Just upgraded the client to your version...and it still works.

So not sure what the issue is with the client that is not working

Bit off topic but I guess related..

Don't suppose theres a listing of Sky channels available anywhere? I'm sure I'm missing some and some of stopped broadcasting? I guess these builds can't add the channels automatically?

Thanks!

PS not tried the 1.3.0a build yet as I found limited support in my skins but soon hopefully!

Hi there,

Had an issue with no free tuners...when infact I have 4

Not sure if its related to this 1.3.0A issue: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/no-cards-available.109338/

Or whether its specific to this version?

Issue happened 30/07/12 at 15:52

Cheers,

J.

Not sure... It could be a problem with the new ticket reservation system. Please could you post your full logs? (including tswriter.log and epg.log).

It looks like the channel tunes okay but then immediately cancels for some reason.

The problems at just before 3:52pm are unlikely to be card reservation issues. They're more likely tuner [driver] issues:

dvb: RunGraph returns: 0x80070079

This will cause an exception and which results in the service trying the next tuner. At the time, all of the tuners seemed to be doing this.

Ah sorry I missed that.

Error 0x80070079: The semaphore timeout period has expired

@mm could that be caused by a mutex in tswriter or in a c# callback?

 

[mm1352000]

Good question - never considered that thought!
I guess it is possible that it could be caused by issues with TsWriter starting (there are no callbacks at that stage of the tuning operation). The relevant code in TsWriter.cpp is:

//
// Run
//
// Overriden to open the dump file
//
STDMETHODIMP CMpTsFilter::Run(REFERENCE_TIME tStart)
{
LogDebug("CMpTsFilter::Run()");
  CAutoLock cObjectLock(m_pLock);
 
  return CBaseFilter::Run(tStart);
}

Very simple, but if the lock can't be grabbed then it could be TsWriter. However I'm still suspicious of the driver. I have seen similar symptoms reported with a Mystique SaTiX dual V2 (Digital Devices clone) -->here<--.

Hi guys,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I will keep an eye on it and let you know if it happens again (has never happened before - and wasnt sure if it was a one-off or related to 1.3.0A)

Probably the only way to easily know whether this issue is related to TsWriter would be to add debug logging in the method mentioned above. miroslav22: would you be able to provide Jay_UK with a patched version of your TsWriter?
