Hi,

I don't know why, but on some channels (it are allways the same) i have a black screen or no sound or both.

The only solution of this problim which i found is, to go into the settings and pressing Ok with changing nothing. Would be very nice if you hafe a solution for this problem.

DvB-S card: Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S Plus
Ver: 5.15.09

Please report on that channels, satellite position and transponder.
And please tell us about codecs and renderer used.

Also try to find out, if there's something special on that stations, like an unusual video resolution, audio mode(s) or alike.

WoW... lost of questions.. im not really good in that thing.. but i will try it...


Ok that channels are only german channels:

GIGA (Blackscreen and nosound)
VOX (no Sound)
ZDF (Blackscreen)
ARD (Blackscreen and nosound)
RTL (no Sound)

---------------------------

Codecs (tried Different but doesnt matter):
Video: Microsoft MPEG-2 Video Decorder
Video H.264/AVC: ffdshow Video Decoder
All Audo: Elecard Audo Decorder
Renderer: Enhanced Video Renderer (all others are pixely, but also doenst matter to the problem)

---------------------------

I didn't really found a special things on this channels. Very strange problem.

So I suppose, you are on Astra 19.2°E.

However, there's no station 'ARD' on it, the name is 'Das Erste'.
And if you were on Hotbird 13°E instead, the name would be 'ARD "Das Erste" '
Same way, suppose, you're talking about 'RTL Television'...

We're dealing with computer logics here, so precision is a must.

To save some bandwidth, GigaTV has a horizontal resolution of 544 pixels. This may be unusual for some codecs, that were made for DVD, not DVB. A width of 720 would be normal (full D1, also used on DVDs).

But on the others I don't find anything special, except of extra standard audio streams on 'Das Erste' and 'ZDF', plus AC3 on those and 'RTL Television'.
So nothing in common for all those mentioned

Is there a chance, the failure also depends on what station you were on before?

Yes I'm on ASTRA 19,2°.^^

Sry for talking about ARD. I meant 'Das Erste', i just renamed it. And yes RTL -> RTL Televsion. Sorry for this.

De Channels before do not affect the channels with the prblems.

But I have found another solution. When i go to a channel, which do not work and i restart ProgDVB so that the channel runs when ProgDVB starts, the channel also work.

And one thing i have forgotten:
If the Channel is working once, it's working for all the time till i quit ProgDVB.
Not allways but often^^

Maybe you should check the channel properties of that channels, activate / default to the first (~ German) audio stream, if not done yet.

There must be a logical reason for this kind of behaviour (even if complicated), and Prog would surely need complete and really precise details, to find and fix a possible bug.

BTW, I don't have issues like that over here, but I'm using different hardware.

Perhaps you may want to try and install an older version of ProgDVB into another folder and compare.

I will reinstall it...
How can i save the controles? I have invested so much time in it

Keep the file Controls.ini

BUT you don't have to uninstall one version to install another.

Just install into another folder, as I told before.

OK, from Windwos software management, the uninstall routine would not be able, to work on more than one version, but ProgDVB installs with an uninstall.exe in it's base folder, along with the specific uninstall.ini required.

Just don't install codecs over and over again.

Ok i have now reinstalled it but doenst changed :/

Now i tried to do it via IRRemote.ini (Hauppauge WinTV), but i dont know how to do the unusual keys at a step:

Alt+e+e
Tab
Tab
Tab
Tab
Tab
Tab
Enter

The First one is the difiicultest :/
I can do {alt}e, but not {alt}ee ...
