No Picture when starting oscam after VDR #28

Closed MegaV0lt closed 11 years ago

MegaV0lt commented 11 years ago

When OSCam starts after VDR i have no picture until i switch to a different channel. This is fatal when a recordin is triggered!

PS: what pmtmode is the best? I use VDR on amd system

Hello The connection to camd.socket is checked with every channel zap (and also with every starting a recording). The only problem currently is that if oscam is lost during watching a channel there is no reconnection attempt, but a channel zap is fixing this. I'd like to see your logs where you have this issue when a recording is started. pmt_mode should be 4

ps. next time please always paste your logs with a pastebin

MegaV0lt commented 11 years ago

Ok PMT Mode is 4. Is it possible to add an mechanism to dvbapi to check the connection to camd.socket?

manio commented 11 years ago

Currently it's hard due to software implementation and vdr which is triggering CAM only when starting/stopping a PID or channel. I'll think of it...

MegaV0lt commented 11 years ago

You may also contact klaus atb vdrportal or tvdr.de. Maybe together you find a easy way...

3PO commented 11 years ago

any news?

manio commented 11 years ago

Sorry guys, I am very busy last time. I'll look into it when i have some time. Anyway - this issue is of course worth to fix but IMHO it's not critical. Restarting oscam when watching live tv is a rare case, and every channel zap or start a recording will fix (reconnect) this problem anyway.

manio commented 11 years ago

Good news: I just did initial support for reconnecting to oscam :) Currently I am testing it locally, I'll create a branch for testing soon...

manio commented 11 years ago

Guys, please check the staging branch. Awaiting your opinions.

3PO commented 11 years ago

Hi, it seems, it work not. :(

i've tested it as follow:

  1. switched to an encrypted channel (-> works fine)
  2. started the femon plugin and switched to an other DVB Card -> result: no picture (black screen)
manio commented 11 years ago

This patch doesn't work with switching a dvbcards in the femon plugin. Try to restart oscam when watching a tv.

3PO commented 11 years ago

Restarting oscam with a running vdr on a crypted Channel works fine now without rezapp. :) 1000 THX

Can you please provide a Patch for the "switching DVB Cards Problem"?

manio commented 11 years ago

Please pastebin a dvbapi log when you're using this function from femon.

manio commented 11 years ago

I can't get anything unusual from your log. You're switching from device 0 to which one?

3PO commented 11 years ago

Here is an other log.

I've commanted the point a switched from Devive0 to Device1.

I think i know what is wrong here - but i need to talk with Rolf...

manio commented 11 years ago

@3PO Rolf will probably look into it on femon plugin side. Please contact him directly or mail me if you have questions. As this issue is fixed, merging it upstream and closing.
