Not detecting second frontend right in multiple frontend card HVR-4000

[rudy1210]

With a Hauppauge HVR-4000 which has been installed as adapter0 with frontend0 = DVB-S (Conexant cx-24116/cx24118) and frontend1 = DVB-T (Conexant cx-22702), both frontends are detected as DVB-S.

An symbolic adaptater1 frontend0 has been created with links to adapter0 frontend1 but this is not detected by gnome-dvb.
V4l-driver have been installed. Kaffeine works OK, mplayer with dvb://2@ also OK and vlc OK.

Is it possible to access config file or to put an argument in command line to access specific adapter and/or frontend ?

[Sebastian Pölsterl (sebp)]

Thanks for reporting this bug.

Could you please try if the attached patch solves this issue?

Patch does not seem to work...
I did :

I hope I put the right command... This patching stuff is quite new to me ;-)

[Sebastian Pölsterl (sebp)]

No problem, I attached a tarball with the patch applied, just install that one.

[rudy1210 (rudy1210)]

I got this at the end of ./configure...

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GNOME_DVB_DAEMON_CFLAGS
and GNOME_DVB_DAEMON_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I am struggling to get the right packages. Could you help ? THanks

[Sebastian Pölsterl (sebp)]

I suppose you previous install was from the PPA?

To install the missing dependencies run the following command:
"sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgee-dev libsqlite3-dev python-all-dev python-gobject-dev python-gtk2-dev"
followed by "./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install" to compile and install everything.

[rudy1210 (rudy1210)]

It was package 0.1.13 in Lucid depo...

After struggling to install dependencies other than those above mentioned (python 2.5, libuser,...), I finally got to compile and install 0.1.17 and got two menu entries : Digital TV control and setup... but setup is crashing and activation of dvb plugin in totem is not possible...

I upgraded to lucid today, but I can't reproduce your problem.

You can try retrieving a stacktrace with gdb. Install gdb and run "gdb python". In the new prompt type "run /usr/bin/gnome-dvb-setup". When the program crashed you can get a traceback by entering "bt".

[Sebastian Pölsterl (sebp)]

Thanks for the stacktrace, it's fixed now. I forgot to mention that you have to provide "--enable-totem-plugin" to the configure call in order to install the totem plugin. Please test the new tarball.

[rudy1210 (rudy1210)]

I installed the new tarball with this command :

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-totem-plugin && make && sudo make install

and I can not see the plugin in plugins list of Totem...

gnome-dvb-setup runs but both frontends are still detected as DVB-S...
I tried to scan DVB-S channels, it looked OK but no channels were found... I am currently checking with dvbscan if this is working.
The fact is that I am more interested in DVB-T and got no luck with gnome-dvb or me-tv...
I still would like to resolve this and if it can help you in developing a solid and robust application, I am willing to contribute. Just tell me how to get relevant data for you...

[Sebastian Pölsterl (sebp)]

It's fine that the plugin does not appear in Totem, nevertheless you should have a "Digital TV" section in your sidebar and pressing "Watch TV" should start gnome-dvb-setup.

I just realized that I screwed up again, I'm sorry. The previous tarballs contains the fix for the crasher but not for the actual issue you are having. I attached a new tarball.

[rudy1210 (rudy1210)]

OK, one thing solved, well done, frontends are detected right !!!

But still no plugin or digital TV stuff in totem sidebar

It seems that the variety of format for channels.conf makes it tricky as in all differently available output of scan (xine,vdr,...)

Ops, the same bug was in the C code, too, should have realized that earlier. Therefore, you get a scanner for DVB-S but try to feed it with data for DVB-T.

OK so I give some feedback..

Frontends are detected right...
Deamon is running fine...
Setup is not crashing and as already mentioned DVB-S scanning was OK.
But then impossible to get any channel for the DVB-T frontend...

So I ran gnome-dvb-deamon --debug and started setup...
I could see that because of the DVB-S channels , EPG scanner was locking the frontend thus preventing any effective scan on DVB-T (it is known that it is impossible to run both frontends at the same time). So I removed configuration of DVB-S with the control center and started to scan DVB-T. It looks successful.

So there might be something to do to prevent EPG scan while configuring a device to prevent lock of adapter.

Also still no sign of totem plugin... I did put the --enable-totem-plugin in ./configure but there is nothing appearing. It was fine with package 0.1.13 in lucid repo.

I hope I was clear enough in my feedback. If you want me to give some debug stuff, please ask.

Your work is looking promising !! Keep up with the good work !

Thanks a lot for testing, I committed the changes.

I wasn't aware that such pseudo dual-tuner devices exist, that's something we have to consider.

Regarding the Totem plugin: Try copying client/totem-plugin/dvb-daemon.py manually to /usr/lib/totem/plugins/dvb-daemon/
