Problem switching from encrypted channel to FTA channel

[einstein@…]

hi,

there is an problem switching from an encrypted channel to an FTA channel. In the frontend-OSD it hangs on "LMs". When you switch to an other FTA channel then it changes to LMC and is working again.

Mythtv-Version is the latest source.

here is the backend log switching back from ecrypted ("LMSC") Channel back to the FTA channel hanging on "LMs":

[Janne Grunau]

please attach a -v record,channel,siparser backend log

First of all, I am sorry for re-opening this ticket.

In fact I think this is related to #6022.

Last Sunday I have updated to 0.22_p22824-r1 (gentoo version). The main reason for the upgrade was exactly this bug.

This issue is still present. Encrypted channels are OK while FTA cannot be locked on :-D.

I am willing to provide any information might be required to get this right.

Thank you for your time, Octavian

[Dibblah]

So please provide the logs asked for above?

[Octavian <octavsly@…>]

OK I will do this in the evening. I am not at home right now.

Is record,channel,siparser enough?

[Dibblah]

Yes. Also, which hardware CAM and subscription card do you see this issue with?

Log from at least the start of tuning, if not from startup, please.

[Octavian <octavsly@…>]

I will do that in the evening since I am not at home now and I cannot start mythfrontend in a NXMachine session.

The listing was posted to show the CAM type and the hardware I have used.

[Octavian <octavsly@…>]

the issue is solved for me

Here are the steps I have followed.

1. Rescanning of the FTA channels from mythtv-setup.

Initially the scan on the problematic frequency 546MHz did not work. As soon as the scanning of the transponder was started a timeout signal was given and no channels were found. All parameters were AUTO. The next step was to use kaffeine to tune in the 546MHz. This was successful. I have copied all parameters from kaffeine and pass them to mythtv. The result of the scan is attached in mythtv_setup.scan

2. After starting the mythfrontend, the FTA channels were successfully tuned-in. For completeness I have attached mythbackend_tuning.log.gz.

Thanks Dibblah for spending some time on this, Octavian

Thanks for following up!
