Dear folks,

KAFFEINE plays tv correct.
If I start tv the screen goes black, I see ...waiting and after approx 6 seconds the menu comes back. A rescan of channels don't bring success.
Had anybody an idea how to debug this.

Thanks for any support.

Best regards
Gert

Not sure I'll be able to help much, other than to maybe point you in the right direction. I had a similar isssue:Error: SetChannelByString(3): Failed to initialize multiplex optionsTurned out it was because my DVB-S and DVB-T carts had swapped ID's. You've only got the one tuner, but it does look as if Myth is treating it as the wrong type. Maybe it thinks it's DVB-S instead of DVB-S2??

Hi SiHa,

first thanks for your support. Three days ago I deleted all my channels and tryed a manually channel scan. Without success. Channel scan begins an my Desk freezes after approx 30.Seconds. Before I used the channels from my 9.4 Installation which works till today. I think ist a difficulty between the hardware driver an the new mythtv 0.22versin. My mythtv fronend id stb0899. I use the s2-liplianin driver source to compile my card driver.

I had this, with different hardware, after upgrading to 9.10.

I deleted all cards, inputs, channels etc, but it would not scan.

Eventually I found that the DB table - dtv_multiplex had been corrupted or not updated correctly by the upgrade.


$ mysql -uuser -ppass mythconverg
mysql> update dtv_multiplex set mod_sys = 'DVB-S';


fixed it. I haven't tried DVB-S2

Make sure you have a Db backup beforehand.

Hi Ian,

thanks a lot. That's it. But how do you insert new channels, scan for new if mythtv uses a false DTVMux parameter 1 instead of 'DVB-S' ?

Best regards Gert
