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

[chrispederick]

I'm posting this more as an FYI and in case other people see this as it took me a little while to work out what had happened.

My AH4C was no longer properly recording shows. It would wake up the FireSticks and open the DTVStream app, but didn't tune to the right channel. It turns out this is because of the current dispute between DTV and Disney where all the Disney channels like ABC, ESPN, etc. are offline. If the DTVStream app was last on one of these channels then AH4C doesn't work properly because it is currently showing a static text screen about the dispute and AH4C stops when it cannot detect audio. The fix is of course to manually tune to another station that has audio and then AH4C starts working again.

This is obviously a unique edge case and easily fixed manually, but I'm about to go on vacation and don't know when this dispute will be resolved so it would be nice if there was a way that AH4C could gracefully recover from something weird like this. I don't know if this is a sound idea or not, but I wonder if the audio check fails that it could try tuning to the desired channel regardless and then re-run the audio check or something?

I'll give this more thought, but detecting active audio is an important touchstone in this type of tuning. If we don't have active audio, and just start sending adb commands, all sorts of undesirable things can happen.

There is a similar situation that can arise when baseball or football games are blacked out, and the way we deal with that is to call those "special channels", and bump the channel up one or down one (to a channel we're confident will have audio) before exiting:

#Check for active audio stream with maxDuration, preTuneAudioCheck, sleepBeforeAudioCheck and sleepAfterAudioCheck as arguments
activeAudioCheck() {
  local startTime=$(date +%s)
  local maxDuration=$1
  local minimumLoudness=-50
  local sleepBeforeAudioCheck=$3
  local sleepAfterAudioCheck=$4
  local preTuneAudioCheck=$2
  
  while true; do
    sleep $sleepBeforeAudioCheck
    checkLoudness=$(ffmpeg -t 1 -i $encoderURL -filter:a ebur128 -map 0:a -f null -hide_banner - 2>&1 | awk '/I:        /{print $2}')

    if (( $(date +%s) - $startTime > $maxDuration )); then
      echo "Active audio stream not detected in $maxDuration seconds."
      if [ $preTuneAudioCheck = "false" ]; then
        echo "Active audio stream not detected after tuning completed"
        case "$specialID" in
          "212")
            echo "Possible sports event blackout on NFL Network, so bumping channel up"
            $adbTarget shell input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT
            echo 0 > "$streamerNoPort/last_channel"
            exit 1
            ;; 
          "213")
            echo "Possible sports event blackout on MLB Network, so bumping channel down"
            $adbTarget shell input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT
            echo 0 > "$streamerNoPort/last_channel"
            exit 1
            ;; 
          *)
            echo "Possible sports event blackout, so bumping channel down"
            $adbTarget shell input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT
            echo 0 > "$streamerNoPort/last_channel"
            exit 1
            ;;
        esac
      else
        exit 1
      fi
    fi

    if (( $(echo "$checkLoudness > $minimumLoudness" | bc -l) )); then
      echo "Active audio stream detected with $checkLoudness LUF."
      break
    fi

    echo "Active audio stream not yet detected -- loudness is $checkLoudness LUF. Continuing..."
    sleep $sleepAfterAudioCheck
  done
}

Looking at the code this should work for the Disney situation too, though if the channel number is not 212 or 213, then the channel is always bumped down -- which could be to another Disney channel.

So, you could either remove those channels from your M3U temporarily, or we could add them to the above case statement with the right number and direction for channel moves so we don't land on another Disney-owned channel.

@chrispederick

It just occurred to me that this "blackout" logic may not be working at all with the newer DTV app. We probably need to select the current channel first to make it full screen before bumping the channel in either direction. Does that seem correct to you based on what you're seeing on failed tunes?

[ngdot24]

While I wait for the encoder, I did my best to fire up portainer to get things sort of preconfigured.

I assume this is about as far as I can go while waiting for the linkpi?

[chrispederick]

Maybe... I think in the new app the current code will move between the quick link thumbnails at the top of the screen which does then start audio playing. So as long as those quick link channels (I assume they are the most recently tuned channels) have audio then it should still work if I'm understanding the logic correctly.

And yeah, I was thinking about disabling those Disney channels for now (or just pausing any passes that will try to record from a Disney channel). The timing is just annoying that I'm about to be away from home for a couple of weeks, so if things change while I'm gone it will be a bit of effort for me to roll things back while I'm on vacation.

Again, totally not expecting a "fix" here or anything. Your point about just sending adb commands potentially causing problems totally makes sense. Just thought it was an interesting issue and posting about it might be helpful for someone else who might be seeing it.

Yes.

[ngdot24]

Linkpi is here. I can see the video on the Linkpi webUI fed from DirecTV from the FireTV stick as well as VLC using this URL;

http://192.168.1.101/live/stream0

However,

Now I'm kinda stuck--what do I need to do now?

