This really is sorely missing from VDR. Its a nice project which I might look at if I ever get a spare moment! First I would have to update my VDR from 1.7.0 with multiproto as lack of good support for vdr-rotor has been holding me back from upgrading to S2API and later development versions of VDR.
Well, it took awhile but I have updated to yavdr 0.3 with S2API and a NV card and it is pretty stable now.
The old rotor plugin is pretty unstable with yavdr (and perhaps later versions of VDR in general) and it seemed that no-one wanted to fix it, so I finally got around to modifying the actuator plugin to work with my disecq rotor (well actually a V-BOX hooked up to a 24V actuator). I can now get rid of the rotor plugin completely and drive my dish to the right positions and find / tune satellites with the modified actuator plugin, which IMHO works and looks better. It also allows me to scan DVB-S channels right from the plugin too.
I'd like to release it at some point when I've tidied it up (perhaps as rotor-ng or something), but one issue I have is with DVB-S2 signal tuning and scanning on my Hauppauge Nova HD-S2 card - does anyone have this functionality working either with this card or another card with the actuator plugin's scanner?
When I tune to a DVB-S2 channel (QPSK or 8PSK) within the plugin I get nothing, but when I tune in VDR the plugin shows full lock etc. I'd like to get this functionality working before releasing it and I thought it might be a problem with the card not supporting ROLLOFF_AUTO but that doesn't make any difference.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
