Vlc configured Dvb-S-card as Dvb-T-device ?

Postby mistertool » 14 Jan 2012 17:37

Hey!

My system-info: ubuntu 11.10 (newest v4l-dvb compiled and installed) , vlc v.1.1.12 , Installed devices: one and only WinTV-Nova-HD-S2 PCI TV-card (registered per "dmesg | grep dvb).

I would open with vlc my TV-card by frequenc and symbol-rate. "media"-->"open capture device"--> "capture mode=DVB"--> "DVB-Type=DVB-S"--> i filled in the transponderfrequency and the symbol-rate and then i pushed the button "play", after i becomed a message that "can't open this frequency" . I looked at the error console verbosity-level 2 with the following ....

Code: Select all

qt4 warning: Input option: dvb-adapter=0 qt4 warning: Input option: dvb-srate=27500000000 qt4 warning: Input option: file-caching=300 main debug: adding item `dvb://frequency=12188000' ( dvb://frequency=12188000 ) main debug: rebuilding array of current - root Wiedergabeliste main debug: rebuild done - 1 items, index -1 main debug: processing request item dvb://frequency=12188000 node Wiedergabeliste skip 0 main debug: resyncing on dvb://frequency=12188000 main debug: dvb://frequency=12188000 is at 0 main debug: starting new item main debug: creating new input thread main debug: Creating an input for 'dvb://frequency=12188000' main debug: selected audio language[0] de main debug: selected audio language[1] any main debug: selected subtitle language[0] de main debug: thread (input) created at priority 10 (input/input.c:220) main debug: thread started main debug: TIMER input launching for 'dvb://frequency=12188000' : 9951315.000 ms - Total 9951315.000 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 9951315.000 ms) main debug: using timeshift granularity of 50 MiB main debug: using timeshift path '/tmp' main debug: `dvb://frequency=12188000' gives access `dvb' demux `' path `frequency=12188000' main debug: creating demux: access='dvb' demux='' path='frequency=12188000' qt4 debug: Adding a new MRL to recent ones: dvb://frequency=12188000 main debug: looking for access_demux module: 0 candidates main debug: no access_demux module matched "dvb" main debug: TIMER module_need() : 0.147 ms - Total 0.147 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 0.147 ms) main debug: creating access 'dvb' path='frequency=12188000' main debug: looking for access module: 1 candidate dvb debug: Opening device /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 qt4 debug: IM: Setting an input dvb debug: Frontend Info: dvb debug: name = Conexant CX24116/CX24118 dvb debug: type = OFDM (DVB-T) dvb debug: frequency_min = 950000 (kHz) dvb debug: frequency_max = 2150000 (kHz) dvb debug: frequency_stepsize = 1011 dvb debug: frequency_tolerance = 5000 dvb debug: symbol_rate_min = 1000000 (kHz) dvb debug: symbol_rate_max = 45000000 (kHz) dvb debug: symbol_rate_tolerance (ppm) = 0 dvb debug: notifier_delay (ms) = 0 dvb debug: Frontend Info capability list: dvb debug: inversion auto dvb debug: forward error correction 1/2 dvb debug: forward error correction 2/3 dvb debug: forward error correction 3/4 dvb debug: forward error correction 4/5 dvb debug: forward error correction 5/6 dvb debug: forward error correction 6/7 dvb debug: forward error correction 7/8 dvb debug: forward error correction auto dvb debug: card can do QPSK dvb debug: card can recover from a cable unplug dvb debug: End of capability list dvb debug: trying to tune the frontend... dvb debug: using inversion=2 dvb debug: using bandwidth=0 dvb debug: using fec=9 dvb debug: using fec=9 dvb debug: using transmission=0 dvb debug: using guard=0 dvb debug: using hierarchy=0 dvb error: DVB-T: setting frontend failed (-1): Invalid argument dvb error: DVB-T: tuning failed main debug: no access module matching "dvb" could be loaded main debug: TIMER module_need() : 159.340 ms - Total 159.340 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 159.340 ms) main error: open of `dvb://frequency=12188000' failed: (null) main debug: thread ended main debug: dead input main debug: changing item without a request (current 0/1) main debug: nothing to play qt4 debug: IM: Deleting the input

You need to select the correct card. Evidently, the first one is DVB-T.

It might work better with VLC 1.2.

Thanks for your reply, Remi Denis-Courmont !

I have new installed ubuntu, to remove the old configuration section from the other cards. Its only excist this card in the directory under "/dev/dvb/adapter0" , but where did vlc read out this "DVB-T Info" when no other cards are installed ?
For the VLC v. 1.2. i must wait to can load and install , because the newest version is now 1.1.13 for linux.

The DVB-T you see is coming from the name of the device (driver). You can try to force dvb-s:/ instead of dvb:// but it really looks like your device is DVB-T, or the Linux device driver thinks so.

Thanks Remi Denis...... for answer!

Ok,...... I'm sure that my device is an DVB-S/S2-type-card without DVB-T ,because the pci-card can't encode dvb-t. I have payed it personal in an electronic shop. The second reason that you have said is true. device driver declares it as dvb-t device, but what can i do now? I would feel happy when i could help leaps the device-driver to config the card to the correct parameters.
