VLC V2.0.0 won't play ATSC digital OTA TV channel

VLC V2.0.0 won't play ATSC digital OTA TV channel

I had it working on a previous version with command like this:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" atsc:// :dvb-modulation=8VSB :program=1 :dvb-physical-channel=13
I don't remember the version number.

The same command line is not working any more with V2.0.0.
I am using Windows 7 64bit.

Any though please?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Can you share the logs?

[yardern]

I actually could not find the log file.
I checked Preferences - Advanced - Logging, the file name is empty.
I put a name in it, saved it.

Run VLC again, no log file was created.

[Lotesdelere]

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin if it's too long.

[yardern]

With VLC + Message windows open, I could not use the command line.
So I opened Capture Device - Digital TV - Freq=210000kHz(Channel 13) - Major channel=13 - Minor channel=1 - Physical channel=13.
I got this:

This warning, once again.

bda_la-bdagraph.lo warning: Build: Tune Request is invalid: hr=0x80004001

This warning, once again.

Does this mean I need to wait for next release? Thanks.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Probably, yes.

Please test this build:

I used 1.1.11 to watch ATSC, and also found it not working in 2.0.1. So I downloaded your nightly build.

This is the command line I had been using under 1.1.11:

Code: Select all

F:\VideoLAN\vlc.exe atsc:// :dvb-modulation=8VSB :program=1 :dvb-physical-channel=32

which no longer works.

In the nightly build, i started VLC with no command line options, then chose the Open Media dialog, Capture Device tab:

Code: Select all

Tuner card: 0 (not knowing what it should be) Delivery system: ATSC Transponder/multiplex frequency: 578000 kHz (RF 32)

I pasted the tail end of my old command line

Code: Select all

:dvb-modulation=8VSB :program=1 :dvb-physical-channel=32

into the Edit Options box on the Open Media dialog, rather than go through the Advanced Options (which generated a lot of qt4 messages)

When I pressed play, VLC generated these debug messages:

Code: Select all

No video displayed, and the Statistics tab of the Media Information dialog showed zeros in every field.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

It seems to tune, anyway.

[huygens1962]

OK, I uninstalled the nightly and reinstalled 1.1.11. Of course, all the command line ATSC shortcuts I had set up work perfectly.

The 2.0.x versions had the adapter card option on the Capture Device tab. In 1.1.11, it was inside the Advanced Options on the Capture Device tab. When I looked in on 1.1.11, the value for Capture Device was set to -1. You can’t go lower than 0 in 2.0.x. I don’t know if that is significant or not.

I also did not have to specify a transponder/multiplex frequency in 1.1.11.

So I ended up with:

Code: Select all

MRL atsc://frequency=0000 Edit Options :dvb-modulation=8VSB :program=1 :dvb-physical-channel=32

Here are the debug messages from the working 1.1.11 VLC:

That should keep you busy.

[john_f]

Busy indeed

OK, which version of Windows are you using? I was seeing crashes at that point when using Direct 3D. As J-B mentioned, at least it's tuning, so the problem is further along, probably when it's trying to draw the screen.

[john_f]

Another thought: is the VLC screen resizing just before the crash? if so, it could be another problem, not ATSC related.

Win XP Pro SP3.

[john_f]

and does VLC try to resize itself just before the crash?

[huygens1962]

You are the only person on the thread who has mentioned crashing behavior.

I simply don’t get any ATSC audio / video, where I did with 1.1.11. I will reinstall in a bit and see if it does any resizing.

OH - and your uninstaller is trying to uninstall 1.1.11 from a directory that doesn’t even exist. Guess I should make a note to go through Control Panel and always do it myself.

And no resizing behavior is noted.

1.1.11 accessed a “bda” module instead of the “dtv” module that 2.0.2 is using. Is this intentional?

[huygens1962]

Thought I would follow up on this.

I downloaded and installed vlc-2.0.3-win32 today, and the ATSC behavior has not changed since my last post in March 2012. The error messages still indicate that VLC 2.0.3 is trying to use a “dtv” module instead of the “bda” module it used in 1.1.11.

Didn’t know if you guys had tried to fix this or not.

dtv == bda.

For the rest, I do not know.
