NAME

       tvoe - TV over ethernet streaming

SYNOPSIS

       tvoe [-h] [-c config] [-f]

DESCRIPTION

       tvoe  (TV  over  Ethernet  streaming server) is a lightweight DVB-S/S2 network streaming software. It can
       serve many transponders on multiple tuners simultaneously and provides dynamic tuner  allocation  to  the
       clients, giving you the possibility to add more stations to the channel list than the tuner configuration
       would be able to stream simultaneously.

       tvoe is designed for a homogenous tuner configuration, i.e., if you are including DVB-S2-channels in your
       channel  list,  all configured tuners should be able to be S2-capable. Also, tvoe only supports S2API for
       tuner configuration. Some legacy systems and DVB-S1-only-drivers might not support S2API and thus  cannot
       be used with tvoe.

       tvoe  uses  the  same  format for channel lists as the zap(1) utility from dvb-tools.  They can be easily
       generated using scan, wscan or other utilities supporting the zap file format. For example, to generate a
       channel list of all channels on Astra 19.2E (mostly relevant for central Europe), you can do

       scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E > channels.conf

       All channels listed in the channels.conf will be served by tvoe. If  necessary,  remove  unused  channels
       from the list before using it.

       Next, adjust the example config file to match your tuner configuration. Make sure to set the correct path
       to the channel list. You can then start tvoe using tvoe -f CONFIGFILE

       The  streams  can then be accessed via http://IP:CONFIGURED_PORT/by-sid/SID, where SID is the DVB service
       ID of the requested station (the second-last column  in  the  channel  specification  in  channels.conf).
       Additional URLs might be added in the future.

OPTIONS

       -h     Display a short usage summary

       -c config

       --p pidfile
              Write process PID to given pidfile

       --q    (quiet) - don't write debug output to stdout when starting.

       -f     Start tvoe as a foreground process and disable forking to the background.

AUTHORS

       tvoe  is  written  by  Dominik Paulus, inspired by the classic getstream utility but designed for greater
       flexibility by not using a fixed transponder configuration.

BUGS

       At the moment, tvoe only supports S2API, even for normal DVB-S-streams.
