Re: [linux-dvb] STB0899 users, please verify results was Re: TechniSat SkyStar HD: Problems scaning and zaping

[Simeon Simeonov]

I am using mythtv and here is the sequence of commands:

Without repeat:
DiSEqCDevTree: Changing LNB voltage to 13V
DiSEqCDevTree: Rotor - Goto Stored Position 2
DiSEqCDevTree: Sending DiSEqC Command: e0 31 6b  2 
DiSEqCDevTree: Changing to DiSEqC switch port 1/4
DiSEqCDevTree: Sending DiSEqC Command: e0 10 38 f0 

With repeat:
DiSEqCDevTree: Changing LNB voltage to 13V
DiSEqCDevTree: Rotor - Goto Stored Position 2
DiSEqCDevTree: Sending DiSEqC Command: e0 31 6b  2 
DiSEqCDevTree: Changing to DiSEqC switch port 1/4
DiSEqCDevTree: Sending DiSEqC Command: e0 10 38 f0 
DiSEqCDevTree: Repeat DiSEqC Command: e1 10 38 f0

Can you please try to get the DiSEqC strings that you are sending
(from the application) in these 2 cases ?

In fact, looks really confusing to me. The diseqc commands just go out 
as it is,
through the FIFO. I don't see anything that which changes the commands, but
if it was working with another card, it should be working with this card 
too (i
had some doubts, but when you said it worked with some other card, then i
don't see the issue in here with the diseqc part. The FiFO either works 
or not)

Re: [linux-dvb] STB0899 users, please verify results was Re: TechniSat SkyStar HD: Problems scaning and zaping

[Simeon Simeonov]

Hi Manu,

I was able to resolve my rotor problem by making the following changes in the stb6100, stb0899 and mantis sources:
u<X> replaced by unit<X>_t..

Since I am running the drivers on 64-bit machine my guess is that is a 64-bit pointer size thing.
Unfortunately it is painful to restore my rotor settings after loosing them and I cannot tell you at the
moment which change made the difference.

Thanks for your help,
Simeon

Some points:

1. The change to stb6100 should in no way matter for the rotor.
2. u* is kernel data types and uint*_t are POSIX data types. In fact
this shouldn't matter AFAICT,  since both are explicit datatypes. The only
difference in there that can make a difference would be "long"

I think, greping for long, the only thing that comes to my mind is
stb0899_wait_diseqc_fifo_empty(), where you will see the error as
stb0899_wait_diseqc_fifo_empty: timed out !!
(do you see this error, in your logs ?)

But that also shouldn't matter, since there the timeout what's
provided there isn't quite large

Also this doesn't come into picture, with your u* to uint* change. .. 
thinking ..

> Since I am running the drivers on 64-bit machine my guess is that is a 64-bit pointer size thing.

Also, considering that since almost everyone else has this working,
maybe it has to be specific to your setup/machine.

Yes, ocasionally I see the message from stb0899_wait_diseqc_fifo_empty() 
but trying to increase the time in the call did not help. So I am not sure if
my problem is related to that message.

[Simeon Simeonov]

I am using VP-1041 with the lnb21_attach changes to the ISEL and PCL bit settings.
At the moemnt I have no clue why I am having this diseqc issue. I also checked the
logs and I see from time to time diseqc_fifo_full messages but there is no correlation
with the problem. For example I have not seen these messages for the last two days
but sending more than 2 diseqc messages re-programs my rotor.

You are using the Technisat HD2 or the VP-1041 ? if you are using the HD2,
changeset 7280 alone adds support for the HD2, so in this case you will
need to manually add support for the same.

In either of the case, i guess you have some sort of diseqc issue, but then
have you tried with the LNBP21 attach change ?

Did you try changing line 250 in mantis_dvb.c to:
                if (!lnbp21_attach(mantis->fe, &mantis->adapter, LNBP21_PCL, LNBP21_ISEL)) {

I tried mantis-a9ecd19a37c9. Without the change success in positioning 
was about 0% similarly as with multiproto-0448e5a6d8a6. After this 
change the success in zapping between different satellite positions 
increased to about 40% so it looks now promising and vdr satellite 
channels are usable with some patience :^)

Is there some kind of soft-diseqc bit timing used with this DVB-S2 card 
or driver SW (I didn't yet look at the source) or why is the operation 
so unreliable? I had to use command duplication in vdr-rotor plugin with 
my old card but with that it was about 100% reliable.

