| Muxes are locations at which services can be found. On traditional | ||
| networks (DVB-C, -T and -S), these are carrier signals on which the | ||
| individual channels are multiplexed, hence the name. However, Tvheadend | ||
| also uses the term ‘mux’ to describe a source for multiple IP | ||
| streams - so an IP address, in effect. | ||

| ###Playing a Mux | ||
|
|
||
| You can stream a complete multiplex by copying/pasting the *Play* link | ||
| into the desired player/software. | ||
|
|
||
| **Notes**: | ||
| * The *Play* links don't link to the actual stream but to a playlist for | ||
| use with media players such as VLC, If you'd prefer to receive the raw | ||
| transport stream instead, you can do so by removing the `/play/` path from | ||
| the *Play* URL. | ||
| * Not all devices support receiving a complete mux, notably low | ||
| powered set-top-boxes and older USB tuners. | ||
|
|
||

|
|
||
| ###Adding a Mux | ||
|
|
||
| To add a mux press the *[Add]* button from the menu bar and select the | ||
| network you want to add the mux to. | ||
|
|
||
| You only really need to add muxes if the pre-defined list didn't | ||
| work, e.g. because of out-of-date data as broadcasters re-arrange their | ||
| services or because automatic detection (network discovery) hasn't | ||
| successfully found all the muxes over time. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| **Notes**: | ||
| * Some tuners (or drivers) require more tuning parameters than | ||
| others so be sure to enter as many tuning parameters as possible. | ||
| * Newly added muxes are automatically set to the *PEND* state. | ||
| * Tvheadend won't scan the newly added mux instantly, it can take up to | ||
| 10 minutes to begin an initial scan. | ||

| ###Editing a Mux | ||
|
|
||
| To edit a mux highlight the desired mux from within the grid, and | ||
| press the *[Edit]* button from the menu bar. | ||
|
|
||
| **Tip**: You can also make changes to a mux from within the grid. | ||
|

|
|
||
| ###Deleting a Mux | ||
|
|
||
| To edit a mux highlight the desired mux from within the grid, and | ||
| press the *[Delete]* button from the menu bar. | ||
|
|
||
| Deleting a mux will also remove any associated services, including | ||
| those mapped to channels. If you have network discovery enabled any | ||
| previously deleted muxes found in the NIT during a scan will | ||
| automatically be re-added. | ||
|
|
||
| **Tip**: You can select all muxes within the grid by pressing ctrl+A. | ||
| You can also ctrl+click to make additional selections, or shift+click to | ||
| select a range. | ||
