Talking about dynamite, I'm using it because of my dvb-ttpci card and my usb dvb-t dongle. Their driver/firmware need to be reloaded from time to time.
There're 3 dvd-s cards and 1 dvb-t usb stick. I'm using the adapter_nr module feature to order the cards.
- card 0 : WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 (uses diseqc, can receive S28.2E and S19.2E)
- card 1 : WinTV-NOVA-S (uses diseqc, can receive S28.2E and S19.2E)
- card 2 : FF Rev. 1.5 (uses diseqc, can receive S28.2E)
- card 3 : rtl2832u
I'm using udev rules to configure the timeout and to pass an argument to the timeout_handler.
I'm using vdr 1.7.30 atm, I've been observing one weird behaviour for quite a long time now:
A ported patch for vdr 1.7.31 has been added to the git repository of dynamite: https://github.com/flensrocker/vdr-plugin-dynamite
In the plugin itself I dropped support for older 1.7.x version, so maybe you have to switch to vdr 1.7.31 if possible to debug this issue.
after I watch a recording my dynamite-patched-vdr often reloads card #0 for no apparent reason. When the recording ends, i get a black screen instead of live tv. After the timeout my handler script detach the card from vdr, reloads the dvb driver and reattach the card. After the card is detached vdr automatically switches to another card, that's an expected behavior. After the card is reattached i can use femon to switch back to card #0: it's working again.
Have you any logging from such a situation? dynamite is rather verbose so that may be helpful. Besides GetTS-timeout have you also set an idle-timeout?
So you would say: buggy driver.
But lately i've been commenting out the driver reload part in my handler script: to fix the black screen you just have to detach the card from vdr then reattach it. (nothing more)
So I guess it's rather an issue with the dynamite patch, have you ever encountered it or a similar behavior ?
Haven't seen such behaviour before, but I don't use this feature... :) When implemented I tested it with a DVB-USB-stick which I unplugged when a stream was in progress.
