Some channels don't have the license to send some programs (most of them
movies) outside of the country, so they scramble the DVB-S when they
transmit those programs. For example channel 1 is sending a perfectly fine
mpeg2 stream from 00:00 to 21:15, but then they send a scrambled stream
from 21:15 to 23:00 because only people within the country are allowed to
watch that movie because of license reasons. So when switching to a
scrambled channel with MythTv will get you the error message "Unknown
error, exiting decoder", and the logs say
{{{
2007-08-16 18:46:45.355 NVP, Error: JumpToProgram's OpenFile failed.
2007-08-16 18:46:45.355 NVP, Error: Unknown error, exiting decoder
2007-08-16 18:46:45.366 TV: Attempting to change from WatchingLiveTV to
None
}}}
and you will go back to the main menu. So you are unable to watch TV ever
again, until that channel is not scrambled anymore, or until you manually
change the "first channel". This is very annoying, and I think there
should be an OSD message telling you that "there is some error", but you
should still be able to change to a different channel.
I even tryed to fix this myself (line 2930 of NuppelVideoPlayer.cpp), but
I don't know where to go from there - or should we not exit the loop on
line 3144 when errored?
Thanks for mythtv :)
