Hello,
Excuse me if I have trouble to speak your language, I'm French.
I'm on Kubuntu 4.10 x86_64
I would like to do a search of the channels satellite.
Apès read the readme.txt file I can not run a scan-s2 for /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 and /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1.

Can you explain how it works.

Code: Select All Code: laurent@PC-ubuntu:~$ ls /dev/dvb adapter0 adapter1 laurent@PC-ubuntu:~$

Code: Select All Code: laurent@PC-ubuntu:~$ sudo scan-s2 -5 -o vdr -x 0 -s 2 -S 0 -v -U -O S19.2E dvb-s/Astra-19.2E > channels.conf API major 5, minor 4 ERROR: Cannot open rotor configuration file 'rotor.conf'. scanning dvb-s/Astra-19.2E using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' ERROR: cannot open 'dvb-s/Astra-19.2E': 2 No such file or directory ERROR: initial tuning failed dumping lists (0 services) Done. laurent@PC-ubuntu:~$

Code: Select All Code: laurent@PC-ubuntu:~$ scan S1 11778000 V 27500000 3/4 35 QPSK scanning S1 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' ERROR: cannot open 'S1': 2 No such file or directory ERROR: initial tuning failed dumping lists (0 services) Done.

Thank you.

Hi xunil2003.

See that all errors is about no such file, the file not founded are needed and it's content list of transponders to scan.
Try moving to TBS drivers folder, for example for mi /usr/src/tbsDrivers
then try to scan
sudo scan-s2 -5 -o vdr -x 0 -s 2 -S 0 -v -U -O S19.2E astra_scan-s2.conf > channels.conf
In this case you are using adapter 0. To use second adapter you must to add "-a 1" parameter.

Best regards.

Hello,

I do not understand how the scanner adapter 1 and 2?
Can you show me an example for the adapter 1 and 2.

There are two cards TBS (TBS 6220 adapter 0 and TBS 6981 adapter 1 / 2) scan-s2 on the adapter must be 1 or 2 and not on adapter 0.

See below the numbers of adapters cards TBS.

Code: Select All Code: laurent@PC-ubuntu:~$ dmesg | grep DVB [ 12.015733] DVB: registering new adapter (SAA716x dvb adapter) [ 12.204928] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 62x0 DVBT/T2 frontend)...

Cordially.

Hi xunil2003.

Ok, you have two TBS cards and TBS6981 have adapters 1 and 2.
In this case you must to indicate wich adapter are you using to scan. For example:

scan-s2 -a 1 ... Indicate to use first adapter of your TBS6981
scan-s2 -a 2 ... Indicate to use second adapter of your TBS6981

Best regards.

Hello

I do not understand why it does not work

Code: Select All Code: laurent@PC-ubuntu:~/deb/Ubuntu-12-04/Brothers-MFC-6490CW/printer$ scan-s2 -a 1 -5 -o vdr -x 0 -s 2 -S 0 -v -U -O S19.2E astra_scan-s2.conf > channels.conf API major 5, minor 4 ERROR: Cannot open rotor configuration file 'rotor.conf'. scanning astra_scan-s2.conf using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0' ERROR: cannot open 'astra_scan-s2.conf': 2 No such file or directory ERROR: initial tuning failed dumping lists (0 services) Done. laurent@PC-ubuntu:~/deb/Ubuntu-12-04/Brothers-MFC-6490CW/printer$

Thank you.

Hi xunil2003

That not works because the file astra_scan-s2.conf doesn't exist or you are not in same path of this file.
Use full path to astra_scan-s2.conf and try againg.

Best regards

Hello,

I placed in the directory

Code: Select All Code: laurent@PC-ubuntu:~$ cd /home/laurent/pilotes/TBS6981-linux-drivers_v120827/scan-s2 laurent@PC-ubuntu:~/pilotes/TBS6981-linux-drivers_v120827/scan-s2$

Then I created the file astra_scan-s2.conf because there is no

Code: Select All Code: laurent@PC-ubuntu:~/pilotes/TBS6981-linux-drivers_v120827/scan-s2$ touch astra_scan-s2.conf laurent@PC-ubuntu:~/pilotes/TBS6981-linux-drivers_v120827/scan-s2$$

Then I rerun the command

Code: Select All Code: laurent@PC-ubuntu:~/pilotes/TBS6981-linux-drivers_v120827/scan-s2$ scan-s2 -a 1 -5 -o vdr -x 0 -s 2 -S 0 -v -U -O S19.2E astra_scan-s2.conf > channels.conf API major 5, minor 4 scanning astra_scan-s2.conf using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0' ERROR: initial tuning failed dumping lists (0 services) Done. laurent@PC-ubuntu:~/pilotes/TBS6981-linux-drivers_v120827/scan-s2$

It responds fault
ERROR: initial tuning failed

Cordially.

Hi xunil2003.

To scan with szap-s2 you need a file with transponder list, not an empty file. When you do "touch astra_scan-s2.conf", your are making an empty file and this is not useful.

A file with transponders look like this:

S 10500000 H 27500000 AUTO AUTO AUTO
S 10550000 V 30000000 AUTO AUTO AUTO

One line per transponder to scan. Seen in tbs driver, download it again and use and use astra_scan-s2.conf from there.
Best regars.

PS. Do you speak spanish?

Hola,

Sí Hablo un poco español.
Hice una prueba, pero dice que

Code: Select All Code: FE_SET_PROPERTY TUNE failed: Invalid argument

He buscado en google "Astra tranponder" No he encontrado nada, aparte de esta
http://www.pirmasoft.com/astra/e_indivi.htm
Nada que ver con esto, cómo ajustar

Code: Select All Code: S 10500000 H 27500000 AUTO AUTO AUTO S 10550000 V 30000000 AUTO AUTO AUTO

Sobre todo necesitamos saber todo lo que hay en el satélite (TV / radio / Internet)
Sabe usted que el software "Skynet-Linux"
Yo uso KDE "Kaffeine" para ver la televisión por satélite
Por internet "Skynet-Linux"

Hola xunil2003.

Tal vez en español nos entendamos mejor.
Yo solía utilizar los datos de http://www.fastsatfinder.com/bin/Transponders.zip
Ahí un un gran listado de archivos según la numeración de satélites con un formato distinto al requerido por sza-s2, pero con un script en python (adjunto) lo transformo y guardo para escanear con szap-s2.

Bien. Szap-s2 va a servir para obtener los pids de TV y Radio, pero no de internet.
Para internet yo uso "dvbsnoop -adapter 0 -s pidscan"
Espero esto le sea útil.

Saludos cordiales
