Using the fallback tuner you can pull channel lists and EPG towards you as well. The main difference with RemoteStreamConverter is that the last one works per bouquet, the fallbacks copies the entire channel list.

 

I maintain my list on a box with both S and T tuners, and all others use the fallback mechanism to pull this channel list towards them. They pull EPG from my livingroom box which runs EPGrefresh and EPGimport.

 

As to authenication, there is a "Customize OpenWebIf settings for fallback tuner". Set it to yes, and you can define a username, password and/or alternative port number.

how did you "upgrade" the OpenWebif? Expierincing the same issue here but don't want to flash a new image.

 

I copy files from here https://github.com/E...eads/master.zip and put them  in user/lib/enigma2.....

 

What would be the purpose of using a root password for use of the fallback feature?

 

I just want to known if the root password enabled is a problem for the falback tuner.

[WanWizard]

No, not as long as you configure the password on the client box.

[dudule22]

And if the password is on the server box ?

[WanWizard]

This is about the server box. The client needs to know it has to pass a username and password in the request to the server?

I never see that, i need to search.

[WanWizard]

It is in the fallback tuner settings, on the client, towards the bottom.

[dudule22]

Yes, i find it.

 

I can transfer the channels groups if i select only channels and not channels and EPG because there is an error to transfer epg.dat file (probably because it is on the HDD).

 

If i select a channel, i have a black screen and an error like "tuning problem".

 

It work fine with RemoteStreamConverter.

I have a new Edision and i do another try.and it works with he the falback tuner.

There is a bug if channels and EPG are selected it works only with channels selected.

[dudule22]

All is not perfect. There is an error "tuning failed" on TNT channels (coming from DUO4K).

 

There is also a bug on osmio 4k+ on the last option on the fallback tuner. This option talk about fallback tnt tuner but it is impossible to save these parameters.

 

Tested on the last Openpli 8.0.

[dudule22]

Falback tuner working good for sat channels and no working for TNT channels.

 

The falback tuner last option isn't activated because it is impossible to save it. (see picture)

 

I don't know if this option is necessary for TNT channels.

[dudule22]

No problem to see TNT channels with OpenWebif from DUO4K. (If it can help)

[WanWizard]

There shouldn't be any difference between an Edision and a VU+, the software is the same on both of them (assuming the same image version).

[dudule22]

Is there any news to have TNT2 channels working using falback tuner ?

 

Server is DUO4K (OpenPLI develop last release)

 

Client is osmio4k+ (Openpli 8.0 last release) Fallback tuner

 

2 bugs in falback tuner

 

- impossible to activate the last option alternative url DVB T

- impossible to import channels and EPG, only channels is working

[WanWizard]

Have you tried installing develop  on the osmio4k+ as well? If code needs to be fixed, it will always be done on a develop, not on a release image.

[Pr2]

Be carefull if you use the fallback tuner your channel list is replaced by the one from the server!  And you original channel list is restored only when the fallback tuner is not reachable.

 

I have face this problem with my 1st DVB-S2X STB I define on as fallback tuner a STB which can only perform DVB-S2, so in my channel list I no longer see the DVB-S2X channels. This turns me crazy, until I realize what fallback tuner is doing so I stop using it. 

 

Fallback tuner is only nice and useful if you want to use the client as a tuner less receiver, if you want to use both your local tuner and fallback tuner it is a mess.

[WanWizard]

I scan on a box with S, C and T tuners, and use that as the source for channels in the fallback config. And use another box for EPG and streams. I haven't tried different URL's for C and T yet (pointing directly to my scan box).

[dudule22]

@PR2 ; I saw this problem, i only use falback tuner.

 

@ WanWizard : I will do a test with the last openpli develop release on Osmio..(With Openpli 8.0 release, WLAN is better on Osmio)

[dudule22]

Test with openpli develop (last release 03/08/2021) :

 

- Falback tuner works fine on tnt channels

- import channels and EPG works fine.

- impossible to save the last option alternative url DVB T (i don't known what is it for)

 

A big bug in DVBS  tuner when you want to save the settings (enigma2 crash)

 

On WLAN network, only 5 GHz is detected.
