DM500 Satip not found by Tvheadend

[mhdevlab]

I have a dm500 that has been working without any problem with this satip image, after a few months with the device turned off, now I have turned it on but it cannot be found by tvheadend or another satip client, although I have tried it with vlc, it works perfectly, but it does not appear now on tvheadend, can it be that the dm500 does not advertise the service over the network? Sorry my english & Thanks

Hello!

can it be that the dm500 does not advertise the service over the network?

I doubt it... if you can still access it via vlc, this looks more like a problem with the network or on tvheadend's part :thinking:

To know if the service is advertised over the network, you could run wireshark on a PC that is connected to the same network as the DM500 and enter ssdp in the filter box. You should see packets appear:

Hi Thanks for your reply !

I have tried capturing ssdp packages via Wireshark but did not find any related to satip, but I tried again by restarting the dm500, and this time I have been able to capture only 3 packages during the first seconds after the restart and nothing after that. can i restart the ssdp service manually from ssh ?

Thanks

Tvheadend might probe/look for satip servers/tuners on the wrong interface. It is therefor recommended to start Tvheadend server with following argument --bindaddr ipaddressoftvheadendserveritself. See for more info: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/16500
