use the built-in drivers, the media_build one didn't work (the reverse is true with coreelec).
