I see a prior thread on this but I think there is an issue/bug still outstanding. I'm on OpenELEC - Version: 2.99.1 (Frodo RC3) and have the latest version of HTS Tvheadend - 3.3.328~g60371b0. I deleted the TV22.db and Epg.7 to give me a clean start and enabled Tvheadend. This populated the TV and Radio channel lists correctly and gave me a correct EPG display. My situation is pretty simple - one DVB-T multiplex with 6 TV and 10 Radio channels.

I tuned in a radio channel and after about 20 minutes at exactly the top of the hour (17.00) there are entries in the xbmc log which indicate that the channel groups are being updated and resulted in 4 radio channels being deleted from the list and moved into the tv channels group. I did not do this - seemed to be triggered internally. When I look at the Tvheadend web interface the TV and radio channels are correct and unchanged. Only the internal grouping within xbmc is changed. Extract from the xbmc log is below. The full xbmc log is here - http://pastebin.com/88br95h4

EDIT: sorry guys, after upgrading to this version of XBMC 12.0~git20130112.2341-rc3-3precise I can't even watch TV or Radio, all PVR-Plugins are gone, I will opt out as long as I can't help somehow with logs or something...

EDIT-END

Confirmed here, still happens sometimes. I can't reproduce it, it just happens, but I believe that it only happens when I'am watching TV.

My sys-specs are still like in here : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=150455 but with newer XBMC + TVHeadend

My System:
Ubuntu 12.04.01 -- Linux 3.2.0-35-generic x86_64
XBMC (12.0~git20130112.2341-rc3-3precise from wsnipex repo)
TVHeadend: Build: 3.3.357~g1820b61-dirty
DVB-C: Terratec HTC USB
Motherboard+CPU: AMD E-350

Resetting the DB only helps for a short time (can't say exactly how long...)

I think I have identified the circumstance in which the radio channels are being moved into the TV group. It's to do with EIT event handling.

I started with 10 radio channels and 8 TV channels. I now have 17 channels in the TV group, 9 of which are actually radio channels. It seems that when a radio programme ends and a new one begins, the EIT handler in TVheadend generates events as follows:

Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: arm channel timer @ 1358197200 for RTÉ Chill / RTÉ Junior
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: inform HTSP of now event change on RTÉ Chill / RTÉ Junior
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: expire event 1277 from RTÉ Radio 1 Extra
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: now/next 1279/1281 set on RTÉ Radio 1 Extra
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: arm channel timer @ 1358191800 for RTÉ Radio 1 Extra
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: inform HTSP of now event change on RTÉ Radio 1 Extra
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: expire event 2487 from RTÉ Radio 1
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: now/next 2489/2491 set on RTÉ Radio 1
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: arm channel timer @ 1358191800 for RTÉ Radio 1
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: inform HTSP of now event change on RTÉ Radio 1
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: expire event 1587 from RTÉ Pulse
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: now/next 1589/1591 set on RTÉ Pulse
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: arm channel timer @ 1358197200 for RTÉ Pulse
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: inform HTSP of now event change on RTÉ Pulse
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: expire event 1461 from RTÉ Lyric FM
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: now/next 1463/1465 set on RTÉ Lyric FM
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: arm channel timer @ 1358193600 for RTÉ Lyric FM
Jan 14 19:00:00 epg: inform HTSP of now event change on RTÉ Lyric FM

xbmc seems to handle those event changes incorrectly for radio programmes and actually deletes the entries from the "All Radio Channels" group and they are placed into the "All TV Channels" group - although without any EPG information. See below:

etc..etc..

An S3 suspend will re-instate the correct radio and tv channels in their groups, although the EPG data for the originally deleted radio channels is gone. A full re-boot and re-start reinstates the channel groups correctly and the relevant EPG data.

Once the tuner is active and processing EIT data (while you are watching TV or listening to radio) then the radio channels start dropping off as a programme ends.

Using openelec aswell and noticed this today after tvheadend automatically updated to version 3.3.328~g60371b0 overnight.

fat-tony · 2013-01-16, 19:08

Have put a bug report #13982 in the trac system

opdenkamp · 2013-01-17, 02:33

and closed again, trac is not for add-ons (any more). tvheadend is providing invalid data to us if this happens

Ok thanks. It's a bit difficult to judge as a user if new or changed status codes in tvheadend are causing the xbmc client (1.6.10) to corrupt the tv22.db channel group settings. Maybe the client needs more robust checking of status data from tvheadend?

Do I take this error up with adamsutton now?

EDIT - Have actually raised a bug/issue report on lonlycoder!

...and rejected by adamsutton

Issue #1543 has been updated by Adam Sutton.

Status changed from New to Rejected

This is almost certainly not a bug in TVH, but instead a bug in pvr.hts (as noted above and elsewhere) and therefore should be registered accordingly.

I did start to take a look at the pvr.hts code for handling this, but got sidetracked. Please report @ http://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons.

Adam

... this is not easy for a non-developer to report if I have to register on two (and now three) bug reporting systems! Can you take ownership of the issue dushmaniac/opdenkamp?

opdenkamp · 2013-01-17, 16:51

pvr.hts is not doing anything wrong. this is tvheadend that is providing the data to us

Maybe you should have a chat with adamsutton, then - I'm just a user providing detailed info and logging of a problem which has been rejected by both ends of the chain Confused

opdenkamp · 2013-01-17, 17:00

which version of the pvr.hts are you using?

fat-tony · 2013-01-17, 17:03

It's 1.6.10 (as provided in the Openelec Frod RC3 package). I did force an update of all add-ons before I started the thread but still on 1.6.10

opdenkamp · 2013-01-17, 17:15

aha! that's an old version, we're at 1.6.17 now.
so your openelec build is using an old version

fat-tony · 2013-01-17, 17:28

so it is a bug which has been fixed? I just didn't see a report of it in any of the trackers which is why I reported the problem. I can bump the add-ons again and see if a higher version is in the repository. I have no problem waiting for a fix, it's just that it is frustrating to be told that it's a "non-error" by both ends of the chain!
