Tvheadend

I tried version 2.99.34 and it still gives me:

tvheadend[2103]: segfault at 0 ip b7456e41 sp b51fca9c error 4 in libc-2.15.so[b73db000+19f000]

Is there some sort of nightly build ubuntu repository? Thus I can keep updating in an easier way?
Thanks.

Tried new build HTS Tvheadend 2.99.37.1332f9f, still seeing the same error:

[14052.741712] tvheadend[7305]: segfault at 0 ip b74a2e41 sp b51fca9c error 4 in libc-2.15.so[b7427000+19f000]

Tried the HTS Tvheadend 0.90.0.5265.ga257d version, it still has the problem, it finds 164 services starting from 56 muxes, whe it arrives at mux 27 it disconnects then reconnects starting the tuning again from mux 56 down to mux 27 where it crashes again.
Here is the message in the web interface:

There seems to be a problem with the live update feed from Tvheadend. Trying to reconnect...

Still trying to help, here is the same crash (but chattier), from HTS Tvheadend 2.99.53.4502158:
This time is a vanilla Ubuntu server 12.04, just installed linux-firmware-nonfree to support my siano DVB thumb and tvheadend from pulse eight repositories.

Can you try building from andoma's latest git source, and run it under gdb to get a proper trace?

If your unsure about how to do that might be easiest to pop along to IRC (#hts).

Hi, thank you for the reply, I cloned the git repository you mentioned, configured, the source, issued make and sudo make install, added my user to the video group, log out, then back in, issued gdb tvheadend -d -C, added dvb network by location (Italy), tvheadend started to find services, at about service number 320 it crashed with the following debug log (I hope it's more useful using gdb):

I noted from the debug log I pasted earlier that I made a mistake invoking tvheadend, instead of "gdb tvheadend -d -C" it would have been better to call "gdb tvheadend", then issue "run -d -C" in the gdb console, sorry for the inconvenience, here is the right debug log near the segfault:

Hi Gabriele,

What you need to do us obtain the gdb stack trace info.

When it crashes, under gdb, run the gdb command: by full

Sorry, only just got back to looking at this.

I'm not really the expert in these areas, but it looks to me like its incorrectly detected/reported a transponder for the wrong modulation scheme. This has then resulted in it trying to save parameters which don't exist and cause NULL ptr exceptions.

We could protect against the NUL ptr problems, but that still leaves the real question, of why did it try to save the wrong settings, unanswered. And there would no doubt be other problems down the line.

I need to get Andreas to take a look at it.

OK,

we think we might have discovered what's causing this. TVH parsers service descriptors regardless of whether they have meaning on the current delivery mechanism.

So it would appear in this case you're using a DVB-T system, but the broadcaster is (for some reason) sending sat delivery descriptors. TVH tries to create muxes based on this but because there is a mismatch between what is expected and what's provided it crashes.

I've created a patch (on my fork) to test this theory. If you could try this branch:
https://github.com/adamsutton/tvheadend/tree/issue/redmine-1030

I would really appreciate that. If the problem goes away and I've not completely broken things I'll merge to master.

Adam

Hi Adam,
I'm on holidays right now , tomorrow i'll be back home and will try the patch.
The system is a dvb-t.
Thanks again ! :-)

No problem.

I've actually discovered that currently automux detection doesn't even do anything on DVB-T as the code was never implemented. All those this is being changed.

But it would be good to know if this patch does work and that your broadcaster is indeed sending the wrong delivery descriptors (i.e. sending sat descriptors on a terrestrial network).

Adam

It looks like the real deal.

Following issue 251 https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/issues/251:
I used to get segmentation fault upon mux discovery that crushed tvheadend,
tvheadend was useable only with the mux update flag off.
Now I don't get any segmentation faults at all.
You should notice that due to the very low quality I got, I couldn't test any live stream,
but tvheadend do recognize the dvb-t service and list the channels and epg,
so I guess also gets the descriptors and doesn't crush.

Anyway, thanks for the fix and keeping the project alive (issue 251 long lived for 2 years) and making it useable for us.

Sorry for this late reply, I finally tried the main branch with Adam's changes and it all works perfectly now... I even have a good signal and fount more than 360 services, all the channel I tried via XBMC and I can watch them really perfectly.
Thank you for your efforts, the issue exists no more on my system! ^_
