Hello everyone,

I've released a new 0.4.0 beta 1 test build:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51980102/SmartDVB040Beta1.zip

Main additions this time:

- support for multiple LNB's on a per satellite basis, based on frequency selection. You should be able to define more than 1 lnb with the satellite settings dialog (main menu 'add/edit frequencies > settings') for a specific satellite. This might be most useful for north american (c-band) users, so please let me know if this works as advertised for
you since I'm not able to test this very thorough.
- MadVR support. MadVR will show up as a selectable renderer only if installed. Please note that you require a strong system setup and 3d graphics video card to make use of MadVR, so don't go trying this on older systems please.
- left/right stereo Audio spectrum.
- client/server mode with HTTP or UDP streaming, including transcoding with an external transcoder like ffmpeg.exe (latter included in the installer archive). Requires testing.
- transport stream records transcoding, allowing you to save the recording to mp4/wmv/mp4/mkv/avi/mpg through ffmpeg transcoding (note mp4 transcoding will not work on XP systems, this is a known issue atm).
- parental lock settings.
- various scanner (normal scanner not blindscanner) enhancements and modifications (changes detection when updating, more frequencly list sorting etc) , requires testing.
- basic stream analyzer.
- providerid's should now be detected, where possible.
- and more
- as always lots of bug fixes and corrections/modifications.

As always, although quite extensive tests already have been done for this new beta, please still be careful when installing beta versions, preferably do a clean install or if you would like to test the upgrade process make sure you backup your previous install (the installer should backup your essential files if so required, but you never know of course).

Also i hope the freeze problems reported here previously which as noted might be related to timeshift settings are solved with this test..

best regards,
JackJavo

Yeesss :)

Made some short tests this morning ...

udp streaming (to my nexus 7 tablet using vplayer) -> ok
transcoded records (avi,mkv) ok

Zitat
Also i hope the freeze problems reported here previously which as noted might be related to timeshift settings are solved with this test..

yes... seems to be solved :)

ok thanks, hope's all ok here and you're all enjoying the nice weather too, from what i read it's a lot warmer sometimes in Germany compared to here..
@sil: is that udp streaming with transcoding enabled? Also when changing stations does the stream on the tablet update, or haven't u tried that, i think udp streaming itself might be a bit more stable compared to previously.

@sil: is that udp streaming with transcoding enabled?

no... but tried yet again with transcoding ... looks also ok :)

But channel changing (with transcoding or not) stops the stream :(

After retstart streaming on the client it works again ...

Hi Jack, many thanks for the new beta! I justed installed it and was very pleasantly surprised. I don't know whether you remember my problems with multiple HD PIP windows which did not work (very choppy). No problem now! I see an increase in CPU usage of course, about 4 % increase per window, so no problem at all. I have timeshift for all windows enabled.
Regards :)

Beitrag von: jackjavo am 01 Mai, 2014, 19:53
@sil: ok, this tends to be a problem with udp clients (vlc acts the same btw). Perhaps http streaming would work better, also with reconnects (i've seen VLC behave nicer also with HTTP streaming compared to UDP), i presume you're testing this locally, http streaming would also allow easier access from outside your LAN network for sure.
@dada: yes i do remember, can't remember anything specific i might have changed concerning this though, but some fix somewhere must have done something (perhaps it was also timeshift related somehow)..

Beitrag von: dada am 03 Mai, 2014, 20:44
I tested the UDP streaming in my home network yesterday: Works great! It streamed to my Smartphone SGS2 using vplayer or VLC as client. In the UDP settings of Smart it is only necessary to input the IP of the client (my smartphone) and a port (I used 1111), so ( in my case) UDP://@192.168.178.28:1111 (same then in the client) With HD stations I get frequent buffer problems in the client, with SD stations there is no problem, have to play with the settings to get that solved. Have not tried the transcoding yet but I suspect that my PC is too slow for that to be effective.
And I forgot, channel change stops the stream as SiL already mentioned.

Beitrag von: jackjavo am 04 Mai, 2014, 23:00
greetings data, good to hear from you again and thanks for the continued testing :)
Ok i would expect normal UDP streaming to work, these stream stops on channel change are problematic with UDP clients, most seem to have this, i'm quite sure it's some timestamp related issue. Could be that HTTP would work better (also might depend on the client somewhat), probably other protocols like RTP etc, might also fare better here too (latter not implemented yet of course).

Might the buffer overflows with HD have to do with the capability of that device or client program to process such high bandwidth streams? (could be another problem of course). You might still try transcoding then, to perhaps see if a lower HD bandwith to that device works differently, providing, like you mention, you have enough horsepower to transcode. I would still be interested to know how transcoding works, and if it works at all, with slower systems like yours though.

