I am trying to use minisatip to provide IPTV channels for MythTV:

  https://github.com/catalinii/minisatip

I have it set up and working on my two DVB-S2 tuners in my MythTV box,
so that I can view channels using VLC from the MythTV box and using
DVBViewer Pro from my Windows box.  But when I try to record a channel
using mythbackend, I get "TuningSignalCheck: Still waiting.  Will
timeout @" messages, even though minisatip has tuned the channel and
is sending RTP packets for the channel's streams.  I have put a
section of mythbackend.log on my web server:

  http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/mythbackend.minisatip.log

This shows mythbackend trying to record from chanid 5089 (BBC World).
Everything seems to work properly up until mythbackend starts
receiving RTP data from minisatip.  When that happens, it does seem to
see the data (at the "StreamHandler mpeg/mpegstreamdata.cpp:404"
message at 05:49:48), but does not seem to recognise the data streams
properly and keeps on saying "TuningSignalCheck: Still waiting.".  If
I copy and paste the RTSP URL from that log into VLC, it plays BBC
World without any problems.

So does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

And is there anyone who has a Ceton network tuner who could post the
log of what should happen at that point if mythbackend is happy with
the data streams?  The log might need to be made with extra logging
options - I am starting mythbackend with the "-v record,dvbcam"
options.
