Channels not found / Add manually

[hype]

Hello,

as I got enough of MediaPortal and it's thousands of problems I tried GB-PVR yesterday.
It looks very clean, fast and nice.

Now I got two questions, maybe someone can help me

Question 1:

To find all the channels of my provider (Kabel BW, Germany) I made a new ini-file based on the frequencies which MediaPortal scans.
Unfortunately GB-PVR doesn't find the two channels "Das Erste HD" and "ZDF HD".
I tried to manually add those channels, but I don't exactly know how.
Can someone help me adding the two channels or solving the problem that GB-PVR doesn't find them?


Question 2:

When switching between channels sometimes the screen turns black and I can only hear audio.
Sometimes the image of the old channel freezes and I hear the audio of the new channel.
How can this be solved?

My specs:
ASUS M4N785
Radeon HD4350
AMD X2 240
Terratec Cinergy C PCI HD


Regards,
Hype

Does it find other channels on the same frequency?

This is most likely related to the combination of decoders you're using. Reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the pvrx2.exe.log and pvrx2.exe-native.log files and i'll see if anything stands out.

Thanks for your reply.

No channels on that frequency (362000) are found.
For example "arte" and "BR-alpha" are missing, too.

Here's my ini:

I attached the logs.
The problem happened just now when I've been switching between RTL, n-tv and Pro Sieben.

Do a scan, then post the config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log and I'll see if there is any obvious reason why no channels are being found on that frequency.

I cant see any obvious reason for the playback problem, but I'm guessing its to do with your decoders - so try other decoders.

[hype]

Hm, weird.
I did another scan now and all channels were detected


Which codecs would you recommend?
I'm using PDVD9 Mpeg2 and h264 codec.


Another question:

I also got lots of radio channels in the list.
Can tv and radio channels be seperated somehow?

Great

Use whatever works well. Results will vary for users for lots of reasons (video card, video renderer, operating system etc). I'm using a Cyberlink MPEG2 video decoder, and Arcsoft H.264 decoder.

No, the channels are all listed together.