Beitrag von: dada am 04 Mai, 2014, 23:14
Thanks for the feedback, Jack. I'll try your suggestions but i guess the capabílties of my Galaxy S2 might be the limiting factor, transcoding then should be effective, though. Will keep you informed.
Regards
Titel: Re: SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1 released
Beitrag von: jackjavo am 05 Mai, 2014, 13:31
I imagine your galaxy s2 doesn't have problems playing HD files local? If so it  could be a player problem or perhaps still some stream buffering UDP specific problem from smartdvb's (you don't see lost packets or buffer overflows at tools > settings > udp I presume, but even if you don't sending udp packets can behave erratically sometimes) side or coupled to your local network/router, you're also not using multicast I presume? (which could lead to more issues with wrongly configured routers or routers that simply don't support multicast, but probably not otherwise you wouldn't even see SD video).
Titel: Re: SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1 released
Beitrag von: dada am 05 Mai, 2014, 14:16
The S2 has no problems playing back HD video locally (or via DLNA). SD streams pose no problem. HD streams sometimes start ok but start detereorating within ~ 10 seconds. Buffer overruns are frequent with HD. Increase of buffer size reduces the number of overruns but has no effect on the quality  of the video on the S2. Did not try multicast. Activation of udp transcoding did not have any effect.
I tried HTTP streaming but did not get any activity in the "bandwidth" bar. I must be doing something wrong there.
Before I forget: My multiple HD PIP windows problem was obviously solved by the option to enable timeshift for PIP. When I disable this option the problem returns!
Titel: Re: SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1 released
Beitrag von: jackjavo am 05 Mai, 2014, 20:42
Ok dada, i'll try to see if something might not be optimal with the udp code perhaps on somewhat slower systems. DLNA might be other forms of streaming (maybe even http streaming in some situations, but also other, probably not UDP). You don't see bandwith with http settings because it's waiting for connections, unlike udp it doesn't start streaming until a client connects first. So it's probably ok, you just need to enter the http url at some client to access the stream, after which the bandwidth usage should update too.
Are the pip symptoms exactly the same as with timeshift? I'll check what might be different here, it's not that the video stops/freezes is it? Might be some timing/delay problem with larger bandwidths there..

Activation of udp transcoding did not have any effect
Btw about this remark, do you mean you see video on the device with udp transcoding enabled, but still have buffer overruns or video detereoration? Would be odd if the latter would be a device problem now since the default bandwith there is set to something like 900kbps (is it about that with u?) which should be less than SD so the bottleneck could or should not be there then. Might be the transcoding in your situation is just too slow, dunno? You can also generate ffmpeg reports (some ffmpeg*.txt files will be created in your application data folder with this settings, don't forget to turn that option off again) and see what ffmpeg tells you (in case you have no video at all with transcoding enabled)..

Beitrag von: dada am 05 Mai, 2014, 23:08
About timeshift with HD PIP: with timeshift for PIP disabled the display in the HD windows is choppy and distorted but not stalled, with timeshift enabled it is perfect with even 4 windows open.
"Btw about this remark, do you mean you see video on the device with udp transcoding enabled, but still have buffer overruns or video detereoration?" Yes, for the HD situation. The bandwith limitation is not reflected in the bandwidth bar. It shows about 3-4Mbit/s for the normal SD situation but the same when transcoding is enabled.
I'll generate ffmeg reports!
Thanks for the HTTP info, did not check that :embarassed:
Regards
Titel: Re: SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1 released
Beitrag von: jackjavo am 06 Mai, 2014, 00:17
ok i'll send you some test versions with regards to that PIP problem (i might have noticed something, but i didn't see the detereoration but i did see too high cpu usage compared to with timeshift so this might do something for u, presuming high cpu usage results in bad video for u).
The UDP bandwidth still showing 3-4 mbit would be ok, it shows the actual processed data there from inside the app, which before would be the same as outputted, but not now if transcoding is enabled. Did you try increasing the udp buffer (to 600 KB for example?), and do you still see buffer overruns there, otherwise it would be logical that the transcoded stream is also broken if data is still being lost at the send side.
Titel: Re: SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1 released
Beitrag von: dada am 06 Mai, 2014, 01:03
yes, i did increase the buffer size to 500 kb which eliminated buffer overruns but did not improve the video quality on the client.

Hi

Just wanted to inform on preliminary results of testing 04.xx beta on my system:

- loosing/freezing frames is reduced heavily in the beta. It occurs now mainly if you use menu commands during stream (e.g.
  setting recording time).

- UDP streaming to my Android 4.3 device (60 MBit/s) did first not work at all though having an elaborated install advice from dada
  (thx dada  :) ). Only after inserting the @ before the IP adress in VLCbeta for Android (and in the VPlayer) the network stream
  was received. Unfortunately, the stream appeared mostly as a green tapestry with some artefact picture in the top lines of the IPS panel
  even after an increase of the buffer to 500 KB.

