HDPVR and Live TV - Does anyone have this working?

I have two HDPVR's since my cable provider has the copy bit set. The
HDPVR is doing a good job recording shows but since my cable provider
will start phasing out analog channels I want to get live tv working for
my wife. When I change channels with my HD Home Run in live TV the
channel changes fine. When I try to do the same with the HDPVR 80% of
the time I get a failure. The jist of the failure is that mythtv can
not find the ringbuffer file to play from. The initial channel is found
correctly but on channel change is when the failure happens.

Is anyone else able to watch live tv from the hdpvr input?

I bug was found recently in the HD-PVR kernel driver. Once that is
fixed, it should solve your problem.

If you compile from source, I can send you a patch for Myth, that
seems to help. Which version of Myth are you running?

I'd be interested. I'm running master. Do you know what kernel version
will have the fix?

John,

My parents have a similar setup, two HDPVR as well, two frontends can
start live tv fine and play, but at the show change marks one of the
frontends stops playing, the other seems to ride through the program
change fine, but not always. The recording files for the new shows get
created and have data, so it seems as though the backend is properly
tuning and recording which is also what I see in the backend log.

is this somewhat similar to what you're seeing?

I am not in a position to test the attached patch at this time.
However, a couple of months ago, when I was looking into the problem,
I found that lowering the timeout for read errors from 2.5 seconds to
1 second allowed LiveTV to recover better from glitches. The attached
patch makes that change.

Here is a link to the driver patch that will *probably* make this
change unnecessary:

http://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/media-next.git/blobdiff/63ae37ea5186a6890a8968611180dc61118f719d..afa159538af61f1a65d48927f4e949fe514fb4fc:/drivers/media/video/hdpvr/hdpvr-video.c

This patch appears that is may be a kernel module or something like that
and not a part of the standard git download of mythtv.
Can you point me to a wiki on how to install the patch you provided?

Sorry, it seems I managed to confuse the situation. The *link* I
provided was for a kernal patch, the should make the patch I
*attached* unnecessary.

I am attaching the Myth patch, again.

If the attached patch does seem to help, please let me know and I will
make sure it is included in 0.25

Hi,

A bit late to this thread. I've had two HDPVR's running, with Firewire channel change on two Motorola 6200's for a week now. Everythings been flawless.

I'm running a stock Mythbuntu 10.10

Another later reply (with top posting fixed):

Running Debian-multimedia on my MBE and two FE's (0.24-fixes) with one
HDPVR and two PVR150's. Most channel changes work, occasionally get
buffering issues but it generally works. Having said that, the same
system with master (as of last night) I can't get a single channel
change to work.

Andrew.

John P. Poet -

Until I found and applied your Myth patch to .25 fixes, I had been experiencing Live TV channel change failures with my HDPVR on kernel 3.3.7 (which already includes the hdpvr driver patch you mentioned). Your patch does work and should certainly be committed - I am sure it would help other HDPVR users who continue to have Live TV issues with the latest stable Myth release. Thanks for your help!

Channel changes seem to be smoother with the
HD-PVR-signalmonitor.patch applied and I have not noticed any adverse
effects to this point. One question though: was this meant to
replace the hdpvr-timeout.patch or to be used along with it?

UPDATE: after running for about an hour and a half on the same
channel, mythbackend died with 'Bus error (core dumped)'. I don't
know if this is related to the patch but I never had this error before
I applied it.

Thanks, Johnathan.

Today (for some reason) I was easily able to reproduce the Bus error. New
version of the patch should fix that:

It does seem to be fixed - I've been running for almost 3 hours
without the bus error.

Thanks for testing. I will likely commit that to both master and
0.25-fixes tomorrow.

Note: With that patch, I have been able to reduce the sleep at the bottom
of my channel change script to only 1 second. My STBs are Directv units
controlled via USB.

I have committed this fix to both master and 0.25-fixes. I would
appreciate reports from users on how well it works (or doesn't work) for
them.

I am using 0.25 fixes from git as of 2 jun with fedora 16 and still having
some live tv issues. For those that have this working, what firmware
version of hdpvr are you using?

Thanks,

Mark

I loaded the latest firmware on the HDPVR, with the recent kernel in F16
and 0.21.1 fixes rev 148 from git
and it works about the same. You can still mess up live tv by using the
guide, but it seem to hold in there
after it is going. It still does the double startup thing where it fails to
lock the first time then locks the second.

Livetv transition however was wonderful, hardly noticeable.
