Tvheadend runs but cannot be accessed. How to debug?

Added by Akos Sz almost 10 years ago

Hi,

Some days ago a new Tvheadend addon version was introduced for Openelec 5.0. The old tvheadend version was 3.9.2182 and the new is 3.9.2413.
It works fine after upgrade but after a while (1-2 hours) severe problems appear. I cannot change channel, HTSP client cannot access Tvheadend.
The strange thing that the problem is still present after restarting the whole PC.
The problem has been confirmed by other user as well. The system is running well when I downgrade to 3.9.2182
My DVB card is a Tevii s471.
Openelec(Kodi) logs contains that tvheadend drops the connection after trying to subscribe to a channel.

No connection anymore...

To open a ticket I would need some debug logs, however the GUI of tvheadend is not accessible hence I cannot configure debugging. On the linux console I can see that tvheadend process is running. Can I configure debug from command line?
I suspect that the problem could be in connection with https://tvheadend.org/issues/2625

+1, having similar problems.
dvb-s2 on Tvheadend unusable for me in Openelec 5.0.2 due such problems - tried both clients: pvr.hts and pvr.tvh.

EDIT: seems like enabling 'Full DiseqC' makes things considerable better

This was the solution in my case: Enable 'Full DiseqC' in the tuner / satellite configuration settings.