- No other problems seen until now besides the UDP.

Thx for the beta

Hi ritschibie,

Good to hear from you again, were you vacation?

So is it somewhat acceptable now the freeze issue? Also, some time ago you mentioned, if i recall correctly, your records through ci were also broken sometimes. I wonder if this also might have been related to those timeshift issues.

Looks like i'll have to do some more testing with the UDP streaming :). Btw 60 MBit/s sounds like your're streaming the entire transport stream, are you able to see something when streaming single stations or still just mummification artefacts? I'd also like to see if your android device fares better with HTTP streaming, since i was under the impression this might/could work better on more devices. Besides that i use HTTP also to control server/client modes etc.

no problem,
JackJavo

Titel: Re: SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1 released
Beitrag von: ritschibie am 06 Mai, 2014, 23:21
Yeah Jack, had lots of vacation last 4 month  :)

The freeze issue is more than acceptable it practically vanished with the beta! What you should look at is that whenever a menue command is clicked soon afterwards (at least on my system) I get a frame issue be it SD or HD stream. Maybe you can verify that? With frame loss at practically zero I get excellent recordings  :)

My tablet is an Asus TF700 ( http://eee.asus.com/en/transformer-infinity/features ) Infinity Pad with (still) up to date specs. Of course I tried to set up a HTTP streaming but did not succeed yet. Must work on this. The 60 MBit/s related to the max WLan speed from the tablet to the WLan router.
Maybe someone here already succeeded in putting up the HTTP stream and gives a little install help?

All the best
Ritschie

I created ffmpeg logs for transcoded UDP streaming: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6iwiz959bzscnn5/ffmpeg-20140506-233552.log
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5l4ogh5qt2doq40/ffmpeg-20140506-233550.log
Having trouble to get HTTP streaming going although I think I know what I am doing  :-\
However, I installed the test version in "testsmartdvb" (in "program files")  to not corrupt 0.3.5. Could this be the reason why clients can't show the stream? I tried the ts version with /smartdvb.ts appended.
Titel: Re: SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1 released
Beitrag von: jackjavo am 07 Mai, 2014, 01:37
@rischibie: I cannot really recreate that here locally (the fame loss when selecting menu commands, but i'll look at it closer tomorrow, getting late here now)..
@dada: thanks for the ffmpeg logs, first one seems reasonable, i'll need to check it better tomorrow. Second one is small and doesn't seem to process any input, was it tuned to a working frequency/station at that moment? Might be that for some reason your system has problems with ffmpeg, could be performance related, but not sure.
With regards to the HTTP streaming, what are your settings in tools > settings > http streaming? The host/port entered there should be the one from the machine where you are streaming the HTTP stream, so contrary to UDP you don't enter the address from the receiving side (client). You should also be able to access the normal /smartdvb http stream (without the .TS), i've had reports that that worked better with android for some user. Also, about your HD problems, might also be that the transport stream format simply isn't well liked by android and it's clients, it's not the best suported or well liked format on windows players either i know from that past. Maybe for android some better transcode alternative might be looked at (there's also the .FLV transcode at this moment, although that was more setup for the webinterface in the future, not with android at mind). I'm talking about the container format that's send beit with UDP or HTTP, this is the same DVB ts format, but through transcode could be modified to other types ofcourse perhaps better suited for streaming to android devices. I'm not much into android to be honest so i would have to investigate that some.

Late here i'll get back to this tomorrow :)
best regards and thanks for the testing, all the best to you too btw Ritschibie!.

something else I remembered which I thought I might mention. Some other user reported being able to stream to an old android device, using http/transocoding (latter necessary for hd for him), with the mxplayer though, so might be worth a try too, or you might even have that player installed too perhaps (either of you).
goodnight :).
edit: I read what this user wrote. He did set the audio bitrate to 64k (instead of the 128k it's set to now) and also the resolution to -s 320x200 (you might need to preplace/remove the %resolution% ffmpeg command line parameter), this might be a more android compatible screen size (I saw you asking about ffmpeg cmd line parameters in the shout dada). Btw I'm thinking it might be a good idea to add some kind of profiles or presets for this because not all people will want or like to mess with ffmpeg cmd line.
edit2: also specifically related to UDP streaming, I read somewhere others had more success with a player called GoodPlayer on Android. But like mentioned previously this is not a natively supported streaming option on android so one would expect this might be more problematic on more android devices.
edit3: dada, also about HTTP streaming, when you first setup this did you get the message that you needed to register the interfaces by running smartdvb with administrator privileges at least once? (this is required by the used http API, to register/bind the entered http address on your machine, should only be needed one time after the registration is done the app can be run normally again without admin privileges)..
Titel: Re: SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1 released
Beitrag von: jackjavo am 08 Mai, 2014, 15:59
dada: did you have more luck with the HTTP streaming (btw is this perhaps also with transcoding enabled or disabled?).

