TurboSight TBS 5280 Tuner disconnects every 10 Mins

Added by simon Flanagan almost 12 years ago

Hi All

This is my first post, first of all TVHeadend is the best TV Server I have come across. I wanted something that integrates with XBMC I have been running Mythtv for years but could not get it to work reliably with xbmc.

I have a dedicated "backend" with a single dvb-s2 card and a dual TBS 5280 USB tuner. The server is a i7-920 running 12.04 server (32 bit).

I have a small issue with the USB tuner it gives me continuity errors every 10 Minutes or so. Looking at the log I got a Transport error @
21:30:34
21:40:54
21:51:34
22:01:54
22:12:14
22:30:22
22:40:42
22:51:26
23:01:45
23:12:05
23:22:25
23:40:41

It looks line every 10 Mins 20 seconds or so something tweeks either the USB or the card drops out. The dropout seems to regular to be a hardware fault has anyone seen this sort of thing before? Is there a regular EIT scan or something that takes place every 10 mins its a dual device sharing the usb bus I was wondering if the bus got reset every 10 mins.

I have attached the log maybe this could help.

Ok

I have done a little playing around to investigate this problem. It does indeed seem to be related to the second frontend being tweeked whilst the first frontend is recording. If I uncheck all the muxes for the second tuner I still get the problem but if I delete them I get no dropouts. I suspect tvheadend is retuning the second tuner every 10 mins or so as part or an EIT scan or mux detect and this is causing a transport error on the first tuner.

If I can pin down what is causing it I will contact TBS and see if the driver can be moded to fix it.
