Hi
My name is Gianluca Bruni, I am from Italy (Prato)
I am a C++ programmer on Windows platforms.
I developed from several years a software in C++ (windows) mediacenter that I use at home to watch TV and movies, etc.
Now, with this new DVBT2 card, I'd like to know how to set/get plp to use new dvbt2 stream (I live in Italy, and new DVBT2 format will be available in next months, no one knows when!!)
By reading some posts, I have tried to do that:

int GetDVBT2PLP(IBaseFilter **tFilt,PLP_INFO *plp)
{
IBaseFilter *pTunerFilter;
IKsPropertySet *pPropertySet;
DWORD TypeSupport=0;
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
unsigned long BytesRead=1;
IEnumPins* pPinEnum = NULL;
int i;

ZeroMemory(plp,sizeof(PLP_INFO));

pTunerFilter = tFilt[TUNERDEVICE]; // This is the filter TBS 6281 DVB-T/T2 Tuner 0 or 1
...
// try to get pPropertySet by a filter pin ...
pTunerFilter->EnumPins(&pPinEnum);
if (pPinEnum)
{
IPin* pPin=NULL;
while ((pPropertySet == NULL) && (pPinEnum->Next(1, &pPin, NULL) == S_OK))
{
hr = pPin->QueryInterface(IID_IKsPropertySet, (void **) &pPropertySet);
pPin->Release();
}
pPinEnum->Release();
}

if (pPropertySet)
{
hr = pPropertySet->Get(KSPROPSETID_BdaTunerExtensionProperties,KSPROPERTY_BDA_PLPINFO,plp,sizeof(PLP_INFO),plp,sizeof(PLP_INFO),&BytesRead);

for (i = 0; i < plp->plpCount; i++)
logger.LogMessage(hr,LOG_INFO," plpId %d %d",i,plp->plpIdList[i]);
pPropertySet->Release();
// here you will got the plp info form the drivers. "plpCount" the value mean how many plp id on this frequency.
// plplist[] store the plp id.
return plp->plpCount;
}
return -1;
}

This is what I get:

All these pids are non sense for me.


Is my code correct or am I missing something?

Hi
what is the cards you used? is it TBS6281? the card have not support the interface. you need use our new series of cards. such as TBS6281se.

Thanks
Best Regards

Ah sorry, I use TBS6281SE
For now, I am able to see HEVC test program but I need to know the correct procedure do set/get pls, in order to be ready when dvbt2 channels will became available.
Thank you for your answer

I have found the source code example in a similar post in this forum for tbs 6205 card.
