Dutch Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 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!

devries Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 http://vdr.bluox.org/download/index.php?path=VDR/ It says here there is a newer version. Try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
