Traction Tim 11 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hi guys, I have used DVBLink with Emby for some years now. DVBLink allowed me to combine feeds from terrestrial tv, a fixed satellite dish, and a Diseqc motorised dish, which could then be fed into Emby using the DVBLink plug-in. Unfortunately DVBLink has now been superseded by TV-Mosaic, which doesn't have Diseqc. I have asked on the TV-Mosaic forum if it is in their plans to add it, but have had no response in months. I don't want to "update" to TV-Mosaic until it can drive my motorised dish. The TV_Mosaic forum seems rather quiet.... So, the question is, are there any other Win10 programs that can be used (With TBS tuners) to combine all of these feeds, and give me full Diseqc (Or USALS) control of my dish ? As I understand it, Emby cannot directly do this - am I correct ? What options do I have ? Merry Christmas, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37252 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 @t.andre, do you know the answer to this? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traction Tim 11 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 To be specific, I am after Win10 programs that can do the same as DVBLink to serve up all of my live tv to Emby, while also having motorised dish Diseqc/USALS capabilities.

I don’t use diseqc but I’ve seen it mentioned in my configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t.andre 69 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hi, I don’t know if other software can control Diseqc devices. I will continue to update DVBLink and TVMosic plugins for emby. For information I still use DVBLink because some functionality is not yet implemented in TVMosaic, for example the web server. Chers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traction Tim 11 Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) And also DVBViewer. Ooh, I have a 2011 era license for DVBViewer Pro if that still works. Next problem could be that I'm using a TBS5990 dual S2 USB receiver (Two separate S2 receivers in one box). Presently both receivers are individually controlled by DVBLink (One side to a fixed dish, the other side to a motorised dish) and I don't suppose I can split the TBS5990 between DVBLink and DVBViewer as it uses ONE USB lead. Extra thought: The TBS5990 replaced a PCI-e S2 TBS card. That could be re-fitted for DVBViewer use. It's techy play time. Merry Christmas all t.andre: Thank you for a fabulous plug in. Edit1: DVBViewer can indeed see the two halves of the TBS5990. I have released tuner 'A' from DVBLink, and have used it with DVBViewer. I can indeed use DVBLink and DVBViewer on the TBS5990 at the same time, and DVBViewer does have extended Diseqc control.

Traction Tim 11 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 This has gone fairly well. I have managed to get DVBViewer and the Media Server working in Emby. Just one question really: DVBViewer splits channels up per satellite, and the Emby plug-in only allows you to choose one satellite. Is there any way to get more than one satellite into Emby ? What I want to do, is have a list of favourite channels and choose from that. One channel may be on 13E Hotbird, and another on 28.2E Astra etc. so the dish will automatically track to the required satellite. Can I do this with DVBViewer and the plug-in ?

Traction Tim 11 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Thank you ! I had forgotten how I enjoy feed hunting with a motorised dish. Not easy with DVBLink, but DVBViewer and an occasional Blind Scan is bringing them in Happy New Year !!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
