[mythtv-users] mythtv-0.22, no EIT

  Hmmm... ok that is a significant detail! Can you temporarily add your DVB-S to your MBE and see if they work ok?



  _______________________________________________

I thought that it might make a difference (not that it should). I am not going to be able to do it for around a week. Difficulty is that the MBE and SBE are in different parts of the house. Obviously, to test this, I am going to have to get the satellite signal to the MBE somehow, and we have visitors comming.

Couldn't be bothered to re-type my config, so here is a copy of my previous post, which at the end has the config and setup. I have changed versions of trunk since then, waiting for a couple of hours of comfort before I go to the next database schema, currently: 21075. There were no responses to this, so I think that it is possibly an edge-case scenario.

Hi,
Can someone confirm whether they have a similar setup running?
I am running trunk (21006, ?tuesday?), and cannot decide whether

this is a bug - so I'll open a ticket (there is one open on scanning, but I 
believe this is channel scanning, not EIT)
user error - happy for this to be shown
not (re-)implemented /yet/ in trunk- so I'll shut up and do something else, 
I believe the EIT scanner was re-written. (I understand that by running 
trunk there are areas which are likely to not be in a production capable 
state, but I cannot see any tickets which relate to this problem 
specifically on EIT)


My previous setup was .20, and it worked as:

MBE - 3x DVB-T tuner cards with a video source set as DVB-T. Used over 
air-guide as only listings source

SBE - 1x Hauppage Nova-HD-S2, with a video source set as DVB-S. Used over 
air-guide as only listings source

Now I am on trunk with the same hardware, and in theory same configuration. 
The MBE can correctly perform EIT scans on the DVB-T cards, with logging 
EIT, I can see the shows being detected.

The SBE does not seem to correctly perform the EIT scan. It does not appear 
to download the shows and list them the same was as the MBE with logging 
EIT. If I use liveTV, I can use the DVB-S card to correctly change to 
channels (correct channel number as before) and watch TV, but no EPG.

So, if the question above cannot be answered simply, can we get responses on 
the following (if they are positive, it must be user error!):

Is anyone using trunk with EIT and Freesat ONLY
Is anyone successfully running trunk with EIT and Freesat as the main 
listings grabber in a SLAVE Backend ONLY?

Thanks,
Gareth


(configuration steps if someone wants to show me the error of my ways)
After initial failure, I went to SBE, and deleted video sources, I then 
deleted video cards on /this host/
I then went to MBE, deleted video sources, and then deleted cards on /ALL 
HOSTS/
I then added 3x DVB-T (all x2 multirec) cards to the MBE + video source 
called DVB-T. Performed scan for channels. Ran mythfilldatabase, started 
MBE, EIT started for these cards.
With MBE running, went to SBE. Added DVB-S card (x2 multirec+LNB eurpoean 
setup, +recording options, 2000ms timeout, allow use for active EIT, not 
open on demand), and created video source DVB-S. I then had to use scandvb 
to scan the Astra-28.2E, then used this as a channels.conf import Found 1045 
non-conflicting channels. Then 51 conflicting channels, used suggest to add 
them. Then 33 conflicting mpeg channels, again used suggest to add them. I 
then went back and performed a scan of existing transports. (for both of 
these I have used the 'ignore signal timeout option' which I hadn't before, 
and initially I did try without the second scan).
I then exited mythtv-setup on the SBE. There was no request to run 
mythfilldatabase. I started the SBE. and nada. Here I have made the 
assumption that the MBE should not need to be restarted (it has been a 
couple of times through these problems anyway).

No data in EPG either (as viewed by mythweb).
