Tuner configuration setup, bug or not?

26 May 2016 - 21:39

I dont know if this is a bug or not but I get some strange behaviour when trying to setup my tuners with Advanced configuration mode:

 

I get this far on advanced config:

 

Configuration mode: Advanced

Satellite: All satellites 1 (USALS)

LNB: LNB65

Priority: Auto

LOF: Unicable

Unicable Configration mode: User defined <----This is the setting that I want to change to ex. the different brands of Unicable but when moving right/left nothing is happening and...

...This is the output that enigma2 gives me:

<  1488.473> action ->  SetupActions right
<  1488.473> unknown action SetupActions/right! typo in keymap?
<  1488.474> action ->  SetupActions right
<  1488.477> Creating setup
 
Is this a bug or is it something that is meant to not work?
 
Please let me know so I can adapt my settings accordingly :)
 
thank you all!

Vu+ Solo SE v2 with twin tuner and USALS

16 May 2016 - 19:30

I do not know if this is the right place to ask such a question but here goes nothing:

 

I have a Vu+ Solo SE v2 with twin tuners ie. 2x LNB inputs on the back and a motorised USALS dish.
The retailer I bought it from told me that there is also an internal loopthrough function on this so that I can internally "clone" one cable's input to be able to record + watch different channels in the same quadrant (transponder and polarity afaik?)

 

I have tried setting up my tuners in the box in many different ways but whenever I choose loopthrough either on A or B tuner well then I will get no channels showing at all, neither will my USALS motor move automatically or manually (drive right-left)

Everything works as it should when I set up only tuner A or B as simple single USALS tuner and the other tuner to not configured. Then I have manual motor function and automatic USALS working as it is supposed to.

 

I am well aware that I am limited in recording/watching different channels with only 1 cable from the dish but at least to have the channels in same quadrant showing would be an improvement over the "useless" twin tuner functionality that I have at the moment.

 

I will at some point with the landlords permission try to pull another cable from the dish and get a working dual output LNB but that is another story for the future, for now I would like to have the twintuner "internal cloning / loopthrough" working as advertised.

 

Anyone familiar with this and could point me in the right direction considering the tuner setup?

 

thanks all in advance!

 

 


VU SOLO SE v2 - NOPT RECORDING nor STREAMING, pau?!

16 May 2016 - 12:06

Hey all! I would like to apologize in advance if this has been asked and answered before here but I could not find any helpful information about it while searching these forums and also other places.

 

I have a VU+ Solo SE v2 which I would like to record to an external usb hdd(alternatively to my NAS box) and also be able to stream both via OpenWebIF and to the VU+ PVR addon on a XBMC/Kodi box. The problem here is that I would like to do this on an OpenPLi 4 image since this is the one that I like the msot, also it has good EPG functionality and is otherwise really fast and great image.

 

I have tried OpenATV (came with the box) and this worked OK, for recording and streaming. Also tried Blackhole which also worked fine with recording and streaming.

 

Tried OpenPLi and found it was really nice and all, but the recording and streaming is not working:

- When trying to set timers for recording it will indeed "start" recording as I can see from OSD and also on the HDD it will create .ts.cuts / .ts / .eit / .ts.meta -files but they are 0-1kb in size although the recording has finished = it does not write any to the disc.

 

- When trying to stream from Webif it will only open in VLC a black screen and never show any picture, no matter what channel I am on. (same with transcoded streaming)

 

- When trying to use the VU+ PVR plugin for XBMC / Kodi it will load the EPG data and channel lists without any problem but when starting the stream or trying to zap channels it will only give me the rotating "working" symbol for 15sec and then stop and show no picture at all just go back to channel list.

 

All the information I have come across so far says that OpenPli 4 for VU+ Solo SE v2 does not have  something called "pau" as default which Blackhole and OpenATV should have and this is why the image is not recording properly on my box? Can someone confirm this and amybe enlighten me a bit on the subject of Pau, and also tell me if it is possible to install Pau on a OpenPLi build that does not have it already?

Since I have come to like the OpenPLi4 image now and it is snappy, looks good and simple to use and look at I would like to have this image with recording and streaming capabilities working.

 

Thank you all in advance and I hope we can sort this out now and maybe help some others in the process.

 

regards,

P
