TV Jukebox

[zofer]

I have downloaded and used the play method of the DavidBox as described in the API documentation. I did it with a direct link instead of compiling it to be a flash component.

I got the same results. I took times: 45 seconds to connect and start play the DVB stream. I am not familiar with the internals, but I doubt if using this command from a flash container will produce better results.

I have finally managed to try this with flash application. As I suspected, the delay in starting to watch the live feed is roughly the same. I have measured 35 seconds.

The bright side is that with flash application we can reduce the number of clicks to a minimum when changing channels. I am going to try this.

I will also try to use dvbstream and play the stream from network instead from the device file directly. Maybe it will make a difference and reduce the time to start playing live content.

Hi all,

I have done some nice flash application to replace the html UI for selecting channels. I have also added the feature to view EPG data, if available.

Anyone interested in source code and/or details, post here or contact me directly. I have it compiled for 200 series, but it is easy enough to compile for the 100 series.

It still has the annoying delay of 30-45 seconds, but it has less clicks.

All the best.

It's possible make streaming from USB TV tunner? Or has uPnP support? To allow swithc channel from another PC?

I tried, but so far with limited success. There are dvbstream and dvblast applications that should do this, but I never managed to complete migration, proper build and operation.

Switching channel is done by writing directly to the driver. It can be done using a proxy. I think dvblast offers this capability.

Why do you want to do that? If you want to watch the stream on a PC or laptop, you should not put it on the PCH.

Hi all,

I've managed to compile the modules for the USB stick AverTV Volar HD Pro (A835) and everything seems to load correctly:

The problem I'm facing is that the tv_scan can't find any channels:

tv_scan v0.01
=============

adapter = 0
frontend = 0
demux = 0
channel_list = channels.xml
scan = 1
frequency = 754000000
tune = 0
lcn = 1
service_id = ffffffff
service_name =


tuning to: 754000000 ...
status 00 | signal 0% | snr 0% | ber 0 | unc 0 |
status 00 | signal 0% | snr 0% | ber 0 | unc 0 |
status 00 | signal 0% | snr 0% | ber 0 | unc 0 |
...
...

and it keeps there forever...

I can't find where I'm doing it wrong...

EDIT: Problem was this!



Thanks

EDIT: Solved the tv_scan problem. Compiled the tuner module and now I can scan and tune.

IT WORKS!!!

Thanks everyone!



EDIT2:
Looks like the pch-a110 can't decode the audio from the stream. Anyone have any suggestion?
(Portuguese DVB-T / mpeg4)

The audio is supposed to be AAC. Shoudn't the pch decode it?

EDIT3:
Audio is AAC HE which seem that pch-a110 can't decode... too bad...


PS: PCH-A110 here
I can share the compiled modules if anyone needs.

Please do!

Note that the NMT Wiki can host binaries too;

I think it's changed so that users on this board can login with the same credentials on the NMT Wiki too.

so, where are the compiled drivers then?

If you have a compatible model of pch and dvb stick, you can ask someone to send you. Otherwise, you need to take the long road and compile it yourself. There is no central place to download the drivers from.

Can you share with us the drivers that you already compiled?
I have a dib0700 based tuner, I supposed you have compiled the drivers for this one, right?

Hi,

It's been a long time since I didn't come to the forum.

With the frustration of the a110 not being able to play aac-he audio and being a pain to switch channels, I ended up buying a new box with dvb-t + dvb-s2 that I also use as media player now (azbox premium hd+).

What suprises me is that this azbox has the same* sigma chip and plays aac-he perfectly...

Anyway, I've found a package which I think it is the modules I compiled back then.

*same = smp8634(azbox) vs smp8635(pch-a110) which means same sh*t - according to this brochure (http://www.sigmadesigns.com/uploads/docu...30_br.pdf) the only difference is that the smp8635(pch-a110) is a non-macrovision version. In summary, I just don't understand why the a110 doesn't support aac-he (I guess the a110 developers didn't bother about it )
