SkyTV Ultimate III network mode Diseqc problem

[yaapu]

Hi,
I'm looking for help on making diseqc work in network mode.

2 satellites, HotBird (diseqc port 0) + Astra (diseqc port 1) on a diseqc 1.2 compliant switch

1) my working setup (networking off):
- raspberrypi on debian
- usb sundtek stick with latest netinst driver
- latest tvheadend from git


2) my failing setup (network mode on)
system A (sat cable is here)
- raspberrypi on debian
- usb sundtek stick with latest netinst driver + network mode on
system B
- linux PC on debian wheezy
- latest sundtek netinst driver with network mount to system A
- latest tvheadend from git

The tvheadend configuration is the same on both setups, but on setup 1 when tvheadend starts the tuning the diseqc switch is correctely set to port A for hotbird scanning and to port B for astra scanning.
On setup 2 (network mode) I see from mediaserver log that system A receives diseqc port B switching request before tuning to every single transponder. This happens even if I only configure 1 diseqc port in tvheadend.

I tried to send diseqc commands from mediaclient but I allways get an unrecognized option as a result, do you have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

thanks a lot,

btw I love network mode :-)

Alex.

I'm not sure when you installed the latest driver, there was a change in the burst port configuration.

You can switch manually by running
/opt/bin/mediaclient --secmini A -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
or
/opt/bin/mediaclient --secmini B -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0

Diseqc commands are:
/opt/bin/mediaclient --diseqc "FF FF FF FF"  -d /dev/dvb/adapterN/frontend0

Replace FF with your commands.

I can confirm that on my setup diseqc commands are not being passed corretely via network mode, If I issue on system B (no sat cable here)

root@squeeze:~# /opt/bin/mediaclient --secmini A -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
Using device: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
setting mini cmd

on system A I see (sat cable here)

Just for your information there has been another update regarding the burst tone.

Hi thanks a lot,
I had indeed tuning problems with the previous release, now the tuner is working beautifully.
