Post subject:  DVB-S Radio

In NZ we have a number of radio stations that heve feeds to the satellite where I get my DVB-S Freeview TV channels. In knoppmyth (R5F27) the sound never comes up. I just get a black screen (which is OK as there is no video PID), but the lack of audio makes it worthless :-)

It works fine in mythbuntu 7.10 (used as a livecd with knoppmyth as the back end).

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Post subject:  Same here!

I seem to have the very same problem. I am running Knoppmyth R5.5.

My Hardware is a PCChips Mobo with an AMD Geode NX1750 CPU and 768 MBytes of RAM.

The graphics card is an Nvidia FX5200 and the TV card is a Skystar 2.

Connected is a Switch with two LNBs (Astra 19° and Astra 28°). Everything else works fine, i.e. TV reception is no problem with both sats.

I also tried to play radio via mplayer (e.g. mplayer dvb://"BBC R2") and this also works without troubles. So I think it is not a problem with HW, signal strength or drivers.

But in mythtv I get a black screen and a partial lock message (with LmS). I believe this is a mythbackend problem, because in the mythbackend.log I get these weird errors:

It would seem that the backend somehow interprets the data as video stream.

Can anyone steer me towards how to narrow the problem down any further?

Re you trying to play back the audio over spdif? My digital spdif system won't play it, I guess because of a funny bitrate or something. It plays over analogue just fine.

Ah that's a different problem then. I don't hear anything, even via analog out (but I do get sound during liveTV or video playback).

Didn't try SPDIF out.
