Translate from one delivery system to another (e.g. DVB-C -> DVB-S2)

[engalaaodeh]

Hi,

I need to ask you if possible to create proxy if we need to forward the request from dvb s2 frequency to dvb c other frequency possible or not and if you can add this option please ?

Best Regards

we have it since a long time already on the wish list, someone is needed to implement it https://github.com/catalinii/minisatip/issues/221

you can try to use "satpi" which has some basic support https://github.com/Barracuda09/SATPI

Yes, this other opensource SAT>IP server has this functionality implemented (and it's not basic, as you can remap from ANY source, including virtual inputs, to DVB-S/S2). In fact, I'm using it in my environment in this way:

                                   +-----> satpi (with translation) <---> DVB-C/T tuner
Panasonic TV <------> minisatip <--|
                                   +-----> SAT>IP server (STB) <---> DVB-S2 antenna

So, you can use it now. Not needed (aka required) to implement this inside minisatip. However, if someone likes to do it... :wink:

Regards.

Hi @lars18th, by chance/time can you may write a litle howto or provide a example config CU 9000h

Sorry I can’t use satpi because we can’t compare your development on Minisatip with any other tool :)

Hi @9000h ,

It's described inside the SATPI project! The mapping.m3u file contains examples, and I'm working on provide more examples with virtual inputs. Check the issues!

Anyway you need to use the minisatip functionality that I implemented in #736 time ago. So if you have one SAT>IP DVB-S2 tuner and one SAT>IP DVB-C/T tuner, then the first will be directly drived by minisatip; but the second one is "attached" to the satpi process. And when starting the minisatip process you assign 3 sources to the DVB-S2 tuner, and the remaining one to the satpi process (the drawback is that you can only use three different orbital positions directly). Then, any request from a final SAT>IP client for the SRC=x will be translated to the DVB-C/T mapping. I'm using this without troubles for a large time, and it works like a charm (and very fast!).

Hi @engalaaodeh ,

Sorry I can’t use satpi because we can’t compare your development on Minisatip with any other tool :)

I think you misunderstood my suggestion: Inside the same server you can run minisatip and satpi at the same time. The first uses the default 554 port and will serve the SAT>IP requests from clients. Futhermore to the attached tuners, this server can use remote SAT>IP tuners. And one of these tuners can be the second process. So, it's the second one that translates the signal from a DVB-C tuner to standard DVB-S SAT>IP requests. So, you only need to compile and configure both to run inside the same server.

I hope this helps you!

Tvheadend can probably do this too

Hi @Jalle19 ,

No with the same flexibility. I used TVH for some time, and I prefer to use software that works only as SAT>IP server for the objective of remap sources of different networks.

[Jalle19]

"tvheadend" and "not flexible" is an oxymoron :smile:

[lars18th]

"tvheadend" and "not flexible" is an oxymoron

Yeah! :rofl: But, in fact, TVH has some limitations. For example, it's very focused on "services", so every program inside a TS requires to be procesed. So, if you only want to provide TS (aka MPTS) from some source transparently you will see some limitations. For example TVH wants every time to parse the source and it searches for EIT. Belive me: only for doing a simple delivery system translation it's preferable to use a more simple software... :wink:

Regarda.

Can we close this?

Can we close this?

Please, NO. This is a very interesting functionality. Other similar project have implemented it.
