    Audio in a single channel

    Hi Guys,
    Here's one for the really skilful among you! My wonderful still brilliantly working DB has a channel I particularly like - no, not one of those! - Mezzo Live HD - which runs but has no sound. The other Mezzo is fine, and no other channels have this problem. Is there a way to get futher into the audio circuit since it cant be the channel because obviously the service would be corrected - it has been like this for several weeks and I have tried separate transponder rescan. Any ideas gratefully received - cheers Brain

    Check the AID that your stb is using against the ones listed on L***Sat or KoS.

    Thanks very much guys - when my son has finished his assessment with endless football matches I will give these a try. It usually mezzo live on 19e, and it must be my box since if it was a signal fault the broadcaster would have sorted it. Thanks to mac computer I have to use Cyberduck or Fillezilla. Cheers - Brain

    PS. Which file would contain audio pid? I can see it is 0050 19.2e, but while I can get this detail on service how do I get to it to alter it? Cyberduck will open all image files and although I think I have tried them all I may be mistaken. Many thanks again for any help - Brain[less]

    Depending which image you are using on your STB might be able so see the channel data by first selecting the channel then on the remote select menu:

    Menu > Information > Service - - - - - you should then have a screen with basic data about the channel being watched
    At the bottom of the screen you have
    RED Service
    GREEN PIDs
    YELLOW Multiplex
    BLUE Tuner status

    Press Green and it should list all the PIDs for the selected channel, like the table below|

    I posted this because if the PIDs are correct the fault lies somewhere else,
    If they are wrong the simplest way to correct them might be to rescan the single transponder (the AudioID might even be missing or 0000).

    If rescanning fails (and remember you might need to reboot to see if there has been a change) as manic01 posted you will need to edit the channel table using DBE. Don't try editing the LameDB file as it is so fussy. DBE does all the hard work.

    Tell us what you get and if unsuccessful we will try to think of somethig else.

    According to a scan I've just done, the PIDs are
    Code:
    ID       Hex   /  Decimal
    Video    00a0  / 160 
    Audio    0050  /  80 
    PCR      00a0  / 160 
    PMT      049c  /  1035
    TXT       n/a
    TSID     0428  /  1064
    ONID     0001  /   1
    SID      7823  / 30755

    Thanks so much for all your help. That is the correct station too. However, it is where I find those inside the image files. I can open 'information', and then get all details of service name and the audio pid is 0050 [80]-AC3 - spa on the box. It says yellow for C Service and PIDS but this button will not open access to the list. Green is ECM info and shows card/code details.
    I can find almost all files inside Cyberduck, since as I said Dreambox edit cant now be used on a mac. However - now that I have written this I realise all the other PIDS are correct looking at your list.
    TSID. 0428[1064
    ONID. 0001[1]
    SERVICE ID. 7823[30755
    VIDEOPID 00A0[160]
    Audiopid,codec & lang. 0050 [80] - AC3 - spa
    PCR PID. 00A0 [160]
    PMTPID. 040C [1036]
    TXTPID. N/A

    So looks like your third suggestion may be needed, since I have rescanned the single transponder twice. Where do I find the DBE? Thanks again - Brain

    Hi manic01,
    My thanks for your help and reminding me of your dreambox edit link - even for Catalina..?? It was all fine till that last update - I havent even gone to the new one after that.- Thanks again - Brain. PS - just checked the link - it wont work with OS.15 Catalina - however I have found both Filezilla and Cyberduck does do quite a bit on macs but nothing is as good as Dreamboxedit - I do so wish I had done the update!! it's just typical Mac taking control over what users do
