Hi, I'm using RPi2 with Tvh 4.2.4-6 on Raspbian Jessie last release. All working fine beside Data errors / Continuity errors in DVB-C stream. I was trying m...

I guessing that somehow when DVR start there is a not enough resource to operate controller communication
with make lag with extend to this bad result.

As you see IRQBalance give some positives but finally result is same.

Well, actually I have what I wanted to have at the begining of this topic. I had many continuity errors. After install OSMC everything works fine, much better than on Raspbian with Kodi - video is smoothness, all running quicker, backup all system .img via Clonezilla has just 400 MB.

At the moment my RPi2 running as:
- Kodi with streamning movies from internet,
- playing and recording TV from DVB-C with VERY SMALL quantity of errors even when I play HD movie form internet at the same time while Tvh is recording. For example today recordings (1,5 hour) have just overall 8 continuity errors,
- RPI Webcam Interface is running in background,

- rtranscode for streaming and transcoding Live TV via openvpn to VPS.

Probably I leave idea to have second device (rpi, OP or other microcomputer) strict for tvheadend.

MANY THANKS Mark and Saen for your help !!!!!!!!

632 = unstable 4.3.632.

Mine doesn't even last long enough to see top -H! I can't even stream! After a few seconds of data from a mux (data ramps up), bang. If I unplug the tuner, everything goes back to normal.

It's a shame really, I remember using the silabs sticks on it (and the OPi PC) ages ago & they were fine. But I dunno. I'll stick to using my other devices & use this for dev.

Is your power supply is powerful enough?

Testing that is next on my list :)

I wonder if there had been any update on running Tvheadend on OrangePi Zero (Plus)? I intend to buy a Zero Plus (HC5), not the Zero Plus 2. Would use it only as a Tvheadend backend for DVB-C with one USB tuner, Mygica T230 (Geniatech T230).

Probably running Armbian,TVH version 4.3. (Maybe with docker, bit will see about that).
