Quickstart guide for MuMuDVB

1. What is this quickstart guide ?

It this guide I’ll explain how to stream a full transponder (all the channels multiplexed on the same carrier frequency) over a network, by assigning each channel to a different multicast IP. The SAP announces will automatically be generated.

For HTTP unicast or more advanced features, please refer to the full documentation.

I’ll take an example for DVB-S (satellite) and DVB-T (terrestrial)

I suppose you have one DVB card wich is already working, if you have more than one card refer to the full documentation.

2. DVB-S

First install mumudvb
- Use the debian package, or
- type make in the mumudvb directory and, as root, make install
You have to find wich transponder you want to stream.
- For European users you can use King Of Sat
- You need : the frequency, the polarisation and the symbol rate (srate)
Now create a config file, wich contains :

autoconfiguration=2
freq=__tranponder frequency in MHz__
pol=__polarisation H, V, L or R__
srate=__symbol rate__

Example :

autoconfiguration=2
freq=11785
pol=h
srate=27500

Now launch MuMuDVB with :

mumudvb -d -c __path to config file__

That’s all, you should get a list of the streamed channels with their IP adress

Note	The SAP (session announcement protocol) announces will be sent automatically.

3. DVB-T

It’s the same way as DVB-S excepted that you need other informations for tuning your card.

You can find these informations in : /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/ if you installed the dvb-utils package

Your config file will be :

autoconfiguration=2
freq=__frequency in kHz__

Note	If your bandwith is different from 8Mhz or if you experience tuning issues, look for the following parameters in README_CONF : bandwidth, qam, trans_mode, guardinterval, coderate

Note	The SAP (session announcement protocol) announces will be sent automatically.

4. Troubleshooting

Try adding -v to the mumudvb command line to have more detailled messages
If you experience tuning issues, try with other dvb software like scan or szap and check your parameters
If it still don’t work, look at common issues in the README and you can contact (see the README for getting the e-mail addresses)

Note	When contacting about an issue, please join the config file used and the output of MuMuDVB in verbose mode ( -vvv on the command line) and any other information that could be useful.
