I have some problem with it913x USB DVB-T dongle.

 

Everything is Ok after start from deep standby, but the dongle somehow 'becomes' DVB-C after enigma2 restart. It is reported as DVB-C in about tuner dialog, it has DVB-C options in tuner config dialog, and tuner is not used for DVB-T input. 

 

After reboot (deep) everything is back to normal, and it913x is reported as DVB-T correctly with correct tuner setup. And it works until next enigma2 restart.

 

Box info:

Vu+ Duo2, OpenPLi 4 (latest with online upgrade from 20131018 flash version).

DVB-S2 Dual + DVB-T\C (set up as DVB-T) + it913x DVB-T USB dongle.

 

Any help appreciated.

Regards.

I've tested two it913x devices, one was Cabletech URZ0085 (048D:9135), the other one was a borrowed Evolve Venus (it is a twin DVB-T tuner; 048D:9006).

In the latter case two tuners were added - ok. Still they all turns to DVB-C after enigma2 restart.

 

I've noticed that dvb-usb-it9135-01.fw firmware was loaded in both cases, which is contrary to what is stated in http://www.linuxtv.o....php/ITE_IT9135 (dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw should be used in the second case). Actually, when I switched to a service on Evolve Venus stick, the enigma2 hung after a few second of playing a channel (and tv screen went black at the same time).

...continued (I couldn't edit previous message).

 

 

I've noticed that DVB-T USB related entries in /proc/bus/nim_sockets do not have I2C_Device (if it tells you anything, I do not know what that means). Below is the /proc/bus/nim_sockets (Evolve Venus); in case you find it useful. After enigma2 restart the file is not changed (but USB tuners are reported as DVB-C).

NIM Socket 0:
        Type: DVB-S2
        Name: Vuplus DVB-S NIM(AVL6222)
        Frontend_Device: 0
        I2C_Device: 2
NIM Socket 1:
        Type: DVB-S2
        Name: Vuplus DVB-S NIM(AVL6222)
        Frontend_Device: 1
        I2C_Device: 2
NIM Socket 2:
        Type: DVB-T
        Name: Vuplus DVB-T NIM(CXD1978)
        Mode 0: DVB-C
        Mode 1: DVB-T
        Frontend_Device: 2
        I2C_Device: 3


NIM Socket 3:
        Type: DVB-T
        Name: DVB-T TV Stick
        Frontend_Device: 3
NIM Socket 4:
        Type: DVB-T
        Name: DVB-T TV Stick
        Frontend_Device: 4

 

If you need some other feedback, please let me know, I will be eager to help you with fixing it913x DVB-T USB tuners an have them working on Vu+ Duo2.

 

Regards.

Thank you for your answer but no luck with the patch.

 

I've applied a patch but now enigma2 crashes. See log attached.

...

My first try was both changes, then only line 151 and then enigma2 was not crashing.

 

I've applied half a patch, line 151 only (types in different order). I tired many other combinations as well. Depending on the element order, my DVB-T USB stick was 'DVB-S2' or 'DVB-C' (whichever came first)  but NEVER 'DVB-T'.

 

I was testing after 'init 4' with '/usr/bin/enigma2' and I noticed that 'NIM Socket 3' and 'NIM Socket 4' are not present in the '/proc/bus/nim_sockets when enigma2 is not running (sockets 0 through 2 are always present). After enigma2 restart, socket 3 & 4 entries are recreated correctly though.

You are right the split(":") is not good...
>>> "Mode 0: DVB-T".split(":")
['Mode 0', ' DVB-T']
Although change order you are getting different tuner type (sometimes DVB-S2 and other DVB-C)?

Maybe you can add some print in NimManager and see if tuners are parsed correctly.

I do not know what to print actually.

 

Yesterday I played with NimManager.py, it was with Cabletech URZ0085 connected, I do not remember the details, but I think I removed DVB-C from compatible list (or some other list). Then, the stick was reported as DVB-T but it was never chosen to 'play' DVB-T service, it was acting as if it was still treated as DVB-C (or non-DVB-T at least) when it went to display DVB-T service.

I think frontendIsCompatible takes wrong assumptions about it9135 (and so some other functions maybe).

You can add this debug line:
+print "XXXXX IS frontend %s DVB-T compartible == %s" % (str(slot.frontend_id), str(eDVBResourceManager.getInstance().frontendIsCompatible(slot.frontend_id, "DVB-T"))
types = [type for type in ["DVB-T2", "DVB-T", "DVB-C", "DVB-S2", "DVB-S", "ATSC"] if eDVBResourceManager.getInstance().frontendIsCompatible(slot.frontend_id, type)]

I added checks for all types. According to log DVB-T usb tuners are DVB-C and DVB-S/S2 compatible only! Which is totally wrong. 

[macnuts] IS frontend 0 DVB-T2    compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 0 DVB-T     compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 0 DVB-C     compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 0 DVB-S2    compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 0 DVB-S     compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 0 DVB-ATSC  compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 1 DVB-T2    compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 1 DVB-T     compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 1 DVB-C     compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 1 DVB-S2    compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 1 DVB-S     compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 1 DVB-ATSC  compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 2 DVB-T2    compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 2 DVB-T     compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 2 DVB-C     compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 2 DVB-S2    compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 2 DVB-S     compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 2 DVB-ATSC  compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 3 DVB-T2    compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 3 DVB-T     compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 3 DVB-C     compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 3 DVB-S2    compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 3 DVB-S     compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 3 DVB-ATSC  compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 4 DVB-T2    compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 4 DVB-T     compartible == False
[macnuts] IS frontend 4 DVB-C     compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 4 DVB-S2    compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 4 DVB-S     compartible == True
[macnuts] IS frontend 4 DVB-ATSC  compartible == False
 

