    Hi,

    dont`t know, if this thread ist still active. I tried to update my Netstream with the build from this thread (115_423) but it answers with an Error:  

    ###

    415 Unsupported Media Type

    firmware update failed

    ###

    Did anyone of you also face this error? Or is there another working firmware for a Netstream4s out there?

    Thank you

    Same here, it doesn't work. It's quite odd.

    They say that there is no web interface for firmware update, although there clearly is.

    https://www.geniatech.eu/faq/eyetv-netstream-4sat-firmware-update/

    And apparently we are prompted to update in the app if there is a firmware update. Well there clearly is a firmware update, but there is no way to load it.

     

     

    OMG, What the (f- word) are you guys doing? This firmware is NOT for EyeTV Netstream 4Sat, this firmware is only for older EyeTV Netstream Sat!!! 

     

    EyeTV Netstream 4Sat s latest firmware is Version: 1.1.0-402r1 which is already installed on most of sat>ip devices

     

    By the way. i have almost all sat devices from EyeTv and can answer your questions if you guys need help. (Elgato EyeTV Sat, EyeTV Netstream Sat, Elgato EyeTV Sat Free, EyeTV Netstream 4Sat v1 and v2).

    Same problem for me in the UK.  Eyetv 4 8517 shows HD streams without a problem, but from 8519 and later these streams are downgraded to an SD resolution.  I've had a look on the SAT>IP app and there seems to be no option to change the transcoding settings.

    It is kinda strange. this is what i see... There is a menu for that.. and i dont know why i have it and you guys dont have it

    I use netstream4sat. It works fine with EyeTv3 on my other Macs.

    Now switching to a fresh Catalina (no upgrade) and EyeTV4 (4.0.0. - v8520).

    EyeTV seems to work well. Recordings were made. Usually I exported my recording to iTunes (via h.264 conversion by Handbrake).

    Export doesn't work (seems stuck, no final file) but opening the package in finder does reveal the transport stream file (.ts).

    Unfortunately the .ts seems to be downsampled from the high res recording to standard definition - which seems odd (hi -res logo but lo-res recording, VLC and handbrake tell it's a lo-res video).

    It seems eyetv4sat is downsampling on any reason. Same recording with EyeTV 3 gets a hi-res stream.

     

    Any suggestions on how to force the netstream4sat and EyeTV4 to hi-res streams?

    Thanks Chris

     

    Hi Chris_ES,

    If you go to Eye Tv SAT>IP app (on IOS device), Under devices menu you can force the device to stream only original stream ( default value is Automatic if i recall it right)

    Could it be that you wanted to write more? Guess so. Well, what can I say? Elgato, then Geniatech and most probably also Apple with its continuously degrading software quality put all of us in a quite delicate situation. After the EyeTV 4 beta became more and more what it is I finally gave up using it and am now completely relying on an independently running Linux receiver solution (it would be nice, however, to be able to control/program it via EyeTV on macOS). The remaining Netstream 4sat device only serves our iOS clients in case there’s an urgent TV need there.

    Concerning my unwanted moderator job I fear to have to give it up soon as this forum mainly serves as a continuous spam feed and even deleting all the authors of those stupid content on a daily basis seems only to stimulate their activities.

    I am building/refining a script to keep my HD from getting overfull. We will take it as read and say a truly good person would be doing regular pruning and keeping things from getting out of hand. I am not that person so the drive gets pretty full and drastic measures have been needed. This script is part of a better plan. The bash script moves some recordings to another drive for archive storage and removes others. 

    As part of this I would like to know if a recording has been watched. I have found a flag in the .eyetvt folder associagted with each recording which marks whether the recording "IsUnplayed" and this does toggle to false once the recording has been played. My problem is it does not toggle back when the recording is marked "Not Watched" via the Eye TV interface. Clearly Eye TV knows the status of this setting bit I can't access it myself.

