AndroidHDMI for Channels (ah4c): A virtual channel tuner using HDMI Encoder(s) + streaming stick(s)

[jagrim]

@bnhf
So I saw the authorization screen screen last night but was recording thru encoder so I didn’t want to troubleshoot. This am I was able to partially replicate. The attached log represents my tunings on different tv's.

Tuned to Tuner 1 - no issues or authorization screen - correct channel
Tuned to Tuner 2 - no issues or authorization screen - correct channel

Tuned to Tuner 3 - received authorization screen- defaulted to other channel

Utilized Quick guide and got the all devices in use err (my bad)
Backed out to normal guide and selected encoder channel. No issues or authorization screen- played correct channel.

I did check the “get global” setting on Tuner 3 and it reported null. This was prior to any tuning. I did not check the other tuners.

The one thing I noticed in the logs is that it showed a 'broken pipe' whenever the authorization screen shows up. I’ve added a log snippet showing.

@jagrim

The one thing I noticed in the logs is that it showed a 'broken pipe' whenever the authorization screen shows up.

The broken pipe message is fairly standard, and isn't indicative of a problem to my knowledge.

What I think is more interesting, is that there isn't a single failure to connect via ADB in the log, which is what would trigger an actual ah4c reauth.

I still think the most likely thing is something else is trying to connect via ADB. If you're seeing a reauth message that you can basically just dismiss and carry on with ah4c, how can this be an actual reauth needed by ah4c?

I remember this coming up at some point in the ADBTuner thread, where it turned out that person had installed an ADB-driven remote control program on their phone -- and that turned out to be the culprit.

@jagrim

Tuned to Tuner 3 - received authorization screen- defaulted to other channel

How do you know that auth prompt hadn't been sitting there for hours or days? Given this is the last tuner in line, it probably doesn't get used as often.

@jagrim

I did check the “get global” setting on Tuner 3 and it reported null. This was prior to any tuning. I did not check the other tuners.

I'm pretty sure the null response tells us that adb key expiration isn't implemented on the Osprey in this version of the OS.

@jagrim

Utilized Quick guide and got the all devices in use err (my bad)
Backed out to normal guide and selected encoder channel. No issues or authorization screen- played correct channel.

When there's a reauth pop-up on the screen this is going to screw up your tuning (especially when not using deeplinks), and normal tuning will only resume when the pop-up is dismissed -- which can only be done by an authorized device.

@bnhf

How do you know that auth prompt hadn't been sitting there for hours or days? Given this is the last tuner in line, it probably doesn't get used as often.

That could be but the Osprey powers down (might just be sleep) when not in use. And that wouldn’t explain why Tuner 1 gets it which is used daily. Last night Tuner 1 was recording and Tuner 2 got it. Backed out and reselected channel and it worked.

I’ve started watching the LinkPi web interface. I’ve been hoping to see the screen authorization prompt but I think it knows when I watching.

It’s easy enough to check tuners and see if it comes up from the iPad. I’ll also do a restart on the stack.

If there's an issue with ah4c, I definitely want to fix it, but it's hard to imagine where that issue might lie.

Can you confirm for me that you're not actually re-authorizing anything -- but are just seeing the pop-ups? And if so, how often is this happening?

Also, go ahead and post all 3 scripts you're currently using, along with the M3U...

EDIT: Any chance you're using the OliveTin Action that checks the status of ADB devices connected via ah4c? If so, what frequency are you using?

Do not have Olive Tin but I learned your tip from above (ip:7655)

I’m not sure if it’s an ah4c issue or not. For background, the stack has been up running for 20+ days. It has been very sporadic. Last night and today issues were the first on a back to back day and on different tuners. I should probably the stack or at least restart and see if that makes a difference. This encoder has only had these 3 Osprey's.

I need to get you a log that only has a 'clean' issue. I have not reauthorized at any time.

To make sure you fully grasp, I’ll describe what I see:
Normal:
When I select a channel, the encoder sends the 'signal screen'. I then see a switch to DTV which is hazy. The requested channel number pops up on the lower and then it tunes. This is about 10-11 secs usually.

