scrambled channel fail (1 Viewer)

[lar282]

Hi
Sometimes my twinhan card fails to decode a scrambled channel and I was wondering what parameter I should try to increase first to see if that helps. The channel always comes ok when switching back and forward. But worse is when tve3 is recording and it happens, then the size of file is 0Mb and the recording totally fails. It happens most of the time when the tve3 is recording and nobody is whatching tv. When watching tv it normally works but maybe it fails 1 out of 50 times. So maybe there is a difference how tve3 is recording compared to when wtaching tv?
Do the tve3 use the settings below at all or is it just when whatching tv not recording?
is it
Tune
PAt
CAT
PMT
SDt
or any else?

please help



the log looks like this when it fails

nobody has any tips.Can't find out what the problem is!

I'm also having problems with scrambled channels. I logged a bug report:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/problem_scambled_channels-t26027.html

 

[pmcguire]

Lasse I guess you are in Finland?
I have been having problems like this almost everytime I retry the new TV engine. Have never found out what might be causing it, I can flick through some other channels and then the scrambled ones will work again.

Though if you are not home and unable to do this it's a PIA.

I have the Technotrend S2-3200 with 5.0.0.2 Vista 32bit drivers. CAM is the Irdeto / Conax combi model.

TVe2 doesn't have any decoding problems with scrambled channels.

I am in Sweden.
I can always watch channels. It only happens when the service is recording.heres another log.

It wierd how the signal is ZERO

I guess the devs could fix it by trying to again if the signal is zero

I get this too... Sometimes it can take 20-30 attempts to get a scrambled channel to work. After the first scrambled channel is displayed any other scrambled channels will normally then display without issue..

Recording is a nightmare..

This seems to be an issue with the Twinhan card only with Media Portal,, What card is a good alternative??

 

[pmcguire]

ok 20-30 atempts is a bit extreme, I usually need about 4-5 attempts.
I have a Technotrend S2-3200

 

[lar282]

Please devs,give us some hints. Have any of the devs seen this issue?

//Lasse

 

[snorre]

Just wanted to say that I am also experiencing these problems. I'm on DVB-T (FireDTV) in Sweden. Randomly I can use the scrambled channels, but not often.

A log of a failure is attached. Hints please?

 

[lar282]

I got another log if the devs need it.
THIS line is the nasty one.....
2007-08-05 20:57:13 C Twinhan: cam failed 0x8007001F

Could it be that the service do not wait in the same matter as the MP client does? Noticed from a mp log that:
2007-08-06 08:40:23 D card: scrambled, sleep 100
2007-08-06 08:40:24 D card: scrambled, sleep 100
2007-08-06 08:40:24 D card: scrambled, sleep 100
2007-08-06 08:40:24 D card: scrambled, sleep 100
2007-08-06 08:40:24 D card: scrambled, sleep 100
2007-08-06 08:40:24 D card: return not scrambled

Just a thought!
