| Roklobsta | [22:52:13] <Roklobsta> i think i might have re-uncovered a mythbuntu problem that may affect others. | 12:40 |
| Roklobsta | [22:53:11] <Roklobsta> I have had vexing trouble with Afatech cards and ages ago philips cards where the kernel was doing whatever it needed to do to install firmware or calibrate tuners. | 12:40 |
| Roklobsta | [22:54:01] <Roklobsta> in the meantime init would fire up mythbackend which i think would then try to talk to the TV cards at the same time and bugger things up. | 12:40 |
| Roklobsta | [22:55:20] <Roklobsta> i did solve the problem by introducing a "sleep 120" just before mythbackend is started in the init/mythtv.conf file which seemed to make the philips cards behave. | 12:40 |
| Roklobsta | [22:56:21] <Roklobsta> i just tried it with the Afatech cards (using a sleep 20) and i didn't get the myriad of i2c errors in the syslog which means they just won't ever tune if that happens. | 12:40 |
| Roklobsta | 22:58:08] <Roklobsta> so there is possibly a race at startup between the kernel drivers finishing bootup jobs with the DVB cards and mythbackend stomping all over the cards at the same time. I guess the kernel should block until it's finished setting up the cards. | 12:40 |
| Roklobsta | [22:58:27] <Roklobsta> this setup usual is done one tuner at a time and can take a few seconds. | 12:40 |
| Roklobsta | so i have 2 Afatech 9015 cards (4 tuners) and they in turn take 5 seconds each to calibrate | 12:41 |
| Roklobsta | if mythbackend starts up while this is happening and talks to the cards it can wreck the card for tuning until next power cycle. | 12:41 |

| qwebirc23840 | One question, there is no link for the 14.04 ? | 17:57 |
| qwebirc23840 | it's in the repository so nothing to do... | 18:06 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc23840: there should be a link, the link just takes you to software center to install it from the repo | 18:08 |
| tgm4883 | so yea, you can just install it through there instead of the website | 18:08 |
