OpenDCT: An open source digital cable tuner.

[CptKirk]

Yes, I was following that post step by step as well when I started this little torture trip (which I thought would be a piece of cake ).

I was just trying to follow JustFred's suggestions exactly.

I started the opendct service, checked sage.properties for the mmc/encoder entries. Not there.

I started the sagetv service, checked sage.properties for the mmc/encoder entries. Not there.



I'll message enternoescape and see if he would be willing to try and take a look.

One thing I see from both openDCT and Sage logs is Sage is repeatedly requesting your old, now removed, prime tuners. I would delete the old prime tuners from your Sage properties file.

Remove the "mmc/encoders" entries for each obsolete tuner identified. (Ex. "mmc/encoders/UNIQUE_ID/video_capture_device_name=DCT-HDHomeRun Prime Tuner 13182976". So delete all "mmc/encoders/UNIQUE_ID that correspond to 13182976.

[CptKirk]

I had left one, 13182976-0, so that I could copy the lineup from it to the new prime tuners. I deleted 13182976-1 and 13182976-2.

Guess I will try to delete that other one as well.

Edit...

Removed the last entry for the old 13182976 removed tuner. Did the whole services shutdown, opendct as console, services back on. Checked sage.properties the opendct tuners do not show up.

From looking at your log, it looks like there's some confusion about what's configured and what's being called by SageTV:

17:12:37.660 [HDHomeRunDiscoveryReceive-39] INFO  SageTVManager - The capture device 'DCT-HDHomeRun Prime Tuner 1324B362-2' is ready.
17:13:14.289 [SageTVRequestHandler-132:Unknown] DEBUG SageTVManager - The capture device 'DCT-HDHomeRun Prime Tuner 13182976-2' is not yet available.

The first line shows that OpenDCT found and made available 1324B362. The second line shows SageTV calling 13182976 which OpenDCT did not discover. I didn't note you mentioning two HDHomeRun Primes.

[CptKirk]

13182976 is the Prime that got damaged by lightning. It is not connected to the network (actually in the trash).

1324B362 is the new Prime purchased to replace the damaged one.

I cleaned up (removed) all references to 13182976 in the sage.properties file.

I unplugged the power as ENE suggested to just have the 1324B362 Prime connected to the network and tried to do the config again.

No luck unfortunately. 1324B362 did not show up in the sage.properties file.

Log files attached.

I'm confused about what I'm seeing. It looks like OpenDCT was completely ready by 22:15:06.181, then the service was stopped 30 seconds later. The SageTV log shows SageTV started at 20:31:24.150 and shut down at 22:09:23.029. OpenDCT needs to be running before SageTV starts. SageTV only does the discovery broadcast at startup which was done at 20:31:31.202 which would have been before OpenDCT appears to have even been running.

[CptKirk]

My process is always:

1. Run "OpenDCT Run as Console".
2. CTRL-C on OpenDCT Following Download of Channel Lineups.
3. Run "OpenDCT Start Service" - Success!
4. Start SageTV Service.
5. Start SageTV and try to add new source

I was trying a number of different things (firewall changes, upnp changes, etc). But I always waited until after OpenDCT Service before starting the SageTV Service.

I keep Computer Management-Services open so that I can see when the two services are running or not.

I got too frustrated with it after all day yesterday so stepped back from it today. Did not think about it or look at until now.

I will dig into it more tomorrow morning.

Hopefully with some better logs.

I appreciate you taking the time to take a look.

I'm pretty sure I once knew the answer to what I am about to ask, but when things "just work" for 18 months or so you forget everything next time you start tinkering.

I have been getting some pauses and stutters with my miniclient in certain fios channels using my HDHR Prime lately. I am actually pretty sure it is an exoplayer problem and I am hoping Josh's new version with a new exoplayer will be out of beta soon (I am a patreon supporter of his, but I have been too lazy to sideload the apk!) and will fix it. But for today I thought I would check opendct to see if I can get it to clean up the streams some.

I am running on Unraid. New sage/opendct implementation using java 11 by jusjoken. I have been taking to opportunity to look at my opendct.properties file. There is a line:

consumer.dynamic.default=opendct.consumer.MediaServerConsumerImpl

I could have sworn at some point I changed this to:

consumer.dynamic.default=opendct.consumer.FFmpegTransSageTVConsumerImpl

So I just tried changing it several times and every time I restart the docker it changes it back to MediaServerConsumer instead of FFmpegTransSageConsumer. I think i remember that starting the docker rebuilds certain things every time and I am sure that is what's going on here, but is there any way I can change the default and have it not get overwritten? Is there a different file somewhere where I can set the default that it uses to overwrite with?

I should also say that I DO have all of my tuners set to:

sagetv.device.-xxxxxxxxxx.consumer=opendct.consumer.FFmpegTransSageTVConsumerImpl

And that sticks. So maybe I don't even need to worry about the consumer.dynamic.default, but I wanted to ask. I seem to recall that opendct can "clean up" some irregularities in streams coming over the fios using ffmpeg so I want to make sure it is doing that.

