Quetzacoalt91/dvbrouter

dvbrouter

Proxy and manager of mumudvb instances

Introduction

Forwarding DVB signal to a network can be done thanks to tools like Mumudvb. Following the documentation, one instance of it allows to retrieve the channels of one multiplex.

To broadcast additional channels that are on another multiplex, tutorials recommends to use a dual channel DVB receiver and to start another process of the same software. This case works if the system has as many tuners as multiplexes to use.

To avoid having to choose between multiplexes, this project has been created:

  • It creates a playlist of channels on startup from a group of configuration files,
  • It starts automatically mumudvb instances once a client opens a request to one the channel present in the playlist,
  • It forwards the client to the stream once ready,
  • It closes the process when no more clients watch an existing multiplex.

Configuration

The configuration file can be found in config/app.json.

  "version": 1,
  "server": {
    "port": 3001, // Port to listen to
