After a year with my DD Cine S2 I decide to use the second tuner on this card.
Because I only have one cable on the place of the htpc. I installed a unicable solution.
So that was not a problem. It worked for now but I have audio drops and periodically small
artefacts on some channals...
I have changed the following settings for unicable solution:

src.conf

Code:

0 1400
1 1516

diseqc.conf

Code:

diseqc.conf
# SCR (Satellite Channel Routing):
#
S19.2E  11700 V  9750  t V W10 S0 [E0 10 5A 00 00] W10 v
S19.2E  99999 V 10600  t V W10 S1 [E0 10 5A 00 00] W10 v
S19.2E  11700 H  9750  t V W10 S2 [E0 10 5A 00 00] W10 v
S19.2E  99999 H 10600  t V W10 S3 [E0 10 5A 00 00] W10 v

The signal quality (signal strength) is arround 70-75

Any Ideas what is happend

You may need to disable epg scanning while steaming with the new setting: vnsiserver.AvoidEPGScan

thanks, I will try this...

So I only have to "update" the vdr-plugin-vnsiserver...

[sveni_lee]

I tried to install the new vdr-plugin-vnsiserver
but i get the following error

Code:

so I don`t know what is wrong...

I tried to compile the VDR & vdr-plugin-vnsiserve with follow this HowTo
because I have some different path for VDR I changesd as follow

Code:

make VDRDIR=/etc/vdr LIBDIR=/usr/lib/vdr/plugins

that seems do be worked but when I install it used the path the path usr/local/lib/vdr
So I copied the libs into my path /usr/lib/vdr/plugins and it seems to be work to...
When I look into my syslog everything looks okay the vnsi-client connects to the vnsiserver
but when I click on "liveTV" in main menu I got a black screen...

I don't know whats going wrong...

edit: corrected the path

edit2: I just checked the xbmc.log and there is the MyPVRChannel.xml missing...
Is this new to Kodi14 Alpha4?

you should not use any other skin than Confluence for Helix. Nox5 could be ready as well.

I have also noticed artifacts appearing while streaming (looks like few pixels wide of random color placed somewhere randomly in the image).
Definitely gonna try suggested fix. Thanks!

[sveni_lee]

I have switched the tv-card into my server(24/7) and have compiled VDR with following plugins:

• vnsi-server
  
• DVBAPI
  
• epgsearch
  
• streamdev.-server
  
• live
  

and now the artefacs are back! So i have tried the same solution as last time and add the following line to setup.conf

Code:

vnsiserver.AvoidEPGScan = 1

as second I tried to change epgScan as follow

Code:

EPGScanTimeout = 0

but VDR writes nevertheless every 10minutes epg datas

Code:

Dec 30 11:03:05 Gotham-City vdr: [4820] switching to channel 2
Dec 30 11:03:16 Gotham-City vdr: [4820] switching to channel 2
Dec 30 11:03:20 Gotham-City vdr: [5322] epg data writer thread started (pid=4820, tid=5322, prio=low)
Dec 30 11:03:21 Gotham-City vdr: [5322] epg data writer thread ended (pid=4820, tid=5322)
Dec 30 11:03:27 Gotham-City vdr: [4820] switching to channel 2

I dont know why but VDR tunes every 11 seconds to channal 2...

[FernetMenta]

does it scan epg while streaming?

[sveni_lee]

yes. yesterday evening it did...

[FernetMenta]

can you try with only dvbapi and vnsiserver loaded.

[sveni_lee]

I will test when I back at home... thanks

[sveni_lee]

Now I've test...
Is the same. I disabled all plugin without DVBAPI and vnsi-server by editing runvdr...

VDR writes epg-datas wile vnsi is streaming...

Code:

Dec 30 18:45:20 Gotham-City vdr: [7591] switching to channel 2
Dec 30 18:45:24 Gotham-City vdr: [7609] VNSI: Trigger EPG update for channel Disney Channel HD, id: 1711345227

Dec 30 18:53:13 Gotham-City vdr: [7591] switching to channel 2
