Testbuilds for Native MP2 TV - Updated for 10th AE Update 1 (2014-09-13)! (4 Viewers)

I can reproduce a SetupTv crash on my Server while scanning channels. It seems to crash on the 682000 frequency all the time (and doesn't when i remove that frequency from the tuningparameters .xml).


Several reasons for the crash according to System logs (in order from first to last), although i expect the last 2 errors to be caused by the 3rd (Service terminated).

Thanks for testing and reporting Jeroen!
The details show the crash is caused by TsWriter. I suspect there is some kind of bug in one of the parsers... but it is not clear which parser is failing.
Can you please post a short (~60 seconds) TS dump from that multiplex, excluding all video and audio PIDs to keep the size as small as possible (otherwise I can't afford to download it on my 10 GB per month cap).

That should be possible (after a readup on the HowTo)

Just so i'm sure i'm doing it right:
Start SetupTv with debugoptions, tick both boxes, and do a manual scan on that frequency?

Creating a TS dump is the same as with TVE 3:

Excluding video and audio PIDs will need to be done with an external program.

But how can i start timeshifting on a channel from that transponder when it's not added? (First time making TS Dump...)

** EDIT **
Just tried to make a dump with the TVE install, and i get the message that channel is scrambled. After checking all channels on that transponder, it seems i don't have a subscription for them.

You could create a channel manually, or use TVE 3 to create the dump.

If this all seems too hard then let me make it as simple as I possibly can.

Stop the MP2 Server.
Download and extract the attached TsWriter.ax into your server Native TV plugin folder. Make sure to take a backup of the original TsWriter.ax before replacing (!!!).
Start the MP2 Server.
Scan only 682 MHz (remove the other frequencies from your tuning parameter file, or do a single frequency manual scan).
After the scan completes you should find an "sidump.ts" file in the root of the c drive (ie. c:\sidump.ts).
Zip that file and attach it here.

Isn't created (with message that channel is scrambled).

File attached.

Hmmm, there is a lot of SI on that transmitter. The 20 second dump wasn't complete. Sorry, but can you please repeat with the SDT/VCT timeout (TV Server config, general section, scan tab) set to 60 seconds. Please restart MP2 Server after changing the setting in order to make sure it is applied.

Sure, attached.

Well, I'm sorry but I'm not able to reproduce the crash.
I note that the second dump seems to be identical in size to the original. That is very unexpected. I'd have expected it to be about three times the size of the original if the SDT/VCT timeout change was applied properly.

Can you reproduce the crash if you scan only 682 MHz with the original TsWriter?
