Is there any dvb-s2/h.264 support in mp yet? I compiled the latest svn sources and installed sql express 2005 and the self-compiled tv-server. So far everythings working fine but no dvb-s2 channels are found. Is dvb-s2 support already included in svn sources? Will there be support in tvengine3 release or public test release?

Currently i'm using dvbviewer for watching hdtv but a nicer looking user-interface like mp's blue-two and h.264 would be all i ever dreamed of.

h.264/mpeg4 should channels should be found during scanning

[alexv]

hmm ... strange, I'll try again. Is there something special to take care of?

thanks for your response

[alexv]

tested again ... same result.

On 12721,H,22000 or 12722,H,22000 i always get "no singal" while scanning.

My card shows up in tv server management console as "DVB-S TechnoTrend BDA/DVB-S Tuner".
Scanning with DVBViewer: Sat.1 / ProSieben HD Channels are found.
I'm using DiseqC (Level1AA).
DVB-S Channels are found.

Some advice would be nice.

thanks

I don't know if someone is interested in my feedback, but so far dvb-s2/h.264 support is definitely not working on my system with technotrend s2-3200.

my system:
self-build mediaportal, tv-server and tv-plugin from svn
windows xp mce sp2 + mce update rollup 2 + all mce and windows updates

the log simply says no signal on 12721,H,22000. No other errors are reported in the log file.

would be nice if I get some feedback on this problem.

Could you try scanning this transponder again using latest svn
and after its done, post the tswriter.log & tv.log?

I performed the following steps:

1. Uninstalled all mp related stuff on my system.
2. Checked-out latest svn (trunk) versions of mediaportal and tvengine3
3. Compiled mp and tvengine3
4. Installed mp and after that installed tv-server
5. Scanned transponder

I attached the logs.
Again, thanks for your support, Frodo. You mp devs are doing a great job.
I hope you/we can find out what's the problem.

Additional information:
In a former checkout of svn I changed the implementation of tv-server.
1. Setting
locator.put_InnerFECRate(BinaryConvolutionCodeRate .Rate2_3);
locator.put_Modulation(ModulationType.ModBpsk);
but no improvement.

2. As far as I know there had been problems with bda drivers when gathering singal statistics. So I changed the implementation in a way that the analyzer is running even if there is no "TunerLocked", "SingalStrength" or "SingalQuality". But all i got was a "Scan timeout". So for me it seems, that there is "really" no data flowing through the bda graph.

3. Finally I think the problem is related to the tuningspace, tunerequest or the locator. The dvb-s2 channel might not be tuned correctly. But I found no information if an dvb-s2 channel compared to dvb-s has to be tuned in a different way.

4. As I'm running XP MCE with rollup2 the graph is build with the "Generic Network Provider" Filter. This is or might be the only difference to other systems.

As writing this a question comes to my mind. Why is the scanning graph not exposed to win xp? Means, that if I try to connect to the graph with graphedit, there is nothing to connect to!?

Sorry for my impatience.
I know there is much work because of the beta version release.

It would be nice if someone can give me an update on the status.

Is there any news about this Problem. I would like to buy the TT Budget S2-3200.

Thanks

I finally got it working with mp v. 2.1.0 and some sourcecode changes (Not using TV Engine 3!). Thank's to bear's TS Parser Sink and Ts Parser Source I can now view, timeshift and record h264 channels. To switch to dvb-s2 modulation you have to set the modulation to 8VSB !!!!

So:
myLocator.Modulation = TunerLib.ModulationType.BDA_MOD_8VSB;
(mp 2.10 Code)
Would do the job.

But be aware: If tuning from 8vsb or to 8vsb you have not only to submit a new tunerequest but also to create a new tuningspace.

Hope this helps.
