It takes more time to parse channels, but it should find the other channels. Yes, tried this also, but no success either.

Debug info presented ba caffeine in the diagnostic window
kaffeine finds only some transponders on Astra 19.3E. For example the
stations on 10744 Mhz (Phoenix, arte, tagesschau24, all SD) are omitted.
Many other channels are ok. The DVB-Card /Skystar2) is ok, runs in an
Windows environment in same machine. Manual entry of the channels isn't
possible, because the Audio-PID-field is not editable. Same Problem with
version 2.0.14.
The diagnostic window of kaffeine is in the appeded file
Did you try to enable "Other NIT" options at Kaffeine scan popup window?
It takes more time to parse channels, but it should find the other channels.

(In reply to peter9999 from comment #0) > The diagnostic window of kaffeine is in the appeded file Hmm... frequency: 10758,50 MHz is out of LNBf range It means that either the LNBf you selected is not right or that you hit a bug at libdvbv5. Please check if your LNBf is properly set. If so, what libdvbv5/v4l-utils are you using? I recommend using the latest upstream version (1.14.2), but, if you're using an older version, you need at least version 1.12.3, as several issues at LNBf settings were backported to it.

The LNB is ok. I use version 1.12.5-1 of lidvbv5. (In reply to peter9999 from comment #5) > The LNB is ok. I use version 1.12.5-1 of lidvbv5. I'll try to reproduce the bug here with my RF generator.

Also, what LNBf are you using? For Astra 1E, you can't use the Universal one, as it doesn't support Astra frequency ranges. You need to setup it to either EXTENDED or ENHANCED. The EXTENDED LNBf is a variant of Universal LNBfs, designed to also support the Astra 1E ranges. The LNB works fine. I am sure, because it works with all the
frequencies in our home. And I use the same DVB-card in the same
computer in an Windows7-Environment with the DVBViewer without any
problem.

I'll try to reproduce the bug here with my RF generator. Could you attach
the settings you're using for your DVB settings here? It is located at:
~/.local/share/kaffeine/config.dvb
From your logs, it is missing channels at 10758,50 MHz, 10788,00 MHz and
10743,75 MHz. Any other transponders are missing?
Also, what LNBf are you using? For Astra 1E, you can't use the Universal one,

(In reply to peter9999 from comment #8) > lnb=UNIVERSAL That is the problem. The frequency range for UNIVERSAL LNBf is: Universal, Europe Freqs : 10800 to 11800 MHz, LO: 9750 MHz Freqs : 11600 to 12700 MHz, LO: 10600 MHz With corresponds to the older Universal LNBfs, with don't support frequency ranges between 10.7 to 10.8GHz, and whose max frequency is 12.7GHz. The frequency range for EXTENDED is: EXTENDED Astra 1E, European Universal Ku (extended) Freqs : 10700 to 11700 MHz, LO: 9750 MHz Freqs : 11700 to 12750 MHz, LO: 10600 MHz It has an extra 100 MHz range at low frequencies, between 10.7GHz and 10.8GHz, and an extra 50 MHz range at high frequencies, between 12.7GHz and 12.75 GHz. If you change your LNBf to Extended, Kaffeine should be able to get the other transponders. That was the problem! Works now perfect, thank you!
Why can´t I change the channels data manually? It is not possible,
because the Audio-PID field is greyed out. An in the json-database
there is an undocumented "blob"-field. Tried some modifications, but
it didn´t work.

That is the problem. The frequency range for UNIVERSAL LNBf is:
Universal, Europe
Freqs : 10800 to 11800 MHz, LO: 9750 MHz
Freqs : 11600 to 12700 MHz, LO: 10600 MHz
With corresponds to the older Universal LNBfs, with don't support frequency
ranges between 10.7 to 10.8GHz, and whose max frequency is 12.7GHz.
The frequency range for EXTENDED is:
EXTENDED
Astra 1E, European Universal Ku (extended)
Freqs : 10700 to 11700 MHz, LO: 9750 MHz
Freqs : 11700 to 12750 MHz, LO: 10600 MHz
It has an extra 100 MHz range at low frequencies, between 10.7GHz and 10.8GHz,
and an extra 50 MHz range at high frequencies, between 12.7GHz and 12.75 GHz.
If you change your LNBf to Extended, Kaffeine should be able to get the other
transponders.

I did what Mauro suggested and, yes, there were more transponders. BUT: (1.) The list still isn't complete, e. g. there only ten radio stations as before. (2.) I can hear no sound from the radio stations, or it has many interruptions. I am especially interested in the german public radio stations as NDR, MDR, WDR, BR, HR and so on. *** Bug 398075 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Could you please test with Kaffeine 2.0.17? I found a bug there with could be affecting channel scanning: https://cgit.kde.org/kaffeine.git/commit/?id=7960208dad913d331ffdd6a129bfdc935337a4e5 |
