Scanning stops loading/scanning

Hi, When scanning TV stations, the scanning stops refreshing/loading/scanning in the browser and does not move - at 75% Any ideas? Thanks, Lee

thomaz Or even better, how can i scan the complete dvb-c frequency range from 0-1000mhz with tvheadend?

You can't do that with TVH, but there is an external utility called w_scan that you could try.

https://docs.tvheadend.org/documentation/setup/muxes-scan-files/using-w_scan-scan-files

Once you have the new scan file, you could use that during setup instead of one of the pre-loaded ones.

thomaz The only way to run tvh 4.3 latest on lubuntu is to "empty" the "var/lib/tvheadend" folder (except the superuser kindergarten security file) and copy all data from my super old coreelec 9.0.1

Perhaps a comparison between your v4.2 configuration files and your non-functional v4.3 configuration files could reveal the source of the issue.

thomaz

fresh config (empty folder) = scan stops at 53% with 4.3 on lubuntu
fresh config (empty folder) = scan runs to 100% with 4.2 on coreelec 9.0.1

so there is no "source of issue" 😛

also why does tvheadend make so much useless time wasting security/permission shit?
atm im not able to record to a folder because your crap tool only show 0/0/0

whats going on in theese coder brains to create linux app which works good and easy on coreelec but totally crappy unusable for "Normal" people on lubuntu?

are you paid by some dvb company for this to prevent "Normal" people from using it?

thank you very much! 🙁

You are blaming the Tvheadend version but ignoring the rather different drivers (and likely firmware) running on different hardware. DVB configurations are frequently fickle and how things behave ultimately depends on the entire software stack and not solely the Tvheadend software. I'm not particularly surprised if there's a difference between the Amlogic vendor kernel on a CE box (truly awful driver code, but hacked over time towards media use-cases) and a Lubuntu (general purpose distro) setup. It's not an Apples vs. Apples comparison.

NB: It might make you feel better to offload in forum posts, but pithy comments aren't going to rally any of the all-volunteer staff and other users to your cause. If you want help; focus on providing technical information and not the whinging. If you don't want help then you're in the wrong forum.

AGAIN!

to have a working tvh 4.3 i have to use the complete folder of a 4.2 installation.
Then i can tune every channel and watch every channel without any fckng problem in 4.3.

So there is no problem on MY SIDE!!!

When i then delete everything in "Userdata\addon_data\service.tvheadend43" and try to make a new config from scratch 4.3 JUST STOPS SCANNING!

HOW ABOUT AN ANTI-STOP MECHANISM.
IF stop THEN force resume at next frequency till transpoder list is fully scanned!

And why arent we allowed to use the WORKING 4.2 version with latest libreelec?

In my opinion this is a well known bug and since the coders arent very intelligent they just want to disguise it 🙁

chewitt

thomaz And why arent we allowed to use the WORKING 4.2 version with latest libreelec?

because the last update was in 2018 and it is no longer supported by the Tvheadend project

thomaz and since the coders arent very intelligent

Insulting the people you are asking help from rarely inspires them to rally around your cause ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The CAPS-LOCK KEY on your keyboard appears to be temperamental too.

To make it short:
THIS WORKS AND I GET ALL 426 SERVICES (since vodafone germany channel re-order some weeks ago):
LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-12.0.2.img.gz service.tvheadend42-12.0.0.2.zip

THIS DOESNT WORK (Scan starts but stops and also the drivers seems to stop. All 0 0 0 0 in status, and also no "Force Scan", etc could make it come back, only a libreelec reboot):
LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20260516-7374d38.img.gz service.tvheadend43-12.80.7.2.zip

Both Libreelecs have 100% the same settings.
So, what do i make wrong?
Please tell me!

DaveH

I suggest trying the same version of TVH with each version of LibreELEC. Or try each version of TVH with the SAME version of LibreELEC. Changing both at the same time means nobody can tell anything about what is going on.

thomaz

Now i made the final test.

I used "LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-12.0.2.img.gz" with 4.2 AND 4.3.

service.tvheadend42-12.0.0.2.zip = ALL WORKS LIKE A CHARM
service.tvheadend43-12.0.0.3.zip = SCAN STOPS @ 22%

So its 100% tvheadend 4.3 🙁

I also had failed scans with Hauppauge 460e, which i then resold for this reason. 🙁

So what must i do to get a fully 100% working tvheadend 4.3?

Insulting the people yeah but when after a decade no change happens then u get angry somtime. 🙁

thomaz

And now immedietly back to 4.2:

And ... wooow 429 instead of 426 🙂 My provider added 3 more services 🙂

davep

So what must i do to get a fully 100% working tvheadend 4.3?

Use git bisect to find the point in the commit history at which the scan stopped working.

thomaz

Now i recognized that latest Libreelec 13 + latest tvheadend for Wetek Play 2 incl. The internal Tuner works. 🙂

Making a new tvheadend config from scratch ... ... TUNING JUST STOPS!
Another totally completely different setup and tvheadend just stops tuning!
Another proof that it must be major known problem of tvh, but devs are trying to hide it desperately?

The only way to use tvh 43 on le 13 is to use the "addon_data" tuning/scanning folder from a successful coreelec 9.0.1 + tvh42 scan.

Used:
https://test.libreelec.tv/13.0/Amlogic/box/LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20260713-adc7db6-box.img.gz
https://addons.libreelec.tv/12.80.7/ARMv8/aarch64/service.tvheadend43/service.tvheadend43-12.80.7.9.zip

And @chewitt: u can note that DVB-S Tuner from Wetek Play 2 works. 🙂
