[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 731338, member: 17886"] @ vasilich: Sorry, completely overlooked that you have a Cine S2... @ Nybbe67: Congratulations! Back to the tests: I repeatet Test 14 as described above.This time it crashed SetupTV after about 2:10h. But the good thing is: no system freeze! Details as follows: Stress test with group "favourite fta channels". Succeeded 2.784, Failed 60, Total 1.824, Avg mSec: 2.453, 1st fail: 3. All failed tunes are "no video/audio detected" as described above. Although this test didn't meet my personal "stable-criterion" as described above, I was too curious to once again repeat this test because at least there have been no system freezes so far. There was a suspicion in my mind, which I wanted to be confirmed. And I was right... Test 15: setup as described in Test 14, but SetupTV / TVServers: CAM enabled and present for this cards: checked for tuner 1, unchecked for tuner 2 Stress test with "favourite fta channels" group: COMPLETE SYSTEM FREEZE after about 0:40 Succeeded 789, Failed 26, Total 815, Avg mSec: 2.713, 1st fail: 29. Summary: The system freeze only happens when I have CAM enabled for at least one tuner in SetupTV. The system freeze is reproduceable in that case. The system freeze happens even if the stress test only tunes unscrambled channels ("favourite fta channels" group). Assigning the CI-Module to a tuner in DD config tool does not lead to a system freeze as long as I don't assign the CAM to that tuner in SetupTV. Conclusion: I'm not a programmer (any more) but my conclusion is that there must be different calls to the DD-driver in MP code for all channels (fta and scrambled) depending on whether a CAM is enablet in SetupTV or not. This different code handling - at least for me - leads to the system freezes. That means, unfortunately, that my problem seems to be different from Vasilich's problem. I have no clue, yet, where the SetupTV crashes come from, when I don't have any CAM enabled in SetupTV. However, with no CAM enabled in SetupTV, it is reproduceable that I only have crashes of SetupTV, whereas with CAM enabled in SetupTV, I don't get crashes, but system freezes. Morpheus: Does the above ring any bell for you? Are there any calls to the DD driver for fta channels, which are only made when a CAM is assigned in SetupTV, but not, if there is no CAM assigned? What I could still do is assign the CAM in SetupTV and make a stress test with a group of only scrambled channels. Maybe it is specificallly connected to tuning fta channels with tuners, which have assigned a CAM... Michael ------------------------------------ Test 16 was quick: Setup as in Test 15, but DD-Config-Tool: CI-Module assigned to both tuners SetupTV / TVServers: CAM enabled and present for this cards: checked for both tuners stress test with a group consisting of ONLY THE SCRAMBLED CHANNELS of my favourite channels group. COMPLETE SYSTEM FREEZE after about 0:07h. Succeeded 256, Failed 0, Total 256, Avg mSec: 1.694 Conclusion: It doesn't make a difference if I tune to scrambled channels or fta channels. The only thing that makes a difference is the "CAM enabled and present for this cards" option in SetupTV. The only thing I can do for now is repeat the tests with "CAM enabled and present for this cards" (a) checked for both tuners and (b) unchecked for both tuners to reproduce the system freeze some more times. I don't know what else I could do. Any suggestions? Shall I post some more logs for (a) and (b)? Is there a "debug log option" for TVServer as well so that the logs contain some more info? Any comment is really appreciated. I'm running out of ideas... Thanks, Michael -------------------------------------------------------------- My whole theory just got destroyed: I got a system freeze with CI-Module assigned to both tuners in DD config tool, but no CAM assigned to any tuner in SetupTV. I'm still convinced that it has something to do with those two options in DD config tool and SetupTV. Will report back later with a more systematic approach regarding those options... [/QUOTE]
