Problem with fallback receiver on Opernvix latest

[colEdinburgh]

I have 2 Edison OS Mini's Id like to be able to use the fallback receiver functionality on on of the boxes. I have it set up over my wired network and it works for some channels (BBC SD channels) but not for others (BBC HD channels, channel 4 and many others).

I get the following error message: no data on transponder timeout reading pat

How is it wired .... Powerplugs or direct lan connection?

 

[colEdinburgh]

powerplugs

BBC4 does not broadcast all the time. Are you sure this is not the case?

Please note:

Thread will be moved to the ViX-Team-Images-Support-Discussion section. It is best to use the image support section for image issues as problems/solutions are usually the same irrespective of receiver. It also helps others searching for the same issue although they may have another receiver.

Please read the thread in link below which explains things better.

No harm has been done, no need to apologise. Please bear in mind for future support questions.

If I switch the main box off all the channels on the network box work. There seems to be some sort of conflict when the main box is on

It might be an obvious question but do you have dual tuners on the main box?

 

[colEdinburgh]

Yes I have twin tuners on the main box

 

[gibbletts]

That's the obvious answer gone, I have a box attached to my duo2 via power plugs but I use the remotechannelstreamconverter plugin which works no problem with all channels, you could give that a go if no one can offer a solution to your issue it would achieve what you want.

 

[colEdinburgh]

OK, I tried the remote channel stream converter plug in ... Exactly the same problem. I have re flashed the networked box, still fails

1) So the "client" box is enabled to pick up all channels? Be careful in response
2) Same IP address on both boxes? Its far better to use static addresses so fallback tuner IP address never changes .... same for RCSC plugin
3) when running in fallback tuner mode I assume you disable the tuners on the "client" ?

 

[colEdinburgh]

1) Yes the client box works has no issue with any channels when the server box is on standby. Only when the server box is on do some of the channels on the client fail. Not all channels fail, only some.
2) No each box has its own IP address, this is assigned automatically by the router
3) Correct, the tuner on the client is set to "not configured"

Have you checked 2) Also the IP can vary so really you should use a static IP

Is it possible to move the 2 receivers next to each other and plug both into LAN and see if they run "clean" ?

Yep one is 192.168.1.104 and the other is 192.168.1.128

Can you stream from the server box using WebIF or any other method?

 

[twol]

Yep one is 192.168.1.104 and the other is 192.168.1.128

OK .... and the other suggestion?

How are the tuners configured on your main box? Do you have two independent feeds or are you using a single feed with loop through?
