Tvheadend

There's no change since Fri Oct 23 21:26:12 2015 +0200 in the rotor code. You may also use '--trace diseqc' to see which command is sent to your positioner.

And no, tvh should not sent an unknown GOTOX position to the rotor at start..

Why the hell did it move ?

Hey I have an idea for the positioner ppl. try not GUESSING where the motor is. TRY ACTUALLY just moving to the programmed numbers and actually just tuning the damn channel's correctly without re-scanning &retuning at the same time. What a freaky way to set up GOTOX

TVH should only do an initial waiting when the first GOTOX is issued (move rotor to the first requested position after tvh start). Nothing else. I cannot tell you anything without the diseqc log.

No idea where it went wrong, not sure where the log is , never really needed to look. All I can say is, a newly installed version of tvheadend. It's gone through the setup wizard, I usually click next & continue all the way to the end. Maybe it's shifted it here, maybe on enable'ing the dvb-s2 adapter, maybe on the first time it tuned. You should know when and why. Ask these guys why they created it this way, it's terrible to walk out and see your dish bent over after only installing tvheadend. This has happened twice now unexpectedly. I know I could have set limits up west and east, but I've never needed to before. The inclination bolt on my 3m CBAND mesh dish is so bent now I can't receive all TP's on the same bird.

Point is if you're not moving to a specific position, as this is all tvheadend can do anyway, why is it moving to anything else w/out command. I'm scared to use tvheadend to do anything now afraid the dish will collapse in on itself

I am sorry, but you are asking for a support, but you didn't give me any useable hints. I explained what tvh should do, where you might have look and I cannot offer anything else. I can analyze logs for you, but you must give me some. Again, tvh should turn the positioner only to configured positions. When the first satellite position is requested (tuned) then tvh waits for the time specified by 'Rotor initialization time (seconds)' configuration value, because the actual position is not known. That's all.

All I can do mate is fix the bolt (which is hard to get through various sources, shops & what not) and then when I install a new version of tvheadend next time , put all the debug features on and see what happens. But should be easy enough to locate in your code what the problem is. Would be something around the first tuning of any satellite when enabling GOTOX. Obviously it's going to '0' automatically, or some such bullshit. Even though using a timer for tuning the channel when it arrives to the burd is completely stupid imho.
