Sorry for the late reply, but the new list confuses the hell out of me
and I missed this message, somehow...

Attached is a log file with the results of dvb-apps/szap on a 3
3/4 channel using a http://jusst.de/hg/v4l-dvb clean compile and cold
boot as recommended.

Also loaded stb6100 and stb0899 with verbose=5

Command line used and result:

After that szapping to that problematic channel, I tried a DVB-S

Going to test your the same multiproto tree _with_ both patches you
mentioned early on this thread.

BTW, I can see all those channels just fine using a DM800 and the
provider original decoder with my subscription card.

I'm positive that dish/lnb/connections aren't the problem.

Thanks for taking the time to address this particular issue.

As promised, a log with the exact same conditions described above, but
with increase_timeout.patch and fix_iterations.patch applied, referred
to on this same thread.

 It

 simply don't work.
 
 BTW, I think the channels above that don't work have a 0x0B stream
 indication. Satellite operators are misleading on the stream (h.222)
 when in fact they are h.264. Read that were on the ML. Don't know if
 it affects anything, but hey... I have to try everything! ;)
 
 I'm available to any tests necessary to fix this once and for all, if
 possible.

Could I suggest something (probably stupid): I think that the TT 3650 
is the same card but using USB, right (I mean it uses the stb0899/
stb6100 chips also)? So if someone could sniff the usb transactions 
during a successfull lock on a problematic channel (using windows 
then), we could see what is different.
I do not have neither Windows, neither this card, but a good soul could 
help us here.
Manu, is that sensible?

Manu (the other one ;-)

simply don't work.

BTW, I think the channels above that don't work have a 0x0B stream
indication. Satellite operators are misleading on the stream (h.222)
when in fact they are h.264. Read that were on the ML. Don't know if
it affects anything, but hey... I have to try everything! ;)

I'm available to any tests necessary to fix this once and for all, if possible.

Just let me know.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Chris

  Hmm OK, but is there by any chance a fix for those issues
 somewhere or
  in the pipe at least? I am willing to test (as I already
 offered), I
  can compile the drivers, spread printk or whatever else is 
 needed
 to
  get useful reports. Let me know if I can help sort this problem.
 BTW in
  my case it is DVB-S2 3 SR and FEC 5/6.
  It was quite not appreciable on my part to provide a fix or reply
 in
  time nor spend much time on it earlier, but that said i was quite
  stuck up with some other things.
 
  Can you please pull a copy of the multiproto tree
  http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto or the v4l-dvb tree from
  http://jusst.de/hg/v4l-dvb
 
  and apply the following patch and comment what your result is ?
  Before applying please do check whether you still have the 
 issues.
 
  Manu,
  I've tried to increase those timers long ago when played around
 with my card
  (Twinhan 1041) and scan utility.
  I must say that I've concentrated mostly on DVB-S channels that
 wasn't
  always locking.
  I didn't notice much improvements. The thing that did help was
 increasing
  the resolution of scan zigzags.
 
  With regards to the zig-zag, one bug is fixed in the v4l-dvb tree.
  Most likely you haven't tried that change.
 
  I've sent a patch on that ML and people were happy with the
 results.
 
  I did look at your patch, but that was completely against the 
 tuning
  algorithm.
 
  [..]
 
  I believe DVB-S2 lock suffer from the same problem, but in that
 case the
  zigzag is done in the chip and not in the driver.
 
  Along with the patch i sent, does the attached patch help you in
  anyway (This works out for DVB-S2 only)?
 
 
 Manu,
 
 I've tried both multiproto branches you indicated above, *with* and
 *without* the patches you sent to the ML (fix_iterations.patch and
 increase timeout.patch) on this thread.
 Sadly, same behavior as S2API V4L-DVB current branch. No lock on 
 3
 3/4 channels. It achieves a 0.5 second jittery sound but no image. It
 seems the driver is struggling to correctly lock on that channel, but
 doesn't get there in time... Or maybe the hardware... Dunno...

Could I suggest something (probably stupid): I think that the TT 3650 
is the same card but using USB, right (I mean it uses the stb0899/
stb6100 chips also)? So if someone could sniff the usb transactions 
during a successfull lock on a problematic channel (using windows 
then), we could see what is different.
I do not have neither Windows, neither this card, but a good soul could 
help us here.
Manu, is that sensible?
Bye
Manu (the other one ;-)
