[ViX_Misc] Narrator voice on Virgin channels

[baz2011uk]

looking at whats being posted up seems like random channels that people are getting working or is it at the present time when checked the program that is on is not AD supported anyway
all my hd channels still have it apart from cinema Christmas and fox hd has no sound at all
i have noticed that if the program is on any said HD channel and is not supported by AD its fine you can check this on the info by pressing ok twice

but on a side note my ITV HD if fine regardless what program is on even if it supports AD

Guys, be-careful where this thread goes and be mindful of the Forum rules.

Some channels back to normal

got an example bud?

 

[dfox]

Not right now as working from an old and slow lappy. You do need to set the 1st 3 flags to on to stop your changes being overwritten



Edit: I think I've managed it

Apologies, what us this post for? To get audio back or stop narration?

Thanks

 

[Ashley69]

Both I believe.

Easiest way to work around this issue is as follows:

1) Via webinterface stream HD channel using VLC.
2) Whilst streaming in VLC, go to Tools > Codec Information. Set the reported Audio and Video PID using E-Channelizer as already explained in this thread. Some channels may not even play any audio on PC and VLC, but thats not an issue. All we need is the Audio and Video PID.

Takes all of about an hour or so to do all the VM HD channels, theres only 70 odd channels.

Finally make sure abm scheduled scan is turned off otherwise your changes will be over-written overnight.

Ensure you use VLC for correct PID's. Audio PID's shown in service information in e2 box are wrong to set as AC3. You must use the Audio PIDs found via VLC.

This is my setting

then this error

I have tried to change this to the setting in the pic and when I do I lose the picture now as well??

Sorry, I have picture but narration is still there

See post 67 for info how to get correct PID's.

i have just tried this out and on fox hd has no sound or any sound option in audio button on box.
after doing the above the sound started on box briefly then screen goes blank.
but on checking the audio on the box there is now a ac3 option little bit stumped.

Just tried this for E4 HD and selecting the AC3 track in VLC I get no audio, the other track (NAR) there is audio?

i think virmin are defo up to something as there are a lot of new tests channels saying test v1 w1 w2w3 w4 w5 w6 x1 x2 y1 y2 y3 y4 y5 z1 z2

 

[Xpen15]

done exactly as shown above except I got PID from service info. But when I write back to box. All channels stop working or I get Tuner Failed. I hope VM sort this out and this isn't the beginning of the end.

16 new services have been added to the SDT according to recent scan data, with vague service names such as Test V1. All parked in the double digit graveyard section of the EPG.

At the time of the scan, none of these had been added to the NIT in ex-Telewest / ex C&W regions. They were all marked as hidden, and flagged as "Entertainment". So, something is happening, no real clues as to what it might be...

SID 4403 Test V1 (one of the 16 new services added to the SDT) has now been added to NIT of 4 VM internal networks usually associated with testing. It moved from EPG slot 17 to channel 947 and the hidden flag has been removed. 947 is in the radio section of the EPG, but Test V1 is currently flagged in the entertainment category, not the radio category. Hmmm...

Getting reports that q5 boxes are fine I havent got one but is there anything that could be tested to see why it works fine on that but not enigma2?

That was posted last month wasn't it? With the guesses being that it could be an related service that VM might offer?

I think this is a sly job on virmin first hit the HD channels then before you know it there gone

Sly use (nds) now cisco for their smartcard security and VM use NAGRA (kudelski) for theirs so different platform and organisations but you are correct as HD channels will be affected firstly..i have a funny feeling the SD format will remain for some time until older generation boxes have been swapped out.

This will take some time as not everyone will upgrade from their old samsung boxes for instance which to my research require smartcards.

Although inhome service calls from VM for the likes of picture breakup or BB issues etc will result in old equipment being replaced at the same time as the service call by the engineer.

why dont you try and write it back to the box

then you will see it works
