As an added data point, I've set up another memory card with LE9.2.6, and so far it seems to be fine - no data errors.

So, it's either LE10 or the other microSD card.

I am going to keep both cards running, so I can help with any testing.

Hi,

I recently updated my RPi4 to LE10 beta, and also tried a nightly build (16 April).

I have noticed many more data errors and even failed recordings compared to LE 9.2.6. I am using three X-Box One TV tuners, which have been working fine with LE9, and the errors seem to occur on all tuners, which would seem to suggest it is unlikely that I am looking at a tuner failure.

I have just had two failed recordings, and it would seem (at least to me) that the data errors occur when I am actively playing back the recordings, including skipping through with the remote (microsoft MCE USB receiver). I now have a recording running on the same channel/tuner as one that failed earlier, and it seems that as long as I don't touch it, the number of data errors is not increasing at a significant rate.

Please don't think I am complaining. I know this is a beta version. But I wondered if someone could tell me what the situation is, so I can make the best decision (revert to 9.2.6 possibly) as this is my 'main' TV server.

So, is there a known problem with USB tuners on LE10? I didn't install any driver packages. Should I?

Any insight would be very welcome. I did post about this in the WinTV DualHD thread in the context of whether that tuner would be better, but it seems better to start a new thread for this issue.

Service.txt shows lots of this

usb host issues

Would I be better to downgrade to LE9 for a while? I didn't notice these issues before.

So the reason I am considering this tuner is because my XBox tuners are having glitches.

This does seem to be happening since I upgraded to LE10b1 with TVH 4.3. I initially thought it was one of the tuners, but changed the priorities and another tuner has the same issues.

So, is this a general USB issue with the RPi4? Does it depend on the LE version? Should I just wait for a fix?

Thanks!!!

Mark

Thank you!

Just to check, as I am having some issues with my XBox TV tuners.

Does the WinTV DualHD work fine (both tuners) with TVH on LE 10beta1 ? I am using Raspberry Pi 4 in case that matters.

Thanks!!

It does say in the release notes to do a clean install, not an upgrade.

Working great so far on a RPi4. The TVHeadEnd 4.3 alpha also looks good. Nice work everyone!

I have encountered the Tvheadend 4.3 is (thanks to) you available here: Tvheadend nightly builds for LibreELEC

but so far I didn't see it in official repository so I did not upgrade yet. Now when I tried to search, I see Tvheadend Server 4.3 (Alpha) - Team LibreELEC - 9.80.11.100 so I will give it a try... Thanks again!

Nice. Having searched again, this has appeared for me today in my second RPi4, which has a LE10 test build (but no TV tuners or aerial).

I'd be interested in your experiences before upgrading my TV server (or to put it another way, if it goes wrong for you, I won't upgrade!)

Quote from ghtester

So it seems Tvheadend 4.3 would be hardly usable in my case but i'll keep trying...

I have been using a TVH 4.3 build with LE 9.2.6 for a while now on a Pi4 and had no problems.

Which build, which LE version, which hardware?

Quote from CvH

if you want to play with the unfinished toys you need to be a bit more patient

btw it is already there for LE10Beta1 (not yet released) so everything is fine

Sorry, I'm confused. Does this mean there is a TVH 4.3 test build for LE10 for RPi4? I wasn't able to find it.

The one near with power supply on the Pi, which isn't actually the one near the power supply on the Argon One case, at least in version 1. I had this problem myself, and it seems I am not the only one.

Try the other HDMI port.

The RPi3 has has USB2, and I think it shares the USB with the ethernet. Someone will hopefully correct me if I'm wrong.

So, that could be the problem - USB bandwidth.

RPi4 has USB3, and works really well for me.

I did that as well. Don't feel too bad about it!

There are updated ArgonOne cases that are advertised as having an IR receiver built-in. However, this seems to be only for their own remote, which is not yet available.

I've tweeted them to ask if it will work with other remotes, as I'd love to reclaim a USB port on mine.

I'll report back if I get an answer.

With my setup (three of these tuners on a RPi4), I moved my TV server from the living room to the study. That has a different aerial, and I started getting a lot of data errors on DVB-T2 streams. Moved it back to the original aerial and it's fine again.

So, lots of factors to consider.

Useful to know. I hadn't consider this scenario.
