Support "weight" parameter in requests
Currently there is no way for minisatip to distinguish "unimportant" adapter usage (such as EPG scanning, mux scanning) from actual adapter usage (streaming a channel). tvheadend has an option to send a "weight" parameter to the SAT>IP server, which can be used to distinguish the nature of the stream.
Currently I have to "proxy" minisatip instances with a tvheadend instance just to get this feature. It would be great if we could implement it in minisatip even though it's not part of the SAT>IP specification.
Hi @Jalle19 ,
Please, could you explain more about this? What's the paremeter and how it works. Perhaps I'll try to implement it. Perhaps the same could be used for my request #908
Regards.
The idea comes from tvheadend, where each "subscription" has a "weight". This means a new subscription can take presedence over an existing one if its weight is higher. This is useful to de-prioritize e.g. EPG scans.
I've since worked around this in a different way so this is in no way critical anymore.
Hi @Jalle19 ,
Thank you for the explanation. Perhaps this could be supported using my proposal described in #1052 ?
Anyway, could you please share a request with the subscription weight using TVHE? I want to see how it pases the data over the SAT>IP request. Or it is only supported using other protocols?
IIRC it's weight=X, where X is between 1 and 200. 100 is standard streaming.
