Hi everyone,

I just bought a Sat>ip server for my network und I just found out, that a Sat>ip plugin is not in the feed.
Am I missing something, is Openpli not comparible with it or can I just download the plugin from aother feed?
I realize that remotestreamconvert plugin was once recommended for that, but I want to get the sat>ip as an additional tuner so remotestreamconvert is ruled out.
Can anyone help me on this one?
TIA

Hmm, very sad, no reply...

It seems since ATV, Vuplus and VTI support it, I probably have to switch.

I'll miss OpenPli since I am using it for years. We'll see how that goes.

Cheers

Someone needs to fork the code, compile it, test it, which is a bit difficult if you have nothing to test with...

[Erik Slagter]

Actually both a SAT>IP client and server have been in the feed for some time now.

[WanWizard]

Ah, didn't know that. So, no issue then.

[Erik Slagter]

I didn't understood the fuss anyway.

I've searched all plugins, but could not find a sat>ip plugin. (ET9500, version today)

There is no graphical plugin to setup the client, you need to configure it from the command line.

For example, this is how I start the client:

satip-client -s 192.168.0.10 -t 0 &

where 192.168.0.10 is the SAT>IP server and -t 0 means DVB-S2.

package name is satipclient, without hyphen...

(a bit of inconsistency in naming, it seems )

That did the trick:

Well, what am I missing?
Today I searched the plugins again and I found that a satip-client plugin is available.
I installed it and it found the satip server on my network.
After I configured the vtuners on my vuplus duo the STB prompted for a restart.
Unfortunately after that there where nor additional Tuners in the tuner setting.
What am I missing? Is it not yet functional?
BTW my vuplus solo2 showed 4 vtuners which I could connect to my satip server. After the resart no new tuners either.
I simply cant get it to work.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA

Please save setup

and

in telnet

cat /etc/vtuner.conf

[umtauscher]

here you go:

This is the vtuner.conf from the solo2

Erik's satip-client doesn't use vtuner.conf . As I said, you have to run it from the console, or setup a startup script.

[umtauscher]

Thanks for your answer, but I really can't understand.
There is a plugin that does all the configuration and the client chooses to ignore it? I am greatful for your hint.

When I start the satipclient nothing happens either.
When do you suppose it should be started?

Forgive me, but since when is a STB something that needs to be configured form a linux shell?

I would define this as simply not functioning.
Sorry.

Since the enigma2 plugin is now in the feed, I would suggest to also use the oe-alliance satip-client, which is compatible with that plugin.

Erik's work was just a proof of concept. If you want to use it, you should make an init script. satip-client should run before enigma2 starts.

 

It is functioning, it is just not user friendly. I would call it "hacker friendly" as it is. But it does function, I personally use it.

understand, it is necessary to add this

Thanks, I can understand proof of concept.

I will try tonight and hope since the UI is already in place it's not so difficult to make the satipclient compatible with the config file.

Thanks again

And as the proof of concept was quite disappointing (as you will learn as well), I stopped working on it. Beside the UI it's complete though. And I didn't write it, I just adapted it.
