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..

ok, I'll try your suggestions. I tested different HD station (different modes) and all had the same problem. I did not check the log, will do that too!

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.


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.

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.

Just started a few minutes ago smartdvb and it crashed sending you the report, so: date should be june 12 and 00:28 hours for the report. Sry Jack to abuse you for such an exotic system as a dual tuner card and thank you so much about caring!

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.

Thx

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