Btw i don't think the seperate 0.3.5 installation could hamper other installations, smartdvb is setup quite portable (only exception being if you use application data folder, but that's just config .ini data)

Also about http streaming when you look at the smartdvb.log do you see lines like:

>Streamer listening for requests on the following url: http://192.168.0.102:8080/smartdvb/
>15:48:42 - 760630 : Streamer listening for requests on the following url: http://192.168.0.102:8080/smartdvb/

this would indicate the streamer initialized correctly and is waiting for connections.

Also about the ffmpeg reports, i had some time now to investigate that, i think it might simply be timing related. The option '-analyzeduration 2000000' gives ffmpeg 2 seconds to analyze the stream, no problem with my i5 but your leverage may vary of course :), so try increasing this option to 20000000 or even higher, or simply remove it ffmpeg waits for quite long time by default. I tried to reduce init times as much as possible ofcourse to spead up the streaming. This also might be made somewhat easier by adding some additional config for this too (slow system, medium system, high speed system etc etc).
The second almost empty ffmpeg log would indicate this would be the problem on your system with regards to transcoding, which seems logical ofcourse :)

Hi. The not-working HTTP streaming was a firewall problem of the host PC, although I had enabled access to Smart in the list. Turning it off entirely solved all problems with streaming to another PC or android device. The firewall had blocked access to the stream.
Yes, I saw that you implemented 2 sec for stream analysis but have not tested this yet. However I reduced audio to 64 but did not see any difference in the Bandwidths. Analysis time is a good point because transcoding occasionally seemed to work, I''test that.
Titel: Re: SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1 released
Beitrag von: jackjavo am 09 Mai, 2014, 21:39
Hi. Ohh ok :) Of course when streaming you always need have firewalls at mind (beit software or hardware). I honestly didn't think of that in your situation because you mentioned that UDP streaming worked ok, normally from my limited experience btw, firewalls have more trouble with passing UDP packets through on strange ports. I chose HTTP mainly because there should be less problems when using the HTTP protocol in combination with firewalls since mostly these are setup to allow such traffic due to browsers etc. Might be though that the firewall has problems with the odd port HTTP requests (usually port 80 is used for HTTP requests/responses).
Btw your record transcode issues you mentioned through pm might also be -analyzeduration related, worth a try also :). Thanks for the extremely extensive tests you've done, also good to know everything works on older xp system (haven't done much tests with xp myself lately). So even HD works better with Android with HTTP? That's how i would have expected it, since that protocol seems to be natively supported by most android systems, they should be able to handle that better. And did you end up using the MX player or VLC? I did some tests myself and the VLC beta's  i tried seem to have problem with transport streams, which windows VLC play without problems..
edit: btw also transport stream should be supported quite well by android (3.0+), natively even, so i was kinda mistaken above. So unless you have a very old Android OS on your device .TS streams support should be ok. And even those older versions could run .TS with the right player, just no native android support, it all depends on the software too of course. Also audio bandwith is usually not comparable to video bandwidth and thus you should be able to stream audio only in quite a good quality..
Titel: Re: SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1 released
Beitrag von: dada am 09 Mai, 2014, 22:36
you are right. I did not suspect the firewall because UDP worked ok and I had the setup right, or so I thought. On android device (JB 4.1.2) the vplayer seemed to work best but the MXplayer or the VLC beta also performed and also HD was no problem except the buffer problem on the client which I have not looked at thoroughly. And also yes, the ts stream worked very well on my android device. I did not use (purposely) port 80 but several other ones which should not have been blocked by the firewall. I'll try the transcoding records with increased analysis times and report!

@dada: ok i'll await futher reports :). Btw about the HTTP HD streaming, is that with and without transcoding? You didn't have stream problems streaming full hd without transcoding concerning fluent video? I would expect this to also work btw especially on local LAN, bandwidth should be more than sufficient.
@dh: i think this is a known and hopefully fixed issue with the current beta, i'll send you a pm about this..

streaming HD video worked fine with (ts) and without transcoding on PC and android, I only had some buffer problems on the client side. The clients seemed to be waiting for signal. I will have to look at that further. Video quality was very good but was all local lan or wlan.

