freezing tvheadend

Marcin N

hi, on last few builds (unstable repo) descrambling is freezing, and tvhedend dont responding, cant login via http. only restart solve problem.

freezing is randomly, sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after 5 hours. on some channels are offen then others. i dont know where is the problem.

EDIT: two weeks ago i changed ISP to LTE provider - maybe this is the issue, but on second reciver without tvhedend in the same network everything works ok.

I'm having the same problems since a day or two (after updating to latest unstable). I can't find any errors in oscam but TVHeadend freezes. Usually I can restart tvheadend with: service tvheadend restart but sometimes I need to manually restart the whole server. Symptoms are exactly the same, web interface freezes, oscam keeps running (and finding keys). Restart tvheadend and tv working again....

Is there any possibility to downgrade to a previous version until the problems are resolved. It's not really possible to watch TV now....

i'm back to 4.1.1555 all works without any issues

Chris Koster

How did you downgrade to that specific version?

i'm using ubuntu, so find repository https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/ubuntu/ and download one of previous version and reinstall

I'm still having problems after updating to the latest version from unstable. I see in other topics the TVheadend crashes are solved but this freezing problem is not gone. Video stops working, web interface stops working. Last log line in syslog:

/var/log/syslog:7017:Mar 15 20:52:26 nuc-server tvheadend[23593]: descrambler: ECM - key late (38771 ms) for service "SBS6 HD"

since then oscam keeps running and finding ecm:

2016/03/15 20:52:35 623785C9 c (ecm) tvheadend (1801@007911/0000/4B03/4A:DA4413FF59DDC687CD004AD1A1088775): found (26 ms) by Reader-1 (P/2/2/2)

I have also downgraded to tvheadend_4.1-1555~g414512d~trusty_amd64 and all is wokring good now. Will file an issue tomorrow. I'm not sure this thread is read by all programmers working on the project.
