OpenDCT: An open source digital cable tuner.

[technazz]

Im getting OPEN DTC locking up once or twice a week I have to restart it to fix it.Below is whats in the log. It goes on and on until I restart open DTC. I was away on business for a while and the WAF when way low .

Im using a streaming executable and it looks like its having trouble stopping. I don't have a stopping executable do I need one?

Thx Chris

Anyone know of there's another plugin/method to get an IPTV source into Sage? Either OpenDCT or Sage is choking on the streams and there doesn't seem to be any way to diagnose what the problem is, so it looks like I need a different solution.

Would this apply?

Yeah, that's what doesn't work.

I've actually been having rather good luck so far with the generic HTTP streaming. On a previous provider, the streams were more hit/miss and for any that were problematic, I had to use generic PIPE with FFMPEG reencoding. The IPTV thing has been more of an experiment/proof of concept but is now supplying some channels otherwise unavailable to me. OpenDCT has proven to be quite flexible.

The setup is a lot more complicated with SageTV than a Kodi/STB implementation but allows for a better end result and transparent integration into my original SageTV implementation.

The biggest gotchas for me involved the EPG. You need an XMLTV source and have to manually add the XMLTV import plug-in. I also had to write a utility to postprocess the XMLTV data since SageTV doesn't know what an MUI file is and therefore no concept of the "tvg-shift" field for per channel time-zone modification. At least I didn't see a way of doing this via the xmltv.properties file of the XMLTV importer.

Actually no Need for this. I use schedules Direct EPG service just add several Providers (I use SKY, DIRECTV, BELL) and then just use the zap2it id to manually add in the channel and I get over 600+ channels with full guide from multiple providers.

There is a need for it unless I misunderstand you. I'm in the PDT time-zone. An IPTV service may provide channels in multiple time zones that aren't available in your DMA. I start off with using two providers in Schedules Direct - Comcast and OTA in my own zipcode because Comcast doesn't pick up all of the local OTA. Now maybe an IPTV stream has something that's on Dish and then something different that's only on DirecTV. So now I'm at 4 lineups without even getting out of my zipcode. I thought that each video source could only be given one Schedules Direct zipcode so you end up creating duplicate sources to get around this limitation.

So now maybe there are some channels that are broadcast from different time zones. There are national channels with eastern feeds and western feeds so now I need a zipcode on the East coast. Want to watch some Canadian channels then you need to add BELL; same thing for SKY.

XMLTV was a way of adding one video source and then pairing it with one XMLTV feed. I could change the timezone via the per channel tvg-shift post-processing of the XMLTV file. I'm using IPTV-EPG for that file at the moment. I only chose that option when the number of guide providers for Schedules Direct looked to be an issue and that I thought it would require duplicate video sources because of the 1:1 provider mapping. I suspect that the guide data of Schedules Direct will be better though.

When you add a channel manually by using the channel id it looks up all of your providers in SD. I have 4 total on one source but you can only have one you initial select.

My IPTV provider is heavy in SKY channels so i had that as the main source then I just remap them to the IPTV. I MANUALLY add in the DISH/Bell 'premium' which is about 150 channels this take a bit of time but the EPG is rock solid.

I dont need to add in NBC.ABC,FOX,CBS they are on my OTA HDHOMERUNS. But DISH has all the West coast Feeds as well as long as you get the proper Channel ID.

I've been running this setup for up to 2 years.

I had been wondering how to do what you're doing. I understand the part about the zap2it id. Are you saying that you add the providers to your account in the Schedules Direct web site, and the channels become available to map in SageTV?

I think I tried to map channels, via the Zap2it ID, without adding a valid provider to my Sched Direct account and found that SageTV could not retrieve EPG guide data for the channels.

No not in the website in Sage TV, when you select the Guide Data source you pick "Use Schedules Direct Guide Data with this source" then you can add more sources. I have 4 setup. Once setup using the Channel ID should let you manually add the channel into the lineup.

Can anyone successfully using IPTV with OpenDCT please share or PM their opendct.properties?