I did some more tests.
1. A correction with respect to my PIP HD window problem. PIP timeshift needs to be enabled. When this is turned off, the HD windows stutter. General timeshift for the main can be turned off, sorry for the first report, i had overlooked the PIP timeshift was still on.
2. I looked at transcoded recordings again after having set all analysis times to 4 sec. I tested with and without timeshift but found no difference in the results. I did 1 min recordings. ts 44 MB, all o k; mpg 45 MB, all ok; wmv 77 MB, all ok; mp4 9 MB, "unknown media type" no player will do; avi 55 MB, all ok; mkv 0 MB, no go.

If it would be of help for you I could generate logs and send them.

hi, ok i'll recheck the non timeshift pip code, like previously i don't have this (it does occur with you on every  HD channel you watch with PIP, no exceptions? Also if you look at the smartdvb.log after such stutter do you see something about 'buffer overflows' perhaps?

About the transcode recordings, 4 seconds still might be too quick, try at least 20 or remove the entire -analyzeduration parameter (by default ffmpeg wait much longer than 4 seconds too). If it still doesn't work then some ffmpeg.log's could give me some clues as to what's happening, but first try a much longer analyze duration..

Here are the results: With PIP timeshift off the main difference I can see in the log is like this:

15:06:40 - 52385 : WRONG CONTINUITY CHECK cc=2, lastcc=15 (error count 251)
15:06:50 - 62291 : WRONG CONTINUITY CHECK cc=15, lastcc=10 (error count 502)
15:07:00 - 72353 : WRONG CONTINUITY CHECK cc=1, lastcc=12 (error count 753)
15:07:04 - 76190 : Checksecheader failed for EIT pid 0x12 3d
15:07:09 - 81104 : Checksecheader failed for EIT pid 0x12 20
15:07:11 - 83351 : WRONG CONTINUITY CHECK cc=6, lastcc=14 (error count 1004)

For the recording I first increased analyzeduration to 15 sec and then deleted the parameter entirely. No change compared to my previous report. mkv results in a 0 bytes file and mp4 in too small a file which is not opened. It looked to me that that analyzeduration is ffmpeg internally limited to a max of 5 sec when I understand the log correctly. The logs are attached.

@dada: thanks for the ffmpeg logs. I've looked at the record problems you have and made some changes (issues seem mostly timing related, which would figure considering your system config, compared to mine). By the way, the mp4 transcode won't work on XP systems, just a note, it's not related to your problems I think since you don't use XP for these tests. Still not sure about the non timeshift issue you have, that log fragment isn't odd, discontinuity error can be common especially at or around channel switches. Next update is a little bit delayed due to some wonderful weather we had here in the Netherlands this week. From what I read in the shout here now and then you there are more blessed with good weather for time already compared to us dutchies, but then again this is nothing new of course :).

Hi Jack, sorry for the delay!
transcoded recordings report. I used your standard settings in the last version you sent.
1. SD streams: wmv, mpg, avi, mkv function properly, mp4 is strange in that it stops recording after about 40 % of the time one actually recorded the stream. So if one records like 100 sec. the resulting file is about 40 sec. And it is not the content that is compressed to 40 sec but the recording does only show the first 40 sec of what was intended to be recorded. A 15 min recording yield a file that shows only the first ~ 4 min. Funny, but these were all manual recordings, not scheduled.
2. HD 1280x720 streams: avi and mkv were correct, wmv, mp4, and mpg yielded only truncated files as detailed above.
3. HD 1920x1088 streams: o bytes files for wmv and mp4, truncated file for mpg, correect recording avi and mkv.
I guess these are ffmpeg problems. Will look at the logs to find out what is going on there and will also try scheduled recordings to see if there would be any difference.
Regards!

Hi Jack,

I'm back with testing SmartDvb 4.x beta. I interrupted this "business" coz a few weeks ago I changed my videocard: from the USB-Box to a PCIe device. I went for a dual tuner card: the "TSB 6991".

Smart had no problem recognizing the dual tuning device showing tuners A & B under "Florian" as well as under "BDA". With tuner A I scanned Hotbird with tuner B I scanned Astra. No problem here I got the usual amount of channels with Hotbird and Astra.

The problem starts when changing the sat going from "RAI 1" to "das Erste HD" f.e.. To get that done I have to change in the "device" menue the tuner (from A to B). Sometimes this even leads to a system crash (rarely) sometimes I have to restart and initiate the desired tuner to get the channel. Is there a "smarter" way to get a channel change from hotbird to astra on a dual tuner card?

Next problem is the CI/CAM recognition. The TBS has a dual CI system onboard. The CI works under "TBSViewer" and "DVBViewer" (5.3) when the "TBSClapi.dll" is in the root directory of the "TBSViewer" or "DVBViewer". I used this driver in the root directory of SmartDvb but with or without the dll the program is unable to recognize the CI. Any guess why?

