Team, I constantly update my configuration once a week to keep up to date with the latest TVE3 enhancements.

However, this weekend (see SVN numbers above) I found that TV channel tuning requests are often taking about 7 seconds and often time out..

I looked at the logs and there are now a number of PMT errors which I believe are causing the timeouts.. Has the code for processing PMTs changed lately? There may be a problem with Aussie transmissions.

I haven't updated my dvb-t and dvb-s card drivers in months.. but last time I looked they're all on the latest and stable versions..

I only noticed this problem after upgrading from TVServer build 17685 to 18105. Note I haven't tried the new installer builds as yet.

Cheers
erosco

Stupid me.. forgot the logs.. here they are..

TV-Server Version: SVN 18341
MediaPortal Version: 0.2.3.0 + SVN 18341
MediaPortal Skin: bluetwo wide
Windows Version: XP Pro SP2, dvbfix
CPU Type: C2D, E6750
HDD: Samsung HD501LJ
Motherboard: GA-P35-DS3P
Video Card: Gigabyte HD 2600 XT
Video Card Driver: Catalyst 8.3
1. TV Card: Technotrend S2-3200
1. TV Card Type: DVB-S2
1. TV Card Driver: 5.0.0.12
MPEG2 Video Codec: DScaler
MPEG2 Audio Codec: DScaler
Satelite/CableTV Provider: Astra

I can confirm this, got exactly the same issue here.
Starting TV takes about 15 seconds but the first channel works. When trying to change the channel I get after 15seconds the following error message (gilt translation: "Cant start Timeshift No Audio/Video detected")
I get some strange lines in the logs:

Code:

Set descriptor data with length 3
PROBLEM : descriptor lengths dont match 7 10
TechnoTrend IsCamReady(): IsCamPresent:True, IsCamReady:False

I dont have any CAM module!

First time I recognized this issue was after upgrading to SVN from 21-03-08. I made a clean install (uninstalling tvserver, client, delete db ...)

thanks in advance

gefluegelsch and others,

I've just updated to the latest SVNs TVE3 18341 and MP 18279 and my problem has been resolved.

Cheers erosco

First I thought my problem is solved but after restarting my system I get the same errors.
I'm really desperate.

Hi erosco,

keep in mind that you need to update both component, MP and TV3, to the same svn.

There have been a few posts about tuning problems with technotrends, mostly they seem to point back at using the last of the 4xxx drivers cured the problems.

Might be worth a try

gefluegelsch · 2008-04-01, 19:19

It's definitively no driver problem.
The strange thing is, when I install the latest SVN it works till reboot...I'm on the verge of reformat and reinstall

edit: After reboot I tried Stop Service -> Start Service in tv server config it works but this can't be the way of watching tv...
