here is the logs. Let me know if you need others

Ok, so you haven't tried to play this in NextPVR yet, just running the script.

When I check your command

sudo python3 opendct.py "START" "DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1" 1003 | ffplay -i pipe: -v panic

I think you are missing the port number on the test. Does the extra file have an additional parameter after the 1003?

Actually it doesn't matter it will send the default port 7819 for testing (it has been a long time since I had a look at this) you could add 7824 for completeness but it isn't necessary.

This looks good.

16:01:28.774 [SageTVRequestHandler-85CT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1] INFO NIOSageTVMediaServer - Connecting to SageTV server on socket /192.168.2.254:7819...

but this means the python server error

16:04:18.794 [SageTVRequestHandler-89:Unknown] DEBUG SageTVRequestHandler - SageTV sent: 'STOP DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1'

but the server was running and communicating well

Edit opendct.py and remove the comment character # in front of lines 136 and 139, 150 and 152 and try the test again. You can redirect to a file instead of ffplay.

no # on those lines

[run088]

sudo bash opendct.sh 1110 "DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1" /tmp/some.ts

stills plays 1mb file.

That is if you wanted the # in front of the print lines.

[mvallevand]

That syntax is wrong you want > /dev/null or a file.

Which opendct.py file are you using? Maybe zip it and I can compare with the one I am looking at here, there should be some output to stderr on the console.

I put back the #'s This seemed to introduce errors and slowdown

[run088]

sudo python3 opendct.py "START" "DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1" 1003 /tmp/so.ts

and stop seem to work fine and produce files. This is without your last changes

[run088]

/var/opt/nextpvr/scripts$ sudo bash opendct.sh 1110 "DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1" /tmp/some.ts
START DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1|1110|12345678|/tmp/some.ts|Great
OK

Exit

679996

Exit
STOP DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1
OK

This is what produces the  1mb file