Sorry for the problemsbut I think from the widespread SmartDvb users somebody might also have a dual tuning system and there are already some valuable workarounds out there!

Hi ritschibie,

You should be able to select a specific tuner A or B for astra or hotbird however you require at the frequency list dialog settings. See the picture.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51980102/frequencies.png)

Use 'select device' to select a specific device to be used for a specific frequency list. If setup SmarDVB should switch automatically when selecting a station from such a list. So barring bugs this would be the best method to use atm.

About the TBSClapi.dll. TBS ci support should be there, even for your specific dual tuner device, although i don't recall specific feedback about that so still might be some issue. You should make sure though that the TBSClapi.DLL is placed at the same devices folder where BDA.DEV recides so not at the application main path like those other apps you mention.

@dada: i still need to see if i'm able to resolve some of your ffmpeg/record problems. It might be difficult though since the record methods that fail for  u seem to be exactly those record methods that do actual transcoding of the stream from sd -> h264 etc (those that do simple copy transcodes which are very efficient seem to succeed with you, except for the MP4 which seems to work errractic anyhow). So it might simply be that your processor/pc doesn't have enough computing power to transcode these types of stream in real-time, which is what's at least needed of course, which might also account for the odd recordings you have as a result, ffmpeg simply cannot keep up transcoding the provided real-time data. It's not always possible to increase ffmpeg transcode speed/efficiency enough to solve all these problems i think, but some might be solveable especially when it concerns the ffmpeg h.264 encoding which does have some parameters to increase transcode efficiency by giving up some of the output quality, so it would result in lesser recording quality probably.

Hi Jack,

Your advice concerning the specific device list for a frequency did not change the behaviour of SmartDVB with the tuner change. I deleted  all selected frequencies and reselected the hotbird and astra frequencies as you mentionned. The outcome is that after a sat change (from hotbird to astra and viceversa) the change occurs but the picture is quitted with a program crash. Maybe it has someting to do with the lnb settings I have the one in the annex.

As far as the CI is concerned it won't work. I have the TBSClapi.dll under "devices" and not in the smartdvb root.

Beitrag von: jackjavo am 11 Juni, 2014, 20:46
Hi Ritschibie,

I don't think the sat change problem you're having is diseqc settings related (especially since you don't even seem to have special diseqc settings selected). What happens when switching is that the previous device is stopped/restarted, might be the problem's related to the fact that the same device is stopped/restarted (but only with a different tuner selected). Interested to know if this also occurs with 0.3.5 since there are some, miner, changes to bda.dev. You could also see if perhaps this problem doesn't occur when using bdas.dev, if bdas.dev doesn't fail it's probably a bda.dev related problem. Were you able to send a crash report, and if so about what time/date did you send it (would aid me in finding the correct report, or you could mail/send such a report directly to me of course).

With regards to the CI. Could you check if the selected device type (tools > devce settings) is set to  'new tbs interfaces', if I recall correctly TBS ci only is selected with this device type selection. If this device type works well for u and is not the default selected one send me a bda.log i'll make sure the new interfaces are selected by default for such devices. Also if these interfaces still fail you could send me a bda.log after some failed ci calls.

Hi Jack,
thanks for your answer! Looking at the sum of problems I had with transcoded recordings I also came to the conclusion that my old and slow hardware should cause the problems. My plan was anyway to rejuvenate my system in fall and then I will see what happens. Some transcodings work so there is no real problem here.
Another funny problem I noticed recently which might also be system related was with scheduled recordings. Sometimes, when recordings start, video starts stuttering (the redord also) and I have to close smart and restart. No problems though with manual recordings.

As I frequently had prog aborts after reconfiguring smartdvb (I removed bdas, selected Florian as device config and used the TBS Quad/Dual config), I sent you today at 10:34 again a crash report (June 12, 10:34). Sorry, have to leave home so cannot experiment more with smartdvb but I'll back in the afternoon to continue working at this.

BTW, smart seems to recognise my card as TBS 6991 because I can read it when using the device settings in the "Frequency" list.

Hi,

No problem ritschibie. If it ever looked as if i don't care it might have had to do with the 'personal' issues i mentioned some time ago which at times overwhelmed me emotionally too much. I seem to have a better handle of this atm, even though the situation's still the same. You cannot change the world of course like some mentioned at that time, but you can define how you handle, comport and recover yourself even in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity. Getting emotional in general doesn't help one move forward imho, but i'm glad i still have emotions at least lol.

