Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Zgemma H.2S Standby question
-
28-01-2021 3:52pm#1As detailed on another thread I have this box set up to make its tuners available as Sat>IP tuners which are managed by Tvheadend on another device.
All is working fine ........ except ......
after some time of no use of any tuner, the tuners become unavailable for use by the Sat>IP clients.
It appears to be some form of standby, although I am not sure.
So that both tuners can be available, no channel must be playing on the box.
Can someone tell me how this 'standby' (if that is what it is) can be disabled so that the tuners are permanently available on the LAN?
Operating system/image is
OpenATV 6.4.20201121 (2020-11-19)
I have gone through the settings on the webif page but have not found it ...... of course I might well have missed it.
This is problematic because the Zgemma is in the media press and using the remote to kick it into life is not an option.
Thanks for any suggestions.

In fact I still think that a stream command will over ride a tuner and switch to the requested channel same as record will grab a tuner if it needs it.
When I initially set this up I could only use one tuner fully, through TVH. That was why I set the start up to not tune to any channel.
Maybe some changes I have made to the set up will allow what you describe ..... TVH to override the preselected startup channel.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I will give it a try and see how it works out.

It appears it will not be simple to test ...... will have to extract the box to a monitor and then get coax cable to the tuners in order to test, because I have not found a means to set up a startup channel in the browser interface.

there shouldn;t be any need for a specific start channel. The box will default to whatever it was last watching. Also no need for a monitor. Use "capture screenshot" in WEBIF as long as it is not in standby.0 -

Well things did not work out as planned ...... story of my tech life
When testing I was getting conflicting results so decided to do a factory reset.
I also began thinking about how to prevent standby without locking out one tuner, and decided I would use a USB DVB-T stick and have one of the Saorview channels as the default on start up. I have no need of an extra DVB-T tuner.
All seemed to be going well in tests and then I discovered that the DVB-T tuner was not active after booting the device ...... but does become active if the GUI is restarted.
Doing things this way meant I did not need to install bouquets or scan Sat channels, as they are not used at all on the Zgemma.
Now if I can figure out how to ensure the USB DVB-T tuner is active on reboot that should sort things out.0 -

Hi. I've been running satip on my system since our last conversation and thought I had a similar problem, until I realised it only happened to CNN. I love having tvheadend on a separate system so thank you!
I don't run the GUI at all so there's nothing to argue with the tuners.
You can make sure the dvb tuner loads early by adding the module name in /etc/modprobe.d . I'll look into the exact line required if you need it.
When you control it from PC do you use SSH? lsmod will list the modules and dmesg may let you see if there's an error.
You could watch the system log and reload the module if there's an error.
Hi!
Good to hear all is working well for you.
I was not running the GUI until I began to notice a problem with the standby (?) causing the tuners from being available.
I enabled the GUI to see if I could find a reason .... and am now down the rabbit hole
The driver is loading successfully and is there even before a GUI restart. There is no difference in output between reboot with and without a GUI restart ...# dmesg | grep -i rtl [ 12.058000] usb 1-2.2: dvb_usb_v2: found a 'Realtek RTL2832U reference design' in warm state [ 12.122000] dvbdev: DVB: registering new adapter (Realtek RTL2832U reference design) [ 12.209000] rtl2832 7-0010: Realtek RTL2832 successfully attached [ 12.209000] usb 1-2.2: DVB: registering adapter 1 frontend 0 (Realtek RTL2832 (DVB-T))...

In what way did you ensure there was no GUI launching?
Just wondering if there was something I did that I should not have done.
Do you have standby enabled?
I most often use the terminal in Webif but have also used ssh as in output above.
Hopefully the problem is something I have forgotten and you might recall 0 -

Missed that question last month - sorry about that.
This is how I did it - I changed default "runlevel"to 5 - GUI only runs in level 3.

Was pretty good until about a month ago. Getting lots of breakups on channels and "video could not be played" messages since then.
Satellite channels are mostly fine, but the HD saorview ones rarely work. The streams work fine on vlc, but two different android clients on three different boxes all have the problem. Forcing stream to matroska rather than htsp seemed to help, but it didn't stick.
I just upgraded tvheadend to the 4.3 branch from git this afternoon, but haven't configured it yet. Pain in the neck doing a fresh install of channels! Maybe it'll make a difference!
Bummer
Hope it comes good for you with 4.3.0 -

Thanks for that.Gerry Wicklow wrote: »This is one of the skins from openVix. There are many different skins available depending on which image is installed. I like this simple black look similar to the dark theme on my PC.
