Unable to scan for channels - DVB

[Dutch]

Hi

 

Could anyone point me in the right direction as I seem to have hit a brick wall with trying to scan for channels.

 

I've got a Skystar2 PCI card on a Mandriva 2005LE box. The modules are loaded and Linuxtv is installed. An 'szap' command gives the FE_HAS_LOCK message, so it seems the driver is OK.

 

The problem is when I scan giving the below command

 

./scan dvb-s/ Astra-19.2E>channels.conf

 

...all I get is this

 

[root@localhost scan]# ./scan dvb-s/ Astra-19.2E>channels.conf

scanning dvb-s/

using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

ERROR: initial tuning failed

dumping lists (0 services)

Done.

 

The details for Astra are as supplied in the original Linuxtv tar file -

# Astra 19.2E SDT info service transponder

# freq pol sr fec

S 12551500 V 22000000 5/6

 

(BTW its a direct connection to the card - no diseqc.)

 

Any help would be appreciated.

By installing a dvbapps rpm and using that to scan for channels (rather than the download tar file)I've now been able to scan two satellites and created a channels.conf file.

 

My problem now is that xine cannot find a dvb plugin to handle any channel, even though the latest libxine is installed.

 

I then tried installing vdr but got this: -

[root@localhost vdr-1.2.6]# make

g++ -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -c -DREMOTE_KBD -DREMOTE_ -D_GNU_SOURCE -DVIDEODIR=\"/video\" -DPLUGINDIR=\"./PLUGINS/lib\" -I../DVB/include channels.c

In file included from channels.h:13,

from channels.c:10:

config.h: In member function `bool cConfig<T>::Save()':

config.h:140: error: there are no arguments to `First' that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of `First'must be available

config.h:140: error: (if you use `-fpermissive', G++ will accept your code, but allowing the use of an undeclared name is deprecated)

make: *** [channels.o] Error 1

 

1 step forward - two back!

 

Any help appreciated!

It says here there is a newer version. Try that.

Got a lot further this time but ended up with this error message

 

make: *** No rule to make target `jpeglib.h', needed by `dvbdevice.o'. Stop.

 

I've installed an rpm which contains jpeglib.h but still no joy.....any thoughts?

 

Thanks