I'm sending you a test build with regards to those crash reports you send, i think the problem was located in bda.dev. Another report i saw from you seemed related to bdas.dev, but you shouldn't be using that anyhow, stick to bda.dev especially with regards to the CI functionality. Also did you make sure you selected 'new tbs interfaces' for your tbs device, otherwise TBS CI would never work (bdas.dev definitely has no CI support included).

regards and enjoy the summer,
Jack

Hi Jack,

Good to read that some of your problems with the "neighborhood" get a more relaxed handling by your goodself! Somtimes a bit of flexibility and less sensitivity are better than getting into jungle fights. In terms of energy saving maybe much better  ;)

Bad news from the Dual Tuner front. I installed your beta, scanned on tuner A Hotbird and on tuner B Astra. No problems. I made sure that the device settings were as outlined in your post. Then I selected "das Erste HD" and had a good picture. But changing to "RTL II" brought the crash (and every program change thereafter). Note that the program change is successfull but only for 2 seconds or so. The picture freezes and the screen shows the "crash" message. Strange that I get no notification to send a crash report.

The only good news is that I could get the CI working. But only with the TBSClapi.dll in the device underdirectory.

Hope that I do not overcharge you with this Dual Tuner issue.

Thx
Ritschie

Hi Ritschibie,

No problem, in the past i must have had debug sessions like this (with remote users so to speak) like a zillion times. The name of the game here is perseverance.

This doesn't sound like the dual tuner switch problem you had before, since the problem occurs when switching to a different station on the same sat/frequency list. So i presume selecting devices etc now works ok now for u?

Did the crash start after you enabled the CI (and copied your TBSCIApi.dll to devices?)?. Could be the exception is from there since it must be from somewhere outside of the debug scope of the application hence some external module (could also be some codec/plugin related problem if one analyzes it like that). Btw the app comes with a pre-installed TBSCIApi.dll, if i remember correctly from other testers some TBSCIApi.dll's worked worse compared to others, so maybe it would be best if you tried the original supplied with the installed instead of a copy with some different version then the supplied default by SmartDVB. Could be i'm wrong and this is totally unrelated to the CI, but otherwise i would expect a crash report.

Did you do a clean install or upgrade from previous beta/version? This test does have some modification/additions to the DS connection menu so i cannot rule out some other issue, maybe codec related.

Here's a link to the default .DLL in case you deleted, overwrote that:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51980102/TbsCIapi.dll

edit: btw if this keeps failing without a crash report possibility, a smartdvb.log/bda.log after such crash might give useful information (but not necessarily though :()

Hi Jack,
after more tests now my conclusion:
I used the beta 2 you sent for testing. The HEVC version gave somewhat better results but no major difference to what I reported previously with respect to transcoded recordings. Going through the many ffmpeg logs (which all showed proper functioning of ffmpeg) I found that whenever a real transcoding was required (like for mp4, wmv, or mpg) my CPU gave up (up to 100% load) and the recordings were too short. When frames were only copied the recordings were fine. So it is definitely not a Smart problem but a deficency of CPU power of my PC...which will be changed in a couple of months, hopefully.  :)

Beitrag von: jackjavo am 20 Juni, 2014, 10:25
Hi,

Ok good to know. It's a bit disappointing that your Athlon has so much problems with real-time transcoding, doesn't seem the slowest system also. I tested this on i5 myself which obviously is enough. There are many ffmpeg builds with different optimizations on the net, I used some well known distribution. I'll do some searching to see if there might be some build which might run faster on your system. This also means that you won't be able to transcode when streaming of course, since there true transcoding is always needed.
I'll make sure to add some comments about this in the documentation/help file so other users who encounter this don't bump their heads against a wall.
Testing hevc with the current codecs won't do you much good either btw, you need at least an i7 with  the current, non optimized immature, codecs for fluent results with all streams. But it's just a matter of time for HEVC hardware acceleration combined with quality codecs to solve this, to me it looks like a deja vu when comparing this with HD some years ago.
Anyone else here with capable enough systems want to look at HEVC atm?

i presume you have a french windows version hence that message. I'm not sure if it's even smartdvb related ('grid index out of range' or something alike). I read that some people got such messages from external apps like screensavers? If the message totally random or is there some logic as to when it appears (if you click or perform some action somewhere before tuning the first time, after which you mention it dissapears, do you see it more often or consistent after some click or whatever action?). Otherwise it's a difficult guessing game for me.

