Installing and using StreamCore

1. Installation

Use a 64-bit Debian server with root access and an Internet connection. When migrating from Astra, first keep a copy of /etc/astra/astra.conf.

1. Paste the complete command as the root user.
2. Wait for package and service validation.
3. Open http://SERVER-IP:8090.
4. Sign in and open Server → License.

2. Activating the license

1. In the Engine, copy the complete Hardware ID shown in Server → License.
2. In the portal, open My licenses and select the license for that server.
3. Use Generate code for online activation, or download license.sclic.
4. If you download the file, upload it from the Engine license page.

3. Adding channels

1. Open Transmission → Channels and select Add channel.
2. Enter a name and a unique identifier.
3. Select the source: DVB, UDP, HTTP/HLS, SRT or another available input.
4. Configure the source and select a processing profile when transcoding is required. Use Copy to preserve the original codec.
5. Configure the output selected by the customer and save.
6. Start the channel and verify bitrate, continuity and errors before publishing it.

Importing from Astra

In Server → Astra Import, review the detected file, run the audit and confirm only valid channels. Duplicate identifiers must be corrected before importing.

4. DVB adapters and SoftCAM

1. In DVB Adapters, refresh the inventory and confirm that Linux detects every tuner.
2. Create the adapter using the correct frequency, polarization, symbol rate and DVB system.
3. Scan services and add only the required programs.
4. In SoftCAM, add the Newcamd/CCcam connection and select Test connection.
5. Assign the SoftCAM to the encrypted channel and review CA/ECM monitoring.

5. HLS and HTTP outputs

In System → Network and outputs, choose the gateway ports and save. Channel URLs must use the public port selected by the customer and must not remain fixed to the internal port 8088.

1. Configure the public HTTP port.
2. Select the access policy: open, authorized network or IPTV accounts.
3. Save and apply.
4. Copy the generated channel URL and test it in VLC.

6. Private nodes

Each installation generates its own Node ID and private tunnel. To link servers, both must have an active license and Share this node enabled.

1. Copy the remote server's Node ID.
2. On the primary server, open Server → Nodes.
3. Add the remote Node ID and select Scan Node.
4. Compare channels and select backup or new channels.

HLS is transported between nodes. The backup automatically returns to DVB after the original signal becomes stable again.

7. Updates

In Server → Updates, check the published version. Before applying a change, StreamCore validates the package and keeps a recovery backup. Do not interrupt the server during an update.
