Request for supporting Ceton devices on Linux

[mvallevand]

python is more forgiving then bash.

So it seems like now everything is talking to some degree.

From the opendct logs they appear as I expect they should

From the nextpvr side it now communicates to launch but it pretty much seems to end there. No video just a wait screen and exiting the nextpvr channel has no effect on the tuner stopping.

[mvallevand]

I can't do anything without logs.

Ill paste the log and terminal output of those commands

Sorry I can't deal with all that unsolicited info, but I meant the NextPVR logs because that is what you told me is failing and everything else was working.

So let's try again. Does

Code:

bash -c "/var/opt/nextpvr/scripts/opendct.sh 1110 \"DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 4\" 7822" > filename.ts

create a valid file until you hit ctrl-c?

If so, then I need the NextPVR logs.

Martin

[run088]

it creates a file in the directory the command is ran but its not valid. Tuner is running but it doesn't seem like data is flowing into the file. It does not grow

[mvallevand]

Ok since there is no reason to test in NextPVR until that works we are spinning are wheels

So in opendct.py I see line 94 is back to 10 seconds, make that 15 which is what I thought we were testing. Then try the bash line again.

If that fails lets test from python3 once again.

Code:

python3 /var/opt/nextpvr/scripts/opendct.py 1110 "DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-84-b9) Tuner 4" 7822  > filename.ts

Does that create a growing file? Remember growing needs to wait several seconds because of buffer. For this test you can also edit out the comment on line 139 to see if streaming is going on or not.

[run088]

its running not the file is still not growing. Its showing its writing somewhere on the screen
