Do I understand correctly that VU+ patches enigma to return "true" on multistream when they detect the S2x FBC tuner? Do I smell "#if box then" constructions?

 

Most/all of the patch Littlesat is referring to is not required to get multistream working.

More if some string is in the tuner type then overrule... we already have such thing in place for a different box

[Erik Slagter]

Just like I said. The driver should return the capability, simple as that. VU+ already changed that for us for the Silicon Labs tuner. I guess we should send a request. Athoik can you prepare it, you know what's required.

See the of not multistream row here....

def isMultistream(self):
  multistream = self.frontend_id is not None and eDVBResourceManager.getInstance().frontendIsMultistream(self.frontend_id) or False
  # HACK due to poor support for VTUNER_SET_FE_INFO
  # When vtuner does not accept fe_info we have to fallback to detection using tuner name
  # More tuner names will be added when confirmed as multistream (FE_CAN_MULTISTREAM)----?
  if not multistream and "TBS" in self.description:
     multistream = True
  return multistream

[Erik Slagter]

That's a USB tuner running over vtuner. I could image it's difficult to get the info from there properly.

 

But a pluggable tuner should simply work and report correctly.

[athoik]

This was done on purpose for Xtrend boxes failing to accept VTUNER_SET_FE_INFO.

So this hack was vtuner related.

Now the VTI most probably is returning true there (by checking name or VU+ introduced delsys S2X).

Anyway really don't give a shit on what VTI is doing. There are not playing fair... After all nobody confirmed that it really works on VTI, just a rumor from Rob.


Drivers return no multistream capability and enabling the capability on driver is a minute job (and I am not gutemine ).

But are they really multistream capable?

S2X might be, but not multistream!?.

Will you make the request to VU+? I guess now the Anga is finished, they may have some spare time.

[Dimitrij]

Seems DVB API 5.10  in VU+ working incorrectly.

What API call exactly?

Sure, although I would be nice to have such sample in OpenPLi© team, in order not to spread rumors.

I made conclusions, looking here

[athoik]

OpenATV is using a multi-tuner approach different that ours.

Yes, the DELSYS API call is not implement using DVB-API, but they are still using the old procfs to change tuner type.

Although, I think, it doesn't affect OpenPLi© code.

But are they really multistream capable?

We are talking about BCM45308 right? Then yes it does, see Dream which have a tuner with this demod for month. Including working blindscan, multistream and S2X.

I guess we are talking about the same demodator.

Then it will be really simple to fix it.

yes

The problem is Vu only reports the current type. So if you have a hybrid DVB-C/T2 tuner API V5 only reports the active type, not the capability.

 

If you look at tuner info when hybrid tuner is in DVB-C mode it only reports that it is DVBC_ANNEX_A. And when it is in DVB-T2 mode it reports DVBT2. Correct bevahiour would be to report delivery system as "DVBC_ANNEX_A DVBT DVBT2" irrespective of the tuner config.

It's just what I read on their forum. I don't have the hardware, so I can't check myself.

def isMultistream(self):
	return True

Tested on Ultimo 4K with new D2X tuner (45308X FBC).

 

Doesn't work. Multistream transponders don't lock.

Could you test VTI?
