Hi..
I am unable to play any channel with techinstar skystar2 pci with vlc

this is how it looks:
mrl: dvb-s://frequency=12460000
options: :dvb-srate=27500

error is:

Code: Select all

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvb-s://frequency=12460000'. Check the log for details.

and this is
message :

i tried using bda drivers and other usual drivers...
I can tune with dvbviewer and dvbviewer and everything is ok...
VLC is 1.0.0 Goldeneye

You use the tuner via QT4 GUI? Or you just paste the MRL?

via gui(with wizard), or if I paste, its all the same...it does not work
I even tried with command prompt vlc dvb-s://frequency=12460000 :dvb-srate=27500
but without success
It seems when I use bda drivers for skystar2 in messages there is this line main debug: looking for access module: 1 candidate

but when I use native drivers there are 0 candidates, so I suppose it find some kind card...

Only BDA drivers are supported. And because you get warnings

bda warning: CreateTuneRequest: Cannot find a suitable System Tuning Space: hr=0x80004005
bda warning: SubmitDVBSTuneRequest: Cannot create Tune Request: hr=0x80004005

with both method, I assume VLC code changes are required to make it work.

ok...i have BDA drivers for skystar2 card installed and they are working with other programs like mediaportal, so I assume it is problem with VLC...
Is ther any other card that is working with sattelite reception?
I want also to congrat to vlc team, for milestone release of version 1.0 and now streaming and transcoding with h264 of DVB-T is finaly working

I tried with latest 1.1-pre version but it is not working..
can someone tell me if I am doing it right?
so I have transponder on 10832 Mhz, so I am putting 10832000 and for 22000 symbol rate, I am putting 22000000
is that right?
this should open whole transponder, so I could choose programs that are on that transponder
