I ran the new version 1.0 without picking up the channel.
Attached are the logs.
I am not surprised now that I have read the additional two posts. Perhaps this isn't going to happen in the end
Makes me wonder how it was done with mikeyko's plug in the past. The setup is even wiki-fied.
additional half dozen posts.... can't keep up with the conversation.

This could be the reason why he had to add the channels directly to the DB. It might be that TS reader has changed [since he got it working] and is no longer compatible with TPG streams. Don't give up hope yet. The logs are interesting so stay tuned...

Hi again Ausdigital
Rik and I have been chatting about this issue on IRC. We think that TPG isn't providing a full DVB-IP stream. Rather, we think their streams are "simple" MPEG (the container format) streams. TsWriter is built to handle full DVB wrapped MPEG streams which would explain why you've been having so much trouble trying to use a DVB-IP tuner to receive them.
I have to be up front with you: if Rik and I are right then there is no way that you'll be able to use the DVB-IP tuner to tune TPG streams. On the bright side, there are almost certainly other ways of viewing them. We recommend that you try the OnlineVideos plugin and see if that can handle the streams. Note that neither of us have used the plugin so we can't guarantee it will work, but it is definitely worth a shot.
Hopefully the info helps

Thanks to all of you. I am looking into the online video plugin as a work around.
I have also querried TPG on the stream they transmit and they are looking into it and will get back to me.

Stepko, Riksmith, and mm1352000
I have been in contact with TPG over the format in which they stream data. This is their response
I have used the modified mpiptvsource.ax file as supplied by Stepko originally (not the latter version in this thread) and have picked up and added the TPG channels during the scan.
I cannot view them as it cannot play them back. I hope you guys are still interested as I have renewed hope for this.
Attached are the logs and a screen print of the error.

Hi Ausdigital
Having said all of the above (and because mikeyo got it to work at one time), I will look at your new logs and see if there is a simple change that can be made to make things work for you. Obviously I can't and won't change things that will break compatibility with proper DVB streams. I'd strongly advise you not to get your hopes up and to try OnlineVideos like Rik and I suggested...
This looks like the same "class" of error you saw when you tried to play the earlier stream dump with a TS extension, except it is from the TV code rather than the video code now. The source of the problem will be the same - TsReader. The response from TPG confirms what Rik and I suspected - the streams are not DVB streams. TPG are right when they say that software expecting a DVB stream may not work. To make it very clear: TV Server is exactly the sort of software that expects DVB streams. To expect these streams to be playable by tuning them with the DVB-IP tuner is to expect TV Server (and particularly the TsWriter and TsReader components) to do things that they aren't designed to do. The fact that scanning worked without the modifications that I made surprises me, hence I'm really not surprised that TsReader fails.
