BlindScan & 3D Support

Postby DonKhaial » Fri May 04, 2012 3:53 pm

I am hoping that if the next version of dvb-dream will supports 3d channels and BlindScan for the transponders that will be fantastic :idea:

The TeVii S471 also supports blind scan, I would also like this feature. In fact anything new would be nice, ProgDVB is making me jealous :D

Personally I think 3D is now a thing of the past and would never catch on in its present form.

I think, Rel will be interested in this info.
There is a way to add Blindscan feature to DVBDream, using existing CrazyCat's streamreader with Blindscan support. CrazyCat wrote it 2 years ago, and there was many updates since. So now streamreader supports many DVB-S and DVB-S2 card, based on demodulators STV0288, STV0903, STV0900, TMAX TS2100, DS3000/3002/3103, Zarlink ZL10313/Intel CE6313. The full list of supported DVB cards is here: http://sourceforge.net/p/crazyscan/wiki/Home/ (the list will be expanded further with new blindscan-capable hardware).
CrazyCat released streamreader as free, and give permisson (confirmed on forums) to any interested programmers to use it in software. Streamreader already used in EasyBlindScan, SmartDVB, SatSpectr, ProgDVB programs. Rel, you can use it too for free in DVBDream :). You can create special device module, which will use functions of streamreader.dll file: http://crazycat69.narod.ru/sattelite/St ... Ex-BDA.rar
All the necessary info for programmers described in SDK: http://crazycat69.narod.ru/sattelite/St ... Ex-SDK.rar
Also there is source code (in SDK) of few programs, which uses streamreader.dll library.
If you have a sample of Omicom S2 rev.3 card, then you can use the driver with internal support of hardware blindscan:
http://crazycat69.narod.ru/sattelite/wi ... _525_0.zip (released driver)
http://crazycat69.narod.ru/sattelite/wi ... -debug.rar (test/debug driver)
Here is SDK for Omicom's driver: http://crazycat69.narod.ru/sattelite/wip/omcbda-sdk.zip

I think, the best way is to make special BDA module with blindscan support, so if that module used, then Blindscan option will be active in DVBDream in channel search dialog, else this option will be disabled.
Rel, what do you think?
If you have any questions, please ask.

A cool feature after scanning would be to update the transponder.ini file to remove the empty ones and add the NIT ones. This could be an option in the scan window. Thanks!

Yea CrazyCat does great job there. However, I currently have very limited time and we don't prefer to use device interface libraries which are not DD's own property. But we could support anyone who is interested in writing a 3rd party device interface for DVB Dream. DD device interface has blind scan functions ( thought for TBS devices), GUI is not implemented yet in DVB Dream, but soon to be there.

Just noticed, some links in my last post were cutted. Already corrected.
The driver for Omicom S2 card is new, with build-in new BlindScan extensions. Blindscan realised inside driver, see Omicom SDK - http://crazycat69.narod.ru/sattelite/wip/omcbda-sdk.zip

Shame for manufacturers. If you need Blindscan, ask them provide interfaces for Blindscan. None of them seem to provide. (Only TBS provided an experimental interface for their tuners but it doesn't work well unfortunately) DD won't be using any other 3rd party library like crazyscan's etc, due to possible license problems.

eh?

So, you've gone back on this:
Yea CrazyCat does great job there. However, I currently have very limited time and we don't prefer to use device interface libraries which are not DD's own property. But we could support anyone who is interested in writing a 3rd party device interface for DVB Dream. DD device interface has blind scan functions ( thought for TBS devices), GUI is not implemented yet in DVB Dream, but soon to be there.
So, when you say soon to be there, you mean never?!

Why tell us a feature is going to be added when it isn't?
