[solved] DVB/T2 HD Germany - Channelscan (2 Viewers)

[Owlsroost]

I have started to look at it (information gathering so far, mostly) in relation to TsReader.ax. I won't really know how complicated/how long to implement until I really start to try and code it.But if the new services don't go 'live' until May next year there is at least 6 months to get something working.

A number of channels are live now and as I understand it the May 2017 date is when the old channels (non HD) will start to phase out. For those of us who only have OTA it would be very good, firstly to have the HD channels as soon as possible (like now) and secondly to know that it will work before what we have now goes away.

I've made some progress with HEVC support in TsReader - it's now parsing the NAL packets out of the stream, so decoding the SPS data is next (which will take some time to implement, as it's different to the H.264/AVC SPS data).

(Github watchers will find the branch here - https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/commits/EXP_DS_TV_HEVC - but don't try to build/use it yet - it's very much a 'work in progress').

Great news

A while ago, I think someone ( @Vasilich maybe ?) did some mods to TVE3 (C# code and maybe TsWriter) to allow it to recognise HEVC - anyone know what was done (and where the branch might be) ?

@mm1352000 also mentioned that HEVC is supported in TVE3.5 already. So maybe he got some knowledge about this too.

the thread is there https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/unable-to-scan-for-astra-4k-channel.126307/#post-1086272
and acc. to some posts in it, the fork with some patches is there https://github.com/Sebastiii/MediaPortal-1
but @Sebastiii surely can tell more about this...

Yep for sure it was working (just need the fix on TsReader) because i was able to stream and get the timeshift files and was able to play it with LAVSplitter

 

[Sebastiii]

I didn't retry but the commit that permit to make it works based on your patch @Vasilich

TsReader.ax has just taken it's first HEVC baby steps :
