[mythtv-users] Problem setting up Octopus NET (or SAT>IP in general)

[Thomas Boehm]

Hi list,

I'm trying to set up an Octopus NET network SAT IP tuner. The tuner has
a m3u playlist and works fine with VLC and Kodi.

I updated MythTV to version 29 and set up a new TV card of the type
"IPTV recorder" and provided the URL, first the http link and later to
the downloaded playlist in the filesystem. In both cases the channel
scan "finds" the channels in the playlist. I guess it just parses the
plalist and does no further checks.

When I try to watch a channel I get only a partial lock with 0% signal
and the backend shows tha following

Does anyone uses such a tuner or can see from the log what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
