DVB-S2 Scanning not working after 1.5.31

[sub]

Yeah, just the DVB-S2 frequency.

[agerdin]

Yeah, just the DVB-S2 frequency.

Ok, here is a new mon file from a scan with only S2 channels.

ini file used:

Code:

[SATTYPE]
1=3592
2=Thor 6 CD_HD

[DVB]
0=9
1=10934,H,25000,34,38
2=11785,H,30000,34,38
3=11903,H,25000,34,38
4=11903,V,25000,34,38
5=11934,H,25000,34,38
6=12015,H,30000,34,38
7=12054,H,27500,89,38
8=12092,H,27500,89,38
9=12128,H,30000,34,38

This file is also what I use in PVRX2 which results in HD channels found. Channels that I also can watch with MDPlugin.

Yeah, no sign of any signal there.

To be honest, I'm not really sure what to suggest at this stage.

[agerdin]

ok, well Ill go ahead with a fresh install to see if it will make any change.

Thanks anyway for looking into this.

\\Agerdin

[agerdin]

sub, as I suspected the reinstallation did not make much change. However, the npvr logs indicates that someting is found on some frequencies but still no channels or am I reading it wrong?

[sub]

Can you try collecting the mon.txt again for the DVB-S2 frequencies with this patch?

[agerdin]

sub, now we are talking. For this scan some (not all) expected channels actually came up in the scan list.

NPVR log and Mon file is attached.

\Agerdin

[sub]

Great.

Which channels were missing? one particular frequency, or some other combination?

[agerdin]

sub, several of channels are missing in NPVR compared to a scan in PVRX2 using the same scan file. As an example NPVR does not find anything on the frequency 11785 and 12015 where PVR2 finds channels. I am attaching a config log from PVRX2 where you can get all the details.

Thanks,

\\Agerdin

You may just need to bump up the <ScanCollectionMS> setting in config.xml.

You're using 15 seconds for the equivalent in GBPVR, vs the 4.5 seconds in NPVR.
