So we all know there is already built in stream relay functionality in the nightly image.

 

We also know that when stream relay is active the channels in ChannelSelection screen got grayed out due to the specifics for the stream relay.

 

Also there is no frontend info due to that it handle it like a PVR channel.

 

So i made a cpp extensions and all above problems are gone. And stream relay channel have all its info.

 

We are still in testing and if not problems we will propose a PR here as well.

I was also looking to this one. There is also another issue the fake service ref I would like to get rid of. Maybe we should not create a caid stuff for it. But I currently have lack of time. Thanks in advance.
I hope not a cpp extension like a so file but more cpp l code adapted
Please note I was waiting for a year to find this as my first change for the streamrelay stuff I recently committed was already a year old. But stuck on these details.
The special bouquet is a quick and dirty work-a-round. Instead of the whitelist file we can also consider to set flags in lamedb. But this will never be compatible with channel editors.

Is it possible I can see a sneak peak?

[littlesat]

Found it… also the fix https://github.com/O...848df66303c634a
But did you also cover when a remote server box does initiate a stream relay?

As far I can see it may resolve all the issues I experienced and why I withhold this for a year (and maybe those who developed stream relay at the powervu time get stuck on the work a round of the special bouquet)

And for me such things as ignore_sr you may write fully ignore_stream_relay as that is better self clarifying code.

I am not sure about how it will behave with remote server as stream relay. But it takes the settings in the enigma config so it should handle it in my opinion.

[littlesat]

I’ll check as soon it is in and report to you.

[DimitarCC]

OK. Thanks. But it will need some time test to be over.

[DimitarCC]

So here it is the pull for that.

[littlesat]

Thanks…. Nice you needed to rename something due to duplicate and then suddenly the variable get a self explaining name

This breaks the fallback tuner stuff at least for in the context menu in the channel selection you do not have all the options anymore (like add to stream relay bouquet etc...) + when you have the fallback it does not start to play at all.... At least on a remote client it is not stable at all..... so work to do... I'm afraid the detection is not properly. For the tuner stuff you need to check if it is local host in the http (127.0.0.1) and the correct port and when the ip is different no special handling is needed. Then you also do not need to check the IP or so.....

 

For the local box....

It still gives a new free tuner message when you zap e.g. from SyFy HD to ARD.... But in the channel list the channel becomes indeed white...

 

Sounds there is a lot more work to do here...

 

 

I just merged a commit regarding a GSOD due a a config import was missing.

For the messages for errors on zap from stream relay to another normal channel there is different part of the code that is not commited yet to pli.

 

Stay tuned for that.

This i can not confirm nor fix since i can not test with fallback tuners.

There is detection for stream relay IP and Port if that is not in sref nothing is done.

Here it is fix for that part.

[littlesat]

Thanks... sorry as in the skin thread the same discussion was started... all seems to be fine now....

I still do not like the delay... but I'm afraid for now this is what we can do....  

[DimitarCC]

Regarding your question can we detect when tuner is freed...Well i will investigate that. But for now we have to stick with the workaround till we find a way to detect it.

[littlesat]

Yes exactly.... for now it is fine. Actually the issue is understood. The solution currently offered is not optimal.... so when there is time this needs to be further investigated... but maybe we still need 'just' a comment in the code that indicates why this is done by a timer.... 

[DimitarCC]

Yes that way is the best for now imho.

From plain oscam 11735, (i.e without emu), stream relay support for the German channels has been added. The implementation is different to what was added to the emu-version which was coupled with powervu.  As the Stream relay changes were done to work in tandem with the emu-version, perhaps the changes can be looked at again for any possible improvements/simplifications.

[WanWizard]

We've noticed, it uses libdvbdca, and doesn't build at the moment, we're working on it.

[Dimitrij]

There are problems when using the motor and stream relay services.

The window with the rotor moving is not visible or visible for a couple of seconds.

Enigma2 immediately after switching(stream relay service) believes that the service can be decoded, although the motor has not yet reached the desired position.
