Hi, I remember that Rolf always does suggest to use "OctopusNet" or "minisatip" as device name. So your definition is recommended to look like this: --server=192.168.1.21|DVBS2-4|OctopusNet1;192.168.1.20|DVBS2-2,DVBT2-2|Octop usNet2 The other stuff, hmm, I don't know, as the plugin follows quite straight the SAT>IP specifications. Your add-on is maybe the point to discuss with the original author Rolf.

Before looking at the code of the satip-plugin I thought that I could limit magically the created (virtual) satipDevices to the Sources assigned to them via the diseqc.conf. > You may use a workaround by using CAID field for specific adapter: > > https://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Syntax_of_channels.conf#CA_- > _Conditional_access Yeah, no, I don't like this. > But I do not now if it is possible to cover more than 4 devices and no > good idea how to tie a SAT>IP device always to the same number. As said above, I dug into the code and saw that nothing can be done with standard vdr-config-files. Neither diseqc.conf nor sources.conf can help. However, I added some code and now it works as I wanted it to work. I did this by adding a Source-member to the satipFrontend created by satipServer and in satipFrontend::Assign() I additionally check whether the requested source can be delivered by this frontend. In my environment, where I have one VDR which will use all satip-devices, this is exactly what I need. Now, how to get that correctly done? Automatic detection? I haven't seen any option on the Octopus-device that would help the satip-plugin to identify automatically the source/input when it does the discovery. So, I'd opt for the command-line-parameter-option: I'd add an additional parameter to the plugin which will assign the correct source to the satipFrontend. Which would only work if the -s-option is given. Maybe it could be even part of the -s-option.. Let's try: --server=192.168.1.21|DVBS2-4|Octo1;192.168.1.20|DVBS2-2,DVBT2-2|Octo2 becomes --server=192.168.1.21|DVBS2-4|Octo1|S19.2E,S19.2E,S19.2E,S19.2E; \ 192.168.1.20|DVBS2-2,DVBT2-2|Octo2|S28.2E,S28.2E,T,T Looks good to me. I'll try that. This will surely work, however, right now, the satip-plugin does not use the fe=-parameter the RTSP-URL for that. So even with this syntax, it won't be possible to mix different satellites on _one_ Octopus NET. Like '[..]Octo2|S28.2E,S19.2E,S28.2E,S19.2E' wouldn't work without changing the URL-creation-method. It even looked like that the URL is created before the satipFrontend is chosen. That would have to be changed. best regards, -- Patrick Boettcher _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx https://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