    I would like to use this "Not Watched" status to prune those recordings which have been watched already.  Here is a fragment… 

    
#!/usr/bin/env -S -P/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin bash
# FWIW: GNU bash, version 4.4.5(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin16.3.0)
# ...etc...
##### Configuration
##### 2018-06-21
#	Geniatech EyeTv 3.6.9
#	macOS High Sierra 10.13.5

# Rule 3 -- Over two weeks old and has been watched
#
REGEX=".*${SFX}\$"	# Pattern to find all the relevant files, ${SFX}='\.eyetv'
for ii in `find -E . -type d -regex ${REGEX} -Btime +2w -print`; do	# TODO check dates
	pList=`find -E ${ii} -type f -regex ".*\.eyetvr\$" -print` # identify the .plist file
	isUnplayed=`/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "print :isUnplayed" ${pList}` # check the flag
	if [ $isUnplayed == 'false' ] ; then
		echo "DEBUG: isUnplayed::${isUnplayed}] -- Delete this recording?:: `ls -dl ${ii}`"
	fi
done

    Does anybody know where this "Not Watched" is kept so I can access it?

    FWIW in looking for an alternate approach I have not been able to find an Applescript property which gives this status but may have missed it. If there is such a property I would be happy to use it rather then poking into .plist files.

    Thanks in advance.

    It is in  ~/Documents -> EyeTV Archive -> In the container file with .eyetv extension (right click on it and choose Show Package Contents) there you will see a XML file  *.eyetvr

     

    in this.eyetvr there is a key starts with <key>isUnplayed</key>

    if you see all channels from the start and you didnt do anything  extra like scaning channels, they are pre installed (donwloaded from geniatech database)

     

    in Netstream app what do you have for settings for your LNB? did you plug cable to the first tuner and not the second or not the third nor fourth?

    Is there any way to record a tv signal over the air including pay tv for later viewing.

    Have a good day

    EyeTV 3 supports Hauppauge WinTV CI USB , you can buy used ones on ebay. I have one and i use mine almost everyday since 2009-2010. even there is one right now on ebay, a german user sells his. You can even buy Geniatech Elgato EyeTV sat TV Tuner for dvb-s/s2 with CI slot. i have this one too, and works pretty good. DONT FORGET THAT CI+ is not supported! (oh yes there is "Geniatech Elgato EyeTV sat TV Tuner for dvb-s/s2 with CI slot"  on ebay right now. )

    hello,

    i want to by a Geniatech EyeTV Netstream 4Sat, DVB-S2. bevor i had a question:

    Is it possible that i connect my macmini over the existing usb  port to record movies (i have allrady installed the eye TV app)?

    regards

    They  (geniatech) say that USB port is for service only...

     

    But you can use your eyetv3 on macmini for recording/scheduling recordings and ect..

    ok it actually works, but you have to re install eye tv from zero,

    If you already a channel list in eyetv 3 it does not always work.

    i had same problem both on Astra 23,5E and Astra 19,2E and i never believed that reinstalling eyetv would fix the problem ( it recommended here in this forum) , but yes it does.

    EyeTV Netstream Sat uses m3u links, and you have to create them properly. First backup everything with the eye tv reporter and than uninstall eye tv, your settigns and channels.

    install eye tv from zero.  dont import your backup/settings and try! does it work? yes? good. Now upload your channel list to EyeTV Netstream Sat. check that you have all channels on your device by visiting devices ip. now import your backup, and download 19,2 m3u list from EyeTV Netstream Sat and replace your 19,2 configuration with the copy from EyeTV Netstream Sat

    that was a fast answer, thank you very much.

