Re: [vdr] Safer diseqc setup ?

2007-02-10 Thread Gregoire Favre
Hello,

of course there is NO problem with vdr diseqc commands, see my posting 
with title "THANK YOU Reinhard Nissl (diseqc)" for more info.

Thank and have a good day,

RE: [vdr] Safer diseqc setup ?

2007-01-30 Thread Doughan Turk
I recently obtained a EMP-Centauri S170-CP-16 switch that does 16in by
16out. I attached the two LNC of each LNB to the switch. So the way it
should work according the docs is:

LNC 1-4 are Diseqc port 0
LNC 5-8 are Diseqc port 1
LNC 9-12 are Diseqc port 2
LNC 12-16 are Diseqc port 3

The switch automatically sends 13v and 18v alternating on the LNC to the
LNBs. Finally I need to use Tone to switch between the two LNBs on any
Diseqc port.

LNB 1 - Diseqc 0 and no tone
LNB 2 - Diseqc 0 and 22mhz tone
LNB 3 - Diseqc 1 and no tone
LNB 4 - Diseqc 1 and 22mhz tone
LNB 5 - Diseqc 2 and no tone
LNB 6 - Diseqc 2 and 22mhz tone
LNB 7 - Diseqc 3 and no tone
LNB 8 - Diseqc 3 and 22mhz tone

I use 5 legacy circular LNB and one Universal linear LNB. I tried many
variations of diseqc.conf without luck. Did anyone have any luck getting VDR
to control such a switch? Or can someone suggest a syntax for the Diseqc
commands

Thanks

They are in the order of ports on switch.
A non proved explanation is that the LNB needs 100ms to powerup until it can
work.

Did you also try to use your quiete similar setup under kaffeine ?

Re: [vdr] Safer diseqc setup ?

2007-01-29 Thread Ilariu Raducan

I also have problems with 4 quad LNBs on a diseqc switch (1.0 and another
2.0)
If I plug out the cable from the card and plug it back again (reset switch
and LNBs)
I can use szap to change the channels. I believe the quad LNBs have diseqc
switch
inside and at reset they are in backward compatible mode (Tone/Voltage).
In Diseqc specifications/recommendations they recommend the diseqc LNB
should ignore responding
to Tone/Voltage commands when they receive one diseqc command.
Unfortunately, I did not find the proper diseqc commands for the LNBs.

I will try today a workaround to reset the LNB before sending the
diseqc.conf sequence in backward compatible mode:
- switch to another LNB (hope the power will be cut for the one I need for
the channel)
- do the sequence for current channel
t v [E0 10 38 FF]  W500 (switch to LNB4 and wait 500) [E0 10 38 F0] W100 A
W15 t (switch to LNB1, wait for power to stabilize, use back compatible)

If I am lucky enough the switch will cut the power for the LNB1 when I
switch to LNB4.

Does anybody knows the Diseqc commands for Quad LNBs??

Thanks,
Ilariu

Hi Grégoire
There is a Diseqc command to reset (all) LNBs  :

maybe it could send in some cases.

Re: [vdr] Safer diseqc setup ?

2007-01-29 Thread Markus Hahn
Hi Grégoire 
There is a Diseqc command to reset (all) LNBs  :

[E0 00 00] 

maybe it could send in some cases.

I'm sorry, this IS what the code does:

kaffeine-0.8.3/kaffeine/src/input/dvb/dvbstream.cpp

Just have a look at these functions:

DvbStream::tuneDvb()
DvbStream::setupSwitch()
DvbStream::diseqc()

> I don't understand the difference betweem a diseqc and a multiswitch.

I don't think that there is any difference concerning switching. The
only difference I can think of is, that DiSEqC 1.0 allows you to select
a port/band among 16 while the "old" signalling supports only 8 ports/bands.

It's one of my try, but it don't work sowell here. So I guess it's not
totally what kaffeine does.

I don't understand the difference betweem a diseqc and a multiswitch.

I think I will go off VDR and look how to use mastetimer similar tool
under it, it's way too hard to setup diseqc under vdr.

Thank for all your help, unfortunately, I give up...

I do not see how the ports could interfere with each other. Your switch
provides 4 independent 1-of-3 switches and each of your 3 LNBs provides
4 independent 1-of-4 switches.

 Hhm, these settings only help in determining high/low band and the
 frequency to tune to. I first need to take a look into the code how
 kaffeine and xine-lib pass the information about the port to use to the
 DVB driver.

I also had a closer look into the specification and into the

More or less : it's slow (compared to kaffeine) and when I use vdr with
only one card, I can choose the sat in vdr, but then under kaffeine with
the two others cards, I can't tune to another sat than the same choosen
in VDR ???

