Trouble with DVB-T2 on frontend 1
by Marko Mäkelä 03 Jan '22

Hi all, I recently got a USB adapter "Astrometa DVB-T2" that I would like to use with VDR. It comprises two frontends: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0: Realtek RTL2832 (DVB-T) /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1: Panasonic MN88473 (DVB-T2 and DVB-C) I guess it is similar to this one; just a slightly different plastic case with some more ventilation holes: http://blog.palosaari.fi/2014/09/naked-hardware-18-astrometa-amdvb-t2-v2.ht… The hardware appears to work fine, once I copied the /lib/firmware/… [View More]

The changes since version 2.4.4: - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed handling newline characters in ci.c's CopyString() (reported by Winfried Köhler). - Fixed checking the return value of the Open() call in cFileName::SetOffset() (reported by Winfried Köhler). - Fixed a possible invalid lock sequence in cMenuTimers::OnOff(). - Fixed several typos (reported by Jens Schleusener). - Implemented anti-aliasing for cPixmap::DrawSlope() and cPixmap::DrawEllipse() (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). The version numbers (both VDRVERSNUM and APIVERSNUM) have been bumped to 2.4.5 to indicate this change. - Fixed alignment of semi-circles in case of odd sizes. - Increased the size of the TS buffer to 16MB, to have more reserve when recording several HD programmes. - Added checking the symbol rate to cDvbTuner::IsTunedTo(), which apparently got lost in version 1.7.13 (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Now checking for an empty command in cDvbTuner::GetSignalStats() to avoid a possible error message (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Now initializing the status variable in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() and cDvbTuner::GetSignalStats() to avoid problems with drivers that don't do this (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed multiple recording entries in case a recording is started during the initial reading of the video directory (reported by Claus Muus). - Fixed an unnecessary double call to Display() in cMenuRecording::RefreshRecording() (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed a crash in case an error occurs when setting a remote timer. - Fixed allocating memory for cImage (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed parsing the '-l' command line option (reported by Harald Milz). - Fixed possible compilation errors with libjpeg (thanks to Bernd Kuhls). - Fixed "read incomplete section" errors (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed generating the HashId in cEIT::cEIT() (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Added initialization of cDvbFrontend::frontendInfo (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Fixed a bug in handling shared PMTs, where after the first pass not all SIDs of a PMT pid were checked any more (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed PMT handling in case locking the Channels list times out (reported by Helmut Binder). - Avoiding a lengthy lock on the Channels list when starting a recording (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed error handling when loading a plugin (reported by Markus Ehrnsperger). - Improved handling missing VDRPluginDestroyer() (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Fixed initializing tmpbuf in ExtendedEventDescriptors::getText() (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed a compiler warning (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Fixed convertCharacterTable() in case iconv_open() fails (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Official release.