     

    I´d prefer wetransfer downloadlink  if it´s noch possible to dl directly from the eyetv Companyserver.

    i was expecting this question here but COME ON, you are asking for a beta release ! it is not even GM, i have also some problems on high sierra but it is a beta and it is the first beta, it is there just for experimenting. you/we cant/shouldnt expect support for it, and the cause is so clear it is first BETA! Just go back to to stable release of sierra.  How do you expect support from Geniatech or from a developer for a BETA release? Geniatech for sure will gather bugs and feedback but we shouldnt expect support tills Apple releases Golden Master. By the way i have also encountered same problem, thanks for solution. There is also a problem if you skip the first channel scan and "eyetv setup assistant". Eye tv crashes if channel list is empty. importing a channel list with EyeTV Reporter solves the problem.

    Hi fissionbomb,

    thank for report, thats a value workout! Reset Procedure: we try to reproduce the reset issue - but not successful so far - as we used it during QC testing for sure a lot - it works fine. For (astra 23,5) - ok let us check - what here the status quo is, we did not have an issue here before, need to repro and correct if necessary.

    please stay tuned - come back, LG Mike

     

    Hi again,

    i just recorded a video and tried to explain the reset procedure and the problem there. the thing that made me confused is how the old unit handels reset procedure when i compare to the reset procedure with the new one. i mean after reset procedure defaults are not there like the old one does. When i do a factory -reset it should reset the units name (right?) to Eyetv Netstram 4Sat (151), DHCP to DHCP ON, LNB settings to 4. Lets say that i will sell this device and want to restore defaults, but reset procedure does not restores default settings, imagine that i forgot DHCP at static IP and not as default ON, what the next person will do? 

    please take a look, here is the video , am i doing reset-procedure wrong?

    Hi guys , i believe i have found a bug in firmware of the new eyetv-netstream-4sat(refreshed) and a problem with the reset procedure. So i would like to inform you guys.
    it just started like a month ago (or maybe before). Eyetv on Mac OSX couldnt find channels on 23,5E Astra on my mac laptop. i went to my classic MacPro and tried there, i had already all channles from prevous scans, i deleted them (astra 23,5 channels) and started a clean scan. channel scan didnt find anything there either. i tried with eye tv version 4517, 4516, 4513. and Sat-ip app on mac (from DVBViewers creator) ( all eye tv apps on ios works/worked perfectly with the reciever). 
    To verify the problem, to test with another app and to reproduce the bug i used DVBViewer on PC win 10. 
    I started with DVBViewer to scan transponders but after second or third transponder DVBViewer just gave up and went to idle. I restarted "scan" again with status page by side, saw on eyetv-netstream-4sat  status page that they were communicating. But after three transponders 1=11487,V,1667,34,DVB-S,QPSK, 2=11508,V,14999,34,DVB-S,QPSK, 3=11581,H,2400,56,S2,8PSK DVBViewer gave up and went to idle.  i looked to the status page and there were no active users.  i started scan again, my ip and session id  appeared on status page, but after three transponders both devices went to idle. i tried couple of times, with couple of edited tranponder lists with deferent  SR values and i saw that problem comes with inactiv  tranponders that have lower SR values (from range from 941 to 2500)  in common. the lower SR values made eye netstream sat really sleepy (times out) and did drop the client/user, and tuner went to sleep :) for exemple if there is three tranponder in a row like those 6=11643,H,5500,34,S2,8PSK, 7=11676,V,1410,45,S2,QPSK, 8=11677,V,1024,23,S2,8PSK, 9=11679,V,1024,23,S2,8PSK, 10=11680,V,1024,23,S2,8PSK EyeTV Netstream 4Sat just drops the last two requests and sleeps.. i belive thet there is 1 minute time out. It goes through first three but it doesnt reach the end before time out..  EYEtv 3 keeps Netstream 4Sat awake and goes through tranponder list but scan finds 0 channels. 
    By the way EyeTV Netstream 4Sat Reset Procedure (https://www.geniatech.eu/eyetv/faq/eyetv-netstream-4sat-reset-procedure/) does nothing . after red led, lids the blue and it goes to red again but It doesnt restore factory defaults. I already tried it couple of times and all my settigns are still there.. is this reset procedure still valid for this new device?
    Adding low SR (active) tranponders  manually and zaping channels with eye tv app on Mac works tottaly ok, and thats why i love this new device so much, it handles low sr values much much better than the old one. like a month ago the scaning channels at astra 23,5E worked almost perfect on Mac side with the built-in satelite transponder list( in Eye tv resources file in the app). but not anymore. what happend since then? i went throuhg satelilte lists and edited 235 XML file but i just couldnt fixed the problem, i see that there is so many unused frequencies in resource file. can you guys just show me/us how to edit them properly? So i can delete lowSR tranponders and add them manualy after. maybe i edited them wrong..  i do get around this problem by adding transponders manually but it takes time a lot of time. 
    Can you guys please update transponder lists for Europe (major satelittes from 1W to 45E) once every three months or maybe often or/and can you guys fix that low SR tranponders without signal doesnt make the box sleepy?
    BUT please dont change/block ability to add and watch low sr channels , cause eyetv-netstream-4sat   handles them totally ok.

