Hello,

I am using ET9000 with ET9x00 image from 20111104.
Booting the box works fine, also watching tv over Scart is no problem.

But after cutting some movies and switching back to tv, I often get a black screen, but audio and menu is available. Also recorded movies have a black screen but audio.

I can only sometimes get the tv-image back by using the sat-finder and switch through both tuners. Signal is present there on both tuners.
Restarting the ET9000 solves the problem, but it is no solution.

This bug came first with ET9x00 images, before with ET9000 images and linux 2.6.31 I had not such problems.

Regards, Dascon

Could you please describe an exact scenario when this happens. I read some look-a-like reports (also on the clarktech-xtrend forum)... I saw this happening two times after intensive debugging and starting/stopping enigma2... But I never found a way to force it.

sometimes it happens also to me. My solution is to go again into media player, play a video (for a few secs) stop playing and exit.

I get this problem, when i but the box in standby (1 hour or more ). When i put i back on sometimes i get only sound and menu.

I receive this error on two different situations:

1. Cut editor
Use cut editor and prepare a recorded movie for cutting, after exit of the cut editor my tv picture gets black, but I can still hear audio and use the menu, it is also possible to switch channels, but picture stays black.
During this state also recorded movies have only audio, no video, but menu is visible.
It is only possible to get the picture back by using sat finder, I switch to tuner B and to DVB-S2, then exit sat finder, picture stays still black, but after switching to a different channel it sometimes gets back to normal.

Movies recorded during this black screen state are recorded fine, including video and audio. So it seems that just tv output is like during standby.

2. Standby-mode
If I put my box to standby, sometimes it awakes with black screen, but audio and menu is working.

So there is no guarantee to get this black screen, but reproduce by using standby-mode works mostly, reproduce by using cut editor works for me nearly as good as standby-mode.

[satdvb]

according to the XT/CT forum these problems should be fixed with the driver released today (and commited by Milo some hours ago )
