  • Plex setup Integrating with Plex Media Server requires the extra configuration steps documented in the Plex section of the Docker image README. source

Common questions

How do I run sstvProxy from the Python source?

Configure sstvProxy.py for your setup, create and activate a virtualenv, install requirements.txt with pip3, and run sstvProxy.py with python3. The Python source is the most current version, and the compiled executables have no functional differences.

How do I start sstvProxy automatically on Ubuntu?

Copy sstvProxy.service to /etc/systemd/system/sstvProxy.service after changing the paths to your setup. Then run daemon-reload, enable the service, and start it.

How can I combine SSTV channels with another playlist?

Add EXTM3URL or EXTM3UFILE in the advanced settings to provide a URL or file source, and set EXTM3UNAME as the group name. A URL source has priority over a file source.

How do I feed sstvProxy into TVHeadend and then into Plex?

Set TVHREDIRECT to true in the advanced settings and provide the TVHeadend URL, username, and password using TVHURL, TVHUSER, and TVHPASS.

How can I inspect files inside the sstvproxy Docker container?

Enter the container with docker exec -it stokkes-sstvproxy1 sh and use ls to list the contents. The visible root includes the app and config directories.
