Tvheadend stopped working after upgrade

Added by Three ByFive about 10 years ago

Hello,

first, tvheadend stopped working for me in Kodi, but the backend still worked from the web interface. I could stream TV through my network just fine.

Then I updated tvheadend to 4.0.5. I used to have like 40 channels mapped; now I have 5 and they won't play. I can't get any of my muxes, services or channels to play. The log just says:

subscription: 008B: service instance is bad, reason: No input detected
webui: Couldn't start streaming /stream/channel/85480cc1429ecc8208bdf7f2b7bdb0bc, No input detected
subscription: 008B: No input source available for subscription "HTTP" to channel "Test Channel"

The ATSC interface under TV Adapters was not enabled, so I enabled it. I still can't get anything to work, though. The Scan Result is 'FAIL' for all muxes. What do I do?

I'm also encountering what may be a similar issue, though I'm working from a git master.

The other thing that changed in my ATSC OTA setup is that I switched from my desktop Ubuntu 15.04 AMD64 Linux 4.1 AU0828 custom module (to add my usb tuner) (tvh unknown git version from last month) -> ODroid XU4 (exynos-5422) Ubuntu 15.04 Linux 4.2 through a USB 2.0 hub HTS Tvheadend 4.1-373~gcb5f6a1-dirty.

1) I had NOT encountered this issue from my desktop.
2) I find it only seems to happen after a period of idle time. For example, I had some recordings to occur, but found "time missed" and the log:

I'm pretty sure the "Service name collision" was from the tvheadend still running on my desktop with NO tuner. After seeing that, I disabled tvheadend on my desktop.

I also went ahead and disabled "Power Save" for the tuner on the ODroid and had the TV running for a few hours with no problem. I don't think I tried to change any channels outside of that frequency though.

Then I went out for ~1 hour, went to start the TV (using Kodi 16-Alpha1 Git:2015-07-31-06eee488) and it wouldn't start. The log was showing the same thing:

After a "$ sudo systemctl restart tvheadend.service", it was fine... for now... HA! Ok, just as I'm about to submit this, the tv stops streaming and Kodi starts taking up more CPU. I find that Kodi will do that every now and again, even when I was using my desktop as the host AND client, and when I am doing some time shifting.
So, I stop Kodi from playing, select the same channel and again it says "No input detected"

I also find that I don't necessarily have to restart the service.
I can just jump around to different channels and subchannels and eventually one of them will work and I might be able to go back to the failing channel.

Thing is, that channel frequency is the strongest signal channel I get currently.
