[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 809519, member: 82144"] Hi chr0non and Django *Thank you* once again for testing - we are making good progress now! :thx: [SIZE="4"]chr0non[/SIZE] I see two things in your logs that I need to investigate further. First is DiSEqC. I can see you used the "DLL" version which is fine. I am not completely satisfied with that yet since when I compare your logs to Django's the tuner driver is reporting failure to send the command in your case and success in Django's case. You only tested channels on one satellite (port 2 - Level1AB) so I wonder whether your test result was a little lucky - maybe the switch was already on the right port. I think the difference in result reported from the driver is due to the difference in cards, so I need to do something slightly different in the code for your card. Please try the attached DLL and be sure to test changing between channels on different satellites if possible... Second is a shared issue with Django's logs so I will come back to that at the end. [SIZE="4"]Django[/SIZE] Your DiSEqC testing was very good. It proves that two methods (DLL and KsProperty) would work for your card. For some reason the KsControl logs contained the same information as KsProperty - maybe that was a mistake from me. I have attached a new one of those DLLs. If you are able to do a quick test with that then I would appreciate it. In any case, your results with KsProperty prove that we should be able to add DiSEqC support for Omicom DVB-S2 PCI tuners (they are clones of your cards, except no CI connection). The thing that I'm concerned about from your logs is the shared with the second issue from chr0non's logs - it seems that the CI/CAM can't be enabled even if it is present. This is what is causing the failure to decrypt La Une on the first attempt. I don't understand why the CI/CAM can't be enabled, but thankfully it looks like KNC have put debug information in their DLL - we just have to figure out how to view it! ;) :D As far as I can see there are two ways to view it. [SIZE="4"]#1 - DebugView[/SIZE] This is probably the easiest way. 1. Download the software from -->[URL="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647"]here[/URL]<-- (free official Microsoft software, no installation required). 2. Extract and run Dbgview.exe. 3. Enable all the options on the "Capture" menu except "log boot". 4. Restart TV Server and tune a few channels (Django, please make sure to try to tune La Une at least twice). You should see lines start to appear in DebugView. If you don't see lines then try the second method. 5. If you got lines in step 4 then select "File"->"Save as" to save the debug output - save as *.txt or *.log. 6. Post the file here. :) [SIZE="4"]#2 - Log file[/SIZE] This is a trickier way, but if this is enabled by default then the DebugView option won't work. The log file location is set in the registry somewhere under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODSoft\Log. There should be bInfo, bInfo2, bWarn, bError, bDebug and LogFile values. I think you should set bInfo, bInfo2... etc. to 1 - that is a guess though. Also set the LogFile location to something convenient and easy like C:\knc.log. After that, restart the PC, tune a few channels, and check whether the log file has any entries in it. If it doesn't then I will have to ask KNC what the problem could be. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. :) mm [/QUOTE]
