HDHomeRun emulator using minisatip?
HDHomeRun emulator using minisatip?
Hi,
I found this tool and don't actually know what it is. It looks like a HDHomeRun emulator which claims it can be used with minisatip.
Does someone know? I didn't get to work. At default it uses DVB-T.

Re: HDHomeRun emulator using minisatip?
Hi,
if you plan to use minisatip with Plex, then it is possible with version 0.5 right now. Of course you need 3 files discover.json, lineup_status.json and lineup.josn. Why 0.5? minisatip has its own webserver where you can host these files.
The only big manual work is the channel list in the lineup.json file. Then minisatip is useable as tuner in Plex.

Re: HDHomeRun emulator using minisatip?
Hi, okay, I see. So, I still need a HDHomeRun? (which I don't have)
I thought a DVB device would be emulated as a HDHomeRun with this emulator, but then I'm mistaken...

Re: HDHomeRun emulator using minisatip?
No, you dont't need a HDHomeRun. You can use any tuner which can be used by minisatip ...
Re: HDHomeRun emulator using minisatip?
Put these 3 files in your minisatip html directory. As mentioned, lineup.json is the main work. Then go to Plex, add a DVR device and point it to your minisatip system <ip of minisatip>:8080, then click "continue".
In my example 10.10.10.66 is the minisatip host.
discover.json:
lineup_status.json
lineup.json )(example)

Re: HDHomeRun emulator using minisatip?
You mentioned Plex, but I guess also other software which support the HDHomeRun will work like DVBLink TVSource?
Re: HDHomeRun emulator using minisatip?
Hi, I tried your instructions, but it doesn't work for now. I need a Plex Pass to be able to add a DVR device, right?
Are there more programs which I can use? Maybe VLC?
About discover.json: do I also need to change DeviceID, DeviceAuth and DeviceUUID as well? How to get those ID's?
In HDHRProxy_IPTV I also have to setup DeviceID and changing .INI files? (configuration and mapping list)
Please help, it's much appreciated!
Thanks!

Re: HDHomeRun emulator using minisatip?
The above method are only working with Plex (Plex Pass required). DVBLink TVSource supports the SATIP protocoll and thus minisatip directly.
About discover.json. Put in what you like, change a few letters/numbers. Thats not real IDs.
As mentioned, I dont think that this method works for all such HDHomeRun client software. I only use this setup (Plex -> minisatip via this 3 files) in my home susccessfully. Maybe Plex is not using the full HDHomeRun API and thats why its working. Other software uses more functions from the API which are not covered by this 3 files.
