[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 730034, member: 17886"] [b]Re: AW: DigitalDevices Dual DVB-S2 Testing (CAM/DiSEqC)[/b] Hi Morpheus, after sorting out some stability problems with my RAM sticks (very nasty...), there is now one (minor) stability problem left, which seems to be connected with my Digital Devices Duoflex CT. I'm using: DD Duoflex CT (with old PCIe-Bridge, not Octopus LE) DD CI Module with Alphacrypt Classic Win 7, x64 DD Driver 2.1.1.33-x64 CAM assigned to both tuners MP 1.1.3 with your Patch Settings in MPServer-Config: CAM enabled: checked for both tuners Card used for EPG grabbing: checked for both tuners Allow this card to be preloaded: checked for both tuners Network provider: generic (both tuners) DVB-EPG/always try to fill holes: checked DVB-EPG/always try to update existing entries: checked DVB-EPG/enable crc check: checked DVB-EPG/EPG-Grabbing while timeshifting / recording: enabled (2 mins) DVB-EPG/EPG-Grabbing while idle: enabled (10 mins, 240 mins) DVB-EPG/TV EPG-Grabber only enabled for channels contained in my cable subscription. Problem description: Watching and recording works for all channels - scrambled and unscrambled, SD and HD. Never had any problems while watching TV. EPG-Grabbing in general also works for all channels. However, very sporadically, my whole system freezes while grabbing EPG while idle. No BSOD, nothing, it just freezes and I have to hard reset. It does not happen while grabbing a specific channel, it may happen while grabbing any channel. Last time it took three days while I was not at home (and therefore not using MP at all) until my system froze (TVServer-logs attached). It does not seem to happen if I switch off "EPG-Grabbing while idle" (although it is hard to say, because even if this is switched on, it may take several days until it happens. Anyway, without EPG while idle, the system was stable for a week). The last entry in my Windows-System-Eventlog before the freeze contained in the attached logs was: 03.04.2011 21:52:22: Device 201:40000 Tune success DVBC filter 2 I've also found some posts which indicate that this may have something to do with EPG-grabbing while idle with DD Duoflex cards: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-development-no-feature-request-here-48/digitaldevices-dual-dvb-s2-testing-cam-diseqc-82416/index11.html#post641124[/url] [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/tv-streaming-480/digitaldevices-cine-s2-welche-treiberversion-funktioniert-am-besten-92890/index2.html#post709412[/url] My question is simple (but probably not easy to answer): Is this related to (a) MP EPG-Grabbing while idle in general, (b) MP EPG-Grabbing while idle with DD cards, (c) DD driver or (d) DD hardware? If it is option (d), this would be very important for me, because I'm still using the "old" PCIe-Bridge and I'm still within my warranty period. If changing the old PCIe-Bridge to a Octopus LE would solve the problem, I would return the card and try to get the latter one. If it's only related to MP, I'm glad to wait until it is sorted out (maybe already in 1.2b?). It's not too much of a problem to reset my htpc every couple of days, the only annoying thing is that after the reset my MySQL-DB is corrupted and I have to drop and rebuild it (probably because MP is trying to insert some EPG data into the db while the system freezes). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all your work, Michael [/QUOTE]
