Any plans to increase the number of tuners past 4 in the future? Is this a limitation because of processing resources? With more TVE fading away, I can see more tuners being needed. I have 9 available and a healthy server running and trying to determine the best way going forward.
A quick scan of the source code, and some of the scripts, leads me to believe expanding to 9 tuners should be OK. More are likely possible, but I think I'd want to try 9 first and see how it goes.
Give me your current STREAMER_APP value, and I'll build a test container you can try out.
STREAMER_APP=scripts/osprey/directv. I only have 5 Ospreys at this time, didn't want to get carried away until seeing what was possible. Also have some older & newer Onn's and a couple of Firesticks
I've been testing different options out, but I think the Ospreys are the most stable.
My thinking is one streamer App_ per container is probably more stable and easier to maintain than multiple containers using multiple streamer_apps. I do like having an Adbtuner available for backup.
New bnhf/ah4c:latest (aka bnhf/ah4c:2024.09.18) pushed today with support for up to 9 virtual tuners. These can be via a single or multiple encoders. The following sets of scripts have been updated for this support:
- scripts/firetv/directv
- scripts/firetv/dtvdeeplinks
- scripts/firetv/dtvstream
- scripts/firetv/dtvstreamdeeplinks
- scripts/osprey/directv
I'll eventually make this change across all script sets. If there's anyone using another set of scripts that would like this implemented sooner, rather than later, let me know.
Here's what things look like on the ah4c Activity & Logs page with 5 tuners configured:
And, here's how the ws-scrcpy menu looks (for doing any needed tasks on your streaming sticks), also with 5 tuners:
Here's the latest Docker compose, including this support, plus I'll post this in the usual places:
