But there should also be video, audio and videotext PIDs somewhere, I think. I wonder where are they, then. Maybe they are negotiated somehow on the fly? Btw. how do you select the desired audio channel on Arte, if it is sending in German and french? My dvb_pids table is empty and therefore I assumed THIS is the reason why I am not able to receive anything. Well, maybe the problem is somewhere else... Also the data in the mplex table is correct for Das ersteI have 3 skystar 2 cards, one in rev 3 and two in rev 6. Have you checkt the dvb functionality in an other program like Kaffeine??? Sure. Not in Kaffeine, but I have mplayer installed which shows all FTA channels without problems, I am using channels.conf file gathered by dvbscan. So all the drivers are up and running properly. What kernel are you using?? I use 2.6.11, the skystar module was rewrittenin 2.6.13 I've heard (don't know exactly, but it has a new name in thatkernel!) I am using 2.6.12 but as I said I think this is not the reason. I think this is not a dvb problem, maybe a rights problem?? Yes, that's the question. I will further investigate it. Start thebackend with a higher verbose level I will. Thanks a lot for hints. Bob ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Only a reboot fixed theproblem then, restarting myth does not.

I will try to increase the backend verbosity level. In your case I would also try to unload the DVB related modules and load them again with rmmod and modprobe (if they are not compiled in the kernel), before the reboot. I will see how it will work for me... If you need a db-dump, write an email. I will provide you a complete db ofmy production box. Could you please send me your complete mythconverg db dump on my email? I just want to be sure that my problems are not caused by wrong database data. Btw., is your dvb_pids table empty as well? The channel table contains only service IDs. Don't you know where are the video, audio and videotext PIDs saved? But I will see it from your db dump... Thank you!

Hi John,On 9/20/05, John Pullan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Daft question, but do you have your initial channel to tune to set tosomething appropriate e.g 28106 for Das Erste ? Bingo! This is a goog question! Stupid me... Actualy I tried to set the initial channel before, but the mythbackend was running, i.e. the new value was not set/applied after this change (and I didn't notice it). Now I did it again - stopped the mythbackend, changed the initial channel, started mythbackend, started mythfrontend - and it works! Finally I will sleep well tonight :o) Now I can see that it is not so difficult to set the whole system, but there is a lot of confusing things like empty unused tables (dvb_channel, dvb_pids), useless debug messages (DVB#0 ERROR - No PIDS set, please correct your channel setup.) etc., which misguided me to the wrong way. But on the other hand, it's for free :) Thanks everybody helping me in this thread!!!

...). I will probably try some older versions of mythtv, maybe the 18.1 and the SVN snapshot has really broken DVB-S scan functionality. Thank you.

September 2005 00:46 An: mythtv-users@mythtv.org Betreff: [mythtv-users] DVB-S channel scan problem with 18.1, Astra 19.2,skystar2 Hi, I just installed MythTV on my Gentoo desktop with skystar2 DVB-S card pointed to Astra 19.2E. The broadcast reception works fine with mplayer. But I have problems with channel scanning in mythtv. During the scan the channels and dtv_multiplex tables in mythconverg are filled, but dvb_channel and dvb_pids are empty. Following error message is shown on the command line: QMYSQLResult::data: column 3 out of range I also tried the SVN snapshot with similar result (here the dvb_channel and dvb_pids tables are not present at all). I tried to use the import feature and the channels.conf file prepared with dvbscan, but it didn't work either - probably because of the incompatible format. I have several questions now: 1) Does anybody have mythtv 0.18.1 + DVB-S card (skystar2?) with a working scan feature? 2) Does anybody know how to import channels.conf into mythtv? Apparently there are some switches that affect the file format... 3) Could somebody provide me with the current mythconverg database dump of the Astra 19.2E? 4) Is there any older version of mythtv able to scan channels with the skystar2 DVB-S card?
