i. Single Tuner Guide
Run the VBScript and set the options to your need.
Now load up MP Server Config goto TV Servers > <YourServersName> in the top of the right column make sure you have at least one DVBIP card active.
Go to the DVBIP card to scan and choose the tuning file you created DVBLink.Comhem.
Make sure the checkboxes are unchecked and then press scan and your channels will show up.
After the scan go to the TV Channels > Channels tab and make sure ALL your channels are GREEN (Free to Air) THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!
If the channels are red (Crypted) you wont get any picture.
Changing the channels to FTA is as simple as right clicking the channel and choose edit channel and tick Free to Air checkbox. (or checkout ii.2)
All done for singel tuner setup!!!
ii. Multituner Setup (example is for 4 tumers)
Run the VBScript four times, remember to change the CLIENT IDENTIFIER each time.
Now load up MP Server Config goto TV Servers > <YourServersName> in the top of the right column make sure you have 4 DVBIP cards active.
On the first card scan with DVBLink.Comhem.m3u, on the second use DVBLink.Comhem2.m3u and so on.
When this is done you will end up with 4 duplicate channels of every channel in the Channels tab.
Then we go to TV Channels > TV Combinations
Mark the first channel in the left column and you will get channels that are 100% match in the right column
Mark the channels that are 100% match and press combine, then do this for all your channels.
After this go to TV Channels and under Channels you will only see one channel of each channel and no dupes.
Now the Tuningdetails column of each channel under channels will say 4 instead of 1.
ii.2
Goto Import/Export and Export your channels to ex. C:\export.xml.
Delete all your channels from Tv Channels.
Load up export.xml in notepad.
Replace all FreeToAir="False" with FreeToAir="True" then save file.
Goto Import/Export and Import C:\export.xml.
Goto TV Channels and all your channels should be Green and with Tuningdetails set to 4.
If all this checks out for you then you are good to go Enjoy MediaPortal with multiple tuners and DVBLink!!!
*** TIP * TIP * TIP ***
If you are experiancing "TvLibrary.TvException: Unable to start graph".
Try and change the UdpReceiveDataTimeout delay in MPIPTVSource.ini to ex. 5000.
This should solve the problem.
Tips and experiances are welcomed.