EDIT:

Ok, I added it as a custom source in Channels,

but i don't think this is in any way communicating with the FireTV? I can see its connected, and I ok'd the connection on the FireTV itself

I see this in the Channels log;

@ngdot24

http://192.168.1.101/live/stream0

This URL is actually a redirect, which doesn't play nice with a proxy like this. Use http://192.168.1.101:8090/stream0

If you're still having issues, please post the env vars you're using in your ah4c Portainer stack.

[ngdot24]

Beauty, updating the URL from http://192.168.1.101/live/stream0 to http://192.168.1.101:8090/stream0 seems to have done the task.

WITH THAT SAID

Holy cow, what a process to get a channel tuned! You had mentioned deeplinks, does that speed up the process at all, or is it still a ~30 second process to tune to a new channel when watching a channel?

Deeplinks definitely speed things up. I haven't really put a stopwatch to it, but tuning time is probably cut by 1/3 or 1/2. Since I'm the one that wrote the scripts, I tend to favor reliability over speed, as I hate having recordings messed up. Personally, I watch sports live, but most every thing else is recorded -- where tuning speed is a non-issue.

[ngdot24]

That's fair, I just know from my initial testing that their is about a 0% chance that this is going to fly in its current form with the wife as she likes to flip around between her handful of favorite channels.

Me? I put the game and and call it a day, but here we are!

Anyway, what's the process for deeplinks? I seen it mentioned briefly in the thread, and I'm ready to dig in.

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

FYI, DirecTV's app does have deep links. But they're not in an easy to guess format, and satelite, internet and stream customers have different values, and the values for the RSNs vary from area to area as they have seperate entries for out of market national and hyperlocalized feeds. The quickest way to find them is go to to open up the developers console on a web browser, go to the network tab, navigate to stream.directv.com/guide, look for a GET request to AllChannels and use the "copy as Cu…

@ngdot24

Also, I forgot to mention the DTV Osprey box option. The Osprey is Android-based, and supports developers mode, so they can also be used as a streaming "stick" connected to an encoder. Tuning time is reasonably fast on those, perhaps slightly faster than deeplinks.

Osprey boxes are only available used as I recall. Search this thread if you want to find more info.

[ngdot24]

Cool,

I've got my .json file now with the links--whats next?

Edit: I did some shaping of the .json file and now have structured deeplinks with the

dtvnow://deeplink.directvnow.com/play/channel/{callSign}/{resourceId}

structure

My links are formatted like this

NFL Network

dtvnow://deeplink.directvnow.com/play/channel/NFLHD/b7effab4-2677-a11a-6505-d5e1ef60f465

You need to create your dtvdeeplinks.m3u file from the JSON data -- which needs to look like this when complete:

Everything is working great, thank you for all your help!

do any modifications need to be done in the linkpi as far as changing values, is the default the best choice?

Also, now that everything is working great with this 1:1 config, how big of a pain is it to add an additional linkpi--the linkpi enc5-v2?

Is it as simple as adding it as another source in Channels and the docker yml?

That'd get me to my desired 6 tuner setup

It seems...unhappy!

I edited the dtvdeeplinks.m3u file in the \m3u directory with my channel lineup, thats what the ChannelsDVR log says when trying to tune

Once you have your M3U setup the way you want it, you'll need to change your STREAMER_APP value to scripts/firetv/dtvdeeplinks (this is for testing only, as I'll have you use dtvstreamdeeplinks ultimately). And, then you'll need to reload the M3U in Channels using the dropdown option for that purpose in your Custom Channel source.

Also, you'll want to add Gracenote IDs to your M3U entries, so they don't need to matched up by hand to guide data.

You could definitely change the Main stream bitrate to 8000 for one thing. There are other possible tweaks described in the LinkPi thread.

I only ever allowed for 4 tuners in my scripts, and the ah4c Go code may also be limited to 4 also. You can however set up a second container pointed at the same data directory. You would need to add it a second source, and it would need to use a different port. I have 3 containers running, and they use 7654, 7664 and 7674 along with 7655, 7665 and 7675 for ws-scrcpy ports respectively.

Use ah4c2 for the stack name, container name and hostname. With Gracenote station IDs in your M3U, Channels should roll over to the next source when all tuners are active in the first.

[ngdot24]

What's the best way to add the Gracenote IDs to my existing M3U?

OliveTin-for-Channels has an Action specifically for that purpose. Plus it's another of my projects :

OliveTin for Channels: An Interface for Misc Channels DVR Scripts & Tricks

I've been working on a Channels DVR specific version of the OliveTin project. The idea is to make this a central interface for the various scripts people have developed, and miscellaneous tricks that require Python, cURL, jq or whatever. I'll build and maintain the container, including whatever dependencies are required for your favorite script or command line magic for Channels DVR. Here are some screenshots of a few things I have running so far, just to give you an idea of what's possible. I'…
