EPG add timer: auto resolve conflict for alternative services

https://github.com/O...entView.py#L154

But this is completely different.

[Abu Baniaz]

Thanks. If delaying a recording by one second avoids this clash, it is worth it until a proper solution is found for the root cause of the problem.

[ccs]

We had a commit some time ago to cater for the following situation:

 

Timer A ends 20:00 (inclusive of offsets)

Timer B starts at 20:00 (inclusive of offsets).

 

Until the commit was made, this would always clash when in reality timers were one after the other. Does anybody remember it? If so, can you post a link please? Thanks

Even without jess/unicable I experience some issue regarding recordings on DVB-C.... sometimes when I have multiple recordings I have recordings with black screen.... the size is big.... but it seems the screen is not encrypted. I;m speculating on an issue of the drivers and/or oscam e.g. some resources that assign stuff fur encrypting get too full or is not freed.....

[Huevos]

I think probably different bugs.

 

This bug only shows on FBC tuners running Unicable. No softcam is involved in the test because the services are FTA.

 

Only person that confirmed on non-FBC tuners was Rob, but this was based on past results and no one else has managed to confirm Rob's result.

 

Current bug has been confirmed by multiple sources on Vu and Gigablue FBC tuners.

Only person that confirmed on non-FBC tuners was Rob, but this was based on past results and no one else has managed to confirm Rob's result.

Being back at my 'old Unicable' setup I can indeed confirm my previous observations (currently running ViX).

According to my testing this workaround solves the problem. So can it please be added until someone finds a way to cure the real problem.

[Erik Slagter]

Appearently not in this case?

No, it is impossible to send two DiSEqC commands at the same time. If they really would be interleaved, it wouldn't also work on the JESS switch.

[Erik Slagter]

Is there any sort of workaround we can implement for the time being?

 

DiSEqC delays -> plugin.

 

So looks like the only way is to throw Unicable LNBs in the dustbin and switch back to Universal. Which also means there is no point having FBC tuners either.

 

I am using FBC tuners quite fine thank you.

[Erik Slagter]

Unicable recordings are always on the same satellite/polarization can be different?

Band, polarisation and position can be different.

 

The switch (or in this case the LNB) does (also) the second level of downmixing. Normally the LNB does transpose the complete band downwards (one of four possibilities), then the tuner in the STB does the rest. With SCR the actual tuning is also done by the switch (or the LNB) and is transposed to a fixed frequency, assigned to each tuner.

[betacentauri]

I have no clue about it. Is it a single DiSEqC command or are there more commands necessary to tune the LNB? If more, do they have to be in the correct order?

[Huevos]

Erik the plugin is just a screen to access the SEC config delays.

Problem here is different. Enigma thinks tuner A and tuner D are different tuners. It doesn't realise the commands are being sent up the same cable too close together. Just because your switch will put up with this doesn't mean enigma is behaving in an acceptable way.

Commands are obviously being sent to the lnb faster than it can process them.

[Dimitrij]

[RecordTimer] add 1 sec. for start timer if otner timers start same time

[littlesat]

Are you sure this works... I also have issues with timers starting on the same time (without jess/unicable).... and this ‘work a round’ looks really simple

@littlesat FYI:

Thanks to everyone contributing to this thread...
 
Just before adding this new patch I have retried 1 second intervals just to be certain.
 
I set 3 timers and all 3 started and were successful.

I will post once I get the patch built and tested.

[Huevos]

This workaround works for me for the unicable problem.

There are a few other people going to confirm this fixes their unicable problem later today.

[Abu Baniaz]

Issue avoided for me on Solo 4K using a GT_Sat LNB.

[Erik Slagter]

I have no clue about it. Is it a single DiSEqC command or are there more commands necessary to tune the LNB? If more, do they have to be in the correct order?

The DiSEqC command (which in fact cannot be called DiSEqC, but uses the same signalling) for the switch/LNB is just one, it contains all of the user band, the target frequency, the target band and the target polarisation. But to have it recognised by the switch/LNB, we must do a little "dance" before and after. IIRC DiSEqC requires the voltage to be low (13V), Unicable high (19V) and JESS low.

 

BTW if you're using any of DiSEqC multiswitch or SCR, make sure all legacy stuff like tone burst, voltage and DiSEqC (!) are disabled. It will interfere with the commands.

[Erik Slagter]

Erik the plugin is just a screen to access the SEC config delays.

Problem here is different. Enigma thinks tuner A and tuner D are different tuners. It doesn't realise the commands are being sent up the same cable too close together. Just because your switch will put up with this doesn't mean enigma is behaving in an acceptable way.

Commands are obviously being sent to the lnb faster than it can process them.

It looks like that is the issue indeed. But as said earlier, neither Unicable nor JESS apply on restriction on this. So if the LNB can't handle commands at this speed, it must be considered a deviation from the standard and any facility for it would be called a workaround.

 

The code that sends the commands does not have a notion of delays. It's in a part of enigma that can't use delays because it would slow down enigma as a whole. On the other hand, the actual processing of the "SEC" queue, is done by another part of the enigma code and THERE is where the delays are applied that are set by the plugin. So I really think that is where this should be worked around.

 

If we find might find this is the solution, we might want to make a small plugin for SCR LNB owners that does nothing but programming the SEC delays correctly.
