Hello



I am running knoppmyth R5A26. I have a 4 way diseqc switch.

LNB1 is astra 19.2 LNB2 is astra 28.2 and LNB3 is hotbird 13.0.

If I run mythsetup I am not able to scan channels at LNB 2 & 3.

I tried with a Technotrend Budget and a KNC1 satellite card.

If I bypass the diseqc switch I am able to scan the channels.



I searched the user list and I found the following.

DVB, Diseqc and scan



At the end of this discusion Johan had found a solution.

Does this bug still exist in knoppmyth R5A26?

RE: Diseqc Switching still not working? [In reply to]

It's not really a bug. It seems all DiSEqC equipment behaves differently.
I've had to fiddle with the diseqc code quite a bit in order to get my
configuration working properly.



To answer your question, that bit of code exists on SVN so it probably
exists in KnoppMyth as well.

Ok but how do other programmers cope with this problem. I have used lots of
other program's (under windows) and never experienced these problems before.

I installed knoppmyth R5A30 now. But diseqc is still not working.

Actually, I think it is a bug as some backward compatible diseqc will
interpret the Tone burst signal and always reset it to A position. If you
want, try my rotor patch. I fixed it there as I understand is the correct way
to send a command.

oh, and make sure to use rev3 of the patch. Please report if it works or not.

Thanx

I don't know much about knoppmyth, but if I recall correctly it's a LiveCD so
I don't think there is a way to patch it. If you used a standard distro, you
can do patch -p0 < the_patch from the folder containg the downloaded sources

It is a live CD, but if you install it, you can grab the sources and
compile your own version (As I have done, a few times).

It is only a live cd when you want to run a frontend at some PC without
installing it.
The rest of the options are complete installs. (which I did) so I must be
able to apply the patch.(well maybe I am not able to apply the patch but
that will be not the faul off knoppmyth)
Can you please tell me exactly what to do. Do I have to rebuild or compile
afterwards?

Thanks I advance

Wim

Again, I know nothing about knoppmyth, I don't know if the sources are
installed when you install knoppmyth or not, but here is how you would
typically do it on any distro.

1) you need the source code for myth. If it's not already included when you
install knoppmyth, you can download the stable version from mythtv.org, or if
you want the lates unstable version, you can donwload it using subversion
(svn.mythtv.org). All the instructions are at
http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall

2) Once, you have the sources, you can patch them with any patches available
that you think may be usefull, like the diseqc patch. (instructions were in
the last email)

3) ou can run ./configure --help to get a list of available options first,
then you run "./configure [options] && qmake modulename && make && make
install". I'm not sure how knopmyth sets the path and where it installs to so
you don't end up with two copies of myth on your system. You may want to
check with them as to what is the right way of doing it.
