OK it seems that the CI slot isn't support by linuxtv drivers. Official drivers seems not to be public.

So your problem is not a tvheadend problem.

Bit of an update on the losing Muxes thing...

It's digital swichover day in the North West UK, today - and I lost all signal. I've had to reconfig all my muxes manually, as the default config is the old version. All at 100% currently, got all my channels back aswell!!

When I checked the status of the muxes in my area before the switchover - they were all on low power. Now they're all on full power (at the transmitter this is) - so maybe the dropping muxes was due to the lower power transmission?? Will keep an eye on this... fingers crossed again.


- leigh103 - 2009-12-03

Muxes have held over night!! Few things I've noticed - the BBC Mux is on 801.833KHz - but the first time I manullay entered it I didn't have the most accurate info and added it as 801.800. The mux started at 100%, added all the services, but then drained away. The other 4 didn't. I also set most of the other settings to auto.

I then found more accurate settings for FEC and other gubbins - aswell as the more accurate freq. and it's held ever since.

Anyway, I'm made up it's working Big Grin ... just hope it holds.

Had a few crashes where tvheadend needed a restart - but I've not installed the latest SVN changes to xbmc yet.

Anyway, my new Mux info (this is for Winterhill UK only) is:

801833 8Mhz QAM64 8K 1/32 None 3/4 3/4
770000 8Mhz QAM64 8K 1/32 None 3/4 3/4
794000 8Mhz QAM64 8K 1/32 None 3/4 3/4
778000 8Mhz QAM64 8K 1/32 None 3/4 3/4
746000 8Mhz QAM64 8K 1/32 None 3/4 3/4

All the settings have been made the same, for all muxes (apart from the freq.). Before the switchover they were all different, but looks like they've unifed it. Also the 6th Mux has been set aside for DVB-T2 - Freeview HD!! Altho there's no DVB-T2 tuners around atm. Anyway, hope someone finds my investigations helpful - I just hope it stays like this.


How to get analog working - pinthenet - 2009-12-03

It seems that the latest version supports analog adapters (as someone mentioned above) but I can't get it to do anything with the cards I've got (2 x PVR150 & 1 x PVR500). They're listed and I can save them but I can't see how to scan for channels.

I'm looking at Tvheadend to replace my Mythtv backend. I'm using XBMC as frontend and I don't need all the funtionality of Myth

Any clues?

I'd love to see this patch merged into the Camelot branch

jeepcook Wrote:A lot of new things in the last XBMC SVNs!!

changed: don't eat first status message from tvheadend
changed: unsubscribe from old channel before subsribing to new one to avoid messages about no transponder available
http://trac.xbmc.org/changeset/25192

The other changes are feature fixes but this one really is addressing a bug and is the last thing preventing me ditching my sat receiver in favour of my XBMC box.

Shame, I can't see it happening now we're at Beta 1. Looks like I'll be ditching the PPA and rolling my own again. ;-)

I have a pretty common segfault on 2.6. Two detailed backtraces are here:

Hope it helps Smile

@apanloco

your probably better off posting here

http://mail.lonelycoder.com/pipermail/hts-devel/2009-December/thread.html

as the tvheadend developers probably dont visit this forum much


- apanloco - 2009-12-05

Thank you! Posted now.

no problem

anyone know how to disable rescanning of muxes every time tvheadend 2.6 starts? idle scanning and autodetect muxes are not ticked

Because its rescanning all the muxes its loosing all the channels that i scanned in previously meaning i have to map them again.

As i had everything setup last night including xmltv, turned off pc and turned it on again this morning and have basically lost everything i spent hours setting up.

Also its a nightmare to use the web interface when your scanning a satellite with 500+ channels, you either get segmentation faults deleting channels you dont want or when its mapping the channels.

I'm giving up until 2.7 is out


- Mike34 - 2009-12-06

Looks like it won't be too long for 2.7 after looking at the relpy on http://mail.lonelycoder.com/pipermail/hts-devel/2009-December/000299.html last night...Big Grin


- catrix - 2009-12-06

My cable provider isnt in the channels list... so how can i make a full scan Huh


- fabioc - 2009-12-06

I also have the same problems as moontan77. Rescanning of muxes every time tvheadend is restarted and segmentation faults during channel mapping which forces you to restart the daemon when it happens. @ the developer: is it possible to disable this feature? With 3 lnbs through diseqc, I also get a few hundreds muxes and thousands of services and it seems like the web interface becomes too sluggish and unresponsive.

I hope these problems will be fixed since I am keen to replace my current mythtv setup with xbmc+tvheadend.

Last, does anyone know how to get the epg on xbmc (if at all possible)? At the moment I only get a long list of channels and tags.

in pm3 skin you can see whats on now in what of the view modes

still the same with 2.7

I cant watch a channel until the scanning has finished (one tuner).
