PID selection Minitiouner via Portsdown 2020

Post by PA3GUO » Fri May 03, 2024 6:22 pm

Usecase:
Minituner hardware connected via USB to a Portsdown 2020 (3.5inch). Control via the touchscreen.

How can I select another PID from a received station?

(Our local repeater pi6ehv broadcasts multiple streams in its 5000ks signal, minituner now selects the default / first discovered PID)

Thanks
Henk

Hi Henk

That feature is not available on the Portsdown 2020. It is available on the Portsdown 4 (Receive menu, Config, TS Video Channel).

You could manually modify the lmvlcff.sh script to play a specific channel, but it would be quite a lot of work to add the option to select it from the touchscreen.

Sadly, I do not have the spare time to make major feature updates to the Portsdown 2020 at the moment.

Thanks for the fast reply Dave.

Good to know its not available, so I dont keep on searching for a non-existing menu option.

I guess this means for now I will skip this use-case.
No worry!

Best regards
