Request for supporting Ceton devices on Linux

[mvallevand]

OK yes, it is coming back to me, that test option has opendct creating the file, but we don't want to do that we want it coming back to python

So redirect it to a file and see what happens.

Also my line numbers were off because I don't have the time.sleep(5) at line 129 I know I noted that in this thread but I am not sure what value if any is needed, I don't have the Ceton. It looks like takes about 8 seconds to start so the 5 second wait is probably ok.

Code:

15:53:06.015 [SageTVRequestHandler-80:Unknown] DEBUG SageTVRequestHandler - SageTV sent: 'START DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1|1110|12345678|/tmp/some.mpg|Great'
16:01:28.132 [SageTVRequestHandler-85:DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1] DEBUG SageTVRequestHandler - Starting network encoder via upload ID '7819' to file name 'stdout'.

can you show me the code you want me to try?

[mvallevand]

With your original opendct.py this test you showed me should be fine

sudo python3 opendct.py "START" "DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 1" 1003 | ffplay -i pipe: -v panic

but you didn't send the opendct.log file for that test.

I just zipped both log directories

[mvallevand]

Can you run that test again so I know what I am looking at. You didn't post that you saw these two message come to the screen which concerns me.

listening
waiting

If you want I can ssh into your linux machine or remote desktop into any Windows system you have (with python installed) and do the test.

They do appear on the screen and at around 8 seconds in the video plays

[mvallevand]

OK that is better information. In opendct.py remove the # from the lines 128 141 152 and 161 and we will look for other things.

taking the time sleep off sped it up. what would be the numbers?

[run088]

I did some testing on the changes on the older post 136,139,150,152

This only made a differnce of if I closed the window playing the video I would still need to issue the stop command or the tuner keeps recording

but without those first changes it closes the stream upon closing the window the video is playing from

when I took off the time delay the video now plays at around 5 seconds as opposed to the 8 seconds with it
