VMA Stream Reader

I'm not sure if this is the type of file you need. If so, I hope it helps.

Thank you but is not that type. I have seen that I can generate one from ESBPro when you export a blindscan. I am currently away from home at this time so on my return will generate one from the same satellite on EBSPro and VMA then compare and note the changes needed.

Fantasic feature rich software from VMA many thanks for all the skill and time you have put into this.

Has anybody used the export transponders to Altdvb feature? Not working for me currently. I get the ini file from VMA streamreader but Altdvb V2.5.0 is not liking it. I am trying to import from the Altdvb Scan window.

format INI file for import to AltDVB Scan

Code: 
[SATTYPE]
1=1234
2=Name sat on position

[DVB]
0=3
1=11111,V,1600
2=11112,H,30000,12,QPSK
3=11113444,L,30000,34,8PSK
3=11114,R,30000,91

VMA Stream Reader
- Added context menu in spectrum chart of Stream Reader tab to allow interactive start/end frequency selection
- Added buttons to increase/decrease amplitude of spectrum chart in Stream Reader tab
- Added "+" button in Stream Reader tab to add current locked transponder to transponder list in Auto Scan tab
- Added button to open DX reports

VMA Stream Reader
- Added PLS support

I did not implement the PLS Code Scanner as implemented in EBSpro - it is too slow to go through all possible values from 0 to 262143 (Gold 0 = OFF).

As an example: if it takes 1 second to test each code, starting at 1, it would take 174526/3660 = 48 hours to find this code - two days!

My Edision OS Mio+ 4K can find PLS codes automatically. So, I think there is no point in this scanner. It is preferable to use a tuner that can determine the PLS code instead of trying all combinations.
 
@Joolz and EnoSat: I will look AltDVB export later.
 
New Version:

VMA Stream Reader
- First feature complete version
- Correct DX reports for terrestrial modulations
- Bug fixes

With this version I consider the software "finished", apart from possible bug fixes and optimizations.

I believe I added all required features:

- Support for DVB-S/S2/T/T2/C/ISBN-T (I don't own a compatible TBS device that is ATSC capable)
- Frequency based blind scan (the user inputs the frequency)
- Spectrum based blind scan (the used double-clicks the spectrum)
- Automatic Blindscan using 2 methods plus optional additional search algorithm
- DX reports (spectrum based and list based): these can be saved and loaded
- Automatic comparative DX report (comparing new/lost transponders: first against last or each against previous)
- Long term signal monitoring
- Spectrum measurements
- Support for external spectrum analyser (SMA/NWT4000 and Siglent SSA series)
- Support for TBS6903X (and similar cards)
- Transponder list export
- Streaming of the locked Transport Stream to external applications - preferrably VMA Transport Stream Analyser
- Support for UDP and TCP streaming
- Satellite management with automatic tuner selection
- Possibility to load different streamreader.dll versions
- Full Log
- (Incomplete) visual accessibility features (speech output)

Take a well earned rest. Very nicely done.
 
Thanks, @vma. :Y
Tests at 19.2E on the three UHDs, 10994 H, 22000, 2/3.8PSK, and running smoothly Video/Audio in Mosaic.

VMA Transport Stream Analyser
- Clicking on one of the services will open a window rendering the program
- Increased the initial scanning time out from 2000ms to 4000ms - was to short for some transponders

This works for both TV and Radio services.

More than one Window can be opened, but note that these Windows are concurrent with VMA Mosaic.
