Description

I'm running Fedora 18 on a HP N40L Microserver under with a DigitalNow Quad DVB-T Receiver (http://www.digitalnow.com.au/product_pages/Quad.html) as a backend server and a AMD E-350 running OpenELEC 3.0.0 frontend.

I was using MythTV (under Fedora 16) as a backend, but ever since OpenELEC 2.95.5 (OpenELEC 3.0 RC5) I have been experiencing buffering/stuttering of live TV every few seconds.

I've never been particularly happy with MythTV and now that Tvheadend timeshifting has matured, I figured I would give it a go

I cloned the git repo and successfully compiled tvheadend (commit e9ce02138e81d0dd94a2b155e57fda282063c008) and ran it with build.linux/tvheadend -C

Going to Configuration->DVB Inputs->TV Adapters, I selected each adapter clicked on 'Add DVB Network by location...' and selected Australia/Newcastle from the list.

There is a service name for all the commercial stations (NBN Newcastle, PRIME, and SCA multiplexers), but the service name for the ABC and SBS channels are all blank. These channels worked perfectly well in MythTV.

OK, looks like the problem is that the services are not considered TV/Radio (Type=OTHER). We need to find out what the service types being provided are and map them within TVH.

Can you send me your dvbtransports configuration folder...

Updated by Mike Freeman over 11 years ago

I'm still having this problem as of version 3.5.225~g5956233. I get almost no named services and mapped channels. I have to manually name each channel for them to work.
