VDR Issues with DVB-T Services in Israel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi.
I'm trying to get vdr working with DVB-T Services in Israel.
I think that something maybe off with the transmission because I can watch the dvb-t stream with VLC, MuMuDVB but not with VDR and TVHEADEND. (In windows platform there isn't any issue, working with MediaPortal, MC7)
I may add that I've really basic skills with linux and very limited experience with vdr.
My goal is to set VDR as a TV server and XBMC machines as clients.
I've followed this guide http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=62696  and installed on ubuntu 11.04.

My scan template
# Initial scan config for Israel
# T freq bw fec_hi fec_lo mod transmission-mode guard-interval hierarchy
T 538000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM16 8k 1/32 AUTO
T 514000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM16 8k 1/32 AUTO

Successfully found and config the channels, installed vnsiserver.
When trying to watch the channels with xbmc, xbmc connecting and disconnecting to vdr constantly (while i can see the channels listing on xbmc).
I had no idea where to find the vdr log file, and didn't knew how to watch vdr stream without xbmc, so i've installed vdr-fbfe plugin run it and got allot of errors, you can see them in the attached file vdr-fbfe.txt.

I had no idea where the problem origin, so i've followed this guide http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=45314 to manual compile everything i could, that didn't help.

I'm using a usb dvb-t dongle based on afatech af9015 chip running a virtualbox ubuntu machine.
I've also tried a usb dvb-t dongle based on ite9135 chip (had to manual compile drivers).


More info

Using vlc to save the ts stream
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe   dvbt://frequency=538000000 --demux=dump :demuxdump-file="D:\test.ts"   
you can get it from here http://www.2shared.com/file/9QZtoJrZ/test.html

Scan information in scanlog.txt file.
Stream info in streaminfo.txt file.

Information on this issue in TVHEADEND https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/issues/251.


I would be happy to get vdr working.

Thanks in advance,
Barak.
