Sorry to get a bit off topic in this thread but I can't seem to get WS(BDA) to work. I have used WS before but only running as a service.

Below is a copy of server opening log and it does show errors but I don't know what they mean. Java j2sdk1.4.2_03 is installed.

Spectum BDA drivers are installed and working via GraphEdit and ShowShifter and there are now two tuning spaces as one would expect.

It starts to record at the specified time but just places a 0 byte .bin file in the record directory and returns an error to WS.

Any help would be appreciated.......Frained

Looks to me like it can't load the Cyberlink Mux Filter. Is there a way to set the latest versions to record TS?

IMHO, the Cyberlink Mux Filter is useless if it can't reocrd HD or AC3 streams. ABC and Channel Ten here have AC3 audio and with Nine, I just record Nine HD as they upscale SD content to 1080i and Nine HD runs at a nice 14mbits comapred to Ten HD's 12. Only useful for recording Channel Seven
Spoonfed
True it is a bit annoying it only does SD and mpeg audio.

Still im happy with this for now (once working ok at least)
I wouldn't mind capturing the AC3, only 2ch anyways so not that big a deal. Im not interested in capturing HD either, too much room taken up and my Cray Super Computer is still in transit so i can do FFDShow filtering on 1080 HD smile.gif hahaha
I'd rather watch FFDShow'ed SD than HD on the projector anyday.

Null,

As per my email, yes that filter is registered and graphedit shows it as registered, the file is the same version, the file is just located in the digivison directory instead of system32, which shoudn't matter?

Makes me wonder if the demuxer is not installed with windows and only available with SP1, why else would i not have it in the system32 dir?

hmmm i think it may be time to service pack, do you think it will help sort this problem?

Yep that is it, you can get the mux filter by downloading the V-Stream software from kworld.

I'm happy with just using 2.2.0.0 TS version. You can preview the files using DVD2AVI TS version and ProjectX can easily make the recordings DVD compliant. If I do have any luck finding a filter, I will post here.

I have mentioned this before but the idea is that there will be multiple output options, you will be able to pick on from the list:

- Full Transport Stream
- Non complient TS stream of PIds you select
- PS Muxed pids you select
- Video and Audio stream to seperate files (mp2, mpv etc)

Just have to implement it :-)

New Version: 2.2.5.0

http://www.digtv.ws/files/dvb/BDA

This version add support for selection of what type of mux/capture you want to use.

Capture Types are available when adding or editing schedules, options currently include.

- TS Mux (This is the non complient TS option, only the Audio and Video streams or captured, creates a TS files)

- TS Full (This just captures the full Transport Stream to disk)

- CL Mux (This uses the CyberLink mux, you need the V-Stream software installed)

- SS Mux (This uses the SHowShifter Mux/dump filter, you need ShowShifter BDA Beta installed)

thats it.
Spoonfed
cool, more testing smile.gif

haven't tried the new splitter with WS and BDA yet (busy using SDK WS and watchin DVD) will change drivers (again) tomorrow and try.

The spliter seems to have improved Digital Watch BIGTIME (ie channel flicking for a few minutes and no problems, normally blank screens every 5 changes at best) Heres to hoping it sorts out WS as well.

EDIT: BUT i have noticed nine is now giving problems on DW also. Did not test recently (been using Fusion for live) this prior to the spliter upgrade but my guess is it was there. Often on channel select i get frozing video, a short burst of sound then nothing. All other channels are fine. Will go back to the old spliter (which i think i deleted, anyone go a copy?) and try. I have a feeling nine brisbane has no idea, clowns.

All we need then is DW on BDA, Dvico to bring out their BDA set (well thats more for me smile.gif hehe) and perhaps a 3rd party package will be together (eventually supporting multicards) that IMHO beats any "commercial" or "bundled" solution.

Shaun, java.exe is throwing up an error saying that it can't find MSVCRTD.dll on the latest version.

