[QUOTE="IkeV70, post: 404952, member: 73615"] After running 1.0.0.0 for many weeks without many problems I decided to install the latest FloppyDTV firmware and upgrade to MP 1.0.1.0. At first everything seemed fine, but today unfortunately I can no longer watch encrypted TV-channels due to extreme stuttering, permanent freezing most of the time. The FTA channels are fine. I also tried the preview in TV Server config, same problem. FTA channels are fine, Encrypted channels have severe stutter problems. Looking at the logfiles there are loads of discontinuity errors, PES problems, etc. (At the moment I don't have the logfiles available, I'll post them later). The funny thing is: The FireDTV Viewer has no problem whatsoever displaying scrambled channels. If I look at the MP logs I find: [INDENT]************************************************** ***** SIGNAL LEVEL: 98, SIGNAL QUALITY: 98 ***** **************************************************[/INDENT] on the FTA channels, [INDENT]************************************************** ***** SIGNAL LEVEL: 0, SIGNAL QUALITY: 0 ***** **************************************************[/INDENT] or [INDENT]************************************************** ***** SIGNAL LEVEL: 32, SIGNAL QUALITY: 32 ***** **************************************************[/INDENT] on the encrypted channels. also: [INDENT]2009-04-13 20:29:39.000000 [17]: FireDTV: #0/1 pmt data:0x0 0x2 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x2B 0x0 0x3 0x1 0x2 0xB0 0x29 0x0 0x1F 0xC9 0x0 0x0 0xEB 0xC3 0xF0 0x6 0x9 0x4 0xB 0x0 0xEB 0xCB 0x2 0xEB 0xC3 0xF0 0x0 0x3 0x0 0x0 .... many more 0x0 .... 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: FireDTV:GetCAMStatus() finished 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: FireDTV:cam is inserted 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: FireDTV:cam is valid 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: FireDTV:cam is ready 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: subch:0 cam flags:True 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: subch:0 SetMpegPidMapping 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: subch:0 pid:BC3 pcr 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: subch:0 pid:BC2 pmt 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: subch:0 pid:BC3 video type:MPEG-2 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: subch:0 map pid:BC3 video type:MPEG-2 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: subch:0 pid:BC4 audio lang: type:MPEG-1 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: subch:0 map pid:BC4 audio lang: type:MPEG-1 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: subch:0 pid:BC5 teletext type:6 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: subch:0 map pid:BC5 teletext type:6 2009-04-13 20:29:39.125000 [17]: FireDTV: HW Filtering disabled. 2009-04-13 20:29:39.140625 [17]: subch:0 stop tif 2009-04-13 20:29:39.140625 [17]: WaitForPMT: sending PMT to CAM took 0.15625 seconds. 2009-04-13 20:29:39.140625 [17]: dvbt: tune: Graph running.
