TVH stop working

Marcin N

Hello again :D

from few days i have some issues with TVH and i cant find why, i'm upgraded kodi to 17.5 and ubuntu to 17.10 at the same time, and after this live tv sometimes work few hours, sometimes few minutes and TVH is crash, at first i though the signal is too weak, but it is min. 85% and generally over 90%. so i dont know where is the problem, in logs i see many transport errors, sound is moved about 1 sec to screen, so maybe codecs?? vaapi ?

so i;m confused, i dont know is it problem ubuntu, kodi or TVHm but i think TVH cause it crash randomly.

what log to provide ?

today some channels wont play, so i think is maybe signal problem (few days ago was orkan in english some kind of low hurricane) and maybe antena was moved, TVH show 99% signal on mux, but kodi says no input signal :O)

at weekend i try to find old DVB reciver and check signal

for now TVH logs

Yes, that log suggests a signal or tuner issue.

hello again :D

today i made some test casue tvh still stops streaming and crash tvh

1. before start in TVH Status->Stream Signal on almost all muxes was 90-99% but still transport errors, stop stream and crash
2. connected standard old dvb reciver signal 89-90%, quality 60-65% - move antena to signal 90%, quality 70-80%

3. connected pc with tvh Status->Stream Signal on almost all muxes is 65-75%!!! but no transport errors, no stop stream and no crash

so in my opinion tvh show not signal but quality, and it shows it wrong, cause when was almost ideal 90-99% i have transport errors, and now when i have 65-75% it woks perfect without any errors.

and second thing should i report bug for crashing tvh when is no signal or sugnal problem or it is a feature ?

Yes, please do if you can include the crash lines and/or the core dump (install corekeeper & tvheadend-dbg).