Abnormal:
When I select a channel, the encoder sends the 'signal screen'. When it switches to DTV, the authorization screen pops up (for about 15 secs)..The requested channel number does not pop up and it tunes to the last active channel. I can then back out to the guide then reselect the channel and it will be as normal.

I’m going to try and let it do it again so I can get a better log for you.

[bnhf]

@jagrim

To make sure you fully grasp, I’ll describe what I see:

It's clear to me why you'd see the tuning behavior you're experiencing when there's an authorization pop-up on the screen when you start tuning. The behavior you're describing is exactly what I'd expect in that scenario. With a pop-up like this on the screen any ADB commands emulating a remote control (like sending numbers to change the channel) will be ignored.

Let me turn this around though, and ask if you understand what I'm saying? Specifically, if your Osprey is generating an authorization pop-up, that means the device creating that pop-up is not authorized and cannot send any ADB commands. Yet, from your description clearly ah4c is authorized, and that authorization has not expired (expiration is probably not even supported based on your previous posts).

As I requested above, I'd like you to post the exact 3 scripts you're using (prebmitune.sh, bmitune.sh and stopbmitune.sh) -- along with the M3U you're using. Maybe we're dealing with a timing issue, where you're starting to send keycodes to change the channel before the Osprey is totally awake, and this sometimes generates an auth pop-up?

I think you hit it on the head regarding a timing issue. That's why when I back out and reselect to does as expected.
For me to post those files, I would need to stop the stack so I gain access. If I’m stopping the stack, I would want to update since you’ve made changes for Ospreys. So I’m going to post my environmental variables because one may need to be changed (streamer app?).

After it’s running, I want to change the encoder url from ip/live/stream0 to ip:port/stream0. I saw an earlier post that mine is just a redirect.

The scripts and M3Us can be found under /volume1/data/ah4c on your host computer. No need to stop the stack.

Yes, you'll want to change your encoder URLs so they are not redirects.

The correct STREAMER_APP value for you is scripts/osprey/dtvosprey, but do post the current scripts you're using under scripts/osprey/directv, in case they contain any modifications from stock.

[jagrim]

Here's the 3 scripts before any update attempt. Due to permissions, I have to copy then I can open- also had to fire up computer as ipad doesnt like to copy.

I'm really wondering if it's not the redirect that's causing this. I just had an issue on a Windows 11 update that stopped allowing access to my Synology using its common name - had to switch to ip only even though they both pointed to the same network address (off topic).

@jagrim

I'm really wondering if it's not the redirect that's causing this.

Maybe. It's certainly worth changing that first before we do anything else.

If that doesn't work, I think we'll try adding a test for whether or not your Osprey's display is on before sending any additional commands.

[jagrim]

So I changed all 3 encoder URL’s from the redirect to ip:8090/stream0 ; stream1; stream2

Restarted the container. Tested Tuner1 and it's fine. I'm sure the others will also tune.

I’ll watch it a couple of days and check a few other things. Then probably update to latest version.

It's really been steady as I've been recording the Astros every day thru the encoder.

On your other post regarding overriding the Adb authorization, should I do that or just wait for now. I’ve never had to reauthorize.

[bnhf]

@jagrim

On your other post regarding overriding the Adb authorization, should I do that or just wait for now. I’ve never had to reauthorize.

There shouldn't be any need to do that -- wait for now.

[jagrim]

Thought I would post the portainer log from restart after changing the Encoder URL’s from redirect to actual port. Nothing unusual.

I'm not sure how to find the ah4c:appletv build. Can you point me to this with a link. I have some Apple TVs and Magewell card and want to get started finally down this path. I'm only using CC4C currently and so perhaps I need to read this entire thread. Is there a specific guide for PyATV anywhere? Thanks

[ChannelSam]

image: bnhf/ah4c:appletv

No specific guide that I am aware of...
What service are you using??? DirectTV, YoutubeTV, HuluLive???

