DVB-S and AC3 not working (1 Viewer)

So you don't have SPDIF output?
If this is true than the behaviour depends on the codec, it's settings and the hardware.
Have no chance to influence this

i don't have, but if switching works and my codec is fault should i get no audio... i get no switch...... can check that in my logs ? or can i check myself that in my logs and how ?

just added that patch to svn - thank you gemx!!!

Let's wait for feedback of more people now.

Thanks rtv, that was quick ,
i think the IsSingleSeat() function in the TVFullScreen.cs file of the TVPlugin may not work for everyone.
Do you know a better way to determine if it is a single seat setup or not?

I have tested the recordings. They don't give me a picture in MP.

When i play them with vlc i get a picture, but the ac3 audio is not working. No audio.

 

[rtv]

If it doesn't even work with vlc there's almost no chance that MP can do it.

But in general .ts recordings should work nicely in current svn.
(Please wait for the next build as Frodo just did another fix for playing those)

Hugo:
Recordings in .ts format were broken often regarding audio streams in the various SVNs. At the moment it works. So if would try replaying a recording from a recent SVN?

I used 13273 (MP) / 13259 (Server) from today morning.
I´ll search for a newer one...

Edit:
New test with 13302/13304:

TV is working, but only with the tvplugin.dll from gemx

Recording isn´t working. Still the same as with the older svn. MPG-mode ist only in stereo, TS seems to have mpg & ac3 (selectable), but ac3 gives no sound...

 

[gemx]

RTV,
the IsSingleSeat function should be changed to compare case insensitive.
This should be more reliable and should solve Hugos problem.
It's in the TVFullScreen.cs file

 

[Hugo]

gemx is right...

As this is a major problem for me, i´ve done the step to install TortoiseSVN.

After i´ve done a quick searche in sources, i´ve seen, that there´s a debug entry for this function and i found:

RemoteControl.HostName: is in lowercase
Environment.MachineName: is in uppercase

... so return is false.

 

[Hugo]

And now i found the reason [it´s not so easy without vs@home ... :-( ].

The TvController (TvController.cs TvService.TVController.isLocal) is fetching the dns name and this name is compared to Environment.MachineName which seems to be the netbios name (allways uppercase and possibly different to dns-name).
