Radio (DVB-S) not working anymore

gibman:

With this SVN, the DVB-S radio is not working any more. I think your change

30/11/2007 [21:16:48] gibman added: fixed audio auto selection not working correctly.

affects the radio part.

The attached log files do show an exception when trying to select the audio stream...

Hi Gibman,

you're just great!
Now TV and Radio (both DVB-S) are working as expected.

And that just within hours... very nice.

Also, channel switching seems to be very smooth with this build.
Thanks a lot!

 

[gibman]

It will be in tomorrows SVN

One minor thing: There is a subtitle error in the error log (see logs in my previous post).
Does that mean anything? Just wondering...

 

[iSP]

With this SVN certain tv channels either get a still picture with no sound, or a moving picture without sound.
Some I can't tune to at all, but this changes from time to time and from channel to channel so it's probably related to the stream, or SVN as you can read up ahead.
I sometimes had this channel error before, now more then ever, certain SVN's seem to have it rarely some seem to have it often.
I don't see that many errors, but I do notice an awfull lot of these, I already had some in the past but now more then ever:

2007-12-01 13:59:24.160625 [Info.][MPMain]: ProcessWindows exceptionystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at TvPlugin.TVHome.Process()

maybe related to the problem?
