Diseqc support for Tevii Cards/USB (2 Viewers)

[cfforce]

Yes indeed, both are USB2; the weirdest part is; i reinstalled windows;with the S660 on the working USB port; all is working now.; fast zapping and such..
Now i installed the S660 on the port that had a long delay; and it was working there aswell...
Made logs of the whole event.
I don't get it.. I'm going to reinstall windows again; but now i reinstall with tevii on the other usb port; that had previously a delay..

Can somebody else confirm; if u put the S660 in another usb port (and windows finds new hardware) that the zapping between LNB's is ok? (Another USB group then the current one...[attachement])

Anyone have the chance to reproduce it? Got also the PCIe- version S470; same problem.. slow diseqc tuner lock; when i change it to another PCIe slot; it's working fine; again: myTevii works in both cases.

I have a s470 and Diseqc never worked for me with Mediaportal.
My setup is LNB1 Astra 19,2 and LNB2 Hotbird.
The TVServer log has a: 2010-03-05 10:28:13.547799 [(13)]: dvb: Failed to add bda receiver: TeVii DVB-S/S2 Receiver. Is it in use?
That is from todays attempt to scan on the latest Mediaportal release. This happened after a fresh reboot and none of the DVB software was started before scanning.
Tried to move the card around on the motherboard and remove all the other PCIe cards. No luck.
The Skystar HD2 has no problems scanning on the same setup. Or at least is scanning Astra at the moment. We'll see when it starts Hotbird.
I just gave up for the moment and am using DVBViewer and MyTevii/MyTheater for watching TV as Mediaportal wasn't the best solution for me with setting up too many channels in the database.
Hope Mediaportal 2 will have a different channels/groups handling and setting.

Otherwise, great software and I used it a lot for the past years. Especially when I was only on DVB-T with approximately 20 channels.

That's what I keep getting, too. Are any devs able to look at this issue? Please?

Still on one system i couldn't get fast zapping between diseqc to work. On that same system with other DVB-S software like MyTevii or ProgDVB zapping between diseqc goes fast; almost instant; MP around 10-12 sec.

I don't use diseqc but it still can take minutes for a channel change sometimes.

The tevii driver has a combined tuner/capture filter and should be treated the same way as Hauppauge Nova USB2 DVB-T & HDHomeRun in AddAndConnectBDABoardFilters method in TvCardBase.cs.

//Hauppauge Nova USB2 DVB-T & HDHomeRun workaround.
if (device.Name != null && (device.Name.Contains("Hauppauge Nova USB2 DVB-T TV Receiver") ||
device.Name.Contains("Silicondust HDHomeRun Tuner") ||
device.Name.Contains("TeVii DVB-S/S2 Receiver")))
{
skipCaptureFilter = true;
}

If somebody can change/add this; and could make a file for it; i could test it on several systems here.

Thanks for your input.

I checked the code and think that this is not the cause.

Also checking the ccforce logs, the card itself is usually detected as "single filter":

But anyway, I attached a test build...