    I own (among other brands/types) both the Netstream 4C and HDHR3-4DC. The HDHR is recognized and functions with EyeTV & DVBlink & TVHeadend. The Netstream 4C functions only with EyeTV and not DVBlink. According to the people of DVBlogic the Netstreams uses a different protocol and does not use the regular DVB-C drivers.

    i experimented a lot with sat>ip standart, with minisatip  https://github.com/catalinii/minisatip installed raspberry pi and on these standarts -> dvc-c , dvb-c2, t and t2

    Can you please try SAT>IP Viewer, i can send the application to you. i would like to see how SAT>IP Viewer reacts on your netstream 4C. please contact me with a direct message

    Fact is that only 1 single app on the Mac is able to use the Netstream reason is that the Netstream uses protocol only know to Geniatech and does not work with default drivers.

    it is not that other apps (Mac or aTV) are crippled. Also there is more on this world than Satellite TV. There is 'over the air' and 'cable'. Also programs that I refer to are running on Mac not on aTV. 

    You clearly have a dislike of the aTV. Fine for you but this is primarily a Thread about the aTV and what Mac users expect from Geniatech !

    no no you really dont knw what you are talking about. 
    “Fact is that only 1 single app on the Mac is able to use the Netstream reason is that the Netstream uses protocol only know to Geniatech and does not work with default drivers.”

    i use, DVBlink ( oh yes DVBlink what a wonderfull app) DVBViewers mac application called  “Sat>IP viewer” and Eyetv 3. Lets count now - 1, 2 ,3 wow 3 different apps i do use regularly on my Mac computers on Mac OS WITH Netstream devices :)

     

    PC side? there are a lot of variety apps on PC side i use them also regularly with BootCamp on my Mac computers.

     

    atv4 is ok but not suitable for me, not a perfect device under Apples restricted world and strict rules...

    PS: By the way i work with IT, media and communication at a media company. and i am also a developer ;) and working with ios and learning Android. i can a lot about satellites, tv and radio communication.

    Another fact to stress is that there are very many apps that enable to watch live TV on the aTV4. The fact that these do not work with Netstream (but all do work with standard IP tuners) is the fact that Netstream uses a proprietary protocol. A secondary minus of this proprietary protocol is that only Geniatech software will work and no other software (even not the widely available TVHeadend, DVBlink).

     

    you dont know what you are talking about. if it is "proprietary protocol" why does it works and i can use my netstream 4s' (both the old and the new version) with a lot of variety of apps? And dont forget that they are listed at Astra SES s site? You are just talking b***s***. if it doesnt work on atv4 it doesnt mean that it is a "proprietary protocol" it means that those apps are crippled or restricted apps. just get rid of your atv 4. you should maybe try with a NvidiaShield Android TV . i do even watch UHD without any problem.  on my OnePlus One, my Nvidia Shield tv, my ipad, on all my computers both PC and Mac works perfectly with netstream devices. And NO, i dont even use official apps! i do use official app just for changing LNB settigns on netstream devices.
