We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The biggest one is that the MythTV developers have turned their efforts to newer versions and and are no longer fixing bugs on this version of MythTV. The Mythbuntu team has builds of newer versions of MythTV available on a PPA if you are interested in upgrading. Please follow the directions at http://mythbuntu.org/repos to enable them. Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer versions. ** Changed in: mythbuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683118 Title: i2c errors with af9015 / tda18271 (V4L DVB) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/683118/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 683118] Re: i2c errors with af9015 / tda18271 (V4L DVB)
homerun, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags: kernel-unable-to-test-upstream kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

[Bug 683118] Re: i2c errors with af9015 / tda18271 (V4L DVB)
Just a further note for anyone else affected by this bug - whilst there is definitely a driver issue (in my opinion) with the af9015 which relates to an inability to recover from tuning errors and is therefore more of an issue for people exposed to low signal strength, I have managed to work around this in my particular situation as follows: 1) Under the MythTV backend settings, under Capture Cards, for each tuner card, I have set the Tuning Timeout (ms) to the maximum allowed (15000), and under the Tuning Options screen set the DVB tuning delay (ms) to 2000. 2) In addition, under the Input Connections, I have the "Use Quick Tuning" set to "Always". 3) Lastly, this set up seems to work *much* more reliably with the 4.65 firmware than the 4.95 firmware. I hope this helps others. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683118 Title: i2c errors with af9015 / tda18271 (V4L DVB) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I note another reference to the same issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg10886.html I am happy to assist in debug, but would need instruction. I should also note that I have tried firmwares 4.65 and 4.95 (which is the one I generally use and have had the most success with). Is Antti Palosaari doing any work on these drivers any more?

[Bug 683118] Re: i2c errors with af9015 / tda18271 (V4L DVB)
I have the same problem. HW is Leadtek WinFast DTV Dongle Gold running on Ubuntu 10.10 and 2.6.35-27. The tuners used to be quite reliable, so something has changed. The tuners do run ok for a random amount of time (up to 24 hours), but then once the error messages below turn up in syslog the tuners will not work again without being unplugged and replugged. The issue occurs on first tuning the tuner to record a programme (via MythTV). This suggests to me that the issue is perhaps being caused by a poor signal, but the driver is not then reacting to that error correctly, which leaves the tuner in a state which it is unable to recover from. Just conjecture, but I am hoping this helps. Below is an extract of syslog with the relevant messages (these are repeated many multiples of times).
