Re: video from USB DVB-T get damaged after some time

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

thanks - but in my Antenna is noway the problem - the signal is strong and HQ. All other tuners (STB, TVs, ...) are more then happy.

If it would not - the BERs would by HIGH all time.

No WiFi. 4GB RAM - most of them always free.


I thing the problem is - that the card loses tuned status (becomes detuned). That is why helps re-tune. That is why I ask about how to re-tune without breaking the stream.
Ideal would be if this could be done by driver.

Hello,

I have compile it (I hope) the more right way now :-)

The patch saved as aaa.patch in media_build/backports
and added lines to  media_build/backports/backports.txt:

Now dmesg looks like:

First I have thing the problem is gone: It has run OK over 20 minutes
(before it goes down mostly in <10 min on CH59).

But - unfortunately after cca 25 min it has go down again :-(

That BER looks awful.

If the antenna is good, it looks like local interference.

Check the wifi adapter is not causing it.

If possible put the TV adapter on a short 0.5m/1m USB extension cable
away from the PC. Trouble is these devices do not have any shielding.

I have heard problems of memory leak in Ubuntu 64 running low on memory
check free memory after 30 mins.

So - maybe is it little better, but the problem persist.
Any chance to solve it in dvb driver ?


I have tested (with the old driver) - that it helps to CTRL+C the:
tzap -r -c /etc/channels.conf "Prima ZOOM"

And then run it again. (It was not necessary to switch to another freq.
and back, as I wrote before).
Unfortunately it damages for  a while the recording (file.ts).
Is there another way how to "re-tune" (re-zap) without break
recording/viewing ?
I could then re-tune e.g. every 5 minutes and it could solve the problem.
Could not that be done in driver itself ?

Thanks.

Hello,

unfortunately I do not understand development, patching, compiling things.
I have try it but I need more help.

I have done:

git clone --depth=1 git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build
./build

it downloads and builds all. At begin of compiling I had stop it.
Then I did manual change of
./media_build/linux/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/af9035.c

But now I do not know how to "restart" build process.

Just

make

from media_build directory.


I have try:

cd /tmp/media_build/linux
make

It had compiled *. and *.ko files.

you need to run
/sbin/depmod -a

and reboot

it best to just run with su/sudo

make install

I have just tested all the single ids.

I am about to send a patch to add all the single tuner ids
to af9035 from it913x.

I haven't found any problems.

Malcolm
