Channel scanning broken, some channels found, most not.
Says no signal on some transponders, weak signal on the others.

MCE shows 98% signal strength with the same cable.

I can confirm the error.
Got this error today while scanning for channels(Clean install) , first time in long time, i was tryning a svn.

Here is the error.log

Hi,

I get it to work with workarounds... when I scan (Sweden Comhem Stockholm.dvbc), the first row works, then it hangs or some other problem (not same all the time), but if I delete the first row, then restart pc and make another scan I get some more channels. Then repeat for all rows... I can watch some channels but all of a sudden xmltv don't work any more.

Hi gemx,

HD channels with AC3 autdio stream only doesn't work with the new audio/video observer, and after a while switch to the old method.

I've found in CDiskRecorder::AddStream() the line in red for logical audio type is missing and is "random" in pmt table, and doesn't work in new observer

void CDiskRecorder::AddStream(PidInfo2 pidInfo)
{
.......
if (IsStreamWanted(pidInfo.logicalStreamType))
{
PidInfo2 pi;
pi.seenStart=false;
pi.fakePid=-1;
pi.elementaryPid=pidInfo.elementaryPid;
pi.streamType=pidInfo.streamType;
pi.rawDescriptorSize=pidInfo.rawDescriptorSize;
pi.logicalStreamType= pidInfo.logicalStreamType;
memset(pi.rawDescriptorData,0xFF,pi.rawDescriptorSize);
memcpy(pi.rawDescriptorData,pidInfo.rawDescriptorData,pi.rawDescriptorSize);
.....


Another thing, unfortunately TF1 HD has a pmt of 182 bytes than means the 2 last bytes are on the 2nd packet.

In CSection:ectionComplete(), the "BufferPos" is compared to "section_length", but due to the 3 bytes header, BufferPos is 183 after the first packet and section_length is 182....

I've modified as below and now it works also in this case.

bool CSection:ectionComplete()
{
if (!DecodeHeader() && BufferPos-3 > section_length && section_length>0)
return true;
if (!DecodeHeader())
return false;
return (BufferPos-3 >= section_length);


That's all for the week-end !!

Regards.

Ambass.

Is this snapshot any closer to decoding New Zealand DVB-T streams as per details and samples here

The Ultimate New Zealand DTT (DVB-T) Summary/Guide

Just wondering how development if any is going with this

 

[gemx]

Ambass,
thanks again
Will be in next snapshot

Hang in there Phatbloke, some users in Norway are also affected but this is a pretty new format I think as far as DVB-T goes. I guess it will take some time before it can be looked at
