Media centre issue

[ray._b]

Hi,


Hello all I am new on this board, so this is my first post.
I think this may be a bug.
On my IPBox 900 I experience tuner configuration error after playing music from the media centre off of the HD. Does anyone else have this Issue. Soft reboot does not make it work, only power off and on.

Cheers

Hi and welcome (even if your first post is a little older...)
What does the log say if this error occurs?
Have you tried a new image? (if not please do so)

Seems to be an issue with twin tuner Alien boxes as well - as far as I recall the sequence is;

- use media centre (or EMC, it doesn't make any difference) to play a recording (music, video - it doesn't matter)
- box starts scheduled recording
- you end playback and exit media player / EMC
- Box reports tuner error and cold start required to regain functionality.

Both tuners set to 28.2 single

Only seems to happen with HDMU running on my Alien 2 - on the single tuner Alien 8900 everything works as expected. The 8900 is currently on HDMU 11842 but the Alien 2 has been moved to PKT Hyperion V3 which doesn't exhibit this problem so I can't (at the moment) provide any more detailed information.

@morly there is no log as it is not a crash as such...
@ ibero96...This is pretty much It, as described, although I have not tried the recording side of things only music off of the hard drive.
All was OK About Nov last year, but recent changes have resulted in this problem, a tad annoying as the box is used as a media centre.
Also recent changes have removed the ability to add TSMedia as well.
All in many thanks to the coders, the image is very good, certainly cured the HD judder problem for me

Many thanks for your replies

Cheers

Shpelling mistakes are not mine the site seems to change thinks sometimes!

I did not speak about a crash log - I mean either a serial log or a lan log...
(for reading the console messages of the image)

Hi morly, Many thanks for your reply. Is there a tutorial for a serial or lan logging.. I would be willing to share information if it helps develop things further.

Cheers

Can you read a German tutorial?

Sounds a bit like the frontend issue that has been there since longer time (below trace from test last May) but only happens occassionally:

opening frontend 1
failed! (/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1) Device or resource busy
(1)tune
no frontend device opened... do not try to tune !!!

Or does it happen always for you? Can also appear if 2 recordings are ongoing and if one or both record(s) end the tuner might fail but also not always. Only permanent way to reproduce this error message is to setup a record timer, open media center just before record starts - it fails to open the frontend until you exit the media center.

Yes Mikam, this was also my thought, this is why I was asking for a log
