Problems with DVB-S

HI i am new at this board, but i am big fan of VLC. I used it on every OS.

My Problem is that i am not able to watch with VLC and my DVB-S card.

With kaffeine everything works great !

Here are the log-files of szap and my vlc - command , maybe you can help me ;)
I tried with dvb-voltage =13 and 18 and always the same problem.

Code: Select all

DVB-S

A card that allows satellite reception (Usually PCI, but USB becoming more common). I personally have a SKYSTAR2 PCI card.

there should be a program 1234 at the end of the line.
The real program number is at the end of the line of channels.conf from scan (dvb-utils).
w,k.r.

I don't understand your posts - what should or could I do to watch from my Dvbn- Card ?

Your problem is a space between frequency parameter and number

Code: Select all

:dvb-frequency= 12207000
It should be

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv --color dvb:// :dvb-frequency=12207000 :dvb-srate=27500000 :dvb-adapter=0 :dvb-device=0 :dvb-satno=0 :dvb-voltage=13 --dvb-tone=0

I tried it with : vlc -vvv --color dvb:// :dvb-frequency=12207000 :dvb-srate=27500000 :dvb-adapter=0 :dvb-device=0 :dvb-satno=0 :dvb-voltage=13 --dvb-tone=0

but I got the same Errors :(

here is the logfile:
vlc -vvv --color dvb:// :dvb-frequency=12207000 :dvb-srate=27500000 :dvb-adapter=0 :dvb-device=0 :dvb-satno=0 :dvb-voltage=13 --dvb-tone=0
