Request for supporting Ceton devices on Linux

[mvallevand]

zip and upload your sh and py files and I will try them here

Maybe run

sha256sum /opt/opendct/lib/opendct-0.5.29.jar

To see which version you have.

I went and read the thread you sent me to earlier for the install. Noticed it was more windows10 based and the user looking for help had a similar setup to mine. ceton cards anyway. a 4 & 6 in his system. Different mobo but still. Anyway I have a 10 build on this machine. I had already tried to use the ceton proxy described in that thread but was unable to get it to work with more than tuning 1 channel at a time. It would allow multiple connections of the same channel but was limited to one stream per channel. I just decided to go back to linux when it didnt work how I wanted when I came across this thread. Anyhow. I jumped over to windows while you away and I am about as far on this OS as the other. I dont care to help you get your bugs worked out on both OS's if thats what you need but here are the windows logs

[mvallevand]

The nextpvr logs only help to confirm the extras and install work and it did. The opendct.log is really the key for me.

The only way I see forward is for you to provide your py and sh and to see why they don't work for you when I test using an HDHR, it is working fine for me with my scripts from windows and linux.

Where is the log in windows? Here are the py and bat

[mvallevand]

The active one is in C:\ProgramData\OpenDCT\logs\opendct.log

The windows test batch might have made a log file

C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\logs\opendct-##.log

I thought your where going back to linux?

Martin

I will. I figured we can see if this might be an easy fix on this side

[mvallevand]

Ok I put your two files in my setup and tested the way I like to test in Windows from the NPVR-data folder and ran the following no problem

scripts\opendct.bat 4.1 "HDHomeRun HDTC-2US Tuner 10528531-0" 7820  | ffplay -i pipe:

In the opendct log I get the messages I don't see on your setups   The only thing I can think of is that the Cetons were still being initialized in your last logs.

Code:

16:22:18.808 [SageTVRequestHandler-1238:Unknown] DEBUG SageTVRequestHandler - SageTV sent: 'START HDHomeRun HDTC-2US Tuner 10528531-0|7820|4.1|12345678|stdout|Great'
...
16:22:22.170 [SageTVRequestHandler-1238:HDHomeRun HDTC-2US Tuner 10528531-0] DEBUG RawSageTVConsumerImpl - Using custom upload port for NextPVR 7820

We might have to put a delay in python

in opendct.py

at the top

import time

and insert the wait after

  #print("Connection from: " + str(address))
  time.sleep(5)

Martin



tried this and no luck

Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)

[mvallevand]

Until it connects with opendct there is no point in adding delays. I don't see any need for that anymore.
