Goodmorning!
Morning Niels, thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
You might want to try Igor's repo http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin) since Steve's hasn't been updated for over 3 months. This however won't fix your problem perse.
OK, done that.
Did you install mine S2API patch from 7-10 for VDR 1.7.0? Because this is the latest version and this has been tested with DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-S2 and DVB-C. And with succes! ;)
Specifically I have installed:
vdr-1.7.0-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff vdr-1.7.0-s2api-07102008-h264-clean.patch
the only other plugin I am using at this stage is the reelbox plugin output which seems to work fine.
BTW, you might want to increase the logging for VDR or check the logfiles in /var/log what VDR has thrown out (Ubuntu uses /var/log/user.log for instance). My best guess is an frontend timeout error. This means that a timeout (duh!) occured when tuning to the selected channel. This can mean a reception problem (not likely, but good to point out) or a problem in your channels.conf.
Now I have recompiled it all and when I run VDR I get: -
vdr: error while reading '/video/config6/channels.conf'
in /var/log/user.log I see: -
Feb 4 10:06:01 morfsta vdr: [17791] loading /video/config6/channels.conf Feb 4 10:06:01 morfsta vdr: [17791] ERROR: unknown parameter key 'A' Feb 4 10:06:01 morfsta vdr: [17791] ERROR: error in /video/config6/channels.conf, line 2
Line 2 is a DVB-T channel: -
BBC ONE;BBC:730000000:A0B8C34D34G32I0M16P0T2Y0:T:27500:600:601=eng,602=eng:0:0:4 165:9018:4101:0
This channel works fine in vdr-1.7.0 with multiproto and there are definitely no reception problems as all DVB-T and DVB-S channels works fine with previous implementation (which I have kept in a seperate parition obviously!).
The Multiproto channels.conf should be interchangeable with S2API. But *some* modulation types didn't exist in S2API when I wrote the patches and you need to check this for yourself. You need to check the settings (Red button to edit in the TV Channels overview) and see if they are indeed correct and change them accordinly. My best guess, is that the modulation types are wrong.
It seems that the channels.conf isn't interchangeable as the multiproto channels.conf now seems to be rejected and I can't even start VDR now. Perhaps the leading A is now unsupported in the options, is there a way I could possibly modify the file to remove this stuff?
See the above ;)
Any more ideas? ;-)
