[ViX_Misc] [Bug is not Edision Specific] Scans bringing box out of standby.

have you put the 'faulty' box upstairs and the good one downstairs as that will eliminate cable issue i suppose?
 
Defiantly not a cable issue I've swapped the two round in the faulty box and still always gets stuck on tuner a, if I put the cable from tuner a into b it downloads fine, if I put the cable from tuner b to tuner a I still get the problem.

Ok so I've done what you said sicilian, fresh flash from usb, using standard abm with no plugins installed, epg data to hdd and I still have the problem, recording on tuner b and cross epg gets stuck at reading titles 293kb on tuner a! I'm going to try a earlier version of vix and see if it happens on that.

How do you know recording is using tuner b? If both tuners are for Astra 28.2? In standby crossepg would use 1st free tuner. So if recording a would be used 1st and crossepg 2nd on b.

Contact wos and let them check the unit out. You might even have an lnb issue when both tuners are being used.
 
I obviously can't tell that in standby, but if I set up a recording I can see its using tuner b so run the download on tuner a and that's when it gets stuck, if I do the scan on tuner b it completes, I can't see this being an lnb issue as my previous box worked fine right up until I swapped it for the edision.
 
If it was an lnb issue then surely I wouldn't complete a scan of 935 channels and I would have problems when viewing? Both snr and agc are in the 90's on tuner A but please correct me if I'm wrong again thanks for your help.
 
One thing I didn't test was record and run crossepg, will test that hopefully tomorrow.

Not telling you to suck eggs Sicilian but did you run cross epg on tuner A?
 
Ive seen quad lnb outputs fail with 2-3 outputs being used at the same time.

Anyway I'll test recording and run cross at sametime tomorrow.

I've done more testing on this with a Edision Twin and VU+ Duo. I can confirm the following this is NOT specific to the Edision OS Mini. VU+ Duo does the samething, you do not have a hardware issue.

Looks like you've found a CrossEPG bug that is presnet when Tuner A is forced to download EPG data and recordings are happening at the sametime on Tuner B. Seems to only affect twin tuner receivers.

To replicate, do not have any recordings running when testing:

1) Switch to BBC One HD > Receiver will use Tuner A provide no recording
2) Press EPG > Select ITV HD > Press Green to Add timer > Recording on ITV HD will now commence using Tuner B.
3) Blue button > CrossEPG Downloader > Crossepg will now try to download, but will lock and fail.

I'll make a bug report in our dev room.
 
Thank you for confirming this I will run another test when I'm home from work just to confirm thanks again!
 
I've just confirmed the same bug in a higher spec 1.3GHz TM-Nano 2 super as well. Your going to have to make sure your recordings don't clash with CrossEPG download for now, until if and when this bug can be fixed.
 
Ok tested this again and it causes cross epg to freeze on tuner a, thanks again for taking the time to test this and put my mind at rest that it's not a problem with my box or satellite system.
 
This has been fixed an will be in next image.

If you cannot wait, download and extract this file. Place in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/CrossEPG

Restart and try again.
