which can communicate via the Real Time Streaming Protocol (e.g. VLC player), to control the satellite tuners of
your Multibox via RTSP commands.
Example using the VLC player: Select "Media" -> "Open Network Stream" and type the network URL. The URL
must look as follows (values in square brackets are place holders):
rtsp://[Multibox IP address]/?src=[DiSEqC command]&fe=[tuner]&freq=[satellite frequency]&sr=[ symbol rate]&pol
=[polarization]&msys=[demodulation standard]&pids=[PAT,V-PID.A-PID.PMT]
An example should look like this:
rtsp://192.168.0.166/?src=1&freq=10744&sr=22000&pol=h&msys=dvbs&pids=0,400,401,402
In this example the Multibox device with an IP address 192.168.0.166 will tune to DiSEqC Position A (src=1), fre-
quency 10744MHz (freq=10744), symbol rate 22MSym/s (sr=22000), polarization horizontal (pol=h), DVB-S mod-
ulation (msys=dvbs), and the necessary PIDs – PAT pid, PMT-pid, Video-pid and Audio-pid - (pids=0,400,401,402).
As there is no frontend selected (fe=[Tuner]), this will be handled automatically by the Multibox device which will
assign a free front end (if available) for executing the command. You can find the values necessary for satellite
reception in the internet (e.g. at www.kingofsat.net).
