Of course, in practice there are limitations: A limited network bandwidth, a limited number of tuners, limited CPU power.Īn important guideline: If the Media Server is involved, it should be the only one that accesses DVB hardware (your VU+) directly. Their number is unlimited, which means, in theory you can receive as many IPTV channels simultaneously as you want. They won't show up in Options -> Hardware -> Devices. By default these devices are created by DVBViewer and the DMS dynamically on demand. It is handled by virtual TS Stream Devices that establish a network connection. This reception type is called ' TS Stream'. For DVBViewer and the DMS there is no difference between servers in the internet and servers in your home network. We'll come back to it later.įirst some basic facts: What you are doing is a kind of IPTV. This is particularly required for the DMS background EPG update, that will not work 'out of the box', because you must know what you do when using it for the 'Stream' reception type. Some disadvantages can be mitigated by configuring DVBViewer and the Media Server appropriately. It always gets the whole stuff, video, audio etc, which causes an unnecessary network load.

As another consequence, the DMS background EPG update function can't request EPG data only. Data that is not included by the server (e.g. They have no influence on what is sent by the server.

Furthermore, since DVBViewer and the Media Server don't know how many tuners are available in the VU+, they can't mark overlapping timer recordings as 'not executable' if there are not enough tuners for them.ĭVBViewer and the Media Server can't request DVB data selectively. Please note: In contrast to a DVB device or a Sat>IP server as data source, there are certain drawbacks when using VU+ HTTP URLs:ĭVBViewer and the Media Server can't figure out which (URL-referenced) channels are located on the same transponder (frequency), or with other words, they can't determine which channels can be received simultaneously without using an additional tuner. Then we'll see what else may be necessary. After that, the channels should show up in the web interface.įirst try to get this done. Recent Media Server versions (on the same PC) adopt a changed DVBViewer channel list as soon as it gets saved in DVBViewer or DVBViewer is closed. Additionally the DVBViewer Channel Auto-Update will complete the channel data by auto-detecting the parts that are not contained in the M3U file (as you can see on the right side of the Channel Editor). Select a channel by double-clicking it in the Channel Editor. Import the M3U file into the DVBViewer Channel Editor (see TV/Radio menu) by drag & drop on the server PC. I have no VU+, but as far as I know the basic steps areĮxport an M3U channel list from your VU+. Search with Google for site: VU+ for finding them. There are several posts about this topic, but almost all of them are German. Is it possible to use VU+ zero 4k as a dvb_s receiver and receive channels to DVBViewer media server?
