[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 932468, member: 82144"] According to the logs: One of the many additional features on that branch is that TV Server should now be able to detect whether a channel is active or not. The idea is to save time waiting for a 10 second PMT timeout. This is useful for non-24 hour channels (there are quite a few of these in the UK) and portal channels. So what happens now when you tune a channel: [LIST=1] [*]The tuner is tuned to the transmitter (frequency, symbol rate, DiSEqC etc.). [*]Attempt to grab PMT (the information about the available video/audio/subtitles) and at the same time check if the channel is active. Assuming the channel is active, PMT should be received. [*]If the channel is encrypted, grab CAT (conditional access info needed to decrypt). [*]If the channel is encrypted, tell the CAM to start decrypting. [*]Wait for clear audio and video to be detected. [/LIST] Your attempts are failing at step 2 because TV Server thinks the channel is not active. I have not tested this because I do not have access to portal channels, so there could be some bugs. Do you know: is the portal channel that you're trying to access really active right now? [/QUOTE]
