[linux-dvb] Not able to view HD-TV via Technisat Skystar HD 2

[linux-dvb] Not able to view HD-TV via Technisat Skystar HD 2

[Hartmut]

Hi,

since 3 days I have a Technisat Skystar HD 2 in my Computer (PCI-card).
OS is Opensuse 11.0 (kernel 2.6.25) without vdr but with Kaffeine as
frontend. I installed the multiproto-mantis driver and got the card
working, so I can watch dvb-s with Kaffeine. But: not dvb-s2! Perhaps I
got the wrong version of scan, but scan works (scan -a 1 -x 0 -t 1
/usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E > ~/.szap/channels.conf), but does not
find any s2-channels. I tried some versions of dvb-utils and patches,
but none were done by make and I have no clue, where to get the right
versions of both. I've read about some options which could be given to
the modules, but I don't know which and how, the card starts (only now
by hand) with modprobe mantis and both the STB-modules come up too.
(Attention: there ist a dvb-t-reciever too which makes adapter0, see lsmod))

[linux-dvb] Not able to view HD-TV via Technisat Skystar HD 2

[Hartmut]

Hi,

> since 3 days I have a Technisat Skystar HD 2 in my Computer (PCI-card) 

was my mail some days ago. My fault: I installed the multiproto-driver,
cause I read this:

>  Mantis/S2API driver
> 
> This is the preferred driver. DVB-S2 support in the Linux kernel is provided by API version 5.0, also known as S2API (and not multiproto). This API was released in kernel version 2.6.28

So I thought, I can only use this driver, if I use a kernel 2.6.28 which
I do not and so I installed the multiproto-driver with part-success. But
I read further and further and found out, that I was wrong. So yesterday
I installed the S2API-driver with some more success. Channel-switching
is very fast now and scan-s2 finds the hd-channels. I can even zap to a
hd-channel, but viewing is the problem:

szap-output to a "normal" channel:

status 1f | signal   0% | snr   0% | ber 0 | unc -2 | FE_HAS_LOCK
(and so on)

mplayer-output for this channel:

If I start mplayer with mplayer -vc +ffh264 I get the same output

Only ffplay can play the channel:

2 seconds staggering and
after another 5 seconds my free memory (about 500M) is full and I have
to kill ffplay

I have several HD-TV.ts-files which are played very well with all
applications, so in  my opinion the videooutput is not ok.

Any advices?

Hartmut

PS: Opensuse 11.0 on AMD64, everything updated to the newest ...
