'VDR' PVR will not start or scan (Wetek DVB-T)

Same problem here.
Also after hard reset.
Vdr is not starting anymore.

PS: I'm at 7.0.3

Another test:

1. Scan for channels on TV Headend: reception works but no EPG data
2. Disable all TV Headend modules
3. Enable VDR modules

Now I can receive TV channels, but no audio & no EPG! It appears that some channel configuration / muxes profile is shared between VDR and TV Headend ?

istn't that too much dvr's? Shouldn't that be only one?

I have only demux0, dvr0, frontend0

Just noticed that I am not receiving update notifications for PVR clients & backends from LE repo. Manually updated to latest versions. Sometimes disabled items are enabled without permission during an update. Kodi often freezes or crashes when enable/disable/update PVR components.

and the system freezes.

When I use w_scan from terminal the scan completes successfully but ~/.kodi/addons/service.multimedia.vdr-addon/config/channels.conf is empty (0 bytes)

Wetek Play 1 or Wetek Play 2 - the problem described occurs on Play 2 here.

Play 1. (And no need to quote the entire message.)

I updated to 7.95.3 - the issue persists...

w_scan freezes Wetek Play 2

We need to wait for fixed dvb driver for vdr. There was one build from GDPR-1 with fixed driver and vdr works but video sometimes stutter . So we need to wait for another fixed driver from codesnake

just for the record, did the video also stutter at VDR or only in Tvh ?

zbigzbig20 · February 19, 2017 at 1:18 PM

Both. VDR and TVH

could you test LibreELEC-WeTek_Play_2.aarch64-8.0.0-dvb-driver-pr1374.img.gz ?
we couldn't replicate the problems with that version at the moment

w_scan works - tuning channels too - but there are artefacts from time to time (i am running vdr).

are these artefacts at the "old" version too or are these new problems ?

New - Old Version did not work at all on "native" vdr.
Old Version only worked with Network-VDR - also some issues - that i don't want to spoil this thread with - but it worked.

With Wetek Play 2 it is a driver issue for sure - but at least it tunes now.

If you tell me how to better debug - i'll try to..

works for us thats why i am asking

zbigzbig20 · February 21, 2017 at 1:53 PM

After work I will test this build. On prevous from GDPR-1 with fixed dvb drivers for vdr sometimes channels stutter on vdr and tvh . Maybe it is fixed in this build

**CvH** · February 21, 2017 at 2:11 PM Official Post

tx, maybe there was some other random problem

GDPR-1 · February 21, 2017 at 3:30 PM

I've also prepared a new WP2 32bit build with that driver zbigzbig20. Will release it if your tests are good.

zbigzbig20 · February 21, 2017 at 9:27 PM

Oki. After short test . FTA channels works good (SD and HD), something wrong is with encrypted channels , it stop descrambling after few seconds , after another few seconds it start descrambling and again stop... One good thing. Tvheadend now works without stutters. Hope You will fix problem with stop descrambling on encrypted channels on VDR and everybody will be happy

After longer testing this build with with tvheadend there still is from time to time problem with stutters during watching tv
