I finally got some time to toy around with this plugin.

I like it alot, but it still has the age old problem of older 1st attempt incarnations for me, lots of channels with all the correct parameters except PMT=0 which prevents the channels from working. When it sort's channels it moved and doesn't copy, it moves channels out of my favourites channels list.

    Hi there,

    I noticed this behaviour of removing channels from a custom group too.

    I have a custom group called "HTPC" which contains all the main Sky/Freesat channels we watch. But with this plugin it removes all the Sky channels out of the group (appears to leave the freesat channels?).

    Is this expected behaviour?

    Thanks,

    J.

    The PMT will never be added by the plugin, the tswriter should scan the PAT when you tune to the channel and update it. This was added a long time ago.

    Can you upload your log files.

    MP is a 32 bit application and a patch is just a text file.
    The patches do not need applying in an order as they just change the source code from a particular version.

    Not sure what you are having an issue with

    Attached is a set of log files. With the channels having PMT=0, I get "No Signal" when I run the test channels.
    This is done from a clean database.

    "LockedInOnSignal could not lock onto channel - no signal or bad signal"

    If I do a manual scan over the top, the PMT values get populated, and I get a better result (although not perfect as I get a number of PMT time out errors)
    "Timed out waiting for PMT after 10.000384 seconds. Increase the PMT timeout value?" (log files not included but can add if needed)

    Try changing the Diseqc to "SimpleA" on your DVB-S card to see if this solves it.

    OK, tried it. This time got "Unknown Error"

    Anything else I should try DJBlu? Besides take a baseball bat to it? 

    Sorry pal, been a little busy.

    Try this installer.

    I changed something in the TVLibrary which the TSWriter should have provided.

    No worries, thanks for helping me try and fix it! ;)

    I'll give that a go when I get home. Delete the database and install over the top job is it?

    P.S Did you see this, not sure if it's anything to be concerned about:

    wonkyd said:
    One thing I have noticed is that when the plugin creates the EPG grab channel, even though the Diceqc is set to None in the plugin it is blank in the channel. Also no fec is set in the channel but I'm not sure if it's necessary. Changing these values manually doesn't make any difference on my system but it though I'd let you know.
