- BroadLogic Device 1.041 beta for ProgDVB
- 07.08.03
- By Step
- SteppinRazor00@hotmail.com
-
- This is a beta version, please give feedback.
- For best results use ProgDVB 4.21+
-
- I'm planning on adding switch support in a later version, so if you have a BL card and a
- sw21 (or other 13v/18v switch, sw64 etc...), or DiSEqC switch (I doubt I can add support for these),
- and you have multiple dishes, mail me.
-
- requirements:
- - BroadLogic 2030 or 1030 card with drivers, may work on other card models, let me know if it does.
- - A relatively fast computer depending on what you want to recieve.
-
- installation:
- - unzip to ProgDVB\Modules\
- - Start ProgDVB, go to Settings > Device List, select "BroadLogic", and click Start
-
- notes:
- - won't show up in device list unless you have the broadlogic drivers installed correctly.
- - drivers can be downloaded from http://vbox.to/drivers
- - Very little error handling, so try not to have errors.
- - Playback might not be 100% perfect, still working on it
- - Some channels work better than others
- - if you change buffer settings, use multiples of 188 for buffer sizes
-
- to recieve multiple channels on same transponder using same card:
-
- 1. Go to Device Options, and uncheck "Enable Query Signal Strength". You won't be able to view signal
- strength, but the BroadLogic card hates it when more than one app is polling the status. Also,
- full satellite scanning won't work right with SSQEnabled=0 (Transponder scan still works fine)
- 2. change the ProgDVB commandline to "ProgDVB.exe /debug /copy", you don't *need* /debug, but it
- helps by showing how many PIDs are active in Debug > Filer Manager
- (note that this only shows how many PIDs are active for the current instance of ProgDVB however)
- 3. Run first copy of ProgDVB, select a channel
- 4. Run another copy of ProgDVB, select a channel on same transponder
- (you won't be able to change frequency with this copy)
- 5. The BroadLogic 2030 can only filter 8 PIDs at one time total, disable EPG module to free up a PID filter,
- Other plugins may use other PIDs, you can see what's using what under Debug > Filter Manager.
- 6. You can run additional copies and view more channels as long as you don't run out of PID filters.
- (8 PIDs is a big limitation...)
-
- 1.041b changes (07.08.03)
- - fixed "won't re-tune unless it needs to" bug
- - will now correctly set LOF2
-
- 1.04b changes (07.07.03)
- - added support for Low/High lnb settings. Will send 22khz tone and use LOF2 if LNB type is set to Ku,
- Switch is nonzero, and Frequency > Switch.
- - can now set seperate card buffer settings for video, audio, and other PIDs
- - added options dialog
- - fixed tunedelay bug
- - faster channel switching on same transponder (won't re-tune unless it needs to)
-
- 1.031b changes (06.23.03)
- - fixed very small bug, oops
-
- 1.03b changes
- - added ini support
- - added support for multiple BroadLogic cards in the same computer
- (let me know how/if this works, I only have one card to test)
- - added support for recieving multiple channels on same transponder using same card
- - other things added to ini file, play around ;)
- - shaved 8k off device size (now 12k, still mostly padding)
- - other misc fixes
