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

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)