On the previous versions, it didn't throw up this error.
null_pointer
Sorry, I released the Debug DLL instead of the Release one, fixed now, download again, the CaptureEngine.DLL file in the WS directory should be 100K in size.
captainatomic
I cant stand the thought of anyone downloading that massive DVB PLUS software from KWORLD just for the sake of a mux filter - so I have hosted the mux filter from the kworld software on my own site. Its only 148kb - much less than the 60mb+ file from kworld.

http://home.iprimus.com.au/queen69/MpgMux.ax

Register the filter and it should work as normal.

Shaun, scanning ABC, Ten and Win works (SBS doesn't due to my antenna setup), but Prime doesn't work.

This is the output from (when running start-server.bat in the command prompt) the start of the scanning of Prime.

The BDA Sample locks onto and plays Prime fine.

Shaun,

I have some good pretty conclusive (more will tell with general day to day use) results.

The new MS Demuxer has cured the nine issue, so spectrum was right (thanks). I have now done multiple nine captures and all have worked and output to either TS or MPG.

So that issue seems to be now fixed. Perhaps provide a link on your download page to spectrums site for the file (for newbies not reading this) and a brief explanation.

Now the 2nd issue.

I still loose control even with 2.2.5 version of both ABC and Nine captures. Even if i let the capture finish, the schedule lists "finished" but i cannot delete it. Also i cannot stop or edit these two channels.

I went back to 2.2.3 version and re-registered the PSIParser.ax and both nine capture works fine, and i can control, stop/delete ALL networks now.

So perhaps it is the TIF filter thingy that WS is having trouble controlling on these two networks? I guess now you can look back at any code changes that may affect this, but the TIF thingy is the most logical.

I feel now i can move over to BDA for VP, be it using an older WS version for now smile.gif I'll try it as a service first and see how it performs.
I'll loose Digital Watch, but i did notice Nate asking a few BDA questions in the other thread, so it seems perhaps he is hard at work on BDA WS.

Oh out of interest by chance i found out that Dvicio FusionHDTV also uses the MS Demultiplexer. I tried to open FusionHDTV after deregistering the old MSdemux filter and it errored asking for that exact file. Which makes me wonder why it has no such problems (very wierd). It also seems to function fine on the Longhorn version which is good.
null_pointer
kenneth, try the following DLL

http://www.digtv.ws/files/dvb/BDA/CaptureEngine.dll


Spoonfed, the TIF filter is always in the Graph, it is required as it works with the Network Provider to do the tuning etc.

Does it always happen or just sometimes (losing control of nine and ABC), Can you send me your channels.obj file, I think this is a bug with channel names.
kenneth
Shuan, Prime is scanning now without WS crashing.

Only issue is that only Prime View 1 & 2 are showing. Prime TV Canberra isn't. I think this may be an issue with the TIF filter detecting an AC3 sound stream as well as the MPEG sound stream (I haven't confermed that the AC3 sound exists except in FusionHDTV).
null_pointer
It was crashing because the TIF filter could not get the Program Info for that program, I may need to look at the way I trigger on available info and make sure the TIF has all the data before querying it.

Set WS to come out of S3 mode and do a 64 minutes test recording. Result was a file containing only the first 27 minutes. Everthing else OK dropped back into S3 fine.
Spoonfed
Shaun,

Just noticed a link/feature i often use missing.

On the schedule page you use to have an option to "jump" to the section of the EPG that schedule was set to. I found this handy to quicly check if the show was actually on this week for example.

Also have you encountered the sync issue? Most captures irrelvant of channel have some sort of sync issue within a 1 hour period. Ususally it starts with video pause and sometimes audio gltich. They sync may be a out for 10min and will later come back after another audio pause. Not sure what could be causing it, i remember mention of it previously but not sure if it was WS or Driver related? Tis annoying to watch smile.gif hehe "wana fight.... fight me"

This is more than likely the bug with the demuxer or driver.

Yep, gone for now, can not work out how to get the frame target worked out, the new version uses HTML frames and frame sets for the EPG.

This could be the muxing filter, the best way around this is to capture the full TS and then extract what streams you want later.
Spoonfed
awwww "extract the streams later" that just smacks of effort smile.gif hehe

I'll download BDA showshifter (think i already have) and try that muxer.


