Re: No Audio on ATSC Qam256 or OTA..

You can just turn off updates in vdr setup menu. Then it shouldn't change anything and you can do it manually

My Cable provider or VDR seems to mess up the audio pid regularly for
various channels.  Is there a way (or patch) that I can keep the update
pids on, except for the apids?  They move the vpids around about once a
month, so keeping vpid updating depending on sid is worthwhile,
otherwise I would turn off the updatepids line.

I have it normally connected to Comcast cable which should pipe

a bunch of FTV channels using QAM256. These I can see and hear in
kaffeine with AC97 audio. However, in VDR it appears to change the
pids
automatically so that the audio stops working. If I manually change
VDR
to not auto update and put the APID in then it squeeks rather than
works. However, streaming to mplayer using streamdev seems to work.
(It
does the same this with OTA channels too - although I can only get 4
with a portable antenna.)


ATSC uses only AC-3 audio, so the Apid should be 0 and the Dpid
needs to
be set appropriately. Since the sound squeaks, whatever value you
have
set for the Apid should be the Dpid.

For example,

WIFR-Wx:495000:M256:C:0:1984:0;Dpid:0:0:2:0:0:0



Perfect... Thanks

Is there a way to keep auto update on, but stop Comcast from sending
wrong pids?  It keeps settings all audio options to 0 and some vpids
too?


The streamtype for those AC3 PIDs is 0x81. Adding this to pat.c will
add the digital PIDs correctly.

Perfect.  I wonder if this could go in the atscepg patch?
Can you try if this also works if you insert the line

                 case 0x81:             // AC3 DPIDs

after the line

                 //XXX case 8: // STREAMTYPE_13818_DSMCC

instead? I'm asking because I'd like to see whether there are
also language descriptors available...

Klaus
Yes, language descriptors are present. However, ATSC also uses 0x81 as
the AC3 descriptor tag. So we need another

case 0x81:

after

case SI::AC3DescriptorTag:

In case this is still current, can you please send me a (tested) patch?

Klaus


Sure, please see the attached patch.
