What could cause the decryption of a channel to fail sometimes, but not
always? I'm not using my old 0.20 database, I started with a fresh one.
And I tried rescanning the channels, and the LMSc did seem to happen
less frequently after that, but now it seems to be happening again just
as much as before, so perhaps that was just a coincidence and the
phenomenon just comes and goes.<br>
<br>
How can I get some logging or debugging output that would help me find
out *why* the channel is not being decrypted? What has changed in
version 0.21 that could cause decrypting DVB-C channels to be so much
more problematic than in version 0.20?<br>
<br>
I'm also still curious what the M and the S stand for.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<pre wrap="">I recently installed MythTV 0.21 on my Ubuntu Server 8.04. It has a
TechnoTrend Budget C-1500 (DVB-C) card with a Multicrypt CAM which has
worked perfectly with MythTV 0.20 on Fedora Core 5 so far, but now I'm
having trouble.
Very often when tuning to a new channel when watching live TV I will get
the letters LMS. which will after a few seconds turn into LMSc and then
nothing more will happen. When it gets into this state it usually starts
doing it for any channel I try to tune to, but when I try often enough
it sometimes clears up and will tune to a channel it previously
couldn't. If I restart the backend the situation usually clears up for a
while (I can tune to a channel which wouldn't work before the restart).
This is annoying enough, but even more frustrating is that it also
happens when recording scheduled programs! The symptom is that the
recording appears to start fine, but when I try to start the recorded
program in the frontend I get the message "the recorded file cannot be
found" (I'm paraphrasing), and sure enough if I look in my recordings
directory there is no corresponding mpg file and nothing has been
recorded. (I don't actually know whether this is the same problem, but
it does seem likely.) It does this about half the time, which is
extremely frustrating. I've already missed many programs I would very
much liked to have seen...
This didn't happen at all with version 0.20, recording scheduled
programs was rock solid in that version, so it must have something to do
with changes in version 0.21 (or possibly the OS since I also went from
Fedora Core 5 to Ubuntu Server 8.04). I'm hoping the good people on this
list can help me find out what's going on. I have a couple of specific
questions:
* What does the C in LMSC stand for (for that matter, what do the other
letters mean)?

<pre wrap=""><!---->Probably you used your .20 database which was upgraded to .21.
Rescanning your channels might improve matters.
Another option is the .21-fixes version and also rescanning. With DVB-S
I also had these troubles.
