[FIXED] No PMT received - TV Server BUG (5 Viewers)

Frodo · April 20, 2007

The problem in this case was that the provider mapped the channel wrong from satellite to cable network. Could these problems be related

i can read german (a bit) and this is definitly the problem (for you)
The cable service provider should offcourse transmit valid SI data.

Yes, but the problem is from over a year ago and it seems to be solved for that case (it was EPG related)

TVengine 0.2 and other software works fine for me

Few questions then
- i'm using DVBC on casema (the netherlands). Anyone having issues with this dvb-c provider ?

(living in Germany

)

frodo said:
- are you guys using QAM64 or QAM256 ?

QAM256

frodo said:
- are you guys using the FireDTV-C, and ifso which firmware ?

I am using the FloppyDTV-C version of the FireDTV-C card, these two versions are technically the same. Running on Firmware 1.2.7 B41420, but I also tested 1.2.6 B40930, 1.2.4 and 1.2.2 with the same results.

The channels that aren't working in TV-Server ARE working in MediaPortal TVE2 in my case as well. I provide some logs to compare (Non working channel in TV-Server / Same channel working in TVE2).

with the old tv engine everything worked fine. only the long time to change a channel (is it right? umschaltzeiten it means in german) was terrible. this is much better with tve3.

Perhaps you can check this:
- download & install MyTheatre (www.dvbcore.com)
- in mytheathre scan all dvb-c channels
- check if mytheathre works ok on the 'no mpt found' channels
- ifso compare the pids found by mytheathre with the ones found by tv3

Hi Frodo

I am in the situation that I can watch all channels with mytheatre, and all are detected with the new tvengine, but some I can not watch (no audio/video found).

The only difference I can see in the PIDs is, that PCR-PID is allways 0 on the failing channels.
The other pids seem to be ok (had to translate from hex in mytheatre to decimal).

I will upload a screenshot of mytheatre properties and the values from table tuningdetail.

I assume it has to do with how the dvb-stream is encoded. Do you know a tool that would me allow to record the raw dvb-c stream? This could maybe help you?

Frodo · April 20, 2007

I think mytheathre allows you to record a raw dvb-c stream
where you can select which pids to record.
Otherwise try TsReaderLite (free download)

This might be a good idea, if someone can provide a raw dvb-c stream with
all pids for the channel (pmt,pat,sdt, video/audio) then i can simulate the thing here.

Frodo

brunoh · April 20, 2007

I did now a record "Raw Transport Stream from Active PIDs" in mytheatre on the failing channel

Thanks, with your file i was able to understand why the PMT is not found.
Somehow the PMT table layout in your file is wrong or not what i expected.
I've changed tv3 so it recognizes this now and the pmt should be found.
you can download latest version here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/tvengine3_snapshot_04_20_2007_20_35h-t22403.html

For those interested. here is the PMT:
Notice the extra 'pointer_field' just before the table id (2)
