Bug #1917
Git master fails to find services in some muxes that 3.3 could discover
0%
Description
tvheadend 3.3 had some issues tuning into some channels where I had to do 'killall tvheadend' (and restart) to make the stream work. Since I'm forced to use that closed source crap TBS6618 driver I can't safely say who's at fault, the driver or tvheadend. Anyway, fast forward to this week and the troublesome channels don't even show up anymore when tvheadend scans the muxes! I know that lcn 112 should contain HBO2, but tvheadend says:
Jan 07 08:32:22 soekris tvheadend10610: mpegts: 396000 - starting for 'initscan' (weight 2)
Jan 07 08:32:22 soekris tvheadend10610: mpegts: 396000 - tuning on /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
Jan 07 08:32:22 soekris tvheadend10610: subscription: 'initscan' subscribing to mux, weight: 2, adapter: '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0', network: 'Ziggo', mux: '396000'
Jan 07 08:32:37 soekris tvheadend10610: mpegts: 396000 - initial scan no data, failed
Is there a way to force tvheadend to take a closer look into that mux? And is there a way to see if this is caused by a buggy driver or the dvb rewrite?

Updated by No data was received on that mux, at all. You're able to receive that with other systems?
What about other muxes? Are you still able to receive them?
Try attaching a debug log using the following options to start:
--trace mpegts,linuxdvb,pat -l tvh.log

Updated by I'm able to receive it on my TV, I haven't tried other systems, this is the only system within reach of the coax 
Other muxes work fine and I can really notice that channel switching is both faster and more reliable after updating from 3.3 to git master. I'll upload the log after it finish the initscan.

The log confirms what I suggested, there is no signal on that mux. Or at least TVH is unable to receive a signal on that mux. There is brief reports of a signal of sorts, but nothing decodable. And clearly something is meant to be there as its picking up service information from tables on other muxes.
Maybe double check the mux configuration? Looking at that log file there are quite a few muxes in your configuration that seem to be unusable (i.e. not locking / no data).

I found all services with w_scan, but not with tvheadend.

Updated by Same issue on raspberry pi - w_scan detects all the services of this mux while tvheadend current git doesn't.

Guys,
are either of you able to provide access to your systems? It's probably the quickest route to a solution.

Not sure if my observation is the same bug but...
using 3.9.379 (Master at noon GMT, Monday Feb 3). I have an adapter defined for 28E2 (Freesat). I did not use the pre-populated muxes, but added one mux manually from the data in http://en.kingofsat.net/pos-28.2E.php 10847000 DBV-S2 with BBC ONE HD etc. Network discovery = true, skip initial scan = false.
The Muxes display showed that only this mux was added, with 6 services. No other muxes appeared.
I had to restart tvheadend before the other muxes populated.
Among the newly found muxes was 10.817.500 V DVB-S, but after Initial Scan, this showed no services. King of Sat says the proper frequency is 10.818.000 V, so when I added that value manually, it populated with 9 services (BBC 1 Oxford, BBC News, etc).
I am going the manual add route, because using the predefined muxes for 28E2, I did not get most of the BBC services discovered.
Updated by Rob vh almost 11 years ago
For most of the muxes that show 0 services (on the 28E2), if I edit the mux and remove the "Initial scan complete" flag, the number of services jumps to a non-zero number and the services are added. Is the timeout for the initial discovery too low?

Current git HEAD (c84bc2b Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/pr/338') seems to detect everything 3.3 could detect. So I have HBO back in time for the new Game of Thrones season

Looks to be fixed by last report.

Updated by I've switched from 3.4 to 3.9 latest git today and discovered that I can't scan 'Ku 10750' on Eutelsat 36E. Attached debug logs. Hopefully there can be workaround.
