News MultiStream on Vu+

Hello everybody,

I`ve contacted Athoik as he`s the one behind Mutistream/T2-MI project on OpenPLI and SatDreamGR. He is the one who made it work and implemented his ideas and passion to images ordinary users can use and enjoy on everyday basis.
I deeply asked him to help us to improve our image the way we need it. I`d ask also our members and programmers on this forum to say your "thank you" to him and his know-how if he joins our community. Let him not be our guest only, but a closer friend who help us when we need it the most. :help: We call this forum proudly as VU+ community. A community, where people are welcomed and thanked for what they do here.
P.S.: Open ATV has implemented drivers recently, too. So take it as a challenge and make this image a bit special again!
:thanks: Regards Sato
 
Hi guys,

I know that implementing multistream is now easier thanks to all the people made available their work in public.

My work was simply to collect all available pieces and place them together.

In case you are missing any piece of the puzzle let me know.

Regards,
Athoik
 
Hi Athoik and welcome to our board. I and I hope others here appreciate your will to help us.
Maybe there are not too many replies here, but as I can see how many people read this I can tell that people are interested. Guys, please at least click "Like" to say your appreciation. Thanks.

During these winter vacations I've worked around MultiStream, Vu+ and my Technisat SkyStar HD USB.

Why Technisat SkyStar HD USB? Because it has ICs and Demods capable of MultiStream for sure :)

This is (only) a little report about implementation status and TODO list.

Hardware used:
1x Vu+Solo 4K
1x SCR LNB mounted on my USALS rotor dish
1x Technisat SkyStar HD USB
1x BH image with MultiStream support (of course :D )

First thing to do: introduce into Enigma2 all the logic about MultiStream and the corresponding commands for the DVB-S2 device (thanks @crazycat for their implementation that I've used as a base for mine!)
Second thing to do: test enigma2 compile
Third thing to do: test, test and more test ....

After two steps succeded, the only thing I should do are the only interesting: search and tune.

First operation: check if SkyStar USB HD works with my rotor and LNB like an internal tuner and it was OK. Not so quickly to zap but works and it's a great thing. USALS control also works and preliminary tests are all positive.
Second operation: try to scan a MultiStream frequency. After some Google's search I've understood how works MS and my target is defined: Eutelsat 12 West B @ 12.5W where some streams are present and have correct modulation and less parameters to be inserted to perform scan.

I've tried to scan the following frequency:
12718 H 36510 5/6 8PSK - streams 33 to 36

Looking from enigma2 debug log, after issue the first scan command (stream 33) I've seen immediately that all C++ and python code are good and WOW channels are found!
I've continued with other streams and now I can try to tune ....

Channels gone in the same place like all other channels ....
I've choosen RTL 102.5 channel ..... IT'S WORK!
Here is the screenshot about Service Info when I see MS channel ....
View attachment 24999
Here is the screenshot about Service Info when I see an ordinary channel ...
View attachment 25000

As you can see, all works properly.
I've tried also other MS frequencies but for missing tune information the scan was failed.
Other scan-able MS frequencies are located @ 4.9E but quality was unaccettable, I suppose due to signal quality and or bad reception from my USB device.

TODO list:
- check if Vu+ tuners have MULTISTREAM capabilities and, if check is negative, ask Vu+ to add them (if they can, according to hardware specs used into their tuners)
- write a list of device capable to MULTISTREAM (DVB-S2 and DVB-T2)
- test MS on DVB-T2 (not yet tested due to missing muxes in my area that uses MS and -T2)
- refine support into enigma2 to be more and more robust.

I'll evaluate in the future if I would release a MS image for some Vu+ boxes. Please, DON'T ASK FOR AN IMAGE NOW: I don't know where you live, what kind of tests you can do ... so I appreciate any kind of help: reply into this thread and explain what can you do :)

This is a little step forward to make Vu+ a very complete machine ...

Hi Angelofsky. I have one skystar hd ci usb card. how to install on Vu zero??? i must install the driver manually, or something ellse... It's possible, or not to use on Vu Zero, this card.. Thank you in advance..

My Skystar HD USB is the version without CI slot
 
hi every body...
i was readyng all post... its very interesting
great job from angelofsky1980 sato and athoik from openpli
interesting reading.... but finally i have a question
tbs5925 works with openpli in vu+ solo 4k or only in vu+ zero/uno
actually i have vu+ solo 4k with blackhole 3.0.3 but if openpli works with tbs5925 ill changed.. because im interest in buy one tbs5925
thanks in advanced to all crew! youre great
 
A few months ago replaced my Dreambox 800HD with V+ ZERO thinking I would get a little bit in speed but to keep all the features and functions as well, i was greatly deceived.
Instead of getting something more, I got less, yes it's MULTISTREAM from tuner! Used to watch a 1ch. through the DM800, and another over VLC from the same transponder.
I miss MULTISTREAM so much, and if I do not see support for V+ receivers, I will throw it in the trash and I will return back my Dreambox 800HD, this is how I am disappointed.
Stories that tuner or Broadcom BCM 7362 does not support MULTISTREAM are lies for children! To be clearer, works just fine when you watch same on V+ and stream on VLC,
The problem is not able to stream other channels that are on the same transponder, not from another frequency, not from another polarization or satellite ... The SAME PACKAGE
BlackHole using for years, it works within limits of the expected but MULTISTREAM is undoubtedly "MUST HAVE" I do not intend to buy additional USB tuners to achieve this goal.
if I'm forced to do this, definitely will install a Linux server with several PCIe cards on the PC and instead of 2 channels, I will watch 50+ channels at the same time, am I clearer?
In that case I will not need a satellite receivers Ultimo, Duo etc with 2 tuners or 3 tuners but 5-10 times cheaper IPTV network receivers or simply install VLC everywhere...

I suggest you contact vu+ at www.vuplus.com with you demands.

Nothing the BH team can do for you

Of course Ev0, my revolt is aimed at V+
I've already mentioned, my first choice is "Black Hole" Image no matter which hardware will be...

The Black Hole team only support Vu+ products.

So you are kind of in a catch22 right now.
 
I've actually ordered Octagon SF-4008 and I hope it will get quite different results. Not so polished as VU+ which I already have, but the capabilities, including S2X made it to some new level.
 
quote : TBS 5925 & 5980 do the job perfectly in OpenPLi and SatDreamGR images, so I hope that with your and other BH Driver specialists` help we can make it work on BH, too! quote

May we have any tutorial about installing TBS 5925 or TBS 5520 on the Vu+ ?
Thank you