Which DVB-S2 multiproto driver tree should I follow for latest 
development for TT S2-3200 (/Skystar HD)?

Cheers,
Seppo

If you can really identify what is "really" unreliable, that itself will 
be a help
to fix the issue, in most cases.

For the SAA7146 based cards, use the multiproto tree, for the Mantis based
cards, use the mantis tree.

Yes, the LNBP21_PCL and LNBP21_ISEL additions did the improvement. By 
40% I mean that about 4/10 zappings between channels in different 
satellite positions are succesfull. Without this change it was very rare 
to get the dish to move, the success rate was < 1/10.

Compared to my old DVB-S card this DVB-S2 card is too unreliable for my 
family to use it. There is one possible issue with vdr rotor plugin. It 
would help in my case if it would set always high LNB voltage before 
sending gotox command and keep it for estimated time of movent (based on 
about 0.9 seconds/degree speed) before setting the voltage for the tuned 
channel. The motor movement with low LNB voltage is very slow especially 
in winter and I'm not absolutely sure that the failure is due to 
corrupted diseqc gotox command or just too low voltage to get the motor 
running. The old DVB-S card was also driving the dish at slow speed with 
low LNB voltage but I need to hack the rotor code to rule out this 
theory. I need to check also the LNB cable that connects to the PC that 
it is still OK.

OK, thanks. It seems there is now 10min fresh new code to try!

Now I've run original multiproto-8db34ae061ed driver for a day. It 
achives about similar success (my guess 40%) in driving my positioner 
motor as the edited mantis tree driver. As far as I understand the code 
the lnbp21_attach in ttpci/budget-ci.c is different from Simeon's 
proposed attach command for mantis. => I hope my comments are not 
confusing the development.

Excluding driving/commanding the motor, the current multiproto driver 
works well in DVB-S/DVB-S2 (and 2xDVB-T)  zapping.

BR,
Seppo

With 72e81184fb9f I get lock  5/10 times of the times and with a9ecd19a37c9 9/10 times.
But with 72e81184fb9f I couldn't get neither my rotor nor diseqc switch to work as 
opposed to the tip where both work with some problems - sending more than
2 diseqc messages messes up my rotor.

You are using the Technisat HD2 or the VP-1041 ? if you are using the HD2,
changeset 7280 alone adds support for the HD2, so in this case you will
need to manually add support for the same.

In either of the case, i guess you have some sort of diseqc issue, but then
have you tried with the LNBP21 attach change ?

I don't know if is the same but with the latest mantis tree I get 100% success.
Reverting to changeset mantis-100d4b009238 (which I think corresponds to multiproto 7200)
I do NOT any locks on the same transponder.

Ok, fine this is very much possible. Can other STB0899 users (all of them)
verify this result, such that i can revert back the changes ?

[linux-dvb] TechniSat SkyStar HD: Problems scaning and zaping

[NONAS EUAGGELOS]

Hello,

I have a Skystar HD. I use multiproto from here (checked it out yesterday):
http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto
It compiles fine, all needed modules are loaded automatically upon boot.
This is my dmesg:
saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem f88f2000 (revision 1, irq 21) (0x13c2,0x1019).

I use scan from here: 
http://jusst.de/manu/scan.tar.bz2
It does not compile, I use the binary I found in the archive.

I use szap2 from here:
http://www.free-x.de/vdr/patches/hdtv/szap2.tgz
It does compile.

My kernel is:
2.6.22-gentoo-r9

My problems are:
- When I scan the same transponder more than once, sometimes I get some services, sometimes I get no services.
- When I zap (with szap2) to a station more than once, sometimes I get a lock, sometimes I get no lock.
- I have also tried with vdr 1.4.7(old DVB API) and 1.5.14 (new dvb API). Both versions can tune to only one channel, the "Active" channel from previous vdr shutdown. When you change channel the signal is lost. I suppose it relates to the zap problem.

I would appreciate your help / suggestions.

Thank you very much.
Vagelis

Just replying to myself.

