Can anyone suggest what I can do here?  To me this looks like a v4l-dvb

Hi again

The problem is following the TT-2300-C card, not the cam or smartcard.  And 
it's fine on the TT-1500 Budget card.

It's really weird.  It's only the Movies channel affected, and each time I 
tune to it get about 1 second of picture then "NO SIGNAL".

The "NO SIGNAL" coincides with the "GetDevice" message.


Any ideas?

Here what you could try:

- swap the CAMs
- use only one CAM at a time
- try the CAMs with either of the DVB cards

If it makes any difference, I'm running vdr-1.6.0 with a budget TT-1500-C 
(with Alpha Multicrypt) and a FF TT-2300-C (also with Alpha Multicrypt).
The card failing on this channel is the FF one (other card is tied up 
recording on another transponder)

only seems to be failing with a single channel - other encrypted channels 
within the same boquet work fine

works:
UKTV;T:674000:C0M64:C:6900:1310+1210:1410=eng:0:606:810:182:8:0

I will try to debug it more. The same channel works with VDR 1.4.7 so  
the CAM works. Also with 1.6.0-1 all other encrypted channels that  
I've access works with that CAM, so there is something in that one  
channel which causes problems with 1.6.0-1. But I will report again  
when I get some more data.

Looks like there are no more unexpected CAM resets, so the reason for the
"channel not available" must be something else. Maybe the CAM doesn't
decrypt?

You could add some debug output to cDevice::Action() to see whether
the TS packets are getting descrambled. Maybe the TS_SCRAMBLING_TIMEOUT
needs to be increased.

You could add some debug outputs to

cDevice::GetDevice(const cChannel *Channel, int Priority, bool LiveView)

to find out why it thinks that channel 9 is not available.

Your CAM seems to "come and go".
Please try the 1.6.0-1 maintenance patch from

   ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.6.0-1.diff

which increases the time between the CAM status checks.

Re: [vdr] vdr-1.6.0 channel not available

2008-04-27 Thread Tero Siironen


Simon Baxter kirjoitti 24.4.2008 kello 10.08:


Hello

I have 2x DVB-C cards with Alphacrypt multi-cams.  A TT-1500-C  
budget card and a TT-2300-C FF card and run vdr-xine.


When recording one channel and attempting to watch another in the  
same transport stream, or trying to switch to another transport  
stream (and hence card) I get "channel not available" messages.   
After switching back and forth to other transport streams, usually I  
can overcome this problem.  But occasionally I it won't play any  
channels in one specific transport stream or another.


What's the best way to diagnose this?  How do I enable debugging to  
see more info than is displayed in messages:

Hi,

I don't know if this is same problem or not but I'm having similar  
symptoms with one encrypted channel. With plain VDR 1.6.0 I cannot  
tune to that channel, while 1.4.7 works. As can be seen from the log,  
the receiving starts from couple of seconds but stops right after  
giving this channel not available message. My system has DVB-C 2.1 FF  
card and Satelco Easywatch budget card. All the other encrypted  
channels works ok, but this one channel has problems with VDR 1.6.0.


Here's the channels.conf entry:

EuroNews;GlobeCast:306000:C0M128:C:6875:2221:2232=eng,2233=deu,