Can anyone shed any light? Thanks very much!

For some reason unknown to me that line is added by the docker... So when I made the new dockers i left the code in there that adds it.

I can change the docker to NOT add this line but would like to understand what it does and why fuzzy likely decided it needed to be forced.

Got it. Yeah I am not sure either. I wonder if I am ok since I changed all of my tuners to use the FFmpegTransSage option. My only concern was that this default line was overriding the tuner-specific properties.

Try changing them to
sagetv.device.XXXXXXXXXX.consumer=opendct.consumer.RawSageTVConsumerImpl

Ive been using this setting for a few years

I wonder if this idea we had actually became a problem. Is it okay to *copy* a lineup to a new tuner, and then remove the tuner with the original lineup? Does Sage try and maintain some kind of relationship with the original tuner even when missing?

By choosing to *copy* an existing lineup in Sage, the resulting lineup is static; it's no longer automatically updated with changes from the original EPG source. Except for special cases, this is probably undesirable.

On the other hand, Sage remains happy if choosing "Use existing lineup" for a new tuner and then removing the old tuner.

[KryptoNyte]

Got it. Thanks for the clarification, Fred.

Just for curiosity sake, is there any reason that you can think of why *copying* a lineup for a different tuner would result in the inability to assign tuner merit specifically?

Not that I'm aware of.

The tuner merit setting seems to be the source of much confusion and debate. There have been reports that merit seems to be ignored among tuners sharing a common EPG lineup.

[wayner]

I appear to have, or at least used to have, OpenDCT running on a couple of my PCs as if I go to add a new tuner in SageTV I can see a whole bunch of devices listed like:

HDHomeRun HDHR-US Tuner 1011f5ea-0 on 127.0.0.1:9001
HDHomeRun HDHR-US Tuner 1011f5ea-0 on 192.168.1.99:9000
HDHomeRun HDHR-US Tuner 1011f5ea-1 on 127.0.0.1:9001
HDHomeRun HDHR-US Tuner 1011f5ea-1 on 192.168.1.99:9000
HDHomeRun HDHR-US Tuner 1040e3e1-0 on 192.168.1.99:9000
HDHomeRun HDHR-US Tuner 1040e3e1-1 on 192.168.1.99:9000

But I don't think these are active anymore. For example, 192.168.1.99 is an unRAID server and the OpenDCT docker isn't running. Can I just delete all of these extra tuners? If so, how do I do that? Do I nuke them out of my Sage.properties?

The one that shows up as local host on this instance may actually still be running on a Windows PC. How do I tell if OpenDCT tuner is running on a windows PC. And how do I uninstall it? Do I just use the Uninstall from Programs and Features in Windows Control Panel?

[CptKirk]

Thanks for folks that were giving feedback on my hdhr problems.

I have ended up building a new sagetv server and I have my hdhr tuners detected and working on the new server.

Something I had planned on doing for awhile and since I was getting a real headache I figured that I might as well do it.

Not going to try and debug on the old server anymore.

[boukmandutty]

I have this recurring problem with my TVE recordings. I draw the feed from channels dvr into sagetv. Every now and then I get an error where the first part of the recording fails. I cant figure out what might be the cause. I thought it was perhaps ffmpeg and switched recently to trying the streamlink but the result is the same. I see the problem whenever the server has not tuned a channel for a couple of hours and then has to tune to record.

The opendct log looks like this:

I have attached pictures of the error in sagetv.

Following hvymetal I went with a script for tuning instead of having to stop opendct to edit the config all the time. I came up with the following borrowing from his script for PlutoTV.

#!/bin/bash
ch_num=$1
pipe_ip=127.0.0.1
pipe_port=8089
pipe_path1=devices/ANY/channels
pipe_path2=hls/master.m3u8
#
#Tested Opendct tuning commands:
#
#ffmpeg -i http\://127.0.0.1\:8089/devices/ANY/channels/%c%/stream.mpg?format\=hls -f mpegts -codec\:v copy -codec\:a copy -
#
#/usr/bin/streamlink --stdout --hls-segment-stream-data --twitch-disable-hosting --ringbuffer-size 8M --hls-segment-attempts 2 --hls-segment-timeout 5 http\://192.168.1.228\:8089/devices/ANY/channels/$ch_num/hls/master.m3u8 best
#
#Currenty testing --> simple curl to get it active, then tune since I cant seem to ping the stream.
curl http\://$pipe_ip\:$pipe_port/$pipe_path1/$ch_num/$pipe_path2
streamlink --stdout --hls-segment-stream-data --twitch-disable-hosting --ringbuffer-size 8M --hls-segment-attempts 2 --hls-segment-timeout 5 http://$pipe_ip:$pipe_port/$pipe_path1/$ch_num/$pipe_path2 best

Will watch to see if the curl helps to activate the stream before it has to record so that I dont get the error.

With streamlink you do not have to download stream with curl just use httpstream:// in front of the URL it has the same effect. So URL would be

httpstream://http://$pipe_ip/:$pipe_port

Also if you put double quotes around the curl URL you do not have escape the /
