Hello. I was wondering if a server version of OpenPLi could exist and work.
I'm not sure how much control the openwebif interface I've seen gives, but I thought maybe that could be how it was managed.
The idea is an alternative to TVHeadend. TVHeadend honestly works great... It does so much more than I would ever need, but really falls short for me when it comes to channel mapping and epg mapping. From what I have seen enigma2 and OpenPLi do this much better.
Stupid idea? Good idea?

If by that you mean a central box with lots of tuners in a cupboard doing all your recording, and tunerless streaming clients for watching TV (or recordings / streams ) using a tuner of that box, the answer is yes, several of us have been using such an environment for years...

Yes that is exactly what I am talking about but instead of buying a "box", using an x86 based PC instead.
I have seen a couple of old projects that attempt to get enigma2 running on a PC, but they all seem to be aimed at people who want to watch on a PC.
I'd like a one size fits all headless build with web gui for config. I'm not sure how complex that would be?

There is a topic about EnigmaPC here on the forum, but no idea what the status is, Not our cup of tea, really...
Also, I wonder how efficient and effective it will be, I have 16 SAT tuners in my core box, how do you get that in an x86 machine, and at what cost?

Sounds like an awesome setup.
A lot of people already have home servers. Mine runs the surveillance, tv, plex and all the torrent automation stuff with sonarr, radarr etc.
Adding tuners to a PC can be as cheap as the official xbox one dvb-t/c usb tuners... or even less if you go with a direct from china no brand. Satellite gets more expensive... My quad TBS card cost as much as a decent box. BUT it means only one device is running all of my services (and is way more powerful). If you don't already have a home server, absolutely just buy a box and run it as a server.
I have seen topics on enigma2 PC, but they seem to be very old.

Would the OpenPli team consider making a docker image?

I doubt it, we're not interested in "PC" versions at all...

In which box do you have 16 tuners ??
Enigma is getting old....

VU Duo 4K, tuners A to P.
You can go two more with an Ultimo 4K, which has a third tuner slot for legacy dual tuners...

Well if you really needed that many tuners you could pick up a couple of TBS 6909s

Not really the same (as it has 8 individual inputs), and at $ 239.00 a pop, not really an incentive to go for an x86 solution.

As far as incentive goes, adding the sat stuff to an existing home server is more appealing to a lot of people. Tvheadend exists and works great, but options are always nice.

In theory, all you'd need to do is add meta-intel to the BSP submodules and build for an intel board... Whether it'll actually work mostly depends on DVB support in Intel hardware...