As for the "epg jump", im not really good at HTML either, i did our work website but its pretty basic, would have no idea how to acheive it either smile.gif

New issue tonight.

Capturing $even encountered the following.

PC became unuseable, and extremely slow. Eventually task manager came up to find 100% cpu and the culptrit being java.exe.

I rebooted the machine (took for ever) and restarted the capture (which overwrote was already captured (use to start a new file?))

5min later the same thing, no idea why. I've gone back to VP Drivers and SDK version and will see (this will eliminate actual java environment) and possibly WS, could it be another driver issue?

I think i'll stick with SDK version for the next little while. Nearly all my captures have had some sync issues, some have not completed and this new one, makes it a little frustrating smile.gif

I'll wait till Divco release their Fusion BDA drivers and see how WS runs with them. Should be a good test/comparison base to possibily eliminate issues that are WS related, driver related and filter/spliter/muxer releated i guess?

keep up the good work. Im gonna miss the improved interface, glitch free (well pixelated glitch) ABC captures smile.gif

Have you been using the Cyberlink Muxer? Everything I recorded with WebScheduler BDA 2.2.0.0 using non compliant TS was perfect. Sounds to me like the muxer is more trouble than it's worth.
Spoonfed
True. I do like the muxer as i have yet to get .ts or .tp files to play in Zoomplayer (which i use for DVD and file playback with FFDShow).

I get the error in Zoomplayer

Unable to Create teh "MPEG-2 Demultiplexer" Filter.
Error Code: 80004002 - No such interface supported

The filter is registered.

Any ideas here would be great. I have just moved away from using a manual filter file in Zoomplayer for file playback as i was having sync issues with Xvid/Dvix files and FFDshow (as its in the filter file) was applied to all vids, even poor quality net ones (FFDshow is not good on these, ie adding sharpening etc). If i can get it working with .tp/.ts files some how configuring the customised media playback section (which i've got working well for .mpg with FFDShow for DTV captures) i'd be happy to not use the muxer.

I am going to try the show shifter muxer on the weekend but am leaving the SDK version/drivers on until then so i can enjoy the rest of the weeks captures smile.gif

Shaun,

I am using version 2.3.1.0, and have just encountered a problem. While recording Memento, the recording stopped after about a minute and a half, whereas the WS schedule screen said it was continuing. So the Memento capture is screwed (doesn't matter, got it on DVD). I'm trying it atm with the SS mux filter (was using the CL one), and will report on how it goes.

This sounds like the MS Demuxer problem. Have you installed/registered the Longhorn version (mentioned earlier, with link)

Im pretty sure its cured this issue for me.
Elroy
Nope, haven't installed the MS demuxer yet. Thinks for the tip spoonfed.

OK, I've got 2.4.4 working along with myHTPC and DigitalWatch. Everything is going along fine except for playback of the .ts files. Now I'm using TS Mux Cap and it's creating the files but nothing can play them back. Not even Zoomplayer. Prior to using the BDA drivers this used to work. What the hell am I missing?

Media Player Classic can play them back.

zoomplayer also will.

Download the open source universal MPEG Demuxer/Spliter
http://members.optusnet.com.au/spoonfed/os...28052004_nt.exe

Set the Universal OpenSource MPEG Source as the MPEG Transport under "special purpose source filters".
Set both MPEG 2 transport and program and MPEG also under audio/video spliters to the "universal opensource MPEG spliter".

Should work fine with .ts, .tp, .vob, just about anything i've tested it with.
doddsy
MP Classic works but I need to play them back in Zoomplayer. I've installed the osmpegsplitter and set the MPEG transport and program to use them but it still gets a filter error.
Spoonfed
what version of zoomplayer?

its most important to have the "universal opensource MPEG soure" i the "special source" bit thingy more so than the spliter.
Though the spliter is superior to using the MS MPEG2-Spliter which doesn't seem to work 100% wtih varoius things/formats

thats all i did to make it work smile.gif (took me ages to find such a filter and only stubbled on it)

Running Zoomplayer 4.0 WMV Final.

