Anyway, I have another issue - VTV app fails channel search - whether it’s automatic or manual, as soon as it is initated it stops and comes back to start window of app. The same happens with VIM2_Nougat_vTV_V170930 firmware.

Sorry for that. You can download fixup_dvb.7z to fixup it on VIM2_Nougat_vTV_V170930. The instruction file ReadMe is inclued in fixup_dvb.7z
Also I have updated the DVB_Patch for it.

Thanks, applying current version of DVB_Patch (or to be specific - 0003-DVB-fixup-application-quit-abnormal-while-DVB-T-T2-C.patch) solves the issue

I was able to build Nougat with Google Apps, SuperSU and VTV I ran DVB-T scan in Lithuania, got the channels found and it works. Also tried recording broadcast - all smooth.

However:

@Frank.DTV

1. It does not support AC3 audio streams (both decode and passthrough fail for us).
   – AC3 audio need license from Dolby, for S912, need S912-B chipset to support it.

2. DVB-T/T2 and DVB-C does not work at all. I’ve tried to start search, but it quits immediately.
   –can you help me to caputure the logcat information while DVBT/C channel search.

We really need a way to add AC3 support for audio stream. Otherwise there is not so much use having S/PDIF port

And one more thing - can I make VTV app not autostart when Android boots up? I want to launch it myself when wanted.

----- I will add one setting option to let user can choose auto start or not for next version release.

As I understand this will be solved. When can we expect new version? Any plans to open source it?

As yet we don’t have sources of VTV app probably there is no way how to integrate OSCam, Ccam or any other software based (CONAX-like) decoder? I have USB smart card reader which I would like to use for decoding DVB-C stream.

Along with other nice ARM-based devices I do have X Solo mini3 set-top box which runs on OpenPLI. Under this Linux-based system extensions are available (like OpenWebif interface) and one very valuable is softcams - OSCam can be added and it works very nice Can we have something similar with VTV app?

I saw there is Android build of OSCam (sources on GitHub) - this might be useful.
