abertpy

Overview

abertpy is a utility designed to enable Spanish TDT (Digital Terrestrial Television) reception via the Hispasat 30.0W satellite using TVHeadend. Unlike other tools that depend on proprietary hardware or closed setups, abertpy offers a more flexible and automated integration with TVHeadend.

Key Features

• 🔄 Automatically recreates MUXes based on live reception (no static lists)
• 📅 EPG (Electronic Program Guide) support
• 🌐 Supports both local and remote TVHeadend setups (local is recommended)
• 🧩 Fully integrated. No external scripts required

Prerequisites

Before installing abertpy, ensure the following components are properly set up:

• ✅ A working TVHeadend instance already receiving Abertis channels via Hispasat 30.0W
• 🧪 TSDuck installed (specifically the tsanalyze binary)
• 🔐 Oscam-emu running and configured in TVHeadend
  • ⚠️ Use DVB-API (caPMT) protocol instead of CCcam or New and
• 📦 pipx installed (uvx or any other are fine too)

Installation

1. Install abertpy globally via pipx:

   sudo pipx install --global abertpy
   

2. Verify TVHeadend can access abertpy:

   sudo su hts -s /bin/bash -c "abertpy ping"
   

3. Discover your Hispasat network UUID (this will fail intentionally to list available networks):

   abertpy -t http://tvheadend.lan:9981/
   

4. Run the setup with the correct network UUID:

   abertpy -t http://tvheadend.lan:9981/ -n <your_network_uuid>
   

5. (Optional) Add or update your SoftCam.key file: SoftCam.key gist
