Are there known problems with using multiple of these tuners at the same time?
I have finally got around to creating enclosures for my xbox one tuners, I have 6 tuners where each tuner is set to a single mux (there are 6 of interest here in UK for me), as each tuner is set to a mux I can stream/record any number of combination of channels that I like, I am using tvheadend with emby.
I have the tuners connected to a couple of hubs.
This has been a long term project that I've finally managed to get back to now that I have a 3D printer, I've 3D printed enclosures for the tuners and also the hub+poswer supply, this gives me a rather neat looking system.
I have had this setup working on various hardware configurations, from a raspberry pi 4, to an mini x86 pc to the current hardware which is an x86 virtual machine on a powerful server, one of my USB host controllers has been passed straight through to the VM so it is using that port directly.
The issue I have had since the start is that after an u unknown amount of time, the driver crashes, I see kernel error messages and the tuners themselves have to be unplugged and plugged back in to get them to re-enumerate. I initially thought this was an issue with the Pi 4, so I switched to using a x86 mini pc, but the problem transferred with it. Last week, I switched to the VM and low and behold the same issue is occurring.
The crash doesn't appear to happen when I just have one xbox one tuner connected, it's when I start adding other tuners in that the crashes start.
The crash normally is in the dib0700 driver, but I have been it in other parts of the system, like the frontend driver mn(something).
Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a solution? Am I the only person with this problem? Is it a problem specific for this particular tuner? Are there any tuners that are known to work with multiple connected?
If it means swapping out the tuners for something else, then that's not a problem, I can make whatever modifications I need to accommodate other tuners in my enclosures, but at the moment it's so flakey that I really don't know where the problem is.
Thanks
