TVSERVER: running recordings will be interrupted - "Discontinuity header bit set!" (1 Viewer)

[rue]

Hi I additionally have to come back to this issue.

Meanwhile I am using MP 1.7 RC since a while and I have this issue "up and running".

Today I had the chance to collect something - might be it helps to get for an answer or bugfix.

As reported I currently use two different kind of adapters: TBS6928 (which is a PCIe one) and Pinnacle 460e (which is an USB one) together on the sam PC. The USB device will be powered off by Win 8.1 (measured it) completely to prevent from stick based side effects.

For today I had 2 recording on different programs scheduled - one 1:15 pm (13:15) on "Disney Channel/Pocahontas II", which is 576i/p@MPEG2|@ASTRA and the second one, which was "Independence Day" on SAT.1 (576i/p@MPEG2@ASTRA).

Situation based Disney Channel has a different transponder than SAT.1 .. for this the first recording came up on TBS 6928 and was running fine up to the moment the second recording was started. For the second recording at 2:05pm (14:05) the Pinnacle 460e was used.

So far ... everything fine ... just with the beginning of the second recording the continuity check errors on both streams came up. Before at the time only the TBS will be used - there was no problem.

As a result the TSWriter is not able to write any significant (and snesefull) data to the disc. The number of discontiunations seems to be so high that now valid stream can be exist jumping over that time frame. In this case you will find on the disc for the first (good starting record) a perfect file up to the point "on damage" and after this only fragments. For "ID4" it results to a file of about 200 MB.

I send you the logfiles as an attachment, please be gentle and verify it - just tell me where I am wrong, or give me an idea for a next step. TVService.log and TSWriter.log will have the appropriate informations.

best regards and thanks in advance

I can't tell what is causing the continuity errors, but they are happening every 3-4 seconds and only on the second (460e) tuner - there are no errors in the TsWriter log for the first (TBS) tuner. The two tuners are being handled by separate instances of TsWriter, so it's unlikely to be direct TsWriter - TsWriter interaction.

Have you got any software running that might be doing something every few seconds on USB (or causing CPU spikes etc.) ?

Hi again!

No - I don't have - and I have the newest one drivers from Pinnacle installed.

The problem is you can see it the other way round, too - if the pinnacle is recording everything is running fine.

In the moment a second recording on the TBS ist starting I am running in the same nice feature, but seen from the other side of the edge.

I wonder what happens if I place a dual channel TBS inside the system .... but hae currently no one.

The only problematic thing I know is the chipset and the board itself - this is a '77 chipset (DH77DF) from Intel.
With this I have troubles initializing the PCIe slot/TV cards, but this is a "start-up" problem of the chipset or BIOS. Once the card is recognized it will run.

So in the past I had lesser problems with the USBs on this board .. that I was was going with the Pinnacle USB grabbers.

Thanks and best regards

Hi and good morning!

Yesterday I received the new card TBS 6991 SE (double tuner, new release).

For the first impression everything seem work fine, but later on the sam problem came up again - but it will not longer be necessary to have multiple log-on's to the card.

The signal itself was fine at this time - I viewed the program using my normal TV on a different SAT line.

This all is very strange - can it be TSWriter is a bit extreme critical, now?

I can't remember having those problem with 1.3 ... but I can be wrong.

Meanwhile I removed all parasitic "APPS" from Win 8.1 and go on this way.

If you have an idea what I can check in addition - let me know.

For the moment I can say: it is not depending on the receiver card.

best regards

Sorry - I don't have any ideas about what might be going on here.

Hello again Ruediger

You said that the problem does not exist with MP 1.5 PR, but it exists with MP 1.5 final. Are you very sure about that...(?)... because the changes in TV Server between 1.5 PR and final are minimal. It would be much more likely that we introduced a problem in the PR (Tony, this was the TsWriter deadlock fix release)... but even then I'm not yet convinced this is a software problem.

You asked for suggestions. A good test would be to see if the problem also occurs in other software.

Aside from that, I can only go back to the basics.

Causes of these sorts of problems are most commonly signal strength/quality related. Remember signal can be too strong as well as too weak. Are you 100% certain your signal quality is good? Have you tried taking out the multiswitch?

If not signal then then HDD stress is the next most common.

If not that, the cause could be much more exotic - overheating, OS/hardware power saving technologies, power supply in general, DPC latency (bad drivers)... things of that nature.

One other thing to note:

I viewed the program using my normal TV on a different SAT line.

This does not mean that the signal will be okay for your PC tuners. Tuners have different specifications and characteristics. One tuner might be okay while another is really not "happy".

It would be much more likely that we introduced a problem in the PR (Tony, this was the TsWriter deadlock fix release)...

Yes, I had mused on that, but if there was a general problem we would have been snowed under with bug reports months ago....

power saving technologies

Good thought - we have had a few users report problems in the past (not always with TV Server) where dynamic power saving 'switching' has caused issues - might be worth taking a look at Windows power settings (but I wouldn't put this at the top of the list of things to try).
