Hi!
Now that I have a spare DVB-S2 tuner (TechniSat SkyStar USB HD(adapter2); the others on this box are atm Hauppauge Nova-TD model 1172 (adapter 0+1) and TechnoTrend S2-3600 (adapter3) - all USB) I decided to play with vdr device bonding. I discovered three things: (still using vdr 1.7.29, I know I should upgrade... :)
- The LNB setup OSD menu causes bonding to fail (it's trying to bond a DVB-T tuner) if I set the two DVB-S2 tuners as "connected to sat cable 1"; it works with "sat cable 2". Maybe it somehow thinks of (one of?) the DVB-T tuner(s) as cable 1 too?
What does the "Setup/LNB" menu look like on your system? Does it list only the two DVB-S devices, or all four of them? Which device numbers does it display?
What does the "DeviceBondings = ..." line in setup.conf look like in both cases (working/not working)?
working:
Einstellungen - LNBDiSEqC benutzen: nein SLOF (MHz): 11700 Untere LNB-Frequenz (MHz): 9750 Obere LNB-Frequenz (MHz): 10600 Device 3 angeschlossen an Sat-Kabel: 2 Device 4 angeschlossen an Sat-Kabel: 2
->DeviceBondings = 1 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
broken:

You wrote that your DVB-S2 device is "adapter2". Does this mean it is actually "adaper2/frontend0" and "adapter2/frontend1"?
No the other DVB-S2 tuner is adapter3 (TechnoTrend S2-3600), all four only have frontend0 no frontend1.
Have you appliead any patches to VDR?
Currently the two patches belonging to the iptv and ttxtsubs plugins and my stb0899 signal strength patch, and of course the FreeBSD portability patches.
If so, what happens without them?
I will have to check that later tho I guess they are unrelated...
Same for plugins.
I just started vdr with just the xineliboutput plugin (I don't have an ff card) and got the same
DeviceBondings = 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
when setting both DVB-S2 tuners as ".. connected to sat cable 1".
I wonder, could this be a result of me running vdr with only the DVB-S2 tuners once and the first 1 in DeviceBondings that I may have set then simply doesn't get reset when the first two tuners became DVB-T?
I'll have to further look into this, but you might be on to something here. Please stop VDR, set that line to
DeviceBondings = 0 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
manually and restart VDR. Does it work then?
Yeah, looks like. (I should have tested that earlier... :)
Just one more thing: did you get any log messages regarding device bonding when it didn't work?
Sure, I just reproduced it:
ERROR: can't bond device 3 with device 1 (only DVB-S(2) devices can be bonded)
Btw did you take a look at the bondMutex vs mutex locking yet? I've had no further deadlocks with the second patch now.
I was a little cnfused about this at first ;-) Will look into it later.
BTW: you sent your original posting "To" me and "Cc"d the VDR-ML. Therefore my reply inadvertently only went to you and not to the list. I'm no replying explicitly to the list. Please send postings only to the list and do not Cc me (unless you only want to contact me privately).
Oh, sorry, will try to remember.
Thanx, Juergen
