Tvheadend

Hi, thanks for yor answer.
1) 4.2.6-11 from synocmmunity work ok (braswell). Version 4.2.6-13 have the same problem with transcode.
2) Trasncode with libx264.
3) Log in tvheadend with try transcoding (only get black screen and audio):

Thanks

Thanks. The log messages might help. But will need Jaroslav to look at it...

@perexg ^^ Do you know what triggers this error in libav?

Juan Gonzales: Missed it earlier, but transcoding actually should not work in those builds. It requires ffmpeg to support it. Jaroslav has included the transcoding option in his statically linked version that ships with TVH. However, the SynoCommunity cross-compilation requires ffmpeg to be dynamically linked. That ffmpeg version does not (yet?) include transcoding support. There is a pending PR, but it only works for a subset of Synology NASes, which makes broader integration difficult.

Could it be that the 4.2.6-11 version that worked for was a testing version? Not sure anymore, but could be I built one some time ago when playing around with the pending PR I mentioned. Anyways, if you are not depending on any of the 4.2.6 -> 4.2.7 changes in TVH itself, I recommend reverting to that special build instead...

Thaks for your reply.

Yes as I had the same issue.

You need to read the earlier content in this thread: https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/27780?r=32038#message-32038 as this will tell you what you need to do and slightly further down how to put it in the right place. Mine now survives reboots, however on a package update you have to redo it as it loses the setting.

interestingly the latest LinuxIO docker image using TVH 4.3 doesn't require anything and detects the SATIP device with ease.

Hello
anyone got an idea how to fix this error in tvheadend (4.2.6)?
2018-11-11 20:27:06.092 linuxdvb: Sundtek DVB-S/S2 (VII) #0 : DVB-S #0 - DTV_CLEAR failed [e=Permission denied]

I made a clean installation of the package.
Any hints are very welcome.

Best regards

Juan Gonzales It seems the error you've encountered is not related to hardware transcoding, but a broader issue with software transcoding as well. Jaroslav pushed a commit 3 days ago, which might fix the issue. I've created a 4.2.7 test build with (just) that fix for your braswell 6.1+ system. You can download it here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3hmg79vee31pr5a/tvheadend_braswell-6.1_4.2.7-14.spk?dl=0
Could you test it and report back, please?

@´horst´ As you have not received a response here and I'm not familiar with Sundtek devices at all, I recommend you ask on the Sundtek forum instead. But maybe you have done that already...

Working OK, THANKS :0

Is there any possibility to set IP of SAT IP server which is on different localization ?(via internet) if yes, someone could give me example how to do it ?

Yes. There is some command-line option, that you have to include when you start Tvheadend. Don't remember the details, but you will find it in one of our forums.
In order to insert that option in your Synology installation, do the following:
1) Stop TVH in the DSM package manager
2) ssh into your NAS as admin
3) Gain root priviledges (sudo su -)
4) cd /var/packages/tvheadend/scripts
5) Edit the "service-setup" file and add the missing command-line option to the available "SERVICE_COMMAND" string
6) Save the file and exit the ssh session
7) Restart TVH in the DSM package manager

This will NOT survive package updates, so you'd have to repeat it after each update.

Thanks for your quick answer.

I added missing parameter to SERVICE_COMMAND line

SERVICE_COMMAND="${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/bin/tvheadend -f -u ${EFF_USER} -g ${GRPN} --http_port ${HTTPP} --htsp_port ${HTSPP} -c ${HOME_DIR} -p ${PID_FILE} --satip_xml "http://85.XX.199.XX:9981/satip_server/desc.xml"

..and now I see SatIP adapters in DVB Inputs. Thanks !

The latest maintenance release, Tvheadend 4.2.8, is now available via the SynoCommunity. Will update post #1 in a minute.

Of note: It comes with an update of ffmpeg to 4.1 and VAAPI HW transcoding support on x64 platforms. I have an old evansport platform so cannot test it, but would be interested in your experiences with this feature.

Hi Martin,

I've just updated my TVH 4.2.6 package on my DS216+ II (latest DSM version) to 4.2.8.
Basically everything is working after the update except for my two Sundtek TV tuners - they don't get recognized in TVH anymore after this update. Before, they were present and working.
Sundtek driver is the latest (v0.38) and I am using the following tuners:

MediaTV Pro III (EU) --> DVB-C
SkyTV Ultimate 6 2016/Q1 --> DVB-S2

I already uninstalled the Sundtek driver and re-installed it (incl. reboot of the NAS) but no change.

Any hint / clue how to make them work again with current TVH version?

*EDIT: It's working now... seems that just another reboot was neccessary ;-) *

Many thanks and BR
Stefan

Hello!

I just upgraded to 4.2.8 on my DS418play.
It seems that the CAM-Reader support for my TechnoTrend TT-connect CT-3650CI USB-Tuner has gone.
The cardreader is no longer listed under the TV Adapters, where it was before as /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0 (see attached jpg)
So now I am not longer able to view/decode encrypted TV channels, unencrypted channels are working as before.
Is there a solution, or has there been a change in handling the CAMs?

Thanks a lot,
Christian

Hmh, not sure. Maybe the driver got stuck. Have you rebooted your NAS already? If not, I'd try this and see whether the tuner appears. Otherwise, I'd ssh into the box and check whether the adapter works on OS level in the first place, i.e. check /dev/dvb/adapter... and dmesg, etc.

Hi!

If you are sure that the CAM is detected and initialised correctly, I'd stop and restart the Tvheadend package and start inquiring log files. But I'm neither driver nor CAM expert. Maybe it is better you start a separate forum issue or ticket with the information above, so that more people see it. If others have encountered similar issue on non-Synology platforms they might be better positioned to help...

I posted my issue under the general Descrambling-Forum.

Here I also found the following topic:
https://tvheadend.org/boards/13/topics/22272

It seems that TVHeadend has to be compiled with the --enable-liben50221 option, that hardware CI CAMs work.
Do you know how this option was set for this Synology release?

Thank You. I think you are right! That option and the dvb-apps dependency has been removed in the Tvheadend Master branch 15 months ago. I removed it from the 4.2.7 update, assuming it had been backported into the 4.2.x branch already. That was wrong. I just checked and the configuration option still exists. Suprised this did not come up earlier. Could you let me know your Syno Model and DSM version, please? I'll create a test build for you.

Oh great, I will write this to my other thread.

I have a Synology DS418play - INTEL Celeron J3355 - DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 4

Don't write too quickly. Maybe it is something else... ;-)

Will take some time though. Compiling on an old laptop...

OK. Here you go:

Hi,
I have installed the last version 4.2.8 in synology 918+ (Celeron j3455).
I have problem with vaapi transcoding (software transcoding is OK).
The video when i use trasncoding with vaapi (i try vaapi h264 and vaapi mpg2)no is ok, i saw video 5 second, stop one second, continue 5 second, stop 1 second.......

I paste debugging.
Thanks for your work.

Hi Martin!
The CI-Cardreader is showing up and everything is working fine again with this release, even after a reboot of the NAS!
Thanks a lot! Br, Christian
