So is the GUI in the Dongle?  If so is there any way to get the source to it?  Maybe me and a buddy of mine can take a look at it for other odds and ends that maybe we can help with.  He is a programmer type. 

I have updated my channels.conf found some duplicate entries, probably when I have scanned before and didn't offset my channels etc, so it is much smaller now but still definately above 500 hehe. 

Anything I can do to help, let me know, thank you so much for looking into it.  I take it the GUI code is part of the Dongle?

Obviously the easy fix would be to hand edit the channels.conf and remove all channels I don't get in the first place, but that for one is a complete pain, and for others obviously too that just do a channel scan to get their channels.conf they will obviously have more channels than they pick up also.  So ideally fixing this is the better solution.  I am sorry that ya have to go to extra work hehe.  But really do appreciate it.

That is it.  I set it the way you originally had it patched and removed all but the 1st 200 channels, and it works now.  So where are you setting the buffer size?

Well I can easily test that, by removing lots of channels from the list.  Will let ya know.

[if (!channel->GroupSep() && !channel->Ca(1))]

Well I don't get all of them!   I just have a basic subscription.  But they are in the channel scan.

I have made progress, but again not a programmer, so don't know what exactly it is doing.  For starters, according to the log, it is seeing all the channels in the channels.conf, but just not displaying them on the client.  But by setting the statement to:

if (!channel->GroupSep() && !channel->Ca(1))

I can get channels that have only 1 CAID in them.  But it still won't pick up channels that have multiple.  I have tried setting it to 2 etc but with no luck.  Dunno if that helps you any or not. 

Removed since all is fixed now.

Yes mine is NTSC, and LiveTV did work before I got you to start changing just for me!   It just wasn't showing any of the CA channels.  On outputs, I assume that maybe PAL is different?  But it has the standard Composite Video Output, and also SVideo Output.  I for testing purposes am only using the Composite, haven't tried SVideo yet, but I wanna say in options that it was available.  Will be happy to test it at lunch for you.  And has the standard Left/Right RCA Audio Outputs.  No S/PDIF or Optical bah!  

And you are the one to thank, there is no reason for you to pursue this being as it is your time and it works fine as is for you!  So thank you for working so hard to make it function for others.

I don't know if it will help, as I said I am no programmer, just know how to manipulate and work with the code, but is there a way to compare how the original MediaMVP Plugin handles things or the standalone MVPServer does it?  They do give me the full channel list no problem.  And even have Mplayer implementation.  But not worried bout that till I get the other working.  But by far your plugin handles channel changes etc the best, more seamlessly like the Streamdev-Client does.  And the GUI on top of that is just the bomb!  I look forward to once getting this functioning properly that hopefully it can sync the guide or something too. 

Thanks again, I have made the patches and created a patch so that I can reverse it or fix it again if I redownload CVS from the changes you pointed out.  And will be going home for lunch probably in about an hour or so and will test it out.

Definately no programmer, but very adept to patching and working with code!   So I will do this when I go home for lunch and let you know what happens.  I create patches all the time for others!   You can say I am the VDR Wiki for North America!

Thanks again for the help, and will be happy to do anything I can for you on this.

Just tell me what ya need from me and I will provide.  I appreciate the help from both of you!

Just wanted to itterate again, how much I appreciate the efforts for just 1 person having this issue!  That is awesome support!  Will keep my eyes open for the next CVS and let you know!

Would love to try, but not sure how to go about it.  How can I force VOMP to go to a specific channel if I can't get a channel list from it?  Now I can't even get that.  I used to get the list of channels available just none of my CA channels.  Is there a way I can try forcing it to a certain channel?  Before your fixes I got the list and tried manually tuning VOMP to a channel but no luck.  Since latest changes I get just a black screen when I do Live TV instead of the channel list.  Thanks again for your efforts. 

I truly appreciate the efforts in trying to solve my issue.  If I am the only one with the issue then by all means don't go to lots of trouble, I just figured surely more people use it as such but I guess not.  Being as both the MVPServer and the MediaMVP plugin both work with it I can just use them, I just preferred yours.  So thank you kindly for the efforts.  I just updated, and now when I click Live TV it just goes to a black screen.  I will clear my previous plugin and reget all together, all I saw it update was the mvpclient.c  So maybe there is more.  Thanks again for all the effort.

That is correct.  I use my VDR for my subbed receiver due to its pvr capabilities.  I was just hoping to be able to use the MVP as a secondary device.  The other servers function with it, they just aren't as nice looking in GUI as VOMP and also for their streaming technique you have to back out of your streamed channel and choose another as where VOMP you can just punch the Channel # in or channel up or down.  It acts more like a true Streamdev Client.  I assumed VOMP could do this.  Since nobody else is using it as such it might not be the case.  I appreciate the hash out on trying to figure it out.  Maybe there will be more interest in VOMP for others that use VDR as their main receivers and we can figure out a way to accomplish this.

Thanks again for all your assistance.

I don't get disruption on channels just recordings, and yes every recording I play it does it in.
