Scanning Muxes don't give correct services

Added by Anonymous almost 13 years ago

Hi all - great product so I'm persisting with the setup.

I've installed the latest GIT release of tvheadend thinking it might have some updates I would need but it didn't make much difference from the deb.

I'm running against 4 sats in North America using a Skywalker-2. Bell scans the muxes and I get all the services, however, the HD channels do not show up as HDTV or even tv channels so they have to be manually added as a channel.

Dish 72.5 and 61.5 both auto-discover all the muxes, finds a ton of services, but has no other information about them - adds them all as other without callsigns or anything important to identify it.

Is there something I need to do to make it work for this setup or am I wasting my time?

Thanks
Cub

Can you use the dvb adapters using the command line tools of dvb-apps? Can you tune and watch these hd channels using these tools?

Yes, they all work in VDR and Mythtv.

The muxes that it auto-detects are all correct. The channels on Bell are all detected by the HD services are not categorized properly so they never get mapped to a channel.

On Dish the channels are seen as services but they are missing several bits of information: {
"service_id": 9590,
"pmt": 33,
"stype": 0,
"scrambled": 0,
"channel": 0,
"dvb_eit_enable": 1,
"pcr": 5410,
"disabled": 0,
"stream": {
"pid": 5410,
"type": "H264",
"position": 0
},
"stream": {
"pid": 5411,
"type": "AC3",
"position": 1,
"language": "eng"
},
"stream": {
"pid": 298,
"type": "CA",
"position": 262144,
"caidlist": [ {
"caid": 6208
}
]
},
"stream": {
"pid": 42,
"type": "CA",
"position": 262144,
"caidlist": [ {
"caid": 6166
}
]
}
}

cat _dev_dvb_adapter0_Genpix_DVB_S12675980_L_satconf_4/_dev_dvb_adapter0_Genpix_DVB_S12675980_L_satconf_4_2576

As you can see its missing important things like provider, servicename and I'm assuming the stream type of H264 is being handled wrong since its not mapping anywhere.
When I try to 'play' the stream from this service I don't get anything either.
