DigitalDevices Dual DVB-S2 Testing (CAM/DiSEqC) (1 Viewer)

[morpheus_xx]

Hi all,

thanks to Digital Devices I have a nice Dual Tuner DVB-S2 card including CI here to develop the integration into MediaPortal.

So what's the progress?

Done:

• Graph building has changed to add the CI filter to graph
• DiSEqC should be supported by the "GenericaBDAS" class, from which I derive.
• Checks are done if CI is enabled for specific tuner
• Service ID handling improved, descrambling now "should" work correctly
• CI menu works completly

ToDo and problems:

• nothing

Instructions:
DO A TVSERVER BACKUP BEFORE!

When you try to use the CAM, make sure you have used the DD's Config tool to enable cam for specific (or both) tuner. Probably graph building will fail currently if CI attached but not enabled for tuner device.

Hint: Try to use driver version 1.4.2.34 for beginning, the newer .44 seems to cause other problems.

The attached TvServer build is RC4 compatible, so you can replace your installation.

Updates need to be simply copied over my attached TvServer build installation!

Then test everything tv related:

• Channel scans
• DiSEqC usage (where possible/needed)
• Watching FTA channels (not scrambled)
• Watching a single scrambled channel
• Recording single scrambled channel
• Recording / Timeshifting multiple channels
• Access CI menu in SetupTv, test inputs

And please note: testing can always be dangerous, I'm not responsible if there are problems

Finally post all your findings here and add all tvserver log files!
This is the only way for me to continue developing...

Edits:
20100525: Attached an update (#1), using put_SID on tune and graph building checks (if CI is enabled)
20100527: Attached new complete setup with minor changes.
20100530: new setup contains fixes for CI menu and probably channel switching issues with scrambled channels
20100602: new RC4 based build that should work
20100606: added support for Mystique tuner / CI filter names, code cleanup and possible CI menu fixes (WiP)
20100609: RC4_v3: code cleanup, CI menu fixed, changed tuner detection to DisplayName
20100625: RC5 version build added, no code changes on DD stuff
20101003: 1.1.1 Final version added, no code changes on DD stuff
20101127: 1.1.1 Final v2 added, Bugfix in detecting CI filter with newer 2.x drivers.
20101129: 1.1.1 Final v3 added, removed v2 version. No code changes, just a "fresh compile". Use this new build!
20101203: 1.1.2 Final based version added
20110306: 1.1.3 Final based version added, re-uploaded with correct version numbers

Current test results:

morpheus_xx: card v5; driver v:.34; graph build: ok; channel scan: n/a; descrambling: n/a
morpheus_xx: card v5; driver v:.44; graph build: ok; channel scan: n/a; descrambling: n/a

dlarge500: card v?; driver v:....; graph build: ok; channel scan: ok; descrambling: sometimes
dirki1972: card v4; driver v:2.34; graph build: fail; channel scan: fail; descrambling: never
dirki1972: card v5; driver v:1.4.4.52; graph build: OK; channel scan: OK; descrambling: OK
jarroz: card v4; driver v:.34; graph build: ok; channel scan: ok; descrambling: never
jarroz: card v4; driver v:.44; graph build: ok; channel scan: ok; descrambling: never
jarroz: card v4; driver v:1.4.4.55 x64; graph build: OK; channel scan: OK; descrambling: OK
jarroz: card v5; driver v:1.4.4.55 x64; graph build: OK; channel scan: OK; descrambling: OK
fkremser: card v5.4; driver v:.44; graph build: ok; channel scan: ok; descrambling: mostly ok

WITHOUT CI:
ProjektC: card Digital Devices v5.5; driver v:.1.4.3.44; graph build: ok; channel scan: ok; TimeShift: ok
ProjektC: card Mystic OEM v1.0; driver v:.1.1.2.45; graph build: sometimes; channel scan: sometimes; TimeShift: sometimes

I want to send big to DigitalDevices for their great support in developing CI feature in MediaPortal.



Happy testing
Morpheus

Hi morpheus_xx,

sorry but your release not work for me.
I can only open the Server Configuration. If i want to open Mediaportal Configuration, then a message appears that both have not the same Versions. Same Message if i try to open Mediaportal.

For Information:

- Channel Scan found "nothing" I get only message "no signal"
- If i want to test in Server COnfiguration under Option "Manual" the Timeshift, i still get the Message "cant ...... graph"


regards

hi,

i have the error with the rc2 or rc3 MP.

I can`t make a channelscan without "No signal" since the new drivers of DD. I have reinstall the older version but now I also have the same problem.

i will test this with the complete fresh installation of Win7 with the older driver from DD.

dlarge500: the error with streamingserverl.dll is probably caused by the Debug build. It seems also apply to all other .ax filters (TsWriter!).

If you have done a backup before as I wrote (), put the .dll from the backup into tvserver folder.

dirki1972: You are right, MP would tell you version conflicts (I can give you a hint, if you need it).
Tests can also be done in SetupTv only.
Please add your logfiles everytime! I also need error messages...


I'll post a release build later today, when I'm at home

hi morpheus_xx,
which log files you need?

I need all tvserver logs under ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\TVServer\Log (or similiar)

Hi morpheus - this card interests me - can you give some more info e.g. a link to the manufacturer's website?

You can get the card here - TV Karten - Digital Devices Distribution UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
It´s the shop of the manufacturer.