 

Just above those lines however:

setSlotInfo for dvb frontend 0 to slotid 0, descr Vuplus DVB-S NIM(AVL6222), need rotorworkaround No, enabled Yes, DVB-S2 Yes
setSlotInfo for dvb frontend 1 to slotid 1, descr Vuplus DVB-S NIM(AVL6222), need rotorworkaround No, enabled Yes, DVB-S2 Yes
setSlotInfo for dvb frontend 2 to slotid 2, descr Vuplus DVB-T NIM(CXD1978), need rotorworkaround No, enabled Yes, DVB-S2 No
setSlotInfo for dvb frontend 3 to slotid 3, descr DVB-T TV Stick, need rotorworkaround No, enabled No, DVB-S2 No
setSlotInfo for dvb frontend 4 to slotid 4, descr DVB-T TV Stick, need rotorworkaround No, enabled No, DVB-S2 No 
 

 

That is also strange:

Input device "ITE Technologies, Inc. DVB-T TV Stick" is a remotecontrol

 

Enigma2 starting log is attached (tuners were reported as DVB-C).

 

Let me say that again, tuners are reported ok on wake from deep standby, the problem is when restarting enigma2.

Ok lets assume that problem is in the frontendIsCompatible function ...
http://sourceforge.net/p/openpli/enigma2/ci/master/tree/lib/dvb/dvb.cpp#l739

bool eDVBResourceManager::frontendIsCompatible(int index, const char *type)
{
        for (eSmartPtrList<eDVBRegisteredFrontend>::iterator i(m_frontend.begin()); i != m_frontend.end(); ++i)
        {
                if (i->m_frontend->getSlotID() == index)
                {
                        if (!strcmp(type, "DVB-S2"))
                        {
                                return i->m_frontend->supportsDeliverySystem(SYS_DVBS2, false);
                        }
                        else if (!strcmp(type, "DVB-S"))
                        {
                                return i->m_frontend->supportsDeliverySystem(SYS_DVBS, false);
                        }
                        else if (!strcmp(type, "DVB-T2"))
                        {
                                return i->m_frontend->supportsDeliverySystem(SYS_DVBT2, false);
                        }
                        else if (!strcmp(type, "DVB-T"))
                        {
                                return i->m_frontend->supportsDeliverySystem(SYS_DVBT, false);
                        }
                        else if (!strcmp(type, "DVB-C"))
                        {
#if DVB_API_VERSION > 5 || DVB_API_VERSION == 5 && DVB_API_VERSION_MINOR >= 6
                                return i->m_frontend->supportsDeliverySystem(SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_A, false) || i->m_frontend->supportsDeliverySystem(SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_C, false);
#else
                                return i->m_frontend->supportsDeliverySystem(SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_AC, false);
#endif
                        }
                        else if (!strcmp(type, "ATSC"))
                        {
                                return i->m_frontend->supportsDeliverySystem(SYS_ATSC, false) || i->m_frontend->supportsDeliverySystem(SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_B, false);
                        }
                        break;
                }
        }
        return false;
}
The True/False comes from supportsDeliverySystem...
http://sourceforge.net/p/openpli/enigma2/ci/master/tree/lib/dvb/frontend.cpp#l2357

bool eDVBFrontend::supportsDeliverySystem(const fe_delivery_system_t &sys, bool obeywhitelist)
{
        std::map<fe_delivery_system_t, bool>::iterator it = m_delsys.find(sys);
        if (it != m_delsys.end() && it->second)
        {
                if (obeywhitelist && !m_delsys_whitelist.empty())
                {
                        it = m_delsys_whitelist.find(sys);
                        if (it == m_delsys_whitelist.end() || !it->second) return false;
                }
                return true;
        }
        return false;
}
So i guess something can be wrong there, putting eDebug can help but you need to compile enigma your self (because it is in C++ code).

I can compile openpli, no problem. I have a Linux set up properly, I know C/C++, git and how to build an image without changes. What I do not know is how to add patches (all that bitbake stuff).

 

If you can tell me how to create and apply patches in a way that they survive an image building, I am happy to test further.

This is more or less what i do to test an enigma2 patch:

1. I create the patch and i am copying the patch into sources folder (eg 0001-testXYZ.patch).

2. Create a file named enigma2.bbappend and place it on the same folder where enigma2.bb resides (or here meta-local/recipes-local/images/ will work too)

enigma2.bbappend should contain the following:
PRINC = "1"
SRC_URI += "file://0001-testXYZ.patch"
3. Every time i am making changes to 0001-testXZY.patch i am increasing PRINC by one and trying again. It is obvious that patch is copied on sources folder every time

4. When build success i am getting enigma ipk from build/tmp/deploy/ipk/MACHINE/enigma2_xxxx.ipk and i am testing.

Good luck ;)

PS. When making changes on existing files its ok to issue the command git diff > TestXYZ.patch to quickly create a patch.

PPS. Bitbake will complaing that patch is not found in expected folder but it works.

Most likely, the kernel is too old to have proper delsys support?

(though this won't affect this issue I think. Most likely the dvb api version in 3.3.8 does not have full delsys support)

 I just want to put some more debugging info.

 

I have yet another problem which I must solve first. That is images from 02.12.2013 for duo2 do not start when it9135 tuner is plugged in. This information comes from http://openpli.org/f...o2/#entry391507

For now I now that the device is started ok, but then an exception occurs in NimManager.py line 163:

 

 

types.remove("DVB-S")ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list
 

 

It is strange as it happens only when usb dvb-t is plugged, but the error refers to frontend0 which is dvb-s2 dual card (single card with 2 dvb-s2 tuners).