This is the thread I would read to start...Not all that long....
https://community.getchannels.com/t/using-an-hdmi-encoder-with-ah4c-appletv-capturing-from-an-appletv-running-the-cox-contour-app/43962

[arwrite]

Thank you for your reply. I've read through the thread you provided and also skimmed some of this thread as well to try and figure out a general outline of what I need to do to stand this up. It's not all clear to me yet. I'm using Spectrum & HD Homerun and have Channels DVR installed on Linux desktop. I have CC4C running on a separate Windows desktop. I'm not using docker at all for anything and am a total newbie there, which is part of my problem. Since I'll only be running this single docker for now, should I be installing docker, docker compose, or portainer? I've heard all of these mentioned at various times here.

So I think the following are the steps. Much appreciated if anyone could help course correct, or provide any advice here for a newbie in this area (especially docker and spinning it up).

• install docker, docker compose, or portainer
• install image: bnhf/ah4c:appletv from hub.docker.com (I'm not sure how to do this)
• set up at least 1 Apple TV tuner to begin with
• I plan to install the Magewell card in the Linux desktop and have already worked on a env file for that, using info I’ve gathered in various threads here. However, I'm more interested in just getting the ah4c:appletv setup first. So, can I just connect the ATV HDMI output to a spare monitor to make sure it is working before setting up the encoder?
• need to configure ports and environment within the container (how to do it)
• add Spectrum channels to m3u - where do you do this? I've created plenty of m3u playlists for CC4C.

I very much appreciate everyone's work on all of this, especially @bnhf with the development of this fork, and to @chasut for posting about use of Home Assistant with ATV back at the end of 2023 which I believe lead to the development of PyATV. I wanted to get started back at that time, but just haven’t had the time. It’s awesome there has been so much development since then. Hope I can give back in some way in the future.

EDIT: the link I needed is here: https://hub.docker.com/r/bnhf/ah4c
Now I see instructions for installation. I'll stumble through and report back here if questions. Still not clear on docker vs portainer.

So it looks like you have a good start, I would highly recommend using portainer. .

What I found extremely useful as a total newbie with docker, was to leverage chatgpt and have it walk you through the various steps..

In my case I used OliveTin for channels as a great learning experience, before proceeding with my more customized script for my apple tv based tuner project. Well worth establishing the basics first. But that was my choice.

Im on a mac system, so I first installed docker desktop. Linux might be different to get docker going. Then I installed portainer on top of that. With Portainer installed, you can easily build different “stacks”, one that I recommend first is olivetin for channels. Once you get olivetin working, it has a utility that will talk from portainer directly to the channels server. This is a fantastic first continuity check to prove that you can reliably talk from a docker container to the channels server on your system.

Once you have this baseline working, then you can start building your apple tv tuner stack..well worth a little extra prep before delving right in the appletv tuner implementation.

I'm not using docker at all for anything and am a total newbie there, which is part of my problem.

I'd recommend installing Docker using the convenience script, and then install OliveTin-for-Channels EZ-Start. This install allow you to install Portainer (a WebUI for Docker), and the full version of OliveTin-for-Channels:

Debian

OliveTin EZ-Start: The Next Generation. Deploy OliveTin-for-Channels from the Command Line without the Need for Portainer to be Installed in Advance!

The next generation of OliveTin EZ-Start is here! With the latest bnhf/olivetin:latest (bnhf/olivetin:2025.03.27) push, you can now install OliveTin EZ-Start from the Linux command line (Windows users, via Windows Terminal and Debian or Ubuntu WSL2 distros). Prerequisites: Channels DVR Docker (Docker or Docker Desktop) Steps (more detail below): Execute OliveTin EZ-Start Docker run command Go to http://ip.address.you.specified:1338 (note this is NOT the standard OliveTin 1337) Run the Inst…

Then once you have the full version of OliveTin-for-Channels installed, you can install just about any Channels-related Docker project using Project One-Click (including ah4c).

@arwrite

I'm using Spectrum & HD Homerun and have Channels DVR installed on Linux desktop.

BTW, if you don't already have a lot of time invested in using a Linux desktop OS, using a Linux server OS is really a better approach. I prefer Debian myself, although Ubuntu (based on Debian) is popular.

Desktop OS's are locked down in ways that just become obstacles; when what you're really trying to do is setup a server. Kind of a right tool for the job scenario...

Speaking of your script(s), have you posted it/them somewhere? I don't believe I've added it to ah4c -- which I would like to do...
