Hi!
Now that I have a spare DVB-S2 tuner (TechniSat SkyStar USB HD
(adapter2); the others on this box are atm Hauppauge Nova-TD model
1172 (adapter 0+1) and TechnoTrend S2-3600 (adapter3) - all USB) I
decided to play with vdr device bonding. I discovered three things:
(still using vdr 1.7.29, I know I should upgrade... :)
1. The LNB setup OSD menu causes bonding to fail (it's trying to
bond a DVB-T tuner) if I set the two DVB-S2 tuners as "connected
to sat cable 1"; it works with "sat cable 2". Maybe it somehow
thinks of (one of?) the DVB-T tuner(s) as cable 1 too?
What does the "Setup/LNB" menu look like on your system?
Does it list only the two DVB-S devices, or all four of them?
Which device numbers does it display?
What does the "DeviceBondings = ..." line in setup.conf look like
in both cases (working/not working)?
working:
Einstellungen - LNB
DiSEqC benutzen: nein
SLOF (MHz): 11700
Untere LNB-Frequenz (MHz): 9750
Obere LNB-Frequenz (MHz): 10600
Device 3 angeschlossen an Sat-Kabel: 2
Device 4 angeschlossen an Sat-Kabel: 2
->
DeviceBondings = 1 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

You wrote that your DVB-S2 device is "adapter2". Does this mean it
is actually "adaper2/frontend0" and "adapter2/frontend1"?
No the other DVB-S2 tuner is adapter3 (TechnoTrend S2-3600), all four
only have frontend0 no frontend1.
Have you appliead any patches to VDR?
Currently the two patches belonging to the iptv and ttxtsubs plugins
and my stb0899 signal strength patch, and of course the FreeBSD
portability patches.
If so, what happens without them?
I will have to check that later tho I guess they are unrelated...
Same for plugins.
I just started vdr with just the xineliboutput plugin (I don't have
an ff card) and got the same
DeviceBondings = 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
when setting both DVB-S2 tuners as ".. connected to sat cable 1".
I wonder, could this be a result of me running vdr with only the DVB-S2
tuners once and the first 1 in DeviceBondings that I may have set then
simply doesn't get reset when the first two tuners became DVB-T?
I'll have to further look into this, but you might be on to something here.
Please stop VDR, set that line to
DeviceBondings = 0 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
manually and restart VDR. Does it work then?
Yeah, looks like. (I should have tested that earlier... :)
Just one more thing: did you get any log messages regarding device bonding
when it didn't work?
Btw did you take a look at the bondMutex vs mutex locking yet? I've had
no further deadlocks with the second patch now.
I was a little cnfused about this at first ;-)
Will look into it later.
BTW: you sent your original posting "To" me and "Cc"d the VDR-ML. Therefore my reply
inadvertently only went to you and not to the list. I'm no replying explicitly to the
list. Please send postings only to the list and do not Cc me (unless you only want to
contact me privately).
