for your info i'm using this project on ubuntu 11.10 x64

Hi Persian Prince,

nice to hear that you're using openpliPC. Do you develop your plugin on openpliPC?

Hi Betacentauri,

To watch movies (video), work at least in the Pli-HD skins, must be from the master branch of the Enigma that put out a new branch openpli_merge overwrite files
or to /usr/local/e2/lib/enigma2/python/

Screen/Dish.py ,
Components/ServiceEventTracker.py,
Components/Converter/pliExpertinfo.py,
Components/Converter/ServiceOrbitalPosition.py

And for me did make this changes, switch audio track litle fast

Hi Raider05,

have you tested with my latest patch? With it I get no green screen while watching movies (mkv). Do you get a green screen or does E2 freeze?
In case of green screen please post log.

And for me did make this changes, switch audio track litle fast

Thanks for the code!! I have tried almost the same (comment out playVideo in audio part). But for me it didn't work properly.
I hope you have solved the problem. I'll check it tomorrow.

Hi, Betacentauri

Thanks you for patch. For me am now Fullscreen_Mode at the launch Enigma2 fine works

have you tested with my latest patch? With it I get no green screen while watching movies (mkv). Do you get a green screen or does E2 freeze?

Yes, i am testing your last changes. Now can watch movies (mkv, avi) and have't green screen , thanks. I will continue to test.

I have tried almost the same (comment out playVideo in audio part)

Switch audio track at the view Live TV is same works and faster (2-3 sec) than before. You do not work ?

I had no time to test your code. And when I have time (e.g. now) my STB is in use (I use vtuner). I'll change the source code now and will test it tomorrow.

Hi Raider05,

thanks very much!

With the other source code changing audio channels work and watching recordings is much more stable. But not 100% stable. And I also recognized once a very long switching time. There must be another bug.

Regards,
Betacentauri

[betacentauri]

Hi all,

I have published a new patch for openpli_merge branch. Watching live tv and recordings is much more stable.
Switching live channels is sometimes very slow (especially when watching HD channels).

Regards,
Betacentauri

[betacentauri]

I can switch audio tracks at the view in movies (mkv, avi) when use these changes.

Hi Raider05,

I have applied your changes to git (openpli_merge branch).
It works without problems. Thanks very much!

Hi,

Here is the final version of create_nim_sockets utility.

By default it will scan from adapter0 to adapter3 and for each from frontend0 to frontend3.
You can change this behavior from command line option -a and -f.
It will also create the file nim_sockets in the current folder, you can also change this with the -o option.

sudo ./create_nim_sockets -o /usr/local/e2/etc/tuxbox/nim_sockets

Will create the nim_sockets file at the right place (if you keep the default OpenpliPC destination path). People that uses a script to launch OpenpliPC can simply add this line in the script to have a dynamically created nim_sockets file.

./create_nim_sockets -h

Info: create_nim_sockets 1.0 started


Command line options:
	 Optional:
     -a number of adapter	 : provide a numerical value default:4
     -f number of frontend    : provide a numerical default:4
     -o /path/filename	    : path and filename default:./nim_sockets
    -h					   : this help
     -d					   : enable debug

Option -d will simply be more verbose and can be usefull for troubleshooting.

@Betacentauri,

Can you please include this file in the OpenpliPC tree, source file is attached in the .tgz


Thanks,

Pr2

I see what you trying to do, but it still not working as it shut do
etc i have a hauppauge hvr 4000 card whit dvb-s2 and dvb-t
when i run you script it create a nim_sockets whit only

NIM Socket 0:
Type: DVB-S2
Name: Conexant CX24116/CX24118
Has_Outputs: no
Frontend_Device: 0

when the correct one shut be

NIM Socket 0:
Type: DVB-S2
Name: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400
Frontend_Device: 0
Has_Outputs: no
NIM Socket 1:
Type: DVB-T
Name: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400
Frontend_Device: 1
Has_Outputs: no

[kerven]

thank pr2

auto nim sockets work well for me..

NIM Socket 0:
Type: DVB-S
Name: vTuner proxyFE DVB-S
Has_Outputs: no
Frontend_Device: 0
NIM Socket 1:
Type: DVB-T
Name: Siano Mobile Digital MDTV Receiver
Has_Outputs: no
Frontend_Device: 0
----------------------------------------
for twintuner like hvr400 , it"s more complicated to do....

Hi all. Very cool project you guys have going on here.

Having a lot of success with this so far, however a very curious issue with the included xine-lib though. It compiles OK, but about half the h.264 channels I try to play give a green screen of death then you'll see the video start to play in the bottom of the screen with no audio then a few seconds later enigma will shutdown. mpeg2 channels seem OK so far. Nvidia vdpau works fine with my video card. CPU usage is almost zero on the h.264 channels that play OK.

I switched from the master branch to the old_xine_lib branch and I get the same results. I did make sure to clear all the xine libs out of /usr in between changes. I have some xine lib e2pc deb files that I found posted for the cougar-enigma project and if I install those everything seems to play OK using vdpau at least. Switching from vdpau it crashes. Only major problem I found with those libs is I can't change audio tracks which is necessary on some channels.

Any thoughts? Something goofy with my compiler? Wrong Nvidia driver version? It's a Ubuntu 11.04 system but nvidia has been upgraded from ppa. I have a log file made during a crash. I'll see if I can attach that. This is with the master branch.

Please also check on your system the access right on the above files?

And can you please try to run it as sudo:

sudo ./create_nim_sockets -d

If the program cannot acces the "files" then it cannot retrieve the DVB tuner informations.

The program is looking at adapter from 0 to 3 and for each of them for frontend from 0 to 3 too (by default) so the program scans your entries but probably cannot open it to read the detail.

About the Name: Conexant CX24116/CX24118 this is the information returned by the driver that you have installed on your system, if Hauppage is not using this chipset then you have a conflict between your drivers on your system and some clean-up is needed.

Thanks,

P.S.: I am currentely facing some internet problem at home so I am not sure to be able to answer you this week-end.

[signal.quest]

Hello. I am completely new to this project. I hope you don't mind me asking a question. Would I be able to utilize a QAM tuner such as an Avermedia A180 with this project? If not natively, could I use it through a VTUNER? Thanks.

[Pr2]

@MrCoolSpan

I will try to add even mode debug to understand why there is no output for /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1

@signal.quest

If you mean DVB-T or DVB-C yes it will work with OpenpliPC (either with a physical card in the PC or via vtuner).
Analogic signal is not supported by E2.

Thanks for the response I am trying to use DVB-S2 for SAT and a ATSC/Clear QAM digital DVB card for unencrypted cable in US. Should this work? Thanks.

e2 currently has no ATSC support (though probably not too hard to implement this, we need somebody with hardware and an ATSC signal, to do the job)
