Hi!
I'm installing a new system for a friend. Hardware is Zotac ZBOX AQ01. Installed the software according to the AMD VDPAU tutorial and XBMC (Gotham 13.2 Final) is running fine. Installed VDR 2.1.6, xbmc-pvr-vdr-vnsi addon and compiled the server plugin from source. The addon is activated and XBMC is showing the channels. When trying to start a channel nothing happens and there's no error message shown.

Here are some logs that might help:

sudo cat /var/log/syslog
sudo dmesg

Maybe somebody can help me fix it. If you need any further logs or other information I'll provide it instantly.

Thanks Folks!

I would correct this error first:
ERROR: no DiSEqC parameters found for channel 1

Then increase loglevel for vdr to 3 and post a new log if this does not help.

Made some changes in diseqc.conf and now the error is gone, but it's still not working. When starting a channel it starts buffering and then shows an error message about "No data". Here is the syslog. How can I check which loglevel is used and how can I change it?

No need for further vdr logging, it does not get any data from the tuner:
Aug 31 19:14:21 xbmc vdr: [2304] frontend 0/0 timed out while tuning to channel 1, tp 211347

Are you sure that your chanels.conf is correct? Where did you get it from?

[eroxm]

I took the channels.conf from the yaVDR channelpedia. Did this for my other VDRs too.

[FernetMenta]

OK, so you have other VDRs working? Also no issue with the dish? I would expect the problem in be the tuner or driver. Do yo have any tools to test it independently from vdr?

[eroxm]

There's no issue with the dish, all other receivers and VDR are working. The tuner is a PCTV 460e. I've used it on a windows machine before and it was working there, so the hardware should be ok. According to the linux tv wiki it's supported in linux, so the software shouldn't be a problem, too. Maybe I'll give tvheadend or another backend a try to see if it's a problem of VDR.

[EDIT]
Took another tuner to test with and voila, it's working. I don't know what the problem is with the PCTV 460e, but with a Terratec Cinergy S2 USB HD, it's working.