I'm using the latest Professional version. I didn't have an MPEG option under audio/video splitters so I created one and assigned the Universal Splitter to it. MPEG2 Transport and MPEG2 Program were already there so I simply configured them to use the universal splitter as well. On the other side of the screen under MPEG2 Transport I selected Universal MPEG Source as well. Is this all I'm supposed to be doing?? What about checking the "This filter is also a splitter filter" box?

Cheers

Doddsy
Spoonfed
sounds all correct, unless its something to do with the professional vs WMV version?

i don't have "this is also a spliter" ticked on mine.

u certain you have the "use customised media" box ticked in that section?

what video/audio filters have u set to use (shouldn't matter)

what is the error given?
doddsy
OK another un-install. I'll test using the WMV version. No-ones made this stuff into a codec yet have they?
doddsy
OK I've tested the WMV version and the same thing happens

Unable to create filters for : C:video...
This may be due to a corrupt file or missing decoder filters.

The file is fine as WMClassic can play it back.

BTW this is also a spliter is there in this version as well.
Spoonfed
hmmm no idea.

what video/audio codecs you have install?

if you have say cyberlink, intervideo and elecard PM me and i'll email my exported config file for you to try.

I got this to work (with significant support from Spoonfed, thanks!) using ZoomPlayer Pro.

I had to install AC3Filter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ac3filter) and the Open Source MPEG Splitter (http://members.optusnet.com.au/spoonfed/os...28052004_nt.exe).

Here's some screen dumps that might help... This is what you should see after the install.

1. Here's what you should see as the filter in use by Selected Profile. Note the Filter in use is the "Source".


2. If you click on configure on the left-hand-side under Special Purpose Source Filters with MPEG2 Transport selected, you should see this.


3. If you highlight MPEG2 Program under Audio/Video Splitters you should see this. Note the Filter in use is the "Splitter". Note that the MPEG2 Transport underneath should be set to the same.


4. If you click on configure under Audio/Video Splitters you should see this.


5. The Filter Properties showed this when playing back a TS Mux of the 9 HD loop.


Hope this helps.

I've had to duck off to work to look after a server but looking at those screen dumps (Nice and handy for others BTW) That is my config exactly. I'll check the filter properties later on when I get home.

Did you dump the entire stream, or did you use the TS Mux. I dumped the entire stream for Shrek the other night, and I had to pick the right streams (not the default ones) for playback, otherwise I got skips/chirps/rubbish (and crashes!). Below the Filter Selection shown in the screen dumps above, theres Stream Selection. See if you've got multiple video/audio streams to select from.
doddsy
I used TS Mux. But I'm still at work so I can't check anything yet. BTW Although this site is useful it's a pain in the ass to find information on particular issues. Although the responses I've had from you guys have been really quick they have been answered before. Finding latest builds of software is a hit and miss affair as well.

When I get this up and running I'll ghost the disk and start again from scratch and try to document every step to setup a PC with a VP card, BDA Drivers, MyHTPC, Webscheduler, DigitalWatch and ZoomPlayer. If everything is in the one spot and devs then updated the site with new releases of software it might help others trying to configure a system.

A month ago I was about to give up as the VP drivers are shit, the BDA stuff was too green and there was always an issue with one piece of software or another but VP BDA 1.5.5 seems to be stable and WS is looking real funky now and HD viewing isn't a "guess when the BSOD is gonna happen" anymore.

I work for a hosting company so I should be able to find some space somewhere for this.
doddsy
OK I checked it and my settings are identical to the screen dumps except when there is a filter error you cannot check the filter properties as they are greyed out. I had already installed the ac3 filters and I know they work because MPClassic uses them.

I'm getting kinda stumped at the moment.
Hally
Try clicking the verify button in the configuration screens to see if the filter you're referring to actually exists.

got this working thru ZoomPlayer, but i have come across one issue, due to slight errors in the recorded file, the open source splitter/source (i tried both in graphedit btw) stops decoding completely at the errors, and zoomplayer starts playing from the start. with a HD recording on 9, i was left with hearing the same idiot say the same half a sentence over and over sad.gif
