Prob streaming .TS to PCH (config prob??)

[martint123]

Another plea for help I'm afraid.

On my test machine I have installed a DVB-S tuner and TS streams seem to the way to go.

When I try to watch live TV or recorded .TS shows, the PCH says "buffering" but nothing happens and there seems to be no network activity.

With the native PCH interface, the files are playable.

Looking in the logs, it would appear to my un-educated eye that some options are not being picked up from the MAC-address section. Although the gbpvr menu size/position does change if that section is removed.

In MVP-PVRX2.exe-2.log at 13:00:29 is the following

2008-06-12 13:00:29.578 VERBOSE [6] getValue() loading new key/value into cache: /settings/MVPSpecificSettings/MAC-0006DC421C5E/MVPClientType
2008-06-12 13:00:29.578 VERBOSE [6] getValue: /settings/MVPSpecificSettings/MAC-0006DC421C5E/MVPClientType : unknown

and at 13:02:35 is

2008-06-12 13:02:25.234 VERBOSE [7] getValue() loading new key/value into cache: /settings/MVPSpecificSettings/MAC-0006DC421C5E/MVPTranscodeTS
2008-06-12 13:02:25.234 VERBOSE [7] getValue: /settings/MVPSpecificSettings/MAC-0006DC421C5E/MVPTranscodeTS : true

These would appear to conflict with what is in config.xml which I have also included in the zip log file, along with a telnet dump of ifconfig to show the hardware address.

<MAC-0006dc421c5e>
<MVPClientType>PCH</MVPClientType>
<MVPWidth>1280</MVPWidth>
<MVPHeight>720</MVPHeight>
<MVPOffsetX>0</MVPOffsetX>
<MVPOffsetY>0</MVPOffsetY>
<MVPSendIncrementalUpdates>true</MVPSendIncrementalUpdates>
<MVPTranscodeTS>false</MVPTranscodeTS>
<MVPTranscodeAVI>false</MVPTranscodeAVI>
<MVPTranscodeWMV>false</MVPTranscodeWMV>
<MVPTranscodeMKV>false</MVPTranscodeMKV>
</MAC-0006dc421c5e>


Any assistance would be most welcome.

Before I dig too deep could you change the MAC- section to be upper case and see if there is a difference.

Superstar Sir. Upper case and things seem to be recognised now. I still have a problem with my test machine but I should be able to chase it further myself.

thank you kindly Martin

2008-06-12 17:42:09.671 VERBOSE [6] Client type is PCH. Raising limits to a maximum of 1920x1080.

Which is a great improovment over "unknown".
