Frontend segfaults when switching channels on HD-PVR input

Reported by: Ken Emerson <kenneth.emerson@…> Owned by: Isaac Richards
Priority: minor Milestone: unknown
Component: MythTV - General Version: unknown
Severity: medium Keywords: frontend segfault live tv HD-PVR
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

Problem is repeatable:

  1. Select Watch TV (starts on PVR-350)
  2. Change input to HD-PVR
  3. Input changes, no problems yet.
  4. Channel up/down bringing up EPG.
  5. Press SELECT on different channel on HD-PVR input.
  6. STB channel change occurs without a problem.
  7. New channel starts to show, stutters once, then freezes.
  8. FE segfaults.
  9. Changing channels on all other inputs (PVR-250, PVR-350, HDHR, and HVR-1800) all work OK; only HD-PVR causes this problem.

Ken,

Does applying #6602 and #6719 have any effect on this issue for you?

comment:2 Changed 14 years ago by robertm

Also please test #6611.

comment:3 Changed 14 years ago by Ken Emerson <kenneth.emerson@…>

I will attempt these patches this weekend and let you know.

comment:4 Changed 14 years ago by anonymous

I am creating a trunk tree at r24052 (I am currently at 24029) and applying patch 6602 and 6719; however, 6611 fails at this revision. Do you want me to test 6611 by itself with r23670? Also, is r23670 at the same database version as r24052? If not, I may not have an easy way to test as the only system I have is my "production" system.

Try the two you've got, John may be able to provide a refresh to 6611 if that doesn't work.

I just tried applying #6719 and then #6611 to [24052] and did not get any rejections.

In what way is #6611 failing for you?

Ken, you must apply #6719 before #6611. If you don't then #6611 will fail the way you describe.

OK. I have all three patches installed. I haven't had time with frontend to test live TV yet, but preliminary backend tests have shown that recording on both HDHR tuners does not work. It does not matter which tuner is used first (including virtual tuners), the recording on the second tuner fails:

2010-04-16 13:41:26.703 HDHRSH(1013A1B7-0) Error: Get request failed

eno: No such device (19)

Recordings on my HVR1800, HD-PVR, and PVR-350 were successful

Also, recordings made with the HDHR spam with 100's of MB in backend log when commflagging or producing the thumbnail for the recording:

2010-04-16 13:30:10.202 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]invalid mb type in I Frame at 2 59 2010-04-16 13:30:10.212 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]ac-tex damaged at 45 28 2010-04-16 13:30:10.225 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]ac-tex damaged at 83 61 2010-04-16 13:30:10.235 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]ac-tex damaged at 45 29 2010-04-16 13:30:10.242 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]skipped MB in I frame at 24 63 2010-04-16 13:30:10.249 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]skipped MB in I frame at 52 31 2010-04-16 13:30:10.254 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]ac-tex damaged at 93 64 2010-04-16 13:30:10.257 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]ac-tex damaged at 13 32 2010-04-16 13:30:10.262 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]skipped MB in I frame at 14 67 2010-04-16 13:30:10.376 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]00 motion_type at 20 0 2010-04-16 13:30:10.382 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6ba12e0]invalid mb type in P Frame at 60 34

The spam may or may not be related to the patches, as I have seen this behavior before, but I don't remember it being this bad. I also do not know what the condition of the recordings is; will check later using the frontend.

I'll do more testing tonight and tomorrow.

I now have had a chance to review the video from the recordings mentioned previously. It turns out that all of the HDHR recordings were corrupt. When I tried to view live TV from either HDHR tuner, it was also corrupt. This would explain the tons of errors in the backend logfile. I then powered the HDHR off and back on and life was good. It has been months since I have had any problems with this device; hope it was a fluke (fingers crossed).

I checked out the Live TV and switched back and forth between the HD-PVR, HDHR, HVR-1800 and the PVR-350 and between different channels on the HD-PVR with no problems (detected). Good work.

I traced back the problem with the HDHR and the corruption started prior to my installing any patches so I don't see an correlation there. I will continue to play with this configuration over the weekend and report back the results, but right now it looks like this problem is solved.

Channel switching on the HD-PVR appears rock solid. No other apparent problems with the patches. I assume that once you commit the patches to trunk you can close out this ticket?

Thanks for the help.
