Jump error when chaning program in livetv

[pik]

It happens systematically with the same dvb-s channel broadcasting an 1080 HD signal on Hotbird ( HD Suisse, mpeg 2 compressed, qpsk modulated ). After selecting the channel in lifetv I get a jump program error, after the second try mythfrontend freezes and I have to kill it manually. After I restart the problem persists, it tries ti tune to this channel without success and mythfrontend hangs again?

The only way out is to change start channel of the corresponding source ( using mythtv-setup). Looking at mythfrontend output, it seems that it looks for a file that does not exist ( /maxtor_/myth/lifetv/1990_20090815201338.mpg in this case ) which I think is trigering the problem. This only happens with this specific channel that brodcast full HD signals in qpsk mpeg2.

tested with svn 21269 and kernel 2.6.30

Also tested with Kaffeine, works ok, so it's a myth problem

Logs from:

mythbackend -v channel,record

Please.

Please.

Will post it. It is very strange, scheduled recording works ! The problem seems to be limited to lifetv. I was able to record and watch my recordings. Looks like a video problem.

[pik]

I have attached the mythbackend and mythfrontend logs. I have started mythbackend with the option -v channel, record. If there is another test I have to do, please let me know, the problem can easily be reproduced.

There are a couple patches on ticket #6612 that might help your problem.

DTV_StartNewFile_debug.diff

LiveTV_DTV_ringbuffer_check_debug2.diff

If either (or both) patches resolve your issue please let us know.

Thanks

LiveTV_DTV_ringbuffer_check_debug2.diff

Tried these two patches and it did not solve the problem. Also tried the other patches in ticket 6602 during a second round of test but it did not help either. Finaly I tried with a clean database after rescanning the transponder of the channel creating this problem. The problem also persists

6612 not 6602 ( typo )

The dvb-s channel HD suisse ( Astra 19.2 E ) for which I am havinv this problem is transmitting in dvb-s and uses h264 and not mpeg2. Sorry for the confusion.

[cg@…]

HD suisse is broadcasted on Hotbird 13.0°E as a DVB-S channel with MPEG4 video. The problem also exists on cable and the problem didn't exist with 0.21.

(In [21524]) prevent H264 SEI parsing from consuming the next start code. Fixes #6850, Fixes #6910
