Librelec Generic 8.2.1 TVheadend and Sony PlayTV Tuner

Hi there,

I seem to be having an issue when watching live TV.

the stream is OK then all of a sudden you will get the buffering which stays at 0 and doesnt go any further.

Stopping the stream and restarting the channel fixes it but then after a while the same thing happens.

I have run a debig on the TVheadend server and it looks like the issue is as

Im running Generic build 8.2.1 on a HP probook 6550b (i5 4g ram 320G HDD)

I moved to a differnt USB port and although less freqent it still occurs.

Any other suggestions?

Do you have it connected to an USB-3.0 port ?

If yes pls connect it to an USB 2.0 port.

The hardware only has USB2.0 ports according to HP

It looks like (for whatever reason) your USB isn't powering the usb device correctly. You can check if you have some usb mode settings at your bios or use a powered usb hub (no guarantee that this works of course).

OK.. Update...

I have replaced the Mini USB cord between the PC and the playTV and so far had a stream going for the past few hours which is awesome!
I am howevergetting a few continuity errors

Is this normal?

have a look at the Tvheadend ui if the errors happen always or if they happen like for me just at switching channels

-> gif pls view in big

"some" errors are no problem, if the count is always increasing (every sec) then something else is problematic (cable, reception, bad tuner ...)

Hi CvH

As you can see from my logs they happen anything between 3 and 10 minutes.

The log above is the local client just playing a channel constantly for a few hours.

hmm then this "should" be normal, I would bet at not that good reception - but not that easy to really figure out the problem here
