Tvheadend

The same issues is in also version 3.5.243

Same issue with the latest build

I can see that I am not the only with his issue, I was beginning to think that is was just my setup that was the problem.

I must say that it is the best project in its class I have seen, in some point it even exceeds professional solutions.

I have not yet donated to the project, which I should have done, but this error has held me back.
So, if this bug can be fixed, i have decided to donate 500€ to the project.

Hope to hear from you soon..

This is actually reasonably well understood problem. Just no one has had time to fully investigate the potential side-effects of making any changes.

For reasons I do not know, it appears that a hard limit of 2 NOKs was put on the CWC code. After this is simply fails to do anything until you completely stop the service and restart.

Clearly not a good thing, and it's caught me out before, but I've since switched to capmt and so not given it much thought since.

As a quick and dirty hack you could try removing these 2 lines from src/descrambler/cwc.c:

if (es->es_nok > 2)
        break; /* too many NOK responses in a row */

I think that will keep it sending requests, and as long as it eventually gets a valid one it will remove the block and continue. Though I've never tested this myself.

Hi Adam

Thank for your suggestion, i will try that, and get back to you.

Another quite annoying issue, is that maapped channels gets swapped around after restart of Tvheadend.. Is there a fix for that too?..

Claus

Nice to hear this is going to be fixed, ive had this problem aswell, about the channel swapping, you say its id is changing ? ive found that the best fix for that is to give your channels numbers instead of all 0, for some reason they will keep their id then.

I can confirm that removing the above 2 lines indeed works.
