HD-Sender with TVH 4.3 does not work in DVB-S2

Herby11

Hello,
after installing TVH 4.3 nearly all HD-Senders doesn't work anymore (only ZDF HD is working)
With TVH 4.2.8 it has worked as it should but now the Live TV doesn't even show a screen.
Kodi is installed on Libreelec 12 on a own created PC (ASRock Mini-ITX J3455B Mainboard, SSD, DVB-S2 Twin Tuner PCI (S2-4200))
Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance

I'm using "Tvheadend 4.3-2375" with a DVBS2 Tuner and every single HD-channel in Germany is working like it should. Das Erste, ZDFneo, Phoenix and so on. So tvheadend is not the root of your problems.

@Herby11 if you want to diagnose your problem, you'll probably need to supply a bit more information. Start by forgetting about Kodi and just use the TVH webui and linux CLI. Can you see what you expect in the EPG of the webui? Can you click on a program that you think is giving problems and then click to record it? Do you then see it in the Upcomin/Current Recordings sub-tab of the DVR tab? After it's been broadcast do you see it in the Finished Recodings tab? What happens when you click on the Play button in that tab?

Going back to the EPG, can you click on a programme that is being broadcast to play it?

Version which is running is HTS Tvheadend 4.3-2180 ~ LibreELEC Tvh-addon v12.0.0.3

EPG is everything fine, it shows all information as it should.
When I click on a sender like "RTL" it shows the live TV, when I click on "Das Erste HD" it is "stottering" and the Live TV is not coming up. Also on all other HD-Sender the same problem, only "ZDF HD" is working fine.

When I try to see live TV after "Das Erste HD" then it is not working anymore.
I need to click on STOP and afterwards the other senders are working again.

Recording shows only a black screen after loading a couple of time, but recording seems not to be the problem, because live TV is not working.

A few random thoughts:

LibreELEC 12 is fairly recent, but have you checked the LE forum to see if anybody has reported comparability issues with your DVB-S2 card?

Have you logged on to your LE system via SSH and run dmesg to see if any error messages are reported for your DVB-S2 card?

Which satellite are you using? Are you sure that all of the mux details that were loaded from your scan files are up-to-date and correct?

attached you can find the dmesg.
Could it be that the Caching settings from kodi can be involved there?
Crazy, the most problems in case of buffering and pixel/audio errors has "Das Erste HD".
I have no idea why this came from one moment to another...
1-2 weeks ago everything was fine.

I see nothing obviously wrong.

Herby11 Could it be that the Caching settings from kodi can be involved there?

Whilst not impossible, Kodi is a very mature, stable and popular media player. It's unlikely that Kodi is to blame, but you could test via the TVH WebUI to eliminate Kodi as a suspect.

19.2 has been moving services around a lot recently.
Try enabling this option and rescan the network:

Chris G I have tried without success 🙁

I have also tried with the handy-app from tvheadend, same issue:

Das Erste HD does not work and doesn't even load
RTL, RTL2, VOX are always working quite fine
Sat 1 does have sometimes problems with loading and whatching live tv.

With Webui the same, it is not working.
Just stottering and pixel-errors with no audio, but it is even not loading all the time, sometimes there is only a black screen. Tested on Das Erste HD or other HD senders (Niederbayern TV HD or BR Fernsehen HD.

On another TV with included Video Receiver, everything is working fine,

prosieben is also not working when I click on it and the former sender was VOX.
when I am watching Kabeleins before and click then on prosieben, it is working

in my first installation 10 years before, I have har to unload something in the DVB-config. Is this neccessary again?

Satelite is 19.2 Astra E

The Card has worked for more than 8 Years quite good, there where no compatibility problems
