Mythtv Version: 33 (via PPA)
OS: Lubuntu 22.04
Tuners: SiliconDust HDHomerun
Whenever I do a full reboot of my system and attempt to record or watch live tv, I get a message stating all tuners are busy. A check of backend status does not show a recording happening
BUT when I manually restart the mythtv backend via systemctl, everything works again. What is going on?
Has anyone experienced this?
Mythtv tuners are always "busy" on system restart
Re: Mythtv tuners are always "busy" on system restart
Hear it all the time. Look here (for example) and search for hdhomerun_check.py: viewtopic.php?p=26001#p26001
It's only one example. Could be as simple (and ugly) as adding a sleep. Instructions on how to add the script to a backend override file are just
above the script.

An option for Mythbuntu Control Panel users is to use MCP to enable networking to ensure the network is up before the backend starts.

@heyted cool. Just looked at the source, you might want to update hdhomerun_check.py to v1.28. Now it writes log
messages to the command line if run from there.
