TBS Lock issue #22

Closed kingofcamel closed 10 years ago

kingofcamel commented 10 years ago

Hi i have 2 6981 tuners in my system, only the first tuner of every card is working fine with dvbloopback, the second tuner of every card gets only a lock at fta

mythtv is the media solution ;-) Ubuntu tried with 3.11, 3.13 and 3.5, still same error

Any hints ?

Regards

You may want to try Debian Stable (a.k.a Wheezy) with the default stock kernel. And by all means, do compile mythtv yourself, don't use any packages. They usually suck bigtime.

bas-t commented 10 years ago

While you're at it, I suggest to use my stable branch of mythtv 0.26. Up to now, that's the best you can get.

kingofcamel commented 10 years ago

Thanks for the very quick reply :-) !!! My database is .27 now, so i must stay at this version I will install wheezy on another machine, compile myth from source an will test

bas-t commented 10 years ago

If you suffer from a locking issue, as you stated, your best option is still reverting to my stable/0.26 branch. Of course that means loosing all of your recordings, but since you're going to test this on another machine, it may be well worth a shot.

Oh, forgot to mention: install TBS drivers per: http://www.lursen.org/wiki/Install_TBS_drivers

kingofcamel commented 10 years ago

:-) I'm just installing debian 7 64 bit on an HP N40L microserver. I will follow exactly the instructions on the page and using your myth repo.

But my wife will kill me for the "lost recordings" (but i have a idea for downgrading my recordings)

I Will keep you informed

Yeah, it allways boiles down to the WAF, why are we such pussys? Please don't answer that...

Having installed TBS drivers, you'll have to compile FFdecsawrapper against it:

./configure --dvb_dir=/usr/src/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers/linux

Hi Finally i have sone some compiling stuff, checked my dish, all the cables, tested another pc, kernels, Myth versions and settings ... The issue stays with the tbs driver for the 2nd tuner at 6981, ffdecsawrapper is working fine

This is the message shown in ffdecsawrapper when 2nd tuner requested: May 1 14:17:53.821 demux: Opened fd: 4=23 mode: 104002 May 1 14:17:53.821 demux: Got command 44 (size: 36) May 1 14:17:53.821 demux: ioctl on (23) returned: 0 May 1 14:17:53.821 CHANNEL: Sending PID: 20 May 1 14:17:53.821 : DMX_SET_PES_FILTER(23): pid:20 in:FRONTEND out:TS_TAP type:OTHER flags: IMMEDIATE_START and mythtv is only showing TL___

I will try the "free" tbs driver at ljalves/linux_media at github Wish me some luck :-)

I'm not familiar with FFdecsawrapper log when using dvb-s/s2 Is the output as expected (like when you are tuning with a first tuner?) Are you using stable/0.26 (or what other version) In 0.27, I' ve seen lots of TL___, and it would still tune and record correctly. One way of improving this, is to compile FFdecsawrapper with --tsbuffer=4096 It should not be needed though, but you can try.

Best of luck!

Finally its working :-) after some time and some beer :-D

2x 2 HD German Sky (full) and NL (organge card, no HD) at astra 19.2 and 1 sd tuner (FTA mode) at astra 23.5 for omrop friesland (my wife)

I've done 3.13.11 patch and recompile, using TBS Driver 140323 and setting high timeout values in Myth 0.27

I think the final solve of this issue was the driver release and a tuning timeout from 1000ms

... and thanks for your great work with ffdecsawrapper

Congretulations! Now go celebrate the restored WAF, with your wife of course.

Closing this one now.
