Hi all,

I'm trying to consolidate my stuff a bit and got a 4Sat these days. I'm trying to run VDR-2.6.0 with the satip plugin connecting to the Satip device. 4 receivers, 2x S19.2E, 2x S13.0E. So far, the LNB ran on a DD Cine PCI-E card just fine. (but I want to get rid of the server). (Tuner #4 is a Fritzbox cable receiver).

Initially, all seems to look good:

but a minute later,

etc. etc. endlessly, and with netstat I see a lot of attempted rtsp connects:

tcp 0 0 192.168.20.1:42764 192.168.20.7:554 ESTABLISHED 5219/vdr tcp 0 0 192.168.20.1:53584 192.168.20.7:554 TIME_WAIT -

What might be wrong? Any experience that you can share? Should I return this device because it is known not to work with the satip plugin? (Not that I didn't google this before, to no avail.)

I would have preferred an Octopus Net S2, but these devices were withdrawn and are hard to find.

TIA!

Cheers, hm
