IPTV not working (3 Viewers)

After weeks of playing around with the php scripts and the your http filter, I am finally able to get the kartina channels loaded successfully into TV Server. The problem I have now is (im guessing) a filter issue. SAF 4 or 5, I get perfect sound but white screen (no video). K-lite Full, in the preview I get no sound and just shows screen shot of channel (doesnt play).

Can you please recommend which filters\codes work best with kartina? In one post u mentioned divx gave best picture, I couldn't get it to work either.

Its funny but DivX filters pack is the only codec set which works with Kartina without packet lost. So - try

Hi All! I have some questions about IPTV in MP. Sometimes some channels in MP channels list stops working. But this not working channels are works best in VLC player. I have m3u playlist (with udp:// channels), wich scans ok with TVserver, but every time after scan I need to change channels names and number manually, anout 160 channels, really annoying, isn't it?
So sometimes channels just stops working, MP says that it can't start timeshifting. In logs I can see, that TV server has timeout waiting for PMT. Here are the logs of TV server attached. Afetr I rescan those not working channels, they appears in channels list as a new channels with new sid and PMT.
Andy ideas of these?

Hi Andrusha777

TV Server should *update* your existing channels, not add new ones. Having said that, the team have made some improvements to scanning - I recommend you try 1.2.0b which should be released on February 24.

So sometimes channels just stops working, MP says that it can't start timeshifting. In logs I can see, that TV server has timeout waiting for PMT. Here are the logs of TV server attached. Afetr I rescan those not working channels, they appears in channels list as a new channels with new sid and PMT.

I can see what you are talking about with the Россия channel in your logs. If your TV provider changes the SID then they are not conforming to the DVB specifications. The specifications say that a channel can be identified by ONID + TSID + SID. If the broadcaster changes the SID then it is technically a different channel. We can compensate if the PMT PID changes, but not the SID...

Have I understood correctly?

mm1352000 thaks fo reply! Yes, that's correctly right! My IPTV provider uses VLC or smth like that to broadcats channels. I can suppose, that SID changes because IPTV provider shares satellite channels, recivied from several different satelities, but the channel at @udp://ip.address is the same one! May be SID changes because IPTV provider can change sattelites for broadcast channels accross the network?
So in IPTV playlist is only way to identify channel - is an IP Addres of this channel.
If in new version TV server would update IPTV channels and not to add new one - it would be great, because renumber and rename all channels after scan takes very long time.

Hi again

Do all the channels change, or only a few?

Hi!

I'm not sure which thread to post in, this or the IP-TV Filter support dev thread. So sorry for the double post.

Anyway, thanks for the great effort by adding rtp support to the IPTV filter. For SD channels everything seems to work OK, but I have some trouble with the HD channels. The IPTV provider is Telenor (Norwegian).

I have described the IPTV streams in this post

My setup is described in this post

The test recording has been performed by manual control in the TV server setup only, so there should not be any codec issues (I use SAF 5.00 btw).

Download link for recorded TS stream: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12465334/NRK1 HD.ts

Log files from TV server are attached. Hopefully the issue with HDTV can be resolved, thanks in advance!

Regards,
PK

I have noticied of changing about few popular channels, about 10-15 may be, and they are usually the same one (wich changing).
I have noticed, that in TV Server channels config i cand add several tuning details in each channel. So if i scans a one IPTV channel several times with different SID, but with same IP, woul TV server try to show it channel with several tuningdetails when SID changes?

Not all SD channels seems to work OK either.
New log file attached. Hope this helps.

EDIT: Some sample ts streams dumped with graphstudio can be download from here. Their dumped with UDP so they wont play back nicely in VLC (dumping using rtp does). The HD channel is scrambled. I don't know how to add mdapi to graphstudio. The ts stream linked in the quote above is not scrambled because the recording is done with manual control in the TV server.

AW: Re: IPTV not working

Hi paalkr,

the broken ts file from your first post looks as if the rtp header weren't removed properly. The filter checks every single packet if the rtp headers are correct. If this check fails for 5 sequent packets, it switches back to raw udp. Perhaps this happens here.

The logs doesn't contain the relevant information to be sure. Please replace your current MPIPTVSource.ax with the debug version from this post. Make a backup first!! Then start TV Server config and start timeshifting in manual control of one of the not working sd channels. Let the timeshift run for about 5 sec and stop it. The debug version creates a log file, please post it here. Don't forget to replace the debug version with your backuped one.

Not all SD channels seems to work OK either.
New log file attached. Hope this helps.

Does this mean that working channels always work and channels not working nerver work? Or is it sometimes working and sometimes not?

Also had a very short look at your dumps. The header in the files look good to me. So we have to wait for the log file.
