DVB issue since LE switched to kernel 4.9.x

CvH I have a spare DVBSky S960 which I'd be prepared to lend you. If that would help debugging the issue then PM me.

could you also pls test my image if the new drivers change anything ?

Tested them all. Unfortunatelly no improvement. Still some artefacts, audio drops and recordings with a lot of data/transport errors. Official 8.2.1 and 8.0.2 as well.

The last working version for me (without any errors) was SMP's image from above (LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.2-k48-nomb).

pls try if this image works better for you because that card should not have that problem here described

LibreELEC 8.x images for additional dvb drivers

could you also pls test my image if the new drivers change anything ?

I‘m on DD Cine S2 v5.4. The other DD drivers seems not working with my card. I guess they are for v6.0 or 6.5 and later cards that are embedded in kernel 4.14 and later. At least not as click and forget replacement. Switched back to kernel default drivers.

Continuity errors persist with this image, but maybe less than before. Htsp also has 2 errors (localhost tvheadend).

thanks for your efforts.

Very sad that there's no progess since about a year now.

Updated Leia builds with downgraded kernel.

You made my day. Runs on my RPi3/DVBSky S960 like a charm without any errors.

Hello. Will the problem with pixels and the new kernel be solved in the future version of LE9?

I think there's improvement with kernel 4.14.6

please try latest test builds from Milhouse:

Index of /builds/master/RPi2/

Index of /builds/master/Generic/

I just tried the generic build to test whether it fixes the issue on my machine but get a blank screen and cant figure out why. Here is the output of my journalctl: NHSG

I do not get a kodi log so dont think its getting that far. I tried wiping my .kodi directory too and that had no effect.

Do these test builds support nvidia_legacy_340? My graphics card is an ION2. First time i've tried a millhouse build on this box.

Meanwhile i've been bisecting the 4.9 kernel and was starting to narrow down the commits, so will pause my efforts and try merging this patch into my custom build to see if it improves things.

Update: deleting my .config folder fixed that problem. Ive done some testing against the latest millhouse build (Milhouse-20171214210652-%231214-g9155531) but still have stream corruption im afraid back to my attempts to bisect the kernel i guess

your are right, errors are still there for me too on rpi3.

I had 2 recordings today without errors, so I thought the issue is gone but in the third recording there are errors again.

Sorry for the noise.

Hopefully you'll find the harmful commit.