In kaffeine, I can reccord without problem on three differents sats.

I must admit, I didn't think of such a scenario. So for now, I think
your diseqc.conf is correct. Your switch seems to use the DiSEqC message
to select one of three LNBs while voltage and tone tell the LNB which of
the 4 bands it shall pass on to the cable.

To just prove my understanding:
Your VDR is able to switch to all three satelites, but from time to time
you get those tuning timeouts. Reloading the drivers fixes this issue
and VDR can then switch to all three satellites again.

Well, concerning the cables, my setup just misses the right 4 ones for
the 28.2E LNB.

Do you really have QUAD LNBs? I have QUATTRO LNBs.

The difference is, that a QUATTRO LNB supplies the 4 bands (Horizontal
Low, Vertical Low, Horizontal High and Vertical High) on specific ports
on its own, while a QUAD LNB needs voltage and tone signalling on each
port to decide which band it supplies to that port.

Would you mind providing some links to documentation about your LNB and
switch models?

Hhm, these settings only help in determining high/low band and the
frequency to tune to. I first need to take a look into the code how
kaffeine and xine-lib pass the information about the port to use to the
DVB driver.

Well, I can tune to some channels :
Vertical loband on Astra 19.2E
Vertical loband on Hotbird 13.0E,
Vertical ones on Astra 28.2E.

Thank for your answer, I would like to convert the setup from kaffeine

DVB0=S|Astra-19.2E|Hotbird-13.0E|Astra-28.2E
DVB0_LNB0_hi=10600

DVB0_LNB2_switch=11700
DVB0_LNB3_hi=10600
DVB0_LNB3_lo=9750

Which is the same for DVB1 and DVB2.

Well, I've tried to switch between those two channels and had no problem
on my system (two budget cards).

My setup is similar to your's (all cards connected to a single multi
switch) except that I lack the third LNB for 28.2E.

My diseqc.conf looks like that:

# Optimized for full DiSEqC:

S19.2E  11700 V  9750  [E0 10 38 F0]
S19.2E  9 V 10600  [E0 10 38 F1]
S19.2E  11700 H  9750  [E0 10 38 F2]
S19.2E  9 H 10600  [E0 10 38 F3]

S13.0E  11700 V  9750  [E0 10 38 F4]
S13.0E  9 V 10600  [E0 10 38 F5]
S13.0E  11700 H  9750  [E0 10 38 F6]
S13.0E  9 H 10600  [E0 10 38 F7]

I think, your diseqc.conf should look like that:

# Optimized for full DiSEqC:

S19.2E  11700 V  9750  [E0 10 38 F0]
S19.2E  9 V 10600  [E0 10 38 F1]
S19.2E  11700 H  9750  [E0 10 38 F2]
S19.2E  9 H 10600  [E0 10 38 F3]

S13.0E  11700 V  9750  [E0 10 38 F4]
S13.0E  9 V 10600  [E0 10 38 F5]
S13.0E  11700 H  9750  [E0 10 38 F6]
S13.0E  9 H 10600  [E0 10 38 F7]

S28.2E  11700 V  9750  [E0 10 38 F8]
S28.2E  9 V 10600  [E0 10 38 F9]
S28.2E  11700 H  9750  [E0 10 38 FA]
S28.2E  9 H 10600  [E0 10 38 FB]

As far as I recall, selecting among more than 8 LNB connections requires
 the use of full DiSEqC, as only 8 LNB connections can be addressed by
supply voltage (vV), 22 kHz tone (tT) and tone bursting (AB) (pre DiSEqC
1.0).

In your diseqc.conf, you mix pre DiSEqC 1.0 with DiSEqC 1.0 in a similar
way as provided in the stock diseqc.conf below '# Full DiSEqC
sequence:'. This should not be a problem in general as the standard
says, that the switch should prefer a properly received full DiSEqC
message over mini DiSEqC signalling but it may interfere if there is a
transmission error in the full DiSEqC message.

Moreover some switches seem to store the decision whether a client uses
 mini or full DiSEqC until the switch port sees a power cycle. This
might explain why reloading the driver cures the problem.

Tuning back to Astra (for example DMAX :
DMAX;T-Systems:12633:hC56:S19.2E:22000:203:303=deu:503:0:12602:1:1113:0 ) tune 
directly.

And then back to Espace 2 again :

Jan 26 19:08:47 ar vdr: [9259] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 
254, tp 112399

In fact it only tune to channels on Astra 19.2E but no Hotbird 13.0E
neither Astra 28.2E.

I stop vdr and restart :

254, tp 112399

Then I quit VDR and reload the driver : it then tune without any
problem, directly.

Is there a way to achieve this without reloading the driver ?

In case more info are needed on my setup :
