Re: [vdr] Unwatchable channels (vdr-xine, dxr3, vlc, mplayer)
which DVB card and which driver version do you use? I also had those problems with an old skystar 2. Nr of pid filters was too low and datarate of the stream was to high to transport it completely I was told. Later I bought a TT s2-3200 and problems were gone on these transponder but there were new transponders in dvb-s2 on Thor 1°W SR 3 8psk which showed the same problem which noone was able to fix. By chance several month later Andreas Regel increased the size of the ringbuffer for my card and problems are gone with s2-liplianin driver. kind regards Newsy --- Luca Olivetti schrieb am Di, 5.10.2010: > Von: Luca Olivetti > Betreff: Re: [vdr] Unwatchable channels (vdr-xine, dxr3, vlc, mplayer) > An: "VDR Mailing List" > Datum: Dienstag, 5.

Re: [vdr] Unwatchable channels (vdr-xine, dxr3, vlc, mplayer)
En/na Newsy Paper ha escrit: which DVB card and which driver version do you use? I also had those problems with an old skystar 2. Nr of pid filters was too low and datarate of the stream was to high to transport it completely I was told. The card is indeed a skystar 2, but these are fairly low bitrate channels, and dvbstream has no problem with them (hence excluding an issue with the card or the signal). It's true that dvbstream is only streaming the audio and video pids, while vdr is also using filters for eit/pmt/sdt, but I don't really think that's a problem, otherwise I'd see it with other, more demanding, channels, that actually work fine. I have no problem with various hd channels and also have no problem recording/watching several channels at once (on the same transponder), so that also should exclude a problem with the available amount of pid filters.

Ah, I see, you refer to the global bandwidth of the transponder and that it could exceed the capacity of the skystar2 if more than 6 pid filters are needed and it switches to full ts streaming. That could indeed be the case, I'll check when I'm at home. Bye -- Luca ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] Why won't my DVB-S work?
Hi I've added a DVB-S card to my vdr-1.7.16, but I can't get a picture. I can do an szap as follows: TV3:12456:h:0:22500:512:650:1920 ./szap -l 11300 -c channels-conf/dvb-s/OptusD1E160 TV3 reading channels from file 'channels-conf/dvb-s/OptusD1E160' zapping to 1 'TV3': sat 0, frequency = 12456 MHz H, symbolrate 2250, vpid = 0x0200, apid = 0x028a sid = 0x0780 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' status 1f | signal cd82 | snr be5c | ber ff00 | unc fffe | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ccf8 | snr bccd | ber | unc fffe | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal cd03 | snr bcbe | ber | unc fffe | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal cd0b | snr bc6a | ber | unc fffe | FE_HAS_LOCK I can do a scan: ./scan -c -o vdr using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' Network Name 'Freeview' 0x0016 0x0794: pmt_pid 0x0122 TVWORKS -- C42 (running) 0x0016 0x0787: pmt_pid 0x0121 Kordia Limited -- Shine TV (running) 0x0016 0x078f: pmt_pid 0x0119 GeorgeFM -- GeorgeFM (running) 0x0016 0x0786: pmt_pid 0x0110 TVWORKS -- TV3 PLUS1 (running) 0x0016 0x0780: pmt_pid 0x010a TV Works -- TV3 (running) 0x0016 0x0781: pmt_pid 0x010b TV Works -- C4 (running) 0x0016 0x0782: pmt_pid 0x010c STRATOS Limited -- STRATOS (running) 0x0016 0x0783: pmt_pid 0x010d Kordia Limited -- Parliament TV (running) 0x0016 0x0784: pmt_pid 0x010e Kordia Limited -- CUE (running) 0x0016 0x0785: pmt_pid 0x010f Maori Television Service -- Te Reo (running) 0x0016 0x0789: pmt_pid 0x0113 Radio New Zealand -- RNZ National (running) 0x0016 0x078a: pmt_pid 0x0114 Radio New Zealand -- RNZ Concert (running) 0x0016 0x0790: pmt_pid 0x011a Kordia -- BaseFM (running) 0x0016 0x0788: pmt_pid 0x0112 SKY -- PRIME (running) dumping lists (15 services) TV3;TV Works:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:512:650:712:0:1920:47:22:0 C4;TV Works:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:513:651:0:0:1921:47:22:0 TV3 PLUS1;TVWORKS :12483:h:S160.0E:22500:518:656:0:0:1926:47:22:0 C42;TVWORKS:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:531:674:0:0:1940:47:22:0 PRIME;SKY:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:520:658=eng:0:0:1928:47:22:0 Parliament TV;Kordia Limited:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:515:653=eng,690=ang:0:0:1923:47:22:0 CUE;Kordia Limited:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:516:654=eng:0:0:1924:47:22:0 Te Reo;Maori Television Service:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:517:655=eng:0:0:1925:47:22:0 Shine TV;Kordia Limited:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:530:673=eng:0:0:1927:47:22:0 STRATOS;STRATOS Limited:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:514:652=eng:0:0:1922:47:22:0 RNZ National;Radio New Zealand:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:0:659=eng:0:0:1929:47:22:0 RNZ Concert;Radio New Zealand:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:0:660=eng:0:0:1930:47:22:0 [078b];(null):12483:h:S160.0E:22500:0:661=eng:0:0:1931:47:22:0 GeorgeFM;GeorgeFM:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:0:665=eng:0:0:1935:47:22:0 BaseFM;Kordia:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:0:666=eng:0:0:1936:47:22:0 Done.
