vdr-plugin-satip for Debian
---------------------------

This plugin integrates SAT>IP network devices seamlessly into VDR.
You can use any SAT>IP channel like any other normal DVB channel for
live viewing, recording, etc. The plugin also features full section
filtering capabilities which allow for example EIT information to be
extracted from the incoming stream.

Configuration:

The plugin accepts a "devices" (-d) command-line parameter defaulting
to one. This parameter defines how many simultaneous transponders can
be received if there are available SAT>IP tuners.

The plugin accepts also a "--server" (-s) command-line parameter, that
can be used to manually configure static SAT>IP servers if autodetection
via UPnP somehow can't be used. The parameter string is a semicolon
separated list of "||" entries. The model
consists of a DVB system (DVBS2,DVBT2,DVBT,DVBC) and number of available
frontends separated by a hyphen:

vdr -P 'satip -s ||;...'
vdr -P 'satip -s 192.168.0.1|DVBS2-2,DVBT2-2|Octo1'
vdr -P 'satip -s 192.168.0.1|DVBS2-4|Octo1;192.168.0.2|DVBT2-4|Octo2'

Satellite positions shall be defined via sources.conf. If the source
description begins with a number, it's used as SAT>IP signal source
selection parameter. Otherwise, the default parameter is one:

S19.2E  Astra 1KR/1L/1M/2C
=> Signal source = 1

S19.2E  2
=> Signal source = 2

S19.2E  3 Astra 1KR/1L/1M/2C
=> Signal source = 3

Notes:

- The stream id "-1" states about unsuccessful tuning. This might be a
  result of invalid channel parameters or lack of free SAT>IP tuners.

- If the plugin doesn't detect your SAT>IP network device, make sure
  your setup doesn't have firewalled the UDP port 1900.

- Stream decryption requires a separate CAM plugin that works without
  direct access to any DVB card devices. Also the integrated CAM slots
  in Octopus Net devices are supported.

- Tracing can be set on/off dynamically via command-line switch or
  SVDRP command.

- OctopusNet firmware 1.0.40 or greater recommended.

- Inverto OEM firmware 1.17.0.120 or greater recommended.
  The firmware 1.16.0.120 can be downloaded and installed
  from their webpage: http://www.inverto.tv/support/
  An update to a newer firmware should be offered afterwards.
