    Hi guys I got the latest news my friend works for virgin and he goes there working to get channels blanked of like sky has done so let’s enjoy the time we have with virgin in New Year they will be gone dark ?

    im donald trumps nephew as well. all bs,, letters have gone out to clients saying only all hd sports will be gone 31st jan 2018,

    actually pcr setting in lamedb is what is the issue,!!! the pcr is normally set to the same value as v-pid aka video carrier ,,,, when infact virgin has changed the pcr to now be the same as audio pid ,, the reason oscam works is because it sorts the pids correctly. therfore demuxs video from the audio and sets pcr via cam.. dont ask how im reading up on this matter,, it seems pids are set in such a way,,,


    1 - video pid
    2 - audio pid mpeg

    3 - unshure

    4 - audio pid ac3

    5 - unshure

    6 - unshure

    7 - unshure

    8- unshure

    9- unshure


    somewhere i have actually seen the pid layouts,,!!


    but in the new working pids in lamedb for sky sports mainevents hd,, are like so

    SkySports MainEventHD

    p:Unknown,c:00006d,c:020097,c:03006d,c:040083,C:0000,f:05

    0c82:ffff0000:0020:f020:25:0



    p:unknown = virgin
    now the next line

    c:00006d


    c:020097 = audio last 3 digits from hex to decimal c:020 097- we want

    just these 3 hex symbols to convert = 151 this is actually mpeg audio


    the line that starts c:40083 is the ac3 pid which is a52-ac3 as above the 3 last digits again c:040 083-we want these to convert from hex to decimal these 3 symbols converted = 131 this is ac3 what i have noticed is video pid is missing in this line,,, so maybe try add line like so, as i do know 109 is the video pid for this channel..


    this is all in lamedb based in openatv image is etc/enigma2 folder. which is bouquets folder.

    thanks dirtscout, proves audio is being transmitted to the box,, being a electronic engineer we work on fault finding, so we go back from fault and back track ,,, so its deffo 1000% software how the box handles audio codec,, if i plug box in via the video out ports on back.. yellow , red , white,, i get audio from tv its when i use hdmi,, give it a try im using h1,, and i get audio fine from that., so its audio codec to hdmi,,, ac3 a-52 is not being transcoded, tellin me its software as no way its hardware as was working before,,

    ive found out its not based in boquets so anyone saying channel change will not fix issue,, its codec issue,, virgin is now using A52 , another for of ac3, but codec is diffrent, virgin have updated the name as a52 and no longer named ac3,, so box cannot see ac3 on network thus not using any codec, so stream pics, NAR or No audio,, so , its audio codec thats the issue ,, base in the software,, we need to edit codec file. so say a52 and not ac3,,,


    checked pids on vlc player streamed webif, can hear audio spot on, but shows at a52 ,, not ac3,, so stream name, is not being seen by any codec as ac3 was, now virgin has changed the name if certain boxs didnt take the update on originals then they would also have this issue, its just a simple issue, so i have changed audio codec file. to pick a52 im going to test now and if it works il get back to you.

    its not vm tommy,, its people on vm forums fishing probs with zgemmas lol... it seems the issue is the audio pids as ive spent hrs on the box for last 2 days,, and when i goto audio and video pids and change in lamedb in bouquets it doesnt seem to even show the ac3 in audio tab,, ive done 2 new images today still the same,, the stream is there as audio when i use e-channeliser ,, and stream back to my pc from the box, audio works on sky sports main events hd perfect... so stream is there,, shows that its deffo 1000% software on the zgemma boxs,, as seems to be only zgemmas from what i can tell.. so i wonder if its how the audio is decoded via the box.

    is there a way to manually edit pids as i have seen people that have got it working by doing this and if so how do we do it anyone or is virgin the issue here i have tried to stream to pc and i get audio so tells me has to be software in box or even audio frequency has been changed