Nobody has the same problems that I have with Skystar HD? Can someone 
please explain the current status of the driver? Is this the expected 
behavior, or I am doing something wrong?

Thank you,

I have never tried to scan with the SkyStar HD.

I have the same problem. I was trying to tune to ProSieben 100 times today. And I got only 11 successful locks.
The signal strengt should be ok, as I have no problems to tune this
channel with other DVB-S cards...

Here is a little script to do such tests:
http://www.makhutov.org/downloads/dvb/tune.sh

You need this szap (http://abraham.manu.googlepages.com/szap.c) and this
patch (http://www.makhutov.org/downloads/dvb/szap.patch) to make the script work.

Has anyone any ideas why the tuning failes so often? Is it a problem of
szap or the driver itself? I heard, that this card works perfect with VDR for other users...

I have not tried out VDR with the SkyStar HD. I will run some tests
during the next week.

Can you guys please update from the multiproto tree and test again at
the earliest and give me your feedback ?

No, still the same:

Try: 50
Failes: 37
Tunes: 13

Maybe the problem is in the szap.c and not in the driver, as Reinhard
Nissl had no problems while tuning channels with VDR?

An other thing that I noticed is that only first tunes are successful.
I continued the same tuning test to 100, but I got no more successfull locks.
The last successfull lock was try 20:

Try: 100
Failes: 87
Tunes: 13

I am running a new test with a 15 seconds break after each tune now and
will mail you the results when the test finises.

Are you sure that you got the top level 2 changes changeset 7204 and 7203
respectively ?

Awesome! It fixed the problem:

Try: 100
Failes: 0
Tunes: 100

Great job!

Also, can you please do a benchmark in lock timings between changeset 
7205 and 7200 ?

The timing can be looked at by enabling the time stamps in the kernel 
config and
looking at timestamps in the logs for start - stop (FE_HAS_LOCK) between 
the 2
changesets.

Manu

Thank you all for your help,

With the latest changeset I can tune channels correctly. I tried vdr and 
szap (from Manu).

I dont know how to undo the last changesets and go back to 7200. Please 
tell me how to do it and I'll get the timings.

I also tried to scan Hotbird and it seems that scanning is now 
consistent when you scan the same transponder more than once.

A full scan produced 1722 channels which is not bad, but it needs 
improvement. There are about 2200 channels I think.

I attach the log of the scan. It fails to scan certain transponders and 
I believe (not 100% sure, but I did some testing) that this is 
consistent across runs.

Vagelis

clone the multiproto tree

from there, do a partial clone locally

hg clone -r 7200 multiproto multiproto_7200

If you can provide a log with verbose=5 for the channels which it doesn't
scan it will be a bit more helpful. Will need the logs (/var/log/messages)
to debug this as well. The module parameters the same for both the
STB0899 and the STB6100

The log is just the output of the scan utility, will need the output from
the driver and a bit of thoughts.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3001 bytes --]

Hello,

I attach the timing logs for changsets 7205 and 7201. The funny thing is 
that when I use 7201 it does NOT have the problem with locking  when 
tuning, as it had before. I tried it 3 times, the third after a full 
shutdown of the pc and having removed the power for a couple on minutes. 
It is really strange.

Anyway, both logs were taken with these commands:

../szap/szap -c channels.conf -r "bbc world"
../szap/szap -c channels.conf -r "bbc prime"
../szap/szap -c channels.conf -r "filmnet1"

I'll check how scanning performs with 7201 and let you know

Vagelis

Re: [linux-dvb] TechniSat SkyStar HD: Problems scaning and zaping

[Vangelis Nonas]

Hello,

I tried scanning with the 7201 changeset and I believe the results are 
better than the 7205 changeset. In the former case I get 2082 services 
on hotbird, in the latter 1722.

I'll shortly send kernel logs for a failing transponder during scan.

And something else:
When I give to scan the parameter -o vdr it will not output the results 
after a complete scan.

Hmm.. Ok.

Can you please get 7205 and load the stb0899 and stb6100 modules with
verbose=2 or 5 as module parameters and see whether it makes any 
difference ?
(ie you see more of the services) ie check whether changing the module 
parameters
(verbosity level) makes any difference in the number of services found.

Ok, this i had not added in, will look at this aspect.

