Unicable II tuning not working #1106

Closed Delitants closed 1 year ago

Delitants commented 1 year ago

Hi, this issue was reported several times year ago and still persists. Unicable II (JESS) is not working! It's not a switch problem, it's not cables, etc... it's minisatip.

http://192.168.20.230:8081/?msys=dvbs2&mtype=8psk&freq=11766&pol=v&sr=29900&pids=all

Suppose to tune 11766V at 29900 but no signal coming. Tested and confirmed using Tvheadend and Astra Cesbo, which don't have any issues tuning different transponders over defined UB slot (6) and freq (1155) at adapter 18. Minisatip is just does not do anything but hijacking what was tuned in other software on this adapter before minisatip.

/root/minisatip/minisatip -I minisatip3 -O -y 554 -D 3 -x 8081 -e 18 -j 18:6-1155 -l ca -E -t -f Tried -u and -j - no difference minisatip.log

Using blind guess I have deducted -1 from actual slot number (on switch side it's 6) and I set is as 5 (-j 18:5-1155) and it tuned as expected. Please fix.

Slot numbers start at 0 in minisatip, there's nothing to fix there. The example in the README uses slot 0 as well. So are you saying your years of Unicable troubles were down to this?

Apparently yes. And why is on Earth you have decided to start it from 0 when every major switch maker start it from 1? There is nothing in readme, at least clear enough to understand that you count it from zero. Why nobody pointed out like “hey man, check Ub slot order, because readme says this” for years in multiple issues opened?

It’s a standard Unicable 1 - 8 UB, 1-8, not 0-7. it’s Unicable 2 - 32 UB, 1-32, not 0-31. Inverto, Terra.

I guess we'll have to make it clearer in the README, I doubt it's worth changing the meaning of the value to start from 1 anymore, that would mean everyone would have to update their settings.

Glad you found the problem, shame it took so long :/
