hi,

 

I am using the Turbo Tuner for DVB-C via USB. The openpli 7.3 recognised it no problem.

 

The problem i have is when I go to a sat channel and then go back the a cable channel the box goes into dead state.

 

It shows the spinning wheel forever.

 

need to reboot.

If you can reproduce it, could you restart Enigma in debug mode (in the shutdown/restart menu), reproduce the issue, and after the restart, get the debuglog file from /home/root, and post it here?

Are you using CCcam? I vaguely recall a thread on another forum where the lockup used to occur if using CCcam.

Sent from my Moto G (5S) using Forum Fiend v1.3.3.

[izibizi]

using oscam. this happens on fta channels too.

 

the error can be reproduce like this - first go to cable channel, then to sat channel and back to any cable.

 

I will try to load the debug log.

Looks like a driver issue:

[eDVBFrontend1] opening frontend
[gRC] main thread is non-idle! display spinner!

Enigma calls it to open the frontend, but the call never returns...

this is the situation at the spinning in "top" command

is the driver not up to date? is there a fix? need this be reported to VU? 

 

how can I proceed?

[WanWizard]

The BSP is 7.3-release is up to date, so it has the latest drivers.

 

We don't own one of these tuners (any USB tuner in fact), USB tuners is always misery due to the userspace code, and the fact it always has to be kept up to date. Which clearly didn't happen here.

 

You could report it, but I don't give you much chance...

[izibizi]

do you know of another DVB-C USB tuner that works on zero 4k?

[WanWizard]

No, as I said, we don't use USB devices in the team. Even no wifi sticks, as they sometimes suffer from the same problem...

 

It is simply impossible to test all sorts of USB devices against the 30+ different linux kernel versions we have to support.

I had the same error years ago with Vu+Zero and Turbo tuner. It ends with that, that I just selled both not correctly working devices. Just so simply..

[izibizi]

before I bought it I asked HM-SAT if it will work ok with thus tuner and they assured me that it will.

 

It is really bad.

[WanWizard]

m_delsys.empty(), similar issues as with the Sundtek?

No, they meant it works with the original VUplus3.0 and (probably) VTi firmware!! The drivers initially didn't even work with OpenPli.
Worked initially only on FTA, later with softcam.

It may very well be.

[izibizi]

VTi is indeed working fine.

 

PLi guys - please fix this..

[Dimitrij]

VTi is indeed working fine.

 

 

Test openATV?

[izibizi]

I tested but it did not recognised the tuner and I did not found how to install the driver.

 

VTi is not a good image for me as it has no support for Hebrew.
