0.22 Now and Next only instead of 8 day EPG, lot of CRC errors

Just upgraded to 0.22 (backend on CentOS5, mysql on another CentOS5,
frontend on Fedora11)

I had a couple of minor snags on the way (qt44 seems to have
disappeared from atrpms so I found that elsewhere, utf8/latin1
problems with database but recreating/restoring DB as per wiki didn't
fix that, so I had to empty my 'people' table as it had some corrupt
looking rows).

I have deleted/recreated all sources/tuners and done a full channel
scan which went OK.

Previously using "EIT only" was working fine with 0.21 but with 0.22 I
only seem to be getting "Now and Next" programme information, rather
than the full 8 day EPG.

With verbose logging on the backend enabled I see lots of

2009-11-07 18:27:10.369 PESPacket: Failed CRC check 0x66182710 !=
0xc3bfa4b5 for StreamID = 0x70
2009-11-07 18:27:11.309 PESPacket: Failed CRC check 0x66182710 !=

2009-11-07 18:27:12.297 PESPacket: Failed CRC check 0x66182711 !=
0xc3bfa4b5 for StreamID = 0x70
2009-11-07 18:27:12.345 PESPacket: Failed CRC check 0x66182712 !=

2009-11-07 18:27:13.285 PESPacket: Failed CRC check 0x66182712 !=

2009-11-07 18:27:13.333 PESPacket: Failed CRC check 0x66182713 !=
0xc3bfa4b5 for StreamID = 0x70
2009-11-07 18:27:14.325 PESPacket: Failed CRC check 0x66182713 !=
0xc3bfa4b5 for StreamID = 0x70

Which I notice other people had several years ago.

What seems strange when looking at the source of logging in
mythtv/libs/libmythtv/mpeg/pespacket.cpp

VERBOSE(VB_SIPARSER,
QString("PESPacket: Failed CRC check 0x%1 != 0x%2 "
"for StreamID = 0x%3")
.arg(CRC(),0,16).arg(CalcCRC(),0,16).arg(StreamID(),0,16));

it seems the received value for CRC is increasing by 1 every other
packet (I'd expect them to be essentially random not monotonic) and
the calculated value of the CRC is the same every time (I'd expect
this to also be essentially random not constant).

So it seems likely to me that something has its offsets into the
TSPacket structure munged.

I see several other people on the list with EIT problems, thoughts anyone?

Hi There,

Are you in the UK, using freeview?

I just been fiddling with my 0.21 systems video sources. after
reverting to EIT (was playing with RT XML feed) I also have only
now-next data coming though (for the last couple of hours at least) so
could be a transmission issue as nothing else has changed on my
system.

R

Thanks And Regards,

Richard Morton

Yes, I should have mentioned that!

OK, I'll see what happens for the next few hours/days ... Guess I
might miss a few scheduled recordings ...

I just tried powering off/on my TV, that gathered EPG information for
the next day or so quite quickly, so unless it's just some MUXes with
bad SI table, I'm not convinced that's what's foxing myth.

Thanks

Hmmm odd, one channel (4Music) is receiving more than just Now&Next,
it has programmes for the full 8 days ... maybe it does depend which
MUX a tuner is left on when EIT kicks in?

But even so I'd expect it to be getting the other MUX-D channels if
that was the case (yes I know all muxes broadcast EPG for all channels
not just their own, but they tend to prioritise their own channels at
least in the short term)

I rebooted the xen host that my backend runs within and that seems to
have sorted it, full EPG now being built for all channels, still
waiting for a few gap to fill.

Odd how just 4Music was working before, but xen has caused weird
issues every now and then.

Mine has now and next for all channels then a few gaps for the
remainder of today, the rest of the week looks solid, the backend
still reports CRC errors if I turn on verbose EIT logging, perhaps one
MUX is carrying duff SI tables?
