[Zgemma H7] Some SD channels on Astra2 cannot be viewed

[BrianG61UK]

What type of support thread are you creating?

What OpenViX Image build number are you using?

NO

Have you tried re-flashing WITH a settings restore?

YES

Some SD channels on Astra2 cannot be viewed on my Zgemma H7S.

For a while I just assumed the dish was going out of alignment, however:
1) The "Dream EPG Premium" Android app is able to stream them from the H7S and play them properly (even though attempting to stream and play them with VLC via the .m3u8 file from OpenWebif doesn't work!)
2) I noticed that all the affected channels have "iCAM" on their info screen, sand some other missing and incorrect info. I don't know what that means! (See attached screenshot)

Can anyone suggest what's going on.
I marked this as a possible bug, but maybe it's something I have broken myself, so perhaps don't spend too long trying to figure this out unless someone else can duplicate my results.

Try: when on service, up arrow, menu button, play service without streamrelay (plays ok for me)

Yes that works. Thank you very much. (After up arrow, I had to move up and down to find the channel in question before pressing Menu)

Why would streamrelay (whatever that is) have been randomly enabled?

 

[twol]

/etc/enigma2/whitelist_streamrelay ?

ABM updates (appends) the streamrelay whitelist file. Maybe together TV is now using a service reference which was previously a stream relay channel?

You can delete the file and restart E2 if you want to be certain nothing is left over. Pretty sure it's not kept in RAM, so you won't need to send an init 4 command first.

Yes it is in the ram.

Can you list the channels please (at least some of them)?

 

[bmitie]

That frequency shown is for encrypted channels in videoguard, with 4 FTA channels, sky arts twice, together and challenge.

Together
Challenge

I think that was probably all of them, I don't think Sky Arts was affected.

I've removed /etc/enigma2/whitelist_streamrelay now, and it has been recreated.
I think it is now quite a bit smaller now than it was.
Maybe all the channels on 12148H had been added to it somehow.

Well run ABM again and see if it goes wrong again.

If the channel was wrongly marked as encrypted (in the SI tables) ABM would add it to the list.

That was the first thing I did, and no, it didn't happen again.
