Sundtek Media TV Pro Linux Installation

[fullcorn]

I have the DVB-C/T Media TV stick (running on Ubuntu 12.04, TVheadend 3.0) and I can't get rid of the interlacing.

I tried:

opt/bin/mediaclient -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 --vfilter=on
Using device: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
Setting videofilter to: on

/opt/bin/mediaclient -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 --vfilter=on
Using device: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
Setting videofilter to: on

/opt/bin/mediaclient -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 --vfilter=on
Using device: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
Setting videofilter to: on

But I still have major interlacing, but strangely not on all channels. Some are fine, others look like this:



Any idea what else I can do?

--vfilter deinterlacing is only for AnalogTV, not for digital TV.

For Digital TV you must choose an application which can do deinterlacing of the MPEG Stream.
I guess you might use VLC for this, VLC should have some options in the menu for doing that.

I see. Thank you very much for the hint.

I works in xbmc, where I can adjust the deinterlace, as well as when I use a direct link to play in vlc player, but i doesn't work in the firefox plugin of vlc.

Any idea how one can set the vlc window in tvheadend to apply deinterlace?

unfortunately in German, but maybe that one solves your problem? Just enable permanent deinterlacing.

one improvement could be accepting also 113 and 6900?

[Sundtek]

ok got it, yes that can certainly be done for DVB-C

[Tryon]

Thanks. That was only quote, but my intention was also to apply it for DVB-S?

Another small improvements include optional arguments for blindscan, readsignal, tsscan?

readsignal should use some default number of read times. It will stop without display when started without -d?

Hi! Any improvements of output on blindscan and readsignal?
TAB can be used to avoid misaligned text with 4 digit SR?
