[no Bug] LiveTV: DVB-T decoded channels stop after ~5 secs (1 Viewer)

[DizzieNL]

I recently upgraded from RC2 to RC3. Today I noticed that TV is not working properly. I have a FloppyDTV DVB-T card, and have 3 free-to-air channels and about 20 decoded channels. The free-to-air channels are working properly, however when I tune to a decoded channel LiveTV stops after about 5 seconds. MP does not freeze on this, and I can tune back to a FTA channel.

In 1.1.0 RC2 (and all previous version of MP I used) this has never been an issue.

I added logs, and system specs.

Extra info on how I installed RC3: I used the update option, however the TV Server did not update properly. I uninstalled the TV server and deleted the directories, and then reinstalled a clean TV Server (leaving MP itself intact, for the sake of keeping all settings'. On first note, the TV server was working correctly after the reinstall, untill I discovered the not working decoded channels.

What is your timeshifting EPG grabber timeout set to? Don't know if it is a coincidence but each time the timeshifting EPG grabber seems to start directly.

And could you please upload as less as possible logging with the a couple error and a couple OK scenarios? It is currently huge so not very good analyzable.

EPG grabbing while timeshifting is enabled, with a timeout set to 2 minutes.

I will try to get cleaner logs (sorry - first time reporting a problem) - however I thought I already made a short sequence of running MP in debugmode, entering liveTV - zap to a decoded channel and wait untill it stops. Could you give me a direction on how to make it more readable for you?

Edit: added two logs. First a cycle with a decoded channel doesn't even start LiveTV at all this time, second a FTA channel working properly.

Delete the logs first.

OOh btw: You forgot to enable actually showing your system specs

Logging is still quite big (better to turnoff tv server and MP, delete logs, start it all and test) but by guessing the time you tested i found it.

It logs a lot of:

23-05-2010 22:32:46.304 [ff0]Pes 0-0-1 fail

This means you have decryption problems. What kind of decryption method are you using?

 

[DizzieNL]

Sorry for the logs. Made the new ones just before your advice to actually delete the old logfiles

I'm not sure because it is already two years ago I bought this CAM-module. I think it is an Alphacrypt module - standard CAM for decrypting Digitenne in the Netherlands.

I added some new logs with this post - now hopefully more clean. In this case first I get no signal at all at the decoded channel RTL4, then I zapped to the decoded channel RTL5 and got about 10s of LiveTV then it stopped again.

Thanks for your support btw!

No Bug

Thanks Riksmith for helping looking at the logs. Although I did not change anything in driver-setup or something, it seems that it was a driver/hardware issue of my FloppyDTV.

If the issue comes back I'll have another look at the Mediaportal logs, but for know it looks like it is not MP-related.

No problem. I set the thread to "no bug" as requested.
