Can't receive Arte HD

[Koaheza]

Dear Folks,
I'm switching from wmc to kodi and wanted to use nextPVR as TV-backend.

My problem I can't receive some hd channels, not so worse if I could receive at least Arte in HD.
Don't know why, everything else works like a charm...

Information on how to receive Arte HD:
http://www.arte.tv/de/so-empfangen-sie-i...00188.html
Maybe it's that it uses MPEG4?


Thanks for answers!

I think you will need to provide all the files in the Logs folder. Start NPVR, try to watch Arte, then exit NPVR. Zip the entire logs folder, and post. If it's MPEG4 you will need a h.264 decoder, I believe. You could check that.

It's probably just a matter of the .ini file for satellite Astra 19.2E being badly out of date. This file is in Users\Public\NPVR\Tuning\DVB-S, filename 0192 ASTRA (deutsch) (19.2E).

A user posted a more recent .ini file for 19.2E, probably also out of date now but appears to include the frequency for Arte HD: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...-12000-MHz

The Attached ini file was generated a few minutes ago by this website http://satellites-xml.eu/get-ini

Place in the folder mentioned above and use this for tuning (it has the Arte frequency). I believe you will need a DVB-S2 tuner for HD Satellite.

If you do not have a MPEG4 Codec I would recommend SAF6 Codec Pack - it sets up everything in NPVR - PM Hoborg for the Unlock Key.
The PDVD Codec is the best for MPEG2 and MPEG4 in NPVR along with SAF Audio Codec for AC3, AAC MPEG Audio.

Ok, i made a excel list and merged the two, hence with the new one i couldn't receive private tv stations in sd.
Now it works.

For people who maybe struggle with the same problem i will attach the corrected .ini file.

Thanks for the help!
