ADBTuner: A "channel tuning" application for networked Google TV / Android TV devices

turtletank · January 22, 2024, 6:17pm

Not that it's going to fix the specific issue you are currently troubleshooting here, but I just pushed a small update to both versions (latest and experimental) to automatically follow redirects when connecting to streaming endpoints.

Life has been too busy to even think about ADBTuner, but it seems LinkPi has taken over as the default encoder so I figured I could squeeze in a one line fix lol. This should let the URL displayed in the LinkPi user interface work directly without having to replace it with the actual target.

Doesn't seem to be a HLS/TS issue, tried both and still no video. I get this errors:

2024/01/22 11:27:02.743789 [ERR] Failed to start stream for ch9000: M3U: Tuner Unreachable: Timeout after 20s connecting to: http://10.10.11.16:5592/stream/1

2024/01/22 13:47:13.181803 [ERR] Failed to start stream for ch9000: M3U: Could not fetch playlist: 10.10.11.16:5592: GET: http://10.10.11.16:5592/stream/1: 404 Not Found

So it seems like Channels is not finding anything at ADBTuner redirect address http://10.10.11.16:5592/stream/1. I'm going to start over with the new update and see if it makes any difference (thanks @turtletank)

This doesn't look right. 5592 is the port # for the ADBTuner proxy, not the LinkPi. According to @spammedeeper, the direct LinkPi port should be 8090. And of course the IP for the LinkPi should be its actual IP or hostname, not the IP or hostname of the ADBTuner proxy server.

That is correct it is not wrong this is what my M3U looks like ....

Yeah, it's an easy misunderstanding, those are the Channels DVR logs so from that perspective it's correct, the Docker container logs would be more useful here.

ChannelSam · January 22, 2024, 7:36pm

Don't know if it willl help but @mnwxman132 created a Link Pi Encoder Family topic.
Just my post there so far but it might help.

Just in case someone is doing a search for an entry level LinkPi setup without trying to read hundreds of posts. I would also start with X264 encoding...for most universal playability then try X265 if you wish after everything is working.
I added my exact settings form ADBTuner in Channels... and the settings in ADBTuner and LinkPi...Along with personal experience so far... This is based on the help I received from @spammedeeper, @bnhf, @turtletank

ChannelSam · January 22, 2024, 7:57pm

@turtletank
Just wondering if it might be possible to add an enable button next to each tuner...it would be really helpful when testing out different devices so you don't have to give all the other tuners something to do first in CDVR or delete them and then re-add them after...an alternative might be to add a tuner number/priority that is user assigned then you would be able to just renumber the priority so the one being tested is #1
I really appreciate everything you have done to make this simple to use.

laughsbrightly · January 22, 2024, 9:49pm

Agreed, it shouldn't be hard.

laughsbrightly · January 22, 2024, 9:52pm

Shouldn't it be http://10.10.11.16:port/stream1 and not http://10.10.11.16:port/1?

Edwin_Perez · January 22, 2024, 9:52pm

Why are you including /Live ?

laughsbrightly · January 22, 2024, 9:55pm

That's what is in the Play URL section and what ADB accepts:

uspino · January 22, 2024, 10:12pm

This is what my m3u url at http://10.10.11.16:5592/channels.m3u looks like:

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="27081777265462926658171838050863796401" channel-number="8000",HDMI Encoder
http://10.10.11.16:5592/stream/1

But when I hit http://10.10.11.16:5592/stream/1 either through Channels or VLC, my Fire TV switches correctly to the channel, starts streaming, but I get no video. I think ADBTuner is not redirecting http://10.10.11.16:5592/stream/1 to the HDMI encoder Endpoint, but I really don't know why.

turtletank · January 22, 2024, 10:20pm

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but to start from the very beginning, if you open the "Dashboard" section in the LinkPi interface do you see the video output in the Preview section on the bottom?

laughsbrightly · January 22, 2024, 10:24pm

Not a dumb question, and yes, I do see the snapshot in the Preview section and it does match the screen.

turtletank · January 22, 2024, 10:24pm

ADBTuner acts as a proxy server. It receives the incoming http request (/stream/1), fires the appropriate ADB commands to start the content, and then sends the video directly in the response.

We are going to need the logs from the docker container to troubleshoot this further. Without that information it's all just guessing.

turtletank · January 22, 2024, 10:27pm

Can you provide screenshots of your entire "Encode" and "Stream" screens?

Here are screenshots of my entire configuration

laughsbrightly · January 22, 2024, 10:35pm

I appreciate you doing the update. I am running whatever is available at Github and I just did a pull, deleted, and re-loaded in docker and the issue persists. I've got a monitor plugged into the HDMI output and ADB tunes the channel just fine, and then appears to start and restart.

laughsbrightly · January 22, 2024, 10:37pm

turtletank · January 22, 2024, 10:40pm

Thanks. I don't see anything obviously problematic there. You can turn off RTSP though.

I think the next step will be docker logs on this. Can you provide the logs from a tuning attempt?
