Dear All,

I have a skystar hd and I am using vdr 1.7.0 with the h264 patch and xine for output device as described here:

http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/OpenSUSE_VDR_DVB-S2_-_xine

The only channel I am able to watch is HD Suisse. I can not watch any other dvb-s2 or h264 channel. When I zap to

it I get: channel not available.

...

These are some example channels from chanels.conf that do NOT work:

SKY Sport HD 1;SkyItalia:11996:vC23M5S1Z35:S13.0E:27500:10164+164:0;416=ita,417= eng:0:919,93B:11020:64511:6400:0 Next HD;SkyItalia:11996:vC23M5S1Z35:S13.0E:27500:10160+160:0;400=ita,401=eng:0:9 19,93B:11030:64511:6400:0 SKY Cinema HD;SkyItalia:11996:vC23M5S1Z35:S13.0E:27500:10161+161:0;404=ita,405=e ng:0:919,93B:11031:64511:6400:0 NationalGeo HD;SkyItalia:11996:vC23M5S1Z35:S13.0E:27500:10163+163:0;412=ita,413= eng:0:919,93B:11032:64511:6400:0 SKY Sport HD 2;SkyItalia:11996:vC23M5S1Z35:S13.0E:27500:10165+165:0;420=eng,421= ita:0:919,93B:11033:64511:6400:0

no need the additional patches for vdr 170 except vdr-1.7.0-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff.bz2 , but you already have installed it.

could you check VDR's behaviour on open dvb-s2 channels , please

I dont think that this is the case because with encrypted DVB-S channels I get a blank screen but NOT the message "channel not available". I get this message ONLY on DVB-S2 channels. I can perfectly watch HD Suisse which is DVB-S.

I think I am missing a patch. I think there must be a patch that "tells" vdr that these channels are DVB-S2 and instructs the card accordingly to switch to dvb-s2 "mode".

Basically I use vdr-1.7.0 with this patch: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/attachments/20080413/1054bcfb/attachmen... and vdr-xine as described here: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/OpenSUSE_VDR_DVB-S2_-_xine

Am I missing a patch or something else?

with vdr 1.7 and the patch it s possible to say that there is something if you remove the encrypted flag, and vpid, ppid and dpid they will reappear when you switch to that channel - its there, maybe they are not broadcasting at that moment

I suppose Vangelis Nonas didn't remove any encrypted flags and pids. For you information - what's new in VDR 1.6.0

======================================== The changes since version 1.5.13: - Removed switching to the next higher or lower channel if the current channel is not available, in order to allow staying on an encrypted channel that takes a while for the CAM to start decrypting. =========================================

may be in 1.7.0 it was broken for dvb-s2 encrypted channels....

Igor

As far as trying vdr with clear DVB-S2 channels, unfortunately it is not possible in my case since I only have access to Hotbird, which I think has no clear DVB-S2 channels.

yes, you are right - on Hotbird the open dvb-s2 channels absent http://www.lyngsat.com/hd/hotbird.html

As fas as changing encrypted flag, vpid, ppid and dpid, can you please give me an example, what I have to change in the following line:

Next HD;SkyItalia:11996:vC23M5S1Z35:S13.0E:27500:10160+160:0;400=ita,401=eng:0:919,93B:11030:64511:6400:0

Finally, I have to mention that using multiproto (not multiproto plus) and modified szap, I can tune to Next HD and get a lock (of course I can not watch the channel, I just get the message from modified szap that it has lock).

which multipro's version and szap do you use ? where from did you get szap ?

Modified szap does not work at all with multiproto plus.

it's strange. May be the version of multiproto_plus and multiproto is different ?

Moreover, using multiproto (not multiproto plus) and vdr-1.5.14 (with h264 patch) or vdr-1.5.12 (with dvb-s2 + h264 patch) I have exactly the same behaviour with vdr-1.7.0 and multiproto plus : channel not avaialble for all DVB-S2 channels.

what about the logs ? could you see un /var/syslog

Igor

This is my log from vdr-1.7.0 changing to HD Suisse (1853) then to Sky Sport HD 1 (1854) and then back to HD Suisse:

Hi,

can you try this FTA channel, which broadcasts MPEG2 via DVB-S2 at Hotbird 13.0 E:

Initial;ITI:11449:hC23M5O35S1:S13.0E:27500:519:0:0:0:15100:318:1300:0

BTW: your syslog excerpt didn't show messages like

May 10 18:04:03 video vdr: [6165] cVideoRepacker: switching to MPEG1/2 mode

just

May 10 18:04:03 video vdr: [6165] cVideoRepacker: operating in MPEG1/2 mode

so I assume you didn't specify

-l 3

on VDR's command line, or debug messages are logged into a different file by syslog. Please try to provide those log lines too.

Bye.

So, I have checked on my VDR 170 your issue. I can confirm that on encrypted dvb/s dvb/s2 channels I receive the message "Channal not available"

But you can fix it easy :)

Go to Menu - Setup - Update channels - NO after that go to the channels edit (red button) - change CA field from encrypted to Free to Air
