[vlc] Re: DVB-S tuning problems

[Alexander Abraham]

So i tried it, but i saw, that tuning with the spin arrows is very
annoying, so i will let the spin arrows rest in peace. :D

But i had a look into the verbose output from vlc. The frequency, srate,
fec, voltage are the right one to tune in.

Could it also be a dvb driver problem or a dvb frontend release problem?

I tried this...
vlc -vvv --color dvb: --dvb-frequency=10832000 --dvb-srate=22000000
--dvb-voltage=18 --dvb-fec 5 --dvb-satno 2 &> vlc,tuning,07.11.2005.txt

After opening the playlist and tuning to transponder...
#EXTINF:0,Viacom, MTV
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-frequency=11739000
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-srate=27500000
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-voltage=13
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-fec 3
#EXTVLCOPT:dvb-satno 2

... the following happens in the debug output...

The first thing i thought is, that the signal is to weak. But under
Windows the signal is shown with over 90percent, also the signal to
noise ratio. There is no tuning problem.

My hair turns grey...
