Can't Tune Certain Channels

[zentec]

Upon 0.28 upgrade, some MythTV Frontends (Including the one on the master) can't tune channels served by a HDHomerun ATSC tuner.

One slave unit can after going into Guide->menu->Change To Channel, but other slaves can not tune even after doing this.

Poured through the keybindings to make sure they were the same, and I am out of ideas. Logs and console messages from the backend and the frontend show absolutely nothing, as if the keypress were ignored.

The logs are always your friend if something isn't working. Try increasing the verbosity on the running backend with something like

Code: Select all

mythbackend --setverbose channel:debug,record:debug

The problem is that if I am watching a cable channel, pop the guide open, and want to watch an OTA channel, it tries to tune the existing Silicon Dust HDHR-3CC to an OTA channel, which it can't do. And it goes the other way, if I am watching an OTA channel and want to tune a cable channel (error ChannelBase[1]: Failed to find channel(780) on input (1) ), it fails in that direction.

I can force it to try an OTA tuner port by recording on the current cable channel, and then it will tune. But once I am there, I have to tie up both OTA tuners before I can get back to any of the cable channels.

So it appears, it assumes the tuners are all the same. This worked under .27

So you have tuners for ota and others for cable. Are they allocated to separate sources?

Yes.

I had to revert to 0.27 because the family was losing patience, and I wasn't going to go without watching football today.

I will load up a dev environment and see if I can isolate the problem.

I have this exact same problem. I have an HDHR Prime for cable, and an HDHR for OTA. I can't switch to the OTA tuner, but it will do recordings fine. Using .28 per the CentOS7 current release. Is this fixed in a later build? Is there a repo I can add that will have it?
thanks-
