Why are there only 32 LNB numbers in tuner config when there are 64 DiSEqC switching combinations combinations? This is really frustrating as I want to add more LNBs to my setup but E2 (not hardware) is stopping me.

[malakudi]

Actually the combinations limit is 128 LNBs, for receivers that also support 0/12V switches (some non-BCM do support 0/12V). I guess someone thought that "32 LNBs ought to be enough for anybody" :-)

Good question! But do you need more then 32?

I suggest it was due to too many left right selections in the config menu... But now you can select through the complete list via the video button this ins't a real limitation anymore.

Littlesat I've no idea what you are talking about. I've got 32 physical LNBs and want to add more. DiSEqC switching allows this but it is not possible because E2 has this unnecessary limitation.

I suppose you can fix it yourselve .... Or did you discover it also needs changes in the binary...

But what did you do you need 32 lnbs?.... What sats do you switch?

Fast zapping needs an LNB on each satellite.

 

Numbers above 32 are used for something else, not sure what. I'm lost trying to read it.

 

if lnbnum < 33:

Two lnbs per sat... How does this increase zapspeed??

[Dimitrij]

NimManager.py

Line 1208: 	advanced_lnb_choices = [("0", "not available")] + [(str(y), "LNB " + str(y)) for y in range(1, 33)]

Line 1394: 				lnb = ConfigSelection([("0", "not available"), (str(lnbnum), "LNB %d"%(lnbnum))], "0"

"not available" not gettext

[littlesat]

As far I can see LNB 33, 34, 35 and 36 is used for unicable...

I do not have unicable... so I cannot check if I break this.....

ok,but...

-				lnb = ConfigSelection([("0", "not available"), (str(lnbnum), "LNB %d"%(lnbnum))], "0")
+				lnb = ConfigSelection([("0", _("not available")), (str(lnbnum), "LNB %d"%(lnbnum))], "0")

-	advanced_lnb_choices = [("0", "not available")] + [(str(y), "LNB " + str(y)) for y in range(1, 65)]
+	advanced_lnb_choices = [("0", _("not available"))] + [(str(y), "LNB " + str(y)) for y in range(1, 65)]

Thanks.

Lnb number is also used in tuner config screen so would need changing there too.

Littlesat, it is not 2 lnbs per sat. It is 1lnb per sat, and up to 64 satellites. I.e. combination of 16 uncommited x 4 committed = 64.

[littlesat]

Here in tuner config screen I see 64 sats now????

[Huevos]

Then there is a problem. Number of sats should be around 200. Same as in satellites.xml.

[littlesat]

mmmm lnb is different then sats....???

[Huevos]

Of course it is different. One LNB on a motor can get you 70 satellites.

[littlesat]

Here I have two times one LNB for two sats without a rotor... (10E/9E + 4W/5W)

Do you have 32 LNB's on one tuner? Or are the LNB's spread over multiple tuners?

I get a green screen in my situation.

Application:

16 LNB’s combined with a ‘USALS’ rotating dish and a VU+Duo sat-receiver in combination with OpenPLi 4.0.

Most people set the rotating adjustments for each satellite position.
However I have all set in once. This is already running this way for the last 5 years. I have set ‘All satellite 1’set as in figure “DiSEqC adjustments All satellites 1.jpg”. By use of only this all the Satellite position are Using the USAL rotor dish except the 16 LNB’s which I separate defined. This is working excellent.

 

After the change of last night I have put ‘All Satellite 1”on LNB 64 and adjust the parameters equal to the old situation.

After the conformation by clicking OK I get a green screen. See my crash log.

After this a reboot is not functioning any more.

 

I hope that you can follow my description (English is not my native language).

FYI:

Likely this should fix this....

But in the commit log I made a mistake, I meant LNBs instead of Satellites... sorry...
