Hi,
I haven't been able to make rotor plugin work with the multiproto
driver. I created dummy channel entries that have tone off (f < 11700)
into beginning of each satellite position group in my channels.conf and
now zapping with rotor plugin by pressing ok and then < and > keys works
with 100% success. I have been looking at rotor plugin and didn't get
idea how switching off tone could be syncronized to tuning and
diseqc.conf sequences without possible negative influence to tuning. Or
is there a guarantee for some order of execution? I wonder if it worked
with the existing Linux kernel DVB-S driver with just good luck.
Wouldn't it be better to have in diseqc.conf possibility for this kind
of setup
S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t V W15 G W15 v t
S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t V W15 G W15 v T
S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 G W15 V t
S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 G W15 V T
where the continuous tone is first switched off, then LNB voltage is set
to 18V for better rotor speed and then GotoX is sent with internal
computation based on new position and geographic location, etc (to be
added to vdr setup, e.g. LNB diseqc config page). There could blind be
waiting of positioning inside G operation with estimate about rotor
speed to avoid temporary tuning to intermediate positions. Finally the
proper tone and voltage is set. This way there would be exact control
when GotoX is issued. It would be possible to enable EIT scan and
channel/multiplex updates with rotor without fear that it messes up
channels.conf. With some more thinking the "t V W15" and "W15" should
perhaps be put inside "G".
This could be done by utilizing code from rotor plugin this into dvbdevice.c
if (frontendType & (DVBFE_DELSYS_DVBS | DVBFE_DELSYS_DVBS2)) {
unsigned int frequency = channel.Frequency();
if (Setup.DiSEqC) {
cDiseqc *diseqc = Diseqcs.Get(channel.Source(),
channel.Frequency(), channel.Polarization());
if (diseqc) {
if (diseqc->Commands() && (!diseqcCommands ||
strcmp(diseqcCommands, diseqc->Commands()) != 0)) {
cDiseqc::eDiseqcActions da;
for (char *CurrentAction = NULL; (da =
diseqc->Execute(&CurrentAction)) != cDiseqc::daNone; ) {
switch (da) {
case cDiseqc::daNone: break;
case cDiseqc::daToneOff: CHECK(ioctl(fd_frontend,
FE_SET_TONE, SEC_TONE_OFF)); break;
case cDiseqc::daToneOn: CHECK(ioctl(fd_frontend,
FE_SET_TONE, SEC_TONE_ON)); break;
case cDiseqc::daVoltage13: CHECK(ioctl(fd_frontend,
FE_SET_VOLTAGE, SEC_VOLTAGE_13)); break;
case cDiseqc::daVoltage18: CHECK(ioctl(fd_frontend,
FE_SET_VOLTAGE, SEC_VOLTAGE_18)); break;
case cDiseqc::daMiniA: CHECK(ioctl(fd_frontend,
FE_DISEQC_SEND_BURST, SEC_MINI_A)); break;
case cDiseqc::daMiniB: CHECK(ioctl(fd_frontend,
FE_DISEQC_SEND_BURST, SEC_MINI_B)); break;
case cDiseqc::daGotoX: {
...
int gotoXTable[10] = { 0x00, 0x02, 0x03, 0x05, 0x06, 0x08,
0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0D, 0x0E };
int satlong = (Source & ~0xC800);
if ((Source & 0xC000) != 0x8000)
return;
if (Source & 0x0800)
satlong = satlong * (-1);
int Long=data.GotoxEW ? -data.GotoxLong : data.GotoxLong;
int Lat=data.GotoxSN ? -data.GotoxLat : data.GotoxLat;
double
azimuth=M_PI+atan(tan((satlong-Long)*M_PI/1800)/sin(Lat*M_PI/1800));
double
x=acos(cos((satlong-Long)*M_PI/1800)*cos(Lat*M_PI/1800));
double elevation=atan((cos(x)-0.1513)/sin(x));
double
SatHourangle=180+atan((-cos(elevation)*sin(azimuth))/(sin(elevation)*cos(Lat*M_PI/1800)
-cos(elevation)*sin(Lat*M_PI/1800)*cos(azimuth)))*180/M_PI;
int tmp=(int)(fabs(180-SatHourangle)*10);
tmp=(tmp/10)*0x10 + gotoXTable[ tmp % 10 ];
int p2=(tmp%0x0100);
int p1=(tmp/0x0100);
if (SatHourangle < 180)
p1 |= 0xe0;
else
p1 |= 0xd0;
DiseqcCommand(Gotox,p1,p2);
}
...
break;
But as vdr illiterate I couldn't figure how to check if the zapped
source (diseqc->source?) is a new one to avoid generating unnecessary
DiSEqC traffic and delays, and wondered to get a global variable for
storing the previous position... help!
Or does this make sense?
Cheers,
Seppo
