ScanMan

... so here it is: Version 1.06

I tried to speed it up a little bit so that there should be no more stuttering on 'normal' programms.
DVB-S2 seems to have a little prob with displaying an synchronising video and audio. This is a prob of DD - this didnt depent on the interface.

Also some cards (Hauppauge NOVA-S2) won't tune to DVB-S2 programms.
There must be a special handling to tune those cards and i havn't any clue/info yet...

So everybody can try out this version and let me know the millions of other bugs Embarassed

ScanMan

To the ADMINS: please make the download available here - no upload possible for me.... I will post it under TESTERS.

DD not running. Copied two new files to DD Devices folder. Started DD, went to Options --> Device, selected new ScanMan driver, hit Start, OK, then exited DD. Upon restart of DD, I am suddenly looking at my computer BIOS's powerup self test. Shocked

Am I doing something wrong, or is this just W2K which is otherwise ultra stable and runs for weeks without a problem? I seem to be the only tester around here with this symptom. Possibly the last holdout on W2K in NA.

My BDA_ALL.LOG has (other than comments) only four lines in it:

[MAIN]
CreateLog=Yes
AddGraphToROT=YES
LoadTHCIParser=NO

I do note some initial errors from BDA.LOG:

[09/29/07 16:30:13 : 2875] IOCTL Error: THBDA_IOCTL_SET_REG_PARAMS failed!
[09/29/07 16:30:13 : 2875] THBDA_IOCTL_SET_REG_PARAMS_Fun() does not work on this device.

It then says Lock failed! and goes on with about 30 lines of DeviceGetList() commands. Then that file ends also.

I tried this with my New Twinhan Mantis AD-SP 400 card and it doesn't work at all. Driver loads ok no errors Actually I do see signal strength and quality when I scan but it doesn't find any channels even on first port. I also tried it with my Twinhan 1027 card that has no improvement over regular drivers already in DD. I can watch TV and I can scan the first port on my disqec swith which is a very nice CHIETA switch which works perfectly in mt.

What are the Raw commands for all four ports on Disqec Switch? I only see one in the program which I assume is for port 1
E0 31 6B 01

but what about the other 3 ports how do I send those commands?

Also which channels are DVB-S2 channels?

I'm using disqec 1.0-2.0 lof 11250000 sw 11700000 lof 11250000 and have sats on

port1=82
port2=91
port3=110
port4=119

Tested with my Artec T14BR usb dvb-t device. Seems to be working otherwise ok, but signal Level reported at the bottom of the mainscreen stays at 0%. Quality is 100%.

If you use a RAW command, do the DISEQC parameteres such as LOF1,2 and LOF SW change?
I am using 11250000,0,11250000 right now and can't the DISEQC to switch birds with the raw command.

Thanks

Some people reported a crash when DD (1.3 and 1.4) starts without any BDA-Driver/-Hardware installed.
I can reproduce this error and fixed the prob. Please try/test latest version 1.07 in attachment.

If somebody's looking at the LOG and it will report any errors like
- THBDA_IOCTL_SET_REG_PARAMS failed!
- THBDA_IOCTL_SET_REG_PARAMS_Fun() does not work on this device.
- ... or any other notice begins with THBDA_...
this behavior belongs to the type of driver used with the TH.
This is a 'test' and is only needfull if there's a TH with CI is installed.
Driver will work quite normal and this has NO AFFECT in normal using !

If you are using TH and have a MultiSwitch / MonoBlock or any other DiSEqC-Switches it is neccessary to tick 'Always send DiSEqC' with a repitition-rate of min. 1 !
Otherwise adequate information will not reach the card !

Users with special switches have to try Un-/commited setup in DiSEqC.

An other prob here with my TH 1041 / AD-SP 400:
The actual driver 1.0.5.9 is extremly slow - startup takes several seconds - also switching channels on different TPs.
With rel's BDA-Native-Interface the card will not be recognized first time - it needs to be started manualy every time... Can somebody confirm this behavior ?

Confused

ScanMan

EDIT:
There's a prob having both BDA-Native and BDA_ALL started at the same time in V 1.4 and maybe switching between them. End's up in a crash and/or DD couldn't be cloed anyway.
Seems to be fixed also with this release ! I don't have probs anymore...

ScanMan, thanks for BDA_ALL. Works here (StarBox 7021A) without a scratch, switching the ports of a diseqc switch. Will try to perform some tests with BDA_ALL and a motorised dish a bit later.
