get_pmt timeout unless having watched unscrambled channel first #25

On a new start of VDR/after not having watched a channel for a while (i.e. having other media playing in the XBMC frontend), I end up getting the 'DVBAPI-Error: get_pmt: read_sections: read error: Connection timed out' result (as in /issues/16), unless watching an unscrambled channel on the same switch port first.

I tried increasing the timeout to 6 seconds, however it does not help.

I'm using a bit of a weird tuner (DVBSky USB - cheap Chinese stuff :), so I guess it's somewhat of an edge case here, but a theory on this would be nice.

Hi! I think it could be even a driver problems. To be sure - can you revert one commit and rebuild? Please do: git revert 8fb65973

got same issue (ddbridge) .. old one (1.0.3) with problem after system start getting the same error above, restarting vdr helped until next rebbot. I was trying the latest commit with getpmt brach, not working at all. Reverting to your mentioned revision git revert 8fb6597 helped. Seems it works well now. Thanks!

No further input from issue author for almost half year, closing. I believe that such errors are just because hardware/driver/diseqc/tune problems, not the wrong source code for obtaining PMT data (which is similar as in linuxtv-dvb-apps).
