I just want to say that your my hero

think this may be some sort of issue where the file initially buffers to ram before it writes to disk? Just a thought...

I.

The problem that you guys are having now appears to be related to the FileSize of the target mpeg file. It appears that the FileSize doesn't grow to a size that SageTV will play for about 6-8 seconds after a successful channel change. In fact for a large percentage of that time the FileSize is actually 0 bytes. I'm not sure if this a problem in the Plugin or in MT. Can you please manually record some channels in MT and check how long it takes the byte count in the MT main window to increment? Also, are you using any other plugins in conjunction with this plugin?

Also, from Insomiac's file there was a channel change that wouldn't stick. In this instance, from the new DVB-S log output it would appear that MT had problems changing to the channel that was playing the West Virgina vs Virginia Tech football game. MT appeared to go through the motions of channel changing by making multiple DISEQ will change/has changed calls and then sending a Channel will change event. But no actual Channel has changed event was ever sent by MT. This would appear to be a bug in MT or a problem with that particular channels configuration. Could you check that you can pick up and record this channel from within MT natively?

In the meantime I will work on a test build of the plugin that writes out the actual number of bytes that the plugin has written as they're sent by MT. It will flood your logs, but at least I will be able to determine whether the problem is in the plugin logic or MT.

Cheers

Peter

From looking at my own logs using the test plugin, MT starts ending data to the plugin when it has captured 2048 bytes. But the GET_FILE_SIZE SageTV command from the plugin doesn't return anything other than 0 until the file size is @129024 bytes . So I think there may a small problem in that part of the plugin code

Can anyone else verify similar findings with their setups?

Cheers

Peter

As such, it would appear that the plugin does return the correct value for the GET_FILE_SIZE SageTV command.

From your logs, it appears that MT takes 3 seconds to change channels and a further 3 seconds to start sending data to the plugin. However, SageTV doesn't appear to issue a GET_FILE_SIZE request for 8-9 seconds after the original Channel Change request. This appears to be consistent for the requests in the log ( except where it SageTV issues GET_FILE_SIZE straight after the START command and then waits a further 8 seconds to issue a GET_FILE_SIZE) - Hence the extra delay in playback.

Can you please check what the value of videoframe/network_encoding_to_playback_delay is set to in your sage.properties file? I've set this value to 3000 in my rig ( I had it set to 7000 whilst testing the plugin ) and the channel changes became somewhat 'snappier'. You may want to experiment with this value to see if it makes any difference to you.

Update : The default value for network_encoding_to_playback_delay specified for SageTV V3.0.11 is 1500

Cheers

Peter

I dont have this setting in my sage.properties presently. Question: would I want to set this at my clients, server, or both?

I.

The short answer is that I don't know - I don't know whether it is the client or the server that is issuing GET_FILE_SIZE commands.

From the SageTV manual all the other videoframe entries seem to be related to the UI - So I guess the client would be a good place to start!

Cheers

Peter

tried 1500 on my client, but havent really noticed any improvement. Ill keep an eye on it though.

Presently I have 2 dvb-s cards. One on the local server and the other on a networked machine. I have been trying to see if there is any differences in speed between the 2 as well. Ill let you know when I actually have some constructive feedback to give

I.

Nice work peterjb!

I have it up and running using SageTV v2.2 and myTheatre 3.31. Hardware is Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C and Comhem as provider.

There is only one problem with one Pay per view channel. If I start Sage and go right to it, it works fine. But if I change to any other channel the aspect ratio gets screwed up and sometimes Sage crashes. If I however choose close file and then switch to another channel it works fine. Also if I change from any other channel to this ppv channel I get the same twisted picture.
All channels work perfectly from myTheatre. I use Intervideos MPEG decoder in both programs.
Seen anything like it?

Vuego,

I haven't seen this problem before. Are the mpegs that were captured by the plugin when this occurred playable via WinDVD outside of SageTV?

Cheers

Having difficulty with MT plug in

Hi Peter,

This seems to be a great plug in. I am new to Sage and MT. I am having a couple of issues getting your plug in to work with MT. I can put MT plug in in test mode and it does make a usable video file in the video dir under sage.

My problem, after starting MT I run sage, setup the config and when I select a channel I get black pic and no sound. I have gone in manually and changed type under channels to 1 from what they said before.

Here is a copy of my two log files. I know I am doing something really stupid. If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it. btw I am running a 102G Card DVB-S.

Thank You,

You've found two bugs - One in the Plugin and one in SageTV. The bug in the plugin was that the fact that the MT channel dataset is empty when you try and change channels but nothing is logged in the logfile. This error was however logged at plugin startup:

10/11/2005 1:43:50 AM: ERROR - No MT Channels defined for Favourite : SageTV

The SageTV bug is that even though I send a nice error message back to SageTV using the Network Encoder protocol:

Sent 10/11/2005 1:44:32 AM: ERROR Unable to change to Channel :102 - Refer to Plugin Log File<EOL>

SageTV doesn't display it and carries on as if the channel change was successful. I submitted this as a bug ages ago, but the response was that the message can't be displayed due to national language issues ( Doh! ) No explanation was provided for why SageTV then carries on as if nothing went wrong. I'll submit this as a bug again - but it would help if other people did as well and it might get fixed


Can you check the SageTV Favourites in MT? With the version of the DLL, available from http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/show...6&postcount=53 Type should no longer have to be changed in the MT database

Cheers

Peter

My channel.mdb file

Please find attached channels.mdb. It is my usable database for the twinhan 102g with My theature. 119 on disq 2 and 110 on disq 1.

Configured for Peter's excellent plug in encoder already with all channels in favorite group 15.

I received a response from SageTV Support regarding my bug submission for Error handling from the network encoder protocol used by the plugin. The issue will be addressed as part of SageTV 3.1 But they didn't say when that would be .

Cheers

Peter

slow channel changes

Peter;

I have read the threads regarding this, it is taking approx 10 sec to change channels. do you have any other suggestions that I might try to make them a bit speedier?

Thanks,

RJ

I would like to see yout Indy & SageTV log files when you use the DLL from post http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/show...2&postcount=60. This will show when MT starts sending data to the plugin and when SageTV starts to play it. Please attach the log files rather than pasting them in your post - the plugin's one will be quite large.

Cheers

Peter

Dual Tuner

Ok this plug in is great! but , I can't seem to get the Sage TV 2.28 to record two shows at once with this network encoder pluging for MT.

I have Sage switching MT channels fine, I can watch and record.

I also have a PVR250 setup that tunes to my local cable and it works fine.

When I schedule 2 shows at once I get a conflict even though both shows are on separate tuners. I also can not manually record 2 shows at once on the separate tunners.

I have Sage 2.28 installed on one PC with the PVR250 (tuned to local cable)and a Twinhand 102G DVB-S card tuned to DISH 110/119 EPG working it as well!

Do I need Sage Recorder or somthing else to use this network encoder?

Any help would let my wife record Desparate Houswives and Me record ROME on HBO at the same time!!!

Thanks

Technazz

you need to remove the duplicate channels from your dish lineup that you want to tune on analog cable. Sage does not handle duplicate channels well. The good thing is that you can leave the east coast lineup in tact and not have issues.

I have your same setup, but more capture cards and one extra DVB card. Been through that issue quite a few times..
