Hi,
Due to an attempt on OS upgrade and thus kernel upgrade I'm grudgingly (it worked for me for months with no issues so why would I want to change it for now?) trying to make the transition from multiproto to S2API. I have two DVB-T cards and a NOVA-S2-HD (HVR4000 lite). I have downloaded a vanilla vdr-1.7.0 applied the h264 patch and the s2api patch and install S2API from Steven Toth's mercurial repository.
On booting the kernel loads all the modules and I see the various frontends and when I start VDR it loads all of the relevant firmware okay. When I start VDR it won't show any of the FTA channels on DVB-T or DVB-S (not even tried S2!) and all I get is "Channel Not Available". I wish VDR were more descriptive in why the channels are not available! :-)
Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there anything I'm missing? Is the problem that I took my channels.conf from my multiproto VDR and something has now changed in the format?
It would be good to get this working as my old OS is now messy and really needs a clean build with a shiny new kernel and I can't patch up to date multiproto with the old HVR4000 patches (a few FAILS which I guess I could fix, but might take some time as they don't look that trivial) and an older version of multiproto from HG doesn't compile on the new kernel!
Can anyone point me in the right direction on what might be going on?
Thanks

Can you try with vdr-1.7.4, that's the first version from vdr 1.7x series that i got working with s2api and hvr-4000. I have testeed it with streamdev server plugin and mplayer&vlc.

vdr-1.7.4 works fine with all my devices - but vomp isn't compatible with it yet for replaying its recordings and also the rotor plugin (which I use to move the dish and scan transponders) also won't compile at the moment (I didn't search for any updates, anyone know if it has been re-written for S2API or even if it is still being maintained?) so I will stick with 1.7.0 multiproto for now and wait for 1.7.4 / S2API to mature and become more widely supported with plugins etc.
vdr-1.7.0 and the S2API patch doesn't work with DVB-T at all here, so I guess there's a bug in the patch there somewhere that affects reception of UK transmitters (perhaps handling of QAM 16 modulation?)
