This will be a longer thread, especially till i find out how to attach log files 
I try to connect the Elgato Netstream Sat4 tuner. Its a quad tuner with Sat>IP protocol with no configuration possibilities on the tuner side (in stock mode).
It would be a dream to replace the crappy EyeTV4 sw with NextPVR.
I have this tuner running with some ffmpeg tasks since long time. Strangely those stopped working some months ago and a further inspection did bring up some changes on the ffmpeg side. I still dont know if i did upgrade ffmpeg or if my memos were wrong but it needed some adaption:
In my old shellscripts i did capture the stream with:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://sat.ip/?src=1&freq=11053&pol=h&ro=0.35&msys=dvbs2&mtype=8psk&plts=off&sr=22000&fec=23&pids=0,17,18,600,601 ...
It did not work anymore, further investigation showed that the ffmpeg suite did this:
It didnt call SETUP
I found out ffmpeg (at least the newer versions!?) need another url to get Sat>IP to work, instead of rtsp:// you need satip:// to make it work.
So this works:
