For LiveTV viewing, i need some luck

[SPowe 0]

Hi,

i am using an exip 418 fw 1.0.9 from kathrein with the below m3u list (https://www.satip.info/resources/channel-lists/).

If i want to playback a tv channel i get the following error:

I disabled transcoding, as my server with the emby jail has not much computing power.

I get following error in the  log:

But if i am opening the link where emby says its an 404 err "rtsp://192.168.8.70/?src=1&freq=12188&pol=h&ro=0.35&msys=dvbs&mtype=qpsk&plts=off&sr=27500&fec=34&pids=0,17,18,166,128,46,68" in vlc, the stream plays asap without any problems. You`ve gaot any ideas how to solve this ?

 

Cheers,

Sascha

Any help is appreciated. I am using the stable container. Does a switch to unstable emby on truenas help?

Hi, 

i am trying to get LiveTV with an EXIP 418 from Kathrein working with emby. I tried alot, nothing really helped. But out of knowhere i got it one time working.

I attached the emby log and 2 ffmpeg logs (no transcoding). As you can see, my lucky punch was logged in ffmpeg-transcode-c235984d-9d8a-4e6c-b8ad-65638820a5ae_1: the LiveTV Stream played ONCE in my Chrome Browser. And it took at least 30 seconds until it started - but it started.

I tried it once again (switch to another channel an back) and i get the usual behaviour again (2nd ffmpeg logfile), which happens 99% of the time:  stream cannot be played:

 

Please give me some hints, how to make LiveTV viewing possible, reliable and switching faster. VLC needs 2 seconds to start the stream (url copied from ffmpeg logs).

Kind Regards

Sascha

Hi, does the exip only support rtsp output or does it have options for other protocols?

[samsung2100 21]

Try the channels I sent you with the guide data as well and let me know if it plays fine for you, please do not post that list in main forum thanks.

Hi Luke,

i asked the vendor - waiting for an qualified answer.

The portscan on the device revealed port 80, 111 (rpcbind) and 554 (rtsp) are open.

The webfrontend lets me setup only lnb and major network parameters - nothing ts stream specific.

Cheers

That would be great, let us know what you find. Thanks.

Good Day,

I had a similar problem a few months back and it was because my VPN was set to a US area. I then changed it to a non-US area, and it is still working fine. Don't know if that is your issue as well but I just thought I would put it out there. Cheers!!!

So i started again trying to get it work on a truenas scale emby container (the "official" version, not truecharts).

Now i got an Octopus NET SL SX8, which exports a not "so well formed"-m3u. But i managed to get a testchannel recognized by emby. And again, it failed streaming.

 

I tested around and found one strange behaviour, which should give a hint:

I can ping the octopusnet from the docker-container`s shell. 

I try to use ffprobe from the command line in the docker container. And i get a timeout/error after >30 seconds - thats the same duration like emby to get an error msg:

/ # ffprobe "rtsp://octopusnet:554/?src=1&freq=11347&pol=v&msys=dvbs2&sr=22000&pids=0,16,17,18,20,6500,6510,6520,6521,6522,6523,6531,6530"

Server returned 4XX Client Error, but not one of 40{0,1,3,4}

  If i am using this on my windows host i get a fast answer:

So - my question: are there some ports automatically blocked on TrueNas Scale running official emby container ? Do i have to enabel port 554 anywhere ? ICMP and http/https seems open at default... 

 

@ErikaJ: i am using a Sat>IP converter in my local LAN with a local dish - so the are nor area limitations for me which i would solve with a vpn. thx for feedback anyways.  

[Luke 37010]

Is rtsp still your only option? It doesn't support http output?

[Luke 37010]

@SPowe?
