No HD channels with me. ( AINIXE HD, Pro7 HD, SAT1 HD)
Server preview is correct

 

[sis3970]

I have several issues with this built:

- MPEG recording results in a 0KB file
- TS recordings result in black screen during playback (also tested in Windows Mediaplayer with same result)
- Channel change does not work. When changing, the info shows new channel, but content is old channel.

Fixed: MTV channels play smoothly again.

I hope I attached the correct logs.

best regards,
Sis

Sorry my Frainds,
but i havent this problems.

- HD Channels works perfect
- MPEG Recording ... not test
- TS Recording works very good too, HD and SD
- Channel change works very good ... again a little bit faster THX!

Notice:
The problem with the Channel "! Primetime" is still there. Its a TSReader problem, becouse i can record this channel and playback correctly with VLC. With TSReader there is only a Picture and no sound, like MTV germany some SVNs bevor.

I have upload the TS Dump on the MediaPortal FTP Server "chrissooo_!Primetime_raw_paket_dump.ts" already.

Great Work!
The TV Server+MP will be bether and bether for me, nearly every Buid.

OK, I will attempt a clean install first...

 

[donkarlos]

sorry,
but after a restart the HD channels are visible again.
best regards
Don

 

[sis3970]

After a clean install (windows + MP) the same problems are still occurring... :-(

 

[gemx]

sis3970, could you please be more precise what's not working?
BTW Please keep in mind that mpg recordings never really worked in TvServer so at first we will ignore that.
If the rest is working we will have a look at the mpg recordings

 

[sis3970]

In the meanwhile I reverted back to my working build combo, but I'm willing to try again to solve this...

First issue: TS Recording

When I press the "record" button, TVServer starts to record to a .ts file.
If I open the file during record, then all is OK.
However, when I watch the file after the recording has finished, the result is not OK.
By not OK I mean: The screen is black (not blank, but black), and also no sound.
Also playback in other software and on different PC's results in same symptom.

Second Issue: Channel Change

During live TV, changing a channel is problematic.
The channel info changes correctly, but,
the actual video content is not changing, ie, the ts buffer starts to play from the beginning till the moment I switched, and then freezes.
If I turn of TV, and ON again, it displays the new channel.
Kinda strange no?

My DVB-S card is a TT Budget S-1500 with driver 5.0.0.12 and I reproduced these issues with both NVIDIA and MPV decoder.
One strange thing: when downloading the TT Budget driver, I noticed that the unzipped foldername was 5.0.0.12_test

Could this be a driver issue?
//Edit// No driver issue. I verified against driver 5.0.0.6 with the same results.

If you need something specific, let me know, please.
I too want to contribute in fixing this great product...

Best Regards
Sis
