Re: DVBs: To all (and only) Skystar2 Users

Hi. Yeah, the Airstar will soon complet supported, but i disabled other then SS, for get sure it is running (near) perfectly.

Great. Some hints if you're not already know:

1) There is a little bug in the SDK when using with the AirStar2. The Command setting die polarity with the SkyStar2 is used to set another parameter with the AirStar2. That seems to be one of the reasons software for the SkyStar2 does'nt work with the AirStar2.

2) The Device name was changed from TechniSat driver 4.2.11 to 4.3.0 (prior name is "B2C2 ..... " - new name is "TechniSat ...").

Hi Agree.. I didn't hear nothing from you so I started to look at MP source code by myself.

I don't know which kind of approach you are following for the DVB-S integration. Here is what I'm going to try out:

1- Rappresent the SS2 as a TVCaptureDevice. This might not be enough at the end of the day, but for the time being I'm not going to define a new SatCaptureDevice.

2- Add in GraphFactory an entry for the SS2 card. The Graph will use Marfi's filter, which is the best in my opinion.

Once this is done, I should already be able to tune, play and record FTA channels.
What is missing is transponder scanning, which for the time being, I will skip.

Three more points I'll have to look at:
1- Recording, I will only support TS recording for now
2- Plugin support. I'm not sure where to include it. Best thing should be in the Graph
3- MHW epg. I want to support it, so the idea would be to set during the configuration phase which channel to use for MHW (or set of channels) and then the "udpate time" when to tune and retreive the new MHW version.

Let me know where are you at, and if you are using a similar approach.
