Hello, I'm trying to understand how Icam works to be able to view sky (de, uk, it):

I understand that with your docker: (Tvheadend+Icam) + Oscam or Ncam + magic server would I have to view these channels?

Or am I missing something? Would I have to configure something in Oscam?

The dockers would install them in debian. Thanks and best regards

Yes.

Hello.

I have used your image to create a Docker container with TVH patched for Icam. I have some iptv.m3u lists in which, to tune the channels, TVH executes a script that runs ffmpeg. These lists, like the script are in /home on the host and I have also mounted the same /home directory on the container. If I run the host TVH it works fine, but if I run the container TVH I invariably get the error 'no such file or directory'.

Do you know if TVH patching could be the cause of this error? I'm not very familiar with docker, but this is the only cause I can think of at the moment.

---

It's finally working. The problem 'no such file or directory' disappeared after deleting the IPTV network and creating it again with the same data. mysteries. Then a new error appeared: 'command not found' which was resolved by installing ffmpeg in the container.

Now I have to solve why TVH does not list the grabber module that it used to obtain the EPG of the DVB-S channels. Everything will go.

---

By the way, and since I'm stuck in the mud with the container issue: I have an Oscam_Icam installed, although I have disabled the entire emu theme. It works fine, but I wonder if there are advantages in Oscam-Tvheadend communication that Oscam is also in a container. It seems that Docker containers have their own network to communicate with each other.

Hello. I have never used tvheadend before. Please tell me how to watch more than one channel with tvheadend at the same time. At the same time, I can watch only one channel at a time, but there are no limits for the user. I am using the latest version from https://hub.docker.com/r/thealhu/tvheadend. docker running on Ubuntu 16.04 PC. CAS client - newcamd, allows viewing up to 4 channels at the same time.

Depends on how many tuners (cards /usb/sat over ip) must have the muxes tuned in a way that makes it work for you …or how many people/channels watch at the same time .

Streams arrive at tvheadend over the network.

I have already solved the problem. Disabling all profiles except "Pass" in Stream Profiles seems to have helped

Hello valued community,

I have not been here for long but I hope you like what I have brought. (and I hope I have created the thread correctly. )

I have made it my mission to create and maintain a patched TVHeadend Docker image with ICAM support.

The image is available for X64 and ARMv7, so it also runs on the Raspberry Pi 4 and 3b+.

The Linuxserver code (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-tvheadend) is used as the basis, which has already built its own image. My Docker images are essentially different due to the ICAM support.

After some searching, I came across a Docker image that has TVH with ICAM support, but I found that this image only runs on X64 and another problem is that it is some commits behind the TVH repo. So I decided to do it right and also build an image for the PI community who would like to run TVH with ICAM on Docker.

You can find the image and all technical information here: https://hub.docker.com/r/thealhu/tvheadend

I am creating this thread for three reasons:

• To have the images tested and to receive feedback.
• To enable PI users to run TVH with ICAM in Docker (as there seem to be no other images).
• To answer questions in this thread and solve problems.

I hope you like it and solves a problem for some.

For the CAS in configuration?

Thanks

Hey im currently struggling to decrypt channels using the ncam docker image and the tvheadend icam docker image i know the CS works because i could get it to decrypt GOLD +1 comedy central stuff like that just not the sky stuff now none of the channels are clearing any advice?

I think this is using old patches that only support Sky DE?

I will upload some later patches which should work with all iCAM.

Bear in mind that building the files I upload will likely fail as the Linuxserver.io image that it is based on has since changed.

Still you can see the patches and how they are applied.

Maybe fegol has some even newer patches?

so ive tried building and it just fails at when it came to the patches (as you expected it to) do you think it might be worth building it over the icam docker image instead?

There are prebuilt images here https://hub.docker.com/r/chris230291/tvheadend

amd64 is the only tested platform.

i'll double check now thank you

your a star

well i have an update i think my config must be wrong because Ncam is finding the channel but tvheadend says invalid start codeScreenshot 2023-08-02 191348.png

What server are you using?

If its public I will try it.

Can you also compile this Tvh CoreElec to work with aarch64? I don't know how to compile.

Thanks,

Thanks,

Perhaps you could try this (addon tvheadend for CoreELEC, icam patched):
https://github.com/roisiano/tv…versions.-.02.07.2023.zip

Choose your version according to the version of CoreELEC you have and the version of tvheadend you want (4.2 or 4.3).

All the credits to fegol .

Kind regards

Any possibility to setup a lower quality stream profile? I tried a bit around but the picture keeps black.
