MythTV 0.24 fails to start playback after channel change on firewire STB

Description

I have attached the output of mythfrontend --version and mythbackend --version. I have also attached a diff from two changes to the firewire related sources to add in the vendor and model IDs of my Motorola DCX-3400-M STB. These patches are the same in 0.23 and 0.24. When using 0.23 I needed to use a similarly modified version of 6200ch to change channels. I removed this from mythtv-setup for 0.24.

After the upgrade to 0.24 I was no longer able to switch to liveTV or record any programs. My STB has an LED display on the front panel which shows digit-by-digit when a number is pressed on the remote or sent to it via firewire. When I select liveTV in mythfrontend I see the 3 digits sent to the STB the same as in 0.23. I also see the OSD come up briefly and show "Signal 100% TLAM Lock", but before the playback can start (1-2 seconds later) I see the 3 channel digits get sent to the STB again, then the frontend returns to the menu with an error. I have tried to change the tuner timeout in mythtv-setup to as high as 20000ms but it appears to make no difference.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. With a Motorola DCX-3200-M STB apply the attached patches
  2. Build & install mythtv-0.24
  3. Run MythTV-setup to upgrade the database, remove the external channel changer
  4. Start mythbackend and mythfrontend upgrading the database as needed
  5. Attempt to watch live TV. Output as per attached logs.

I can revert to 0.23 + 6200ch and things are working normally again.

Please add mythbackend logs with "-v record,channel"

Replying to jpoet:

Please add mythbackend logs with "-v record,channel"

Actually I think I found the source of this, and its my mistake. In the patch I did not see the same vendor ID I had for the 3400 was right on the line above for the 3200. Although the STB is a 3400 I removed the duplicate vendor ID and recompiled. Things are working OK now.

Thanks!
