The thing is that I start Sat to ip on v8 pro 2 and I dont see anything on VLC, network searching never finds anything. Please could someone help me? I want this for a TV where I dont have Sat input.
Thank you!

Make sure to activate the sat2ip in the menu, by default it is deactivated and each time the box is disconnected you have to activate it. It is also better to have the box connected by network cable. Finally close the VLC apk (close the apk, not just exit) and start it from the beginning, it will start loading the libraries and scanning the network. The channels should appear. Normally, this failure is because the VLC apk has not been closed. There are times that once the channel list is loaded, to see a channel you have to press twice.MiTKiNG wrote:Hi, I have recently purchased this unit (v8 pro 2) and everything works as expected but Sat to ip does notI have upgraded to last firmware published on this site (2019). One of the main reasons to purchase this unit is for its SATIP DLNA funcionality which allows me to see a channel list on VLC and cast them to a chromecast TV without SAT input. I come from an Engel mini with a poor sat to ip implementation where you must now the channels based on internal ips and manually imput ip urls on VLC.

Thank you for your response. Im very sure that I have double checked all of this. My deco is connected via ethernet cable, satip menu is ON (I know it switches off when deco turns off), I have kill VLC app, uninstalled and reopen to scan network and same resultsMake sure to activate the sat2ip in the menu, by default it is deactivated and each time the box is disconnected you have to activate it.

Also from a local network windows computer pc I see in network a device called GT Media appearing and dissapearing all the time... Like something is wrong.
Is this a firmware problem? hardware problem? Can anyone confirm if satip is working with last firmware? Should I try another firmware?
Thank you!
Thank you for your help. I have finally managed to solve my problem. Let me share my solution in case is valuable to other members. I have returned this rubbish and purchased an Vu+ Zero which actually works. And everything is working as expected.Hello,
It is strange what happens to you, it works perfectly for me both on the phone and on the PC, a folder called GTMedia appears as you say and inside another folder called satellite programs with the channels. The firmware that I have is the last one of 04.01.19.