And any UK iptv users, please PM/share your provider if working.

Thanks.

Boy, I sure wish OpenDCT had it's own sub-forum...

Anyhow, I am running crazifuzzy-opendct docker in unRaid, around 1-2 times per week OpenDCT crashes and requires a restart. So far, it has always happened overnight.

Here's a snippet from the log, hoping this might help somebody (i.e. EnterNoEscape) determine what's going on, and what I might need to do to correct this.

This only started happening 1-2 months ago, prior to that OpenDCT was running solid.

Looks like jbuszkie had a similar problem last year: https://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64848

Will this work running one instance of OPENDCT and have several Servers using it by using the IP of the OPENDCT Server ? My guess is that it would work. Pooling will be enabled.

Edit ....

It worked cut down on my NetWork activity from my office upstairs to the basement where all my storage and main server is.

My HDMI encoder stopped working yesterday. Restarting my SageTV server seemed to initially fix it, but maybe I didn't test it enough because it's broken today.

Upon further inspection of the OpenDCT.log, it appears that OpenDCT doesn't think the HDMI encoder exists anymore. And sure enough, it doesn't appear in the OpenDCT.properties file anymore.

What's the right way to fix this? I have an old backup of the OpenDCT.properties file. Do I just put it back and go on my merry way?

Why did it happen in the first place? My only clue is that my OpenDCT folder has a file named opendct.properties.upgrade-0. It's blank, but the time it was created was right around when I restarted the server after I noticed it was initially broken.

[tomdomm]

Fixed problem by loading old version of Java. Disabled auto java update and problem has not returned.

[Deacon Crusher]

Long time user, never had a problem like this before. Can't figure if problem is initiating within sage or within opendct, so going to break rules and cross-post for a bit, putting this here and will post in opendct thread as well.

I've tried shutting down entire network as well as sage server and bringing stuff up slowly.

I've updated Java (in the right way with sage shutdown) no help.

Starting around 7:15 last night sage starting throwing the errors I'll list below and after a while (15-30) minutes the sage service is at 95%+ CPU usage and everything stops working. Clients are disconnected and shows start failing to record.

Restart after updates etc. stuff works for 15-30 minutes and then starts to repeat problem.

FYI, many references to network issues, but when sage isn't running the computer it's running on has zero problems including continuous pings and large file copies.

Here are what look like the interesting log passages from opendct and sage.

These are likely just symptoms but damned if I can figure out the cause.

Actually, I'll start with this from the Windows System Log

{Delayed Write Failed} Windows was unable to save all the data for the file \Sage\MSNBCLivewithDavidGura-48618664-0.ts; the data has been lost. This error may be caused by network connectivity issues. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

Any thoughts or help will be greatly appreciated.

You don't say what you upgraded Java to. Many plugins especially won't work with the latest versions of Java. I'm not sure how well SageTV itself plays with the later versions of Java.

I have 2 servers and both are running 7.0.79 (7u79 for Windows).

I do know from reading here (and trying it myself when I upgraded to SageTV V9) that version 8 of Java breaks many plugins so I had to back out to 7.0.79 which has worked fine for me.

Hey Wayne

Thanks for bringing this up. I've been running Java 8 for a while (months) as it seemed to make memory issues slightly better. The only thing it "broke" for me was the sagetv website landing page (on my server), all the sub pages work fine.

As part of troubleshooting I upgraded to latest version of 8. Seemed to help a tiny bit, but that was likely just perception.

I'll try going back to last version of 7 and see if that helps, I have my doubts, but at this point open to anything.

Thanks

hmmm, I'm wondering if Windows firewall could have had some rules changed (or defender is doing something new/different.)

Maybe MS pushed out some definition/behavior changes.

All the "network" issues in the logs feel like I should look at the network, but the external/physical network seems fine, but maybe it's the "internal" network on that computer some firewall or internal opendct to sage routing that's triggering something.

I'm going to turn off the firewall to and see if that helps.

Will report back.

Thanks
