MPEGts

Functions relating to DVB networks, multiplexes and services. Further service functions can be found in the Service section. ADMIN privilege is required for all these functions.

mpegts/input/network_list

Lists the network(s) associated with a given input device.

• uuid The uuid of the specific hardware device.

To find the input device uuid, use hardware/tree?uuid=root, then take the id value from the output and use it as the value of uuid in another call to hardware/tree. From the output of this function select the id corresponding to the specific front-end device required.

      }
   ]
}

mpegts/network/grid

Lists available networks. The standard parameters listed in Grid Parameters may be used. The items returned depend on the type of network - terrestrial, satellite, IPTV etc.

mpegts/mux/class

Lists the text strings, options and defaults used when configuring the DVB capability within TVH (ie Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Muxes).

mpegts/service/grid

Lists available mpegts services. The standard parameters listed in Grid Parameters may be used.

• hidemode The default is to show only services where the multiplex is enabled and the service has been verified. Setting this parameter to all also hides services which are not enabled, setting it to none shows all services.

dvb_servicetype can be used to determine what kind of service is being broadcast. The possibilities are:

• Radio: 0x02

• SD TV: 0x01, 0x16, 0x17, 0x18, 0x80, 0x96, 0xa8, 0xd3

• HD TV: 0x11, 0x19 - 0x1e, 0x91, 0xa0, 0xa4, 0xa6

• UHDTV: 0x1f

mpegts/service/class

Lists the text strings, options and defaults used when configuring the DVB capability within TVH (ie Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Services).

mpegts/mux_sched/class

Lists the text strings, options and defaults used when configuring the DVB capability within TVH (ie Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Mux Schedulers).

mpegts/mux_sched/grid

List the entries as found under Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Mux Schedulers. The standard parameters listed in Grid Parameters may be used.

   "entries" : [
      {
         "mux" : "93b544d663e5313b12991fe9926ae4af",

      }
   ],

}

mpegts/mux_sched/create

Untested. Create a mux schedule, presumably from a structure similar to that from mpegts/mux_sched/grid.

dvb/orbitalpos/list

Lists orbital positions and the satellites occupying them. The list is distributed with tvheadend; satellite reception is not necessary to use this API.

{
   "entries" : [
      {
         "key" : "177W",
         "val" : "177W : NSS 9"
      }, ...
   ]
}

dvb/scanfile/list

Lists the available frequency scan tables.

• type One of 'dvb-s', 'dvb-t', 'dvb-c', 'atsc-t', 'atsc-c', 'isdb-t'.

• satpos For dvb-s, the satellite position in degrees multiplied by 10 with East positive (so 28.2E is written as 282). The position must be accurate within +/- 0.2 degrees.

This function requires the dvb-scan files to be present on the server. They are installed by default (in /usr/share/tvheadend/data/) but are omitted if configure argument '--disable-dvbscan' is used. Distributions may also choose to package them separately.

{
   "entries" : [
      {
         "val" : "> 28.2E:Astra",
         "key" : "dvb-s/geo/dvb-s_> 28.2E:Astra"
      }
   ]
}
