# Quickstart guide for MuMuDVB

Brice Dubost

## 1. What is this quickstart guide ?

In 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). DVB-C and ATSC are similar.

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

If you don’t know your transponder frequencies, have a look to the README_CONF

## 2. DVB-S

- First install mumudvb

  - Use the debian package, or

  - type `./configure` then `make` in the mumudvb directory and, as root, `make install`

- You have to find which 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, which contains :

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

Example :

    autoconfiguration=full
    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 addresses

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

Note | If you want to stream a subset of the transponder you can use autoconf_sid_list

## 3. DVB-T

- It’s the same way as DVB-S except that you need other information on 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=full
    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 one ore several `-v` to the mumudvb command line to have more detailed 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.

Note | You can easily select a part of a transponder using autoconf_sid_list
