"Removing from ens" message from wrong ensemble

[andimik]

I wonder why I got the following message on the console:

    Removing from ens E0A101: Radio Sraka SID = 0xE4943D, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: MMR SID = 0xE49456, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Radio Maxi SID = 0xE49428, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Radio Maribor SID = 0xE49426, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Radio Krka SID = 0xE49423, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Radio Celje SID = 0xE49413, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Radio Ptuj SID = 0xE49434, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Antena Celje SID = 0xE4965E, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Radio Murski Val SID = 0xE4942A, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Koroski Radio SID = 0xE49452, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Stajerski Val SID = 0xE4943F, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Radio Aktual Kum SID = 0xE49443, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E0A101: Radio Velenje SID = 0xE49448, SCIdS = 0

as these services are all on Slovenian

Ensemble:
0x9300 SLO DAB+ R2 E [ SLO R2 E ] ECC = 0xE4, UTC 60 min, INT = 1, alarm announcements = 0

and not on Austrian Bundesmux

Ensemble:
0xA101 DAB+ Austria [ DAB+ A ] ECC = 0xE0, UTC 60 min, INT = 1, alarm announcements = 0

[andimik]

I could reproduce it. It has to do with toggling between the muxes (Radio Antena and Bob)

Now the message says:

    Removing from ens E49400: Radio Sraka SID = 0xE4943D, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: MMR SID = 0xE49456, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Radio Maxi SID = 0xE49428, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Radio Maribor SID = 0xE49426, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Radio Krka SID = 0xE49423, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Radio Celje SID = 0xE49413, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Radio Ptuj SID = 0xE49434, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Antena Celje SID = 0xE4965E, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Radio Murski Val SID = 0xE4942A, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Koroski Radio SID = 0xE49452, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Stajerski Val SID = 0xE4943F, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Radio Aktual Kum SID = 0xE49443, SCIdS = 0
    Removing from ens E49400: Radio Velenje SID = 0xE49448, SCIdS = 0

which is not existing there, but on E49300.

[KejPi]

What device do you use?

[andimik]

RTL Stick.

[KejPi]

Connected directly or over TCP-IP?

[andimik]

Direct

[KejPi]

Hmm, interesting, I cannot reproduce this behavior. Could you please share more details?

I have understood that you switch 2 services each from different ensemble and during switching you see these messages. Is any of that 2 services in both ensembles? Is service list broken after switch?

Maybe sharing video would help again.

[andimik]

A video won't help you. I just saw this message in the console. The list of services was looking good.

I know that it has to do with weak signals, but I wonder why AbracaDABra mixed up the ensembles...

[KejPi]

Yes, mixing of the IQ data was my idea too, that is why I have asked about device. It should not happen when RTLSDR is used directly because I always stop the stream and then I start it again to avoid mixing of data. This is unfortunately making tune slower but I have not found better way to avoid mixing of the stream. On the other hand it should be safe unless the underlying layer is leaving old data in buffers and sending them on new start. I will try to reproduce the issue on Linux, on Mac it does not happen. I was trying to switch 2 services from 2 different ensembles many times and it did not happen. I assume you compiled the latest version from repository on Linux, you are not using AppImage, correct?

[andimik]

I am always referring to the latest commit, which I am compiling myself.

[KejPi]

This is what I have in terminal output under Ubuntu 22.04 when switching between Classic Praha and Expres FM. Both are in both ensembles, I ma switching between Classic @ 7C and Express @ 7A. There is obviously no problem.

[KejPi]

Do you use RTL-SDR from Ubuntu installation or do you compile it by yourself from this repository https://github.com/old-dab/rtlsdr ?

[andimik]

I am using the version from Ubuntu.

But I also fear this is a timing issue. Maybe you should check the function which is writing this wrong text to the console.

https://github.com/KejPi/AbracaDABra/blob/c3dc1e6680a22c5088e63180acf3e73418ba5da1/gui/servicelist.cpp#L315

[KejPi]

I can remove the message but this does not solve the issue. I let it there by purpose to be able to detect these situations. I was asking about the rtl-sdr version because I was playing with old-dab's rtlsdr yesterday and saw this issue under MacOS so I was curious if we both use the same libraries under Ubuntu.

[andimik]

Just had the same message with Airspy, so this is not related to the dongle.

9200 is Slovenian DAB, not Austria ...

Could you add a debug message when tuning to a block (like tuning to block xxx) and service (playing Radio xxx).

[andimik]

This is an interesting screenshot. Found 2 ensembles (6A and 8A, both DAB+ Austria), but only shows one line this time.

Seems this may cause the above mentioned issue as both blocks have 32 services in total, not 16.

Normally, both blocks are listed here.

[KejPi]

I have added the messages in e6598e5e77828878de4767c087887f1ed94aac11 Do you have any test case to reproduce the issue or it is more like random?

[andimik]

I fear it's more like random.