SmartDVB 0.4.0 RC

Whats new: >>

    Added:
        timeout message for scheduled action start (30 seconds default value) added to schedule settings dialog
        chroma subsampling (4:2:0, 4:2:2 etc) to the additional video status, needs testing
        end time to add schedule task dialog (by requests)
        EIT event description on the main epg pane is now also shown in the edit field
        blindscanner option to disable retries when no data is received
        option to diseqc settings to not show 'positioner moving ...' message when moving a positioner/rotor
        basic RF scanner. Only works with streamreader.dll supported devices so don't try this otherwise won't work. Might be removed for final version if it causes too many issues. Added for testing/feedback

    Improved:
        osd timeshift button states (ff/play/pause didn't always update button state correctly)
        smartosd transparency slider settings is more verbose now (seemed unclear to some)
        EPG ampersand "&" would be incorrectly translated to underscore at some places
        some modifications to blindscan.dev to enable it to tune dvb-t/c (dvb-t tested)
        streamreader.dll to current 1.2.0.1202 version

    Fixed:
        record all audio PID's for transport stream recordings moved to record settings dialog and should now also be used for normal manual recordings (previously it only worked for scheduled recordings)
        pressing the 'play'/'pause' keys now toggles play/paused state, previously it would remain at the chosen state
        timeshift pause did not work correctly (introduced bug). Some modifcations to timeshift code with regards to this
        some addons interface calls modified (DoDiseqc doesn't require the full channel data but instead uses the transponder and satellite structures, which is more appropriate not all channel data is needed by this call, this might break existing addons, but since there aren't many yet i figured it wouldn't be much of a problem If you have build an addon you'll need to rebuild with the current addon example headers to be sure)
        some setup changes. If you had undefined problems with upgrades previously please try again.
        by default dvb-t offset settings are not used (too many users seem to have issues with this). Added an option to the scanner dialog to specifically enable offset addition to the currently scanned dvb-t frequency.
        scanner bugfix where MIS values would not be shown correctly with a sort selected/active
        bug which could occasionally cause a crash when using the diseqc console

Tray icon record state would not always correctly indicate recording on/off
Issue where channel icons would not be shown correctly when SID's were shown in the channellist (only for service name based icons)
Some modifications to bda.dev tbs and autodetection code, might detect specific tbs devices (also tbs 6983) better now (thanks to steven)
Some more fixes to scanner MIS parsing (thanks to alexi)
RF Scanner resource strings added (for translations)
MIS scan scanner (bda.dev) bug which could select the wrong mis when scanning (thanks once more to alexi)
Sometimes a scheduled record would use the wrong EIT entry
Some cosmetic changes to record name defaults
Updated streamreader.dll to 1.2.2.1260

Highlight: UHD Channels working with HEVC Decoder support in 0.4.0

Unfortunatly my hardware is too old/slow. I get 1-2 fps on "Astra Ultra HD Demo" or "SES UHD Demo Channel", but the pictures are very clear and sharp. Processor load went up to 98 %. I don't have 4k Equipment, only 1920x1200 resolution. But it is great to see that it would work at all (and probably with new hardware).  :jo

I used LAV Filters 0.63 for HEVC decoding. Setting Hardware Acceleration for my Geforce 450 gts with actual NVIDIA driver doesn't make any difference on the framerate or CPU load.

don't worry they are on my todo list but could not make the 0.4.0 release that's all (at some moment during release no more features should be added, even trivial ones). About the duplictes, could you post examples of some channels which seem duplicate (it's been verified by some people known with dvb that there are no true duplicates at this moment). THe sid, tid, nid combination should identify a channel uniquely within a satellite. But this is not how it is atm, duplicate sid, tid, nid exist but are different channels on different frequencies, so these cannot be removed just like that. Or a channel can have the same name and be the same channel, on a different frequency with the same sid,tid,nid, but essentially is not really a duplicate that's detectable by it's id.

Diese Version habe ich jetzt ziemlich intensiv getestet, funktioniert sehr gut. Alle Probleme, die ich bisher hatte, sind nicht mehr da. Sehr empfehlenswert, selbst UHD funktioniert endlich sauber.

Changelog

-Added support for external splitters, including LAV Splitter support. Please note that LAV Splitter support is experimental and initial connection is slow compared to the default splitter (SmartAVSrc). So if you care most about tuning speed, and not so much about picture quality, do not use the LAV Splitter
-Added windowed EPG viewer
-Better support for 4:2:2, including 4k and 8k
-Added EVR-CP (Custom Presenter) video renderer, with support for HDR and external shaders. Including support for rendered subtitles (DVB/Teletext Subtitles)and exclusive fullscreen mode.
-improved 4:2:2 support (LAV Splitter in combination with the LAV Video Decoder plays 4:2:2 quite well)
-improved 4k and 8k support
-MDAPI improvements/enhancements (including x64 build fixes)
-Extended zooming support dialog. Zoom settings can be saved per channel.
-Improved MadVR support (also works well with the LAV Splitter)
-Support for external multiplexers (including Microsoft MPEG2 demux, Elecard demux, Mainconcept demux etc)
-Graph performance settings (experimental, leave the default settings if you don't really know what you're doing here)
-Blindscan.dev improvements/fixes, added blindscan.dev device settings to set the defualt blindscan.dev tuning method.