Re: [linux-dvb] TechniSat SkyStar HD: Problems scaning and zaping

[Vangelis Nonas]

Hello,

I scanned using 7205 changeset. With verbose=5, I get 1801 services. 
With verbose=2 I get 1725 services.

Using the 7201 changeset with verbose=5 I get 2082 services. I can check 
for verbose=2 and changeset 7201 if you think it is useful.

I have the "feeling" that 7201 behaves better. It is much faster also 
during scanning( I don't have measurements but I am pretty sure).

Should you need kernel logs for failing transponders either 7201 or 7205 
let me know.

Vagelis

It would be nice to see changeset 7201 with verbose=1 and 2, the results.

You can enable timestamps being output in printk's in the kernel config
to see the timestamps, with which you compare with the start - stop
events in the logs.

Will need the logs for the failing transponders in 7205, to check for the
actual cause.

Are you "really" sure that 7201 behaves better than others. I ask this, 
since
there was a bug in 7201 which caused many people not to have a LOCK, the
bugs which was fixed in 7203 and 7204. I am at a loss now, as to
understanding this strange phenomena, how a lock was achieved with no
communication to the tuner.

If it were 7200, i could have still believed, there was a possibility, 
but 7201
i am terribly confused.

Can you please verify whether you didn't get mixed up with the changeset
numbers or the logs that were produced ?


Regards,
Manu

Re: [linux-dvb] TechniSat SkyStar HD: Problems scaning and zaping

[Vangelis Nonas]

Hello,

Here is the output of hg log|head -n 5 for two different directories 
(multiproto and multiproto_7200)

for multiproto:
changeset:   7205:9bdb997e38b5
tag:         tip
user:        Manu Abraham <manu@linuxtv.org>
date:        Sun Feb 24 02:10:56 2008 +0400
summary:     We can now reduce the debug levels, just need to look at 
errors only.

for multiproto_7200:
changeset:   7200:45eec532cefa
tag:         tip
parent:      7095:a577a5dbc93d
parent:      7199:0448e5a6d8a6
user:        Manu Abraham <manu@linuxtv.org>


So I guess I was referring to 7200 and not to 7201.
I am very positive about the results because I have tested it many 
times. It is just that it is 7200 instead of 7201.
So as a concluesion, 7200 behaves better than 7205. My corrected little 
table follows below just for clarification.

Changeset   Verbose  channels
--------------------------------
7200         1        2152
7200         2        2105
7200         5        2081
7205         1        1760
7205         2        1608
7205         5        1578


I apologise for the confusion, I may have caused.

Regards
Vagelis

Ok, fine this is very much possible. Can other STB0899 users (all of them)
verify this result, such that i can revert back the changes ?

[Oliver Bardenheier (obardenh)]

I can confirm that current hg-tree breaks SkyStarHD. Mostly unusable,
many transponders not working.
I changed back to  45eec532cefa  and everything is working fine.

I'm using multiproto-74c6c2ee613b grabbed yesterday and I was able to
see only BBC World from Astra 19.2E. Other channels I tried to zap to
didn't work. Also there seemed to be problems in driving reliably diseqc
positioner (that the old TT budget-s handled fine).

It was my first experience with brand new TT S2-3200 and vdr 1.5.16 with
Reinhard's H.264 patch set.

I still have the same problem and I'm not familiar with various DVB 
driver sources discussed here (hg-tree, mantis). As I suppose I have the 
same issue as discussed in this thread, how do I retrieve an older 
version of the driver for TT S2-3200 that would work?

No problem,  :-)

You just check out the tree via the webpage:
http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto

then click on the needed changeset
http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto/rev/0448e5a6d8a6 

and download the bzip with the complete changeset
http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto/archive/0448e5a6d8a6.tar.bz2

The rest is routine....     :-)

Thanks! It works now (almost), zapping in Astra 19.2E works now very well.

... But diseqc positioner commands (GotoX from vdr rotor plugin) seem to 
not get through with 100% reliability. Changing to use diseqc.conf 
seemed to help a bit but I haven't been able to convince the motor to 
turn to 28.2E at all.

Hello,

I think this page is very useful, because it explains the procedure 
quite well (also tells you about modified scan and zap):
