Thanks for the suggestion fuegos! I need it to be RTMP push/pull. What I have figured out so far is like this:

E2/Linux --> HLS/M3U --> Windows/Linux PC with OBS (VLC Video source) --> nginx on remote VPS --> Multiple streaming services.

Do you think this will work? Any other suggestions?

Anyone?

Hello,

It seems E2/Linux receivers support HLS (m3u) out of the box. Is there any way to stream a channel over network using RTMP? Apparently DVBlast, MuMuDVB and Tvheadend achieve this on a Linux computer. Is there any way to make them work on E2 box?

Cheers!

Here are my findings in case someone stumbles upon it later on.

I seem to have reached a dead-end (at least for now). "Experts" say there is no way to find keys for DVB-C PowerVu. Different reasons are (paraphrased) below:

1. DVB-C PowerVu follows different packets format compared to DVB-S, hence no tool will help at the moment
2. It cannot be opened at the moment, just like 138E I-Cable system
3. Cable providers seem to use "different" PowerVu system. No one is sure the channels can be opened since the "cycle is not completed" when analyzed

If anybody has more information or can help in this regard then it'll be highly appreciated!

Apparently PowerVu keys have worked with DVB-C in the past.

OScam log and preliminary test with dvbsnoop confirm that the signal is simulcrypted with PowerVu. Unfortunately I'm not able to dump a proper TS for analysis using dvbsnoop. Here is what I have been able to get so far: raw_ts.ts and record.ts. Passing these through PowerVu HomeEdition does not result in anything fruitful.

Now I plan to follow the procedure below.

1. Purchase a cheap USB stick like this.
2. Use a software application like DVB Dream to dump full raw TS
3. Pass the file through PowerVu HomeEdition and try to find the keys

Would this work?

It's a local DVB-C signal simulcrypted with PowerVu. Have PowerVu keys ever been extracted from a DVB-C signal?

Hello,

Does anybody have experience with PowerVu encryption on a DVB-C system? How does it differ from the PowerVu implementation on DVB-S2?

Regards.

Anybody? Any help is appreciated :)

• What might be the reason behind the server rejecting a channel? Is it because it does not find/have it?
• I'm trying to bring down the ECM time but that is not easy. The connection to the server needs to be tunneled through a VPN because the server has geo-blocked my location.
• The logs I have posted are after enabling each reader one by one. I want to be able to use only reader2 if possible.
• If I remove the following line then the reader1 finds the ECM but the screen remains black! Why might this be?

disablecrccws = 1

• I have kept the following line because the broadcaster is simlucrypting the channels with 4 CAIDs. It seems to speed up the decryption if I tell OScam which CAID is available on the server (hhhh in this case). Removing this line did not have any effect. What is the significance of keeping/removing it?

caid = hhhh

• The CCcam version used by the server (according to testious) is 2.0.11-2892. This is the reason why I have kept the following line. Removing this line did not have any effect. What is the significance of keeping/removing it?

cccversion = 2.0.11

• Removing these lines did not have any effect. What is the significance of keeping/removing the following lines?

ccckeepalive = 1
inactivitytimeout = 30

Thanks in advance!

I'm only just starting with OScam, so have some basic questions. I'm using OScam r11420.

I'm trying to figure out the reasons behind the channels which are not clearing on both the servers. What is the difference between "rejected" and "not found"?

Thanks in advance!

I didn't understand the purpose of this post of yours.

Ah okay. Got it!

Hello,

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm unable to imagine use cases for twin tuner receivers like this: https://www.zgemma.co.uk/zgemma-h.2s

Why not simply use a DiSEqC switch to get multiple DVB-S inputs to the receiver? What am I missing?

It doesn't seem to have a CI slot which I think will be useful to me later on.

Paulct What made you go for F4 turbo? Do you (think you will) miss DVB-S2X capability?

Hello all,

I am planning to buy a new DVB-S2 receiver. My budget is not too much, so it seems DM or VU+ are not the options. I am thinking about one of these two:
1. Formuler F4 Turbo: DVB-S2 (C/T plug), H.265/FHD, CI Slot, 3x USB, Enigma2/Linux

2. Formuler S Turbo: DVB-S2 (T plug), OTT IPTV, H.265/UHD, CI Slot, 2x USB, Android

The main advantages of F4 turbo are the support from open source Linux community and DVB-C slot (which I'm not sure I'll need)

The main advantages of S turbo are the Android operating system. But I'm not sure whether this is really an advantage. Are Android boxes known to be good satellite receivers? Also, Android is known to become sluggish after some use. Do you guys think that will be a problem? UHD capability is also there in S turbo but there is not much content out there at the moment...

I'm only a beginner with the satellite receiver world, so any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance! :)
